It was also amazing, I couldn’t believe I was going before I got there. I couldn’t believe I was there when I got there. I couldn’t believe I did all that when I got home! That is the true definition of an excellent… Beyond excellent trip!

PRIVATE TOUR: Discover Egypt’s ancient wonders and desert beauty on this 6-day adventure from Cairo to the White Desert and back. Start in the capital with visits to the iconic Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the impressive Grand Egyptian Museum. Then head to Bahariya Oasis for a taste of desert life, exploring ancient tombs and stargazing in the remote White Desert. Marvel at surreal landscapes in the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain and Valley of Agabat before unwinding in natural hot springs. This journey blends history, culture and breathtaking scenery for an unforgettable Egyptian escape.
The only thing I would change is that the first day - coming right after most people had taken trans-oceanic flights and still had jet lag - was too demanding (flying to Luxor, touring Karnak before checking into ship). It would have been better to have a lighter Day One to allow for rest and time zone adjustment, and do Karnak on the way back.
The all-women's tour group and the Tour Director were outstanding and hugely enhanced the experience.
Tipping became a constant irritant and would be better if Tour Director handled tips and Insight appropriately raised the package cost, to alleviate that daily chore (ensuring correct currency & denominations, ATM visits, etc.). PS - bring American dollars in small bills.
Overall, a fascinating country, knowledgeable and constantly helpful Tour Director, and a good balance of historic and current experiences. Aswan (and the Cataract Hotel) was a definite highlight, and don't pass on Abu Simbel. It is worth the cost; as is the Aswan boat tour of the Nile (two options worth doing).
