Why book this trip?
A 10-day Egypt itinerary designed for travellers flying in from the United States, with extra time to settle in after the long flight and a logistical flow that minimizes internal road travel. You will see the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum's pharaonic collection, sail the Nile between Aswan and Luxor on a 5-star vessel, and visit the rock-cut temples of Abu Simbel near the Sudanese border. All transfers, internal flights and entrance fees included.
