Overview

Step into a world where the past lingers in the air, etched in sandstone and whispered by the winds of the Sahara. This immersive Egyptian itinerary traces the spine of an ancient civilization — from the shadow of the mighty pyramids to the golden tombs of Luxor, from the serene waters of the Nile aboard a graceful dahabiya to the colossal temples of Abu Simbel carved deep into desert cliffs.

Whether you’re navigating Cairo’s vibrant souks, marvelling at the treasures of Tutankhamun, or drifting beneath the stars on the Nile, this journey captures Egypt in all its majestic contrasts — old and new, still and stirring. Designed for travellers who crave depth, wonder, and a touch of mystery, this is not just a holiday. It’s a timeless voyage into the soul of a country that has enchanted for millennia — and still does.
