Royal Egypt Tour (14 Days / 13 Nights )

Your Egyptian adventure begins the moment you arrive at Cairo International Airport, where our representative will welcome you and assist with arrival formalities. Continue by private transfer to your refined Cairo accommodation, where you can settle in and relax after your journey.

The remainder of the day is yours to unwind and prepare for the extraordinary experiences ahead.

Begin your exploration with the most recognizable symbols of ancient Egypt—the magnificent Pyramids of Giza. Stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, alongside the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure.

Explore the plateau with your private Egyptologist, encounter the mysterious Great Sphinx, and take in the unforgettable panorama of the pyramids rising from the desert.

Continue to Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most important archaeological sites and home to the revolutionary Step Pyramid of King Djoser. Designed by the legendary architect Imhotep, this extraordinary monument marked a turning point in Egyptian architecture and paved the way for the great pyramids that followed.

Discover the extraordinary Grand Egyptian Museum, a world-class cultural landmark dedicated to the story of ancient Egypt. Explore magnificent galleries filled with masterpieces spanning thousands of years, culminating in the spectacular treasures associated with King Tutankhamun.

Later, experience a completely different side of Cairo at Khan El Khalili, where historic lanes, traditional workshops, cafés and colorful shops capture the atmosphere of Old Cairo. Wander through the centuries-old bazaar and experience the living traditions of the city beyond its ancient monuments.

Leave Cairo behind and travel south to Luxor, ancient Thebes and one of the greatest archaeological destinations in the world.

Upon arrival, embark on your refined Nile cruise, your home for the coming days. Settle into your cabin and enjoy your first glimpse of the Nile as you prepare to explore the temples, tombs and landscapes of Upper Egypt.

Later, discover Luxor Temple, an extraordinary monument in the heart of the ancient city. Particularly enchanting as evening approaches, its illuminated columns, statues and courtyards create one of Luxor’s most memorable settings.

Cross to Luxor’s West Bank and enter the legendary Valley of the Kings, where Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs created magnificent tombs hidden deep within the desert mountains.

Explore beautifully decorated royal tombs and discover the beliefs surrounding kingship, death and the afterlife. Among the valley’s most celebrated discoveries is the tomb of King Tutankhamun, uncovered by Howard Carter in 1922.

Continue to the spectacular Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dramatically built against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Its terraces and colonnades celebrate one of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable rulers.

Complete your West Bank exploration at the monumental Colossi of Memnon before returning to your Nile cruise.

Explore the monumental Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious complexes ever constructed. Generations of pharaohs expanded Karnak over centuries, creating an extraordinary collection of temples, sanctuaries, obelisks and monumental gateways.

Walk through the magnificent Great Hypostyle Hall, where towering columns rise high above you, and discover the stories carved across the temple walls.

Return to your cruise and begin sailing through the timeless landscapes of Upper Egypt. Relax on deck as fertile fields, palm trees, villages and desert scenery unfold along the banks of the Nile.

Begin your day’s exploration at the magnificent Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus. Exceptionally well preserved, its towering entrance, courtyards and richly carved walls provide a remarkable insight into ancient Egyptian religious life.

Continue sailing toward Kom Ombo, where an unusual riverside temple awaits. Uniquely designed for the worship of two gods—Sobek and Horus—the temple features fascinating reliefs and a striking symmetrical layout.

Between visits, enjoy the leisurely rhythm of your Nile cruise and watch the landscapes of rural Egypt drift peacefully past.

Arrive in Aswan, where ancient history, Nubian heritage and the beauty of the Nile come together.

Discover the enchanting Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis and beautifully positioned on Agilkia Island. Reached by boat, its elegant setting makes it one of southern Egypt’s most atmospheric ancient monuments.

Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, where you can see firsthand how enormous monuments were carved directly from Aswan’s granite quarries, before visiting the impressive Aswan High Dam.

Complete your exploration at the Aswan Museum, where archaeological discoveries provide further insight into the history and cultural heritage of Aswan and ancient Nubia.

Journey through the landscapes of southern Egypt to one of the country’s most extraordinary archaeological treasures—the Temples of Abu Simbel.

Carved into the mountainside during the reign of Ramses II, the Great Temple is guarded by four colossal statues of the pharaoh. Inside, monumental halls and detailed reliefs celebrate his reign and divine status.

Nearby stands the beautiful temple dedicated to Queen Nefertari, one of the finest monuments created in honor of an Egyptian queen.

The temples are equally remarkable for their modern history: they were carefully relocated during an extraordinary international conservation project to protect them from the rising waters created by the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

Return to Aswan following your exploration.

Bid farewell to the landscapes of Upper Egypt and continue your journey to Sharm El Sheikh, exchanging ancient temples and the timeless Nile for the brilliant blue waters of the Red Sea.

Upon arrival, settle into your refined seaside resort and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure. Relax beside the pool, walk along the beach, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings after several fascinating days of exploration.

This marks a beautiful change of pace as the cultural discoveries of your journey give way to relaxation and family time by the sea.

Discover another side of Egypt beneath the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea.

Sharm El Sheikh is renowned for its spectacular marine environment, colorful coral reefs and extraordinary diversity of sea life. Families can choose from optional snorkeling, diving and boat experiences or simply spend the day enjoying the beach and resort facilities.

Whether you choose adventure or relaxation, today is designed to be enjoyed entirely at your own pace.

Enjoy a full day devoted to relaxation and family time in Sharm El Sheikh.

Unwind beside the Red Sea, enjoy the comforts of your resort, or choose an optional experience to add another adventure to your journey. From exploring beneath the water to simply enjoying the sunshine and spectacular coastal scenery, the day is yours.

After discovering Egypt’s pyramids, temples and royal tombs, these leisurely days provide the perfect balance to your journey.

Spend your final full day in Egypt enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Sharm El Sheikh.

Relax on the beach, enjoy the resort, return to the Red Sea for one last snorkeling or diving experience, or simply spend quality time together as a family.

As your journey draws toward its conclusion, today offers time to slow down and reflect on the extraordinary experiences shared across Egypt—from standing beneath the Great Pyramids and sailing the Nile to exploring royal tombs and swimming in the Red Sea.

Enjoy your final moments on the Red Sea before departing Sharm El Sheikh for Cairo, where you will connect with your international flight home.

Your 14-day journey may come to an end, but the experiences remain: the monumental Pyramids of Giza, treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum, royal tombs of Luxor, temples along the Nile, majestic Abu Simbel and the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea.

Leave Egypt with unforgettable memories of a journey shared together—and stories your family will carry home for years to come.
