Ancient Egypt meets Red Sea paradise. This 12-day private journey combines the legendary monuments of Cairo, a five-star Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor past ancient temples and tombs, and pure relaxation on the golden shores of Hurghada. It is the perfect balance of culture, history, and beach.
From the Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Karnak, from the Valley of the Kings to the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea — every day brings a new dimension of Egypt.
