This enriching 7-night trip offers a taster of Egypt’s most iconic sites from Cairo’s famous Pyramids of Giza and Great Sphinx to the awe-inspiring temples, tombs, and monuments of the Nile Valley. Cruise Egypt’s river Nile on a luxury cruise ship hopping on and off with an expert Egyptologist to learn more about these incredible ancient treasures.
This memorable exploration begins at Cairo’s Marriott Mena House. Situated at the base of the Pyramids, you can walk to some of Egypt’s most popular attractions. This 5-star Giza resort is also near the Sphinx, Cairo University, and the Egyptian Museum. Follow Cairo with a journey to Aswan in the Nile Valley. Looking like a film set for the Death on the Nile, you will spend the night at Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Hotel before spending 4 nights cruising from Aswan to Luxor on Sanctuary Sun Boat IV, a luxurious floating haven. Expert guides will take you in small groups as you stop off at historic sites such as Philae Temple, the Temple of Khnum and the Temple of Horus. After a day of sightseeing, lounge on the pool deck and gaze out as the ship passes both modern and ancient Egypt.
