Embarking on this iconic journey, you are invited to traverse the storied waters of the Nile, embarking from the grandeur of Cairo, where the Pyramids and Sphinx stand as eternal sentinels of Egypt's rich history. Your voyage unfolds southward, navigating through the heartland of ancient civilization, toward the enchanting realms that lie between Luxor and Aswan.
Venturing beyond the beaten path, this expedition unveils a rare opportunity. Historically inaccessible, the lower reaches of the Nile between Cairo and Abydos have long eluded the typical tourist trail. Yet, a select few now have the chance to partake in a journey that spans this lesser-trodden terrain. Few and far between are the vessels that undertake the full passage from Cairo to Luxor each year, making this voyage a truly exclusive experience.
As the ship charts its course, you'll encounter hidden gems of antiquity, such as Tel Amarna, Beni Hassan, and Hermopolis, where time seems to stand still amidst the remnants of ancient civilizations. Along the verdant banks of the Nile, glimpses of rural life unfold, offering a window into the everyday existence of the Egyptian people.
Upon reaching Luxor, the pace quickens, and the river teems with activity. Explorations on the west bank unveil the majestic Valley of the Kings, the resplendent Temple of Queen Hatchepsut, and the towering Colossi of Memnon, each a testament to the grandeur of Egypt's pharaonic past. Across the waters, the east bank beckons with the monumental Karnak and Luxor Temples, where gods and pharaohs once held court amidst towering columns and intricate hieroglyphs.
For those embarking on the extended 15-day voyage, the journey continues southward, past the ancient temples of Edfu and Komombo, toward the final destination of Aswan. Here, amidst the tranquil waters, the island temple of Philae rises in splendor, a testament to the enduring legacy of Egypt's spiritual heritage. Optional excursions beckon to the legendary temples of Abu Simbel, relocated to higher ground to escape the encroaching waters of Lake Nasser.
As the journey draws to a close, the ship bids farewell, either in Luxor following the 12-day expedition or in Aswan after the extended 15-day odyssey. From these ancient shores, travelers embark on their homeward journey, their hearts filled with the timeless echoes of Egypt's storied past, their minds enriched by the treasures unearthed along the banks of the mighty Nile.

The trip to Egypt was absolutely amazing. Our tour leader ( Said or Sayed )was exceptional - bringing the mysteries of Ancient Egypt to life with his knowledge, expertise, storytelling with such charm humility and sense of humour. We learnt so much and were hanging off his every word. The itinerary was perfectly balanced. Full of exciting days normally beginning early but having a couple of hours of free time in the afternoon to relax if that’s what you wanted. The hotels were great and the train ride an experience. It’s not the Orient Express but you are warned about that and we just took it as it was and enjoyed the whole journey to Aswan on the overnight sleeper. . The middle day on the boat travelling to Luxor a welcome break from the hustle and bustle. But it was still exciting watching the Nile go by. There were so many highlights from the Great Pyramids, Saqquara, Abu Simbel, Karnak and hot air balloon ride. We did all the optional extras and they are well worth it. Don’t be put off by the long drive to Abu Simbel - you don’t want to miss that. We spent hours at the Old Cataract Hotel on our free morning in Aswan - full of atmosphere and exquisite colonial charm. You have to pay to go in but it’s worth it and you can redeem that money against tea, cake, beer, and the view is absolutely beautiful. We lived and loved every second. We had a lovely group of 7 and the tour leader Sayed (Said) was the perfect accompaniment making the trip probably the best trip we have ever taken. He gets 10 out of 10! We can’t fault Explore! either - great communication and very well organised. We will definitely use them again.

It is truly a wonderful experience, but at the same time a truly "educational one"! Our tour director, was exceptional not wasting a moment of any day, pointing out the very significant points of interests, at the same time, taking every part of this significant history in a chronological order.
The accomodations and service, both on the boat and in the hotel were five start plus, since we live in the Palm Beaches and use to up-scale adventure, made the "Breakers", look like an outhouse.....need I say more!
The value vs the price were evenly matched.
As for shopping, once again, significant shops were selected to include, spice, perfumes, and of course jewelry. At the same time educationing you on their wares and how they are used.
Like INSIGHT always does, is taking you inside the home of a residemt and demonstrates their current life style and habits, only in this example, demonstrated how bread was made not only for their family, but the entire neighborhood.
This trip will certainly standout from most, due to education we received from the extraordinary adventure. Thanks again,
and

We saw so many things and now have lots of good memories. it was a lot of traveling by car, bus and air, but all went smoothly. We especially enjoyed our guides and drivers. They were so helpful and got us around safely.
This itinerary was a great way to see all the highlights Egypt has to offer. Along with a fantastic Tour Director this is the perfect trip for anyone interested in the history. Part of the itinerary was a cruise on the Nile. The ship and crew were fantastic and it was easily one of my favorite parts. With daily stops and chances to bond with other Travellers it was so much fun.
This Trafalgar tour includes both ancient history and current day industry. It was very interesting to see how they make different items today in Egypt.
The food provided with the itinerary was great, options for everyone.
I highly recommend this itinerary.
