Iconic Experience
- Giza: Enjoy a day gazing at the Great Pyramids of Giza and its treasures - the Step Pyramid of Saqqara and the Colossus of Rames II.
- Cairo: Be mesmerised by the intricate art of Egyptian carpet weaving as you meet the skilled artisans of a local weaving school. This ancient and traditional Egyptian craft is one of the oldest in the country, and only few schools have been safeguarding the traditional weaving methods on wooden looms, using silk and cotton, and natural dyes. More than carpets, they come to life as unique works of art. Your visit directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: Resilient Cities and Communities.
- Temple of Philae: Enjoy a day filled of wonder at the Temple of Isis.
- Sail across the Nile aboard a traditional felucca, its white sail catching the breeze as you drift between palm-lined banks.
- Spend three nights aboard a luxury Nile cruise, gliding past temple-lined shores, riverside villages and stretches of fertile green framed by desert beyond.
- Aswan: Visit the Aswan High Dam, an immense wall of rock holding back the vast blue waters of Lake Nasser as desert stretches towards the horizon.
- Kom Ombo: Discover the temple of Kom Ombo and discover the wonders of the duo gods Horus the Elder and Sobek.
- Karnak: Stand amid a vast forest of columns in the largest temple complex known to man as your Egyptologist explains the significance behind it. Walk the avenue of ram-headed sphinxes, see the statue of Rameses II and the Hypostyle Hall.
- Valley of the Kings: Discover the ancient history behind the final resting place of Egypt's Pharaohs and Queen Hatshepsut's Temple at the Valley of the Kings.
- Fly from Luxor to Cairo, leaving the ancient temples of the Nile behind as Egypt’s sprawling capital awaits.
