More Details
Your Egypt luxury tour first begins in Cairo. On arrival, a VIP escort helps secure your entry visa before transferring you to your luxury hotel.
Spend your first days exploring Cairo’s most iconic landmarks with your private Egyptologist guide. Stand before the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, marveling at the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to King Tutankhamun’s golden treasures and more than 50,000 artifacts spanning 7,000 years.
The following day, your guided tour takes you to Memphis, Egypt’s first capital. Here a colossal statue of Ramses II still remains. Explore the Step Pyramid at Saqqara and the Bent and Red Pyramids at Dahshur. Indeed, these represent Egypt’s oldest and best preserved monuments.
Fly south to Luxor, once the ancient city of Thebes. Indeed, any Egypt tour package would be incomplete without a private guided tour of the Valley of the Kings. Here you will discover the tombs of pharaohs—including King Tutankhamun’s—lie carved deep into the rock. Also see the dramatic Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a monument to one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs.
Continue your best of Egypt tour with private tours of Abydos and Dendera. Discover the Temple of Hathor, dedicated to the goddess of love. Then explore the sacred sites of Abydos, one of Egypt’s oldest religious centers.
Return to Luxor to walk through the monumental temples of Karnak and Luxor. These vast complexes, dedicated to gods such as Amun and Mut, showcase the grandeur of Egypt’s golden age.
Then board your private dahabiya at Esna and set sail along the legendary Nile River. This intimate river journey offers a unique perspective on Egypt Travel. It also brings you to hidden sites larger cruise ships cannot access.
Stroll through traditional markets in Esna, then visit the Temple of Khnum. In addition, walk among decorated tombs at El Kab and travel by horse carriage to the grand Temple of Horus in Edfu. Along the way, enjoy chances to swim in the Nile and explore islands dotted with hieroglyphs and ancient carvings.
Continue to the quarries at Gebel Silsileh, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and charming riverside villages. Indeed, each day blends sightseeing with relaxation, offering time to savor the rhythm of life along the Nile. Conclude your cruise in Aswan, where the desert meets the river in a stunning landscape.
Your Egypt luxury tour then continues with an internal flight to Abu Simbel. This serves as the home to the colossal temples of Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari. These monuments, carved into the mountainside, stand as some of Egypt’s greatest achievements.
Back in Aswan, visit the island temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis, and explore the Unfinished Obelisk. Then end your time with a visit to a Nubian village, gaining insight into traditional Egyptian culture.
