The Great Pyramids at Gisa, Egypt
The Great Pyramids at Gisa, Egypt
For thousands of years, Egypt has attracted travellers from around the world. Its stunning monuments and ancient wonders are as popular today as they have ever been. The enormity of the Pyramids, the splendour of the Temples at Luxor and the mysteries of the Tombs in the Valley of the Kings all combine to make Egypt a must for anyone with a sense of adventure.
 
We begin our tour in Cairo where we take time to visit the great pyramids of Gisa, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the nearby ancient and enigmatic Sphinx. We also visit the famous Egyptian museum with its Tutankhamun display.
 
From here we travel to Luxor and have ample time to visit the vast array of monumental architecture from a glorious long gone era. On the east bank we see the wonderfully preserved and immense Temples of Karnak and Luxor. On the west bank of the Nile we visit, amongst other sites, the Valleys of the Kings to see the multitude of Pharoanic tombs, which have been unearthed during years of excavations, and the Medinat Habu temple, whose deeply carved hieroglyphics and bright paintwork really give us an idea of how these temples looked in their prime.

After a free day to explore more of Luxor's sites and bazaars, take a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the west bank, or just to relax by the pool in front of the Nile, we head back to Cairo where we tour the city’s many interesting sites including the Citadel and sprawling Khan-el-Khalili bazaar. We also enjoy a 5-star evening dinner cruise on the Nile accompanied by traditional song and dance.
 
We have a little time for some last minute shopping and sightseeing before our tour ends and we transfer you to the airport for your departure.
