Overview

Step into a land where ancient myth and natural marvels unfold in cinematic rhythm. This 11-day journey through Egypt is more than just a classic cruise—it’s a curated passage through temples, tombs, tranquil oases, and timeless sands. Begin beneath the shadows of the Great Pyramids in Giza, then float down the Nile on a graceful cruise, tracing the path of pharaohs from Aswan to Luxor. Along the way, stand before Abu Simbel’s colossal statues, wander the Valley of the Kings, and drift past riverside villages caught in a slower century.

But this adventure doesn’t stop with the familiar. Venture west into the ethereal silence of the White Desert, where surreal chalk formations glow gold at sunset and the sky spills over with stars. From bustling Cairo bazaars to campfires in the sands, this is Egypt in its richest layers—both legendary and lesser-known, regal and remote. Perfect for the traveller who seeks stories carved in stone and written in the wind.
