Royal Egypt Tour (14 Days / 13 Nights )

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, check in at your hotel in Luxor. Your Nile cruise begins on Day 5.

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 boarding your Nile cruise in Luxor for four nights aboard, disembarking in Aswan on Day 9.

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.

Disembark from your Nile cruise in Aswan. Travel to Abu Simbel by flight.

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 and stay overnight at your hotel in Aswan.

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 Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh 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.
