Your adventure begins with a guided visit to the most iconic landmarks of Egypt. Stand before the Great Pyramids of Giza—Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos—and learn their secrets from your expert Egyptologist. Continue to the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple. After lunch (optional), head south to Saqqara to explore the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the very first pyramid ever built, along with ancient tombs decorated with vivid hieroglyphs.

After breakfast, transfer to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, you will board your luxury Nile Cruise. Once settled, begin exploring Luxor's East Bank with visits to Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex ever built, and Luxor Temple, beautifully illuminated at night. Return to the cruise for dinner and overnight accommodation.

Start the morning with a fascinating trip to the West Bank of Luxor. Enter the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs such as Tutankhamun and Ramses were buried. Continue to the terraced Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to Egypt’s first female pharaoh, then stop at the massive Colossi of Memnon. Return to the cruise ship as it begins sailing through the Nile toward Edfu, allowing you to relax on deck and enjoy the scenic river views.

In the morning, visit Edfu Temple, dedicated to Horus, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Explore its impressive halls and sacred carvings. The cruise continues south to Kom Ombo Temple, uniquely built for two gods—Sobek and Horus—where you can see ancient surgical instruments in the onsite museum. After the tour, relax as you sail toward Aswan, enjoying sunset views from the upper deck.

Start your day with a visit to the graceful Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis and beautifully relocated to Agilkia Island. Continue to the High Dam, one of Egypt’s most important engineering achievements. Afterwards, you may choose an optional felucca ride around the Nile islands or visit the colorful Nubian village. Return to the cruise for your final onboard dinner.

Check out from the cruise and transfer by private A/C vehicle to Hurghada (or optional flight). Upon arrival, check in at your Red Sea resort. Spend the rest of the day relaxing on sandy beaches, swimming, or enjoying hotel facilities.

Enjoy a full free day by the Red Sea. Stay at leisure on the beach, swim in crystal-clear waters, or join optional excursions such as a snorkeling boat trip, diving adventure, submarine ride, desert quad safari, or parasailing. Evening free to enjoy Hurghada’s vibrant nightlife or a relaxing stroll by the marina.

Check out from your hotel and transfer to Hurghada Airport for your flight home. If your international flight departs from Cairo, you will instead fly back to Cairo and connect to your departure flight. End of your unforgettable 9-day Egyptian journey.
