Itinerary Description:

Your Egypt luxury getaway is dedicated to melding high-end comfort with abundant history, and there is no better place to experience both than from your Nile-facing suite at the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza. After an evening of rest, set off with your personal Egyptologist guide for a full day discovery of the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, which paired together produce an all-encompassing encounter with the ancient past. Witnessing the Sphinx and Khufu's Pyramid in all of their glory is almost as unforgettable as wondering for hours through the treasure trove of rare Egyptian pieces at the exquisite Museum of Antiquities.

Rounding out your last-minute Egypt luxury getaway is the lush oasis of Fayoum, located just outside of Cairo. The newly opened Lazib Inn is the definition of luxury in the desert, boasting delicious cuisine, endless wine cellars, and manicured gardens overlooking the world's oldest nature reserve, Lake Qaroun. Fayoum is Egypt’s oldest city and one of the most ancient in all of Africa, and yet it still remains relatively unknown to the outside world. Its wealth of history and remote setting opens up a magical landscape of shimmering sand flats, pristine desert, rich archaeological sites, and plenteous fossil remains for those who make the journey. And what better way to conclude your pampered Egypt escape than a horseback ride through the desert, a visit to the 40-million year old whale skeletons of the "Valley of the Whales", or a felucca sailing outing on the eternal Lake Qaroun?
