Combine a Nile Cruise with a stay in Cairo & the Red Sea Riviera

We take great pleasure in presenting an exclusive tour that brings together Cairo, where past and present meet, as well as the magic and mystery of The Nile. Your tour begins:

For centuries travellers have been fascinated by the mystical allure of the Nile. A relaxing cruise, alongside Egypt’s many archaeological wonders, provides the perfect combination for an unforgettable holiday. Our Ancient Egypt itinerary takes you from Luxor to Aswan, visiting some of the most spectacular ancient sites in the world, including the stunning Valley of the Kings, the burial place of the Pharaohs, including Tutankhamun and the breath-taking temples Karnak and Luxor.

Cairo is a must for anyone fascinated by the magnificent Great Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza. Situated on the Nile, Cairo is exciting, vibrant and fascinating; it is a perfect blend of old and new.

Take time to explore the treasures of Tutankhamun in the Egyptian museum or take a stroll around the bustling Khan El Khalili bazaar. Away from the city centre, there is still more to see from the capital of ancient Egypt at Memphis to the Step Pyramid at Saqqara.

Combine this with the wonderous Red Sea with clear blue waters, golden beaches and Luxury Hotels to create a truly relaxing holiday.
