Elegant Egypt

This incredible 11-night journey combines the legendary Mena House Oberoi, located opposite the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau, with the deluxe Mövenpick Resort Aswan and a luxurious Nile cruise on board the M/S Triton.

Begin with two days of sightseeing in Cairo accompanied by a university-trained Egyptologist guide. Discover the wonder of the pyramids at Giza, and visit the Solar Boat Museum, the Queens’ pyramids, and the Sphinx before moving on to Memphis and the ancient cemetery of Sakkara. The next day, visit the Saladin Citadel and the Mosque of Mohammed Ali, and enjoy tours of Old Cairo and its churches, the Synagogue of Ben Ezra, and the Coptic Museum in addition to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities.

Fly to Aswan to experience the great Granite Quarries and the Temple of Philae on the island of Agilkia. Enjoy a felucca cruise along the river, and ride or walk with camels to the amazing Monastery of St. Simeon.

Enjoy the next morning at your leisure or opt to participate in an excursion to Abu Simbel before embarking on the M/S Triton for your journey up the Nile to Luxor, visiting Egypt’s greatest sights along the way, before rounding off your journey with one more night at the Mena House Oberoi.
