Highlights
Cairo: Visit Egypt’s most iconic ancient sites in one stop: the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. Your Trip Manager will guide you around the plateau, sharing the stories behind how these monuments were built and what they meant to the people who created them. Think: pharaoh power to afterlife beliefs and the engineering that still impresses today.
Cairo: The world's largest archaeological museum complex is no joke. You'll find 100,000 artifacts here (including King Tut's ENTIRE treasure collection). You don't wanna miss this one...
Cairo: Roll up your sleeves and join a seasoned local home cook for a hands-on Egyptian food adventure. You’ll kick things off at a buzzing local market, picking out fresh ingredients for a classic lunch. Back in the kitchen, you’ll learn to make taamiya (Egypt’s take on falafel) from scratch, while getting the lowdown on local cheeses, basterma and tehina from someone who knows it best. Then comes the best bit — sitting down together to enjoy the feast you’ve created, soaking up that laid-back, family-style Egyptian meal
Aswan: Spend a few nights aboard a river cruise – with views out over the Nile and a sun deck on board.
Aswan: Sit back and chill as you drift down the famous river on a traditional felucca sailing boat
Kom Ombo: Explore this seriously cool double temple with a perfectly symmetrical layout. One side is dedicated to Sobek (the crocodile god), the other to Horus (the falcon god) — two temples in one, and twice the ancient intrigue.
Luxor: Grab your camera and explore one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites. See the tomb of Tutankhamun from the outside (with the option to add on exploring it from the inside!) and many other Egyptian pharaohs.
Hurghada: Check out these towering Pharaoh statues. They’ve stood guard since 1350 BC, even surviving natural disasters. And apparently one even ‘sings’ in the wind.
Luxor: Get ready to see Luxor on two wheels. We'll cruise past epic monuments and historic spots with stories that bring the place to life. The best bit? You’ll meet local youth communities along the way, so you can swap hellos, hear real stories, and ride away with more than just photos
Hurghada: Buckle up for a 4x4 ride across open desert terrain, chasing big views and off-road thrills. You’ll visit a Bedouin settlement to learn about local life, then refuel with a barbecue lunch served up the traditional way. Sand, stories, and seriously good feeds.
Cairo: Step into history with a visit to the 4th-century Monastery of St Anthony, set in a desert oasis that feels worlds away from everything. Ancient walls, quiet courtyards, and wide-open desert all around — peaceful, powerful, and seriously atmospheric.
