Day-by-Day Itinerary

Welcome to Egypt. On arrival at Cairo International Airport you are met by our representative, assisted through the formalities and transferred by private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel. Your tour manager runs through the itinerary and confirms pick-up times before you settle in for the evening.

After breakfast your guided day begins on the Giza Plateau, where you marvel at the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. You then visit the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple.

After lunch at a local restaurant, continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of ancient Egypt - including the complete Tutankhamun collection - await.

After breakfast you check out and fly to Luxor, where you board your deluxe Nile cruiser and enjoy lunch on board.

In the afternoon you explore the Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built, and the Luxor Temple. Dinner is served on board as the cruise sets off along the Nile.

After breakfast you explore Luxor's West Bank, the burial ground of Egypt's pharaohs. Visit the Valley of the Kings, where Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered, the impressive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon.

Enjoy lunch on board and relax on deck as the ship sails towards Edfu.

Arriving at Edfu, you visit the Temple of Horus, one of Egypt's best-preserved temples. Sailing on to Kom Ombo, you explore the Temple of Sobek and Horus, unusually shared by two deities. Lunch and dinner are served on board as the cruise continues towards Aswan.

After breakfast you discover Aswan's highlights - the Unfinished Obelisk, still lying in its ancient quarry, and the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis and relocated to Agilkia Island to save it from the rising Nile. Return to your cruiser for dinner and a peaceful night on board.

After breakfast you disembark and transfer to Aswan Airport for your flight back to Cairo, where you are met and taken to your hotel. The evening is free at your leisure.

After breakfast you transfer to Cairo International Airport for your flight to Dubai. On arrival your local representative meets you and transfers you to your hotel. The rest of the day is free to relax or begin exploring the city.

This morning you tour historic Dubai - the Al Fahidi (Bastakiya) quarter, Dubai Museum and a traditional abra crossing of Dubai Creek, followed by the Gold and Spice Souks and photo stops at Jumeirah Mosque and the Burj Al Arab.

In the evening you board a dhow for a dinner cruise along Dubai Marina, enjoying a buffet as the illuminated skyline glides past.

A full-day excursion to Abu Dhabi. Visit the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, drive along the Corniche past the Emirates Palace, experience Emirati traditions at the Heritage Village, and tour the world-class Louvre Abu Dhabi before returning to Dubai.

Enjoy a leisurely morning before an afternoon desert safari. Ride the golden dunes by 4x4, try sandboarding and a short camel ride at a Bedouin camp, then watch the sunset before a BBQ dinner with live tanoura and belly-dance entertainment.

After breakfast you check out and our representative escorts you to Dubai International Airport for your onward flight, marking the end of your Egypt and Dubai package.
