In Egypt, scale and stillness sit side by side — pyramids rising from desert plateaus, temples aligned to the storied waters of the River Nile, and the quiet presence of bygone empires woven through ancient terrain. Along this journey, the mysteries and ancient wonders of this civilisation are explored with care — from museum galleries housing the mummified remains of King Tutankhamun to temple walls that reveal ancient embalming practices, celestial alignments and meticulous excavations that continue to shape our understanding of the past.
7 nights in Egypt. Includes return EgyptAir flights, internal flights, private transfers, luxury hotel and Nile cruise accommodation, meet-and-greet services and private Egyptologist guiding throughout. From €6,699 per person.
Moving from Cairo to Aswan, this journey traces the arc of one of history’s greatest civilisations.
In Cairo, the Pyramids rise from the meeting point of fertile cultivation and open desert — deliberate, engineered and enduring symbols of ambition and belief. Further south, in Luxor and beyond, temples were aligned to celestial events and the rhythms of the river, their carvings recording ceremony, power and daily life across successive dynasties.
Sailing between these sites changes the experience entirely. Rather than travelling from monument to monument by road, the Nile becomes the connecting thread — its storied waters carrying you past palms, farmland and desert escarpments. It is here that escapism settles in: mornings spent exploring vast temple complexes, afternoons drifting quietly between them, the presence of bygone empires never far from view.

Arrive in Cairo and transfer privately to your hotel overlooking the Nile. From the terrace or balcony, the river provides your first orientation — wide, constant and central to everything that follows.
Egypt can feel intense if compressed. This route avoids that. Beginning in Cairo provides context; travelling south by river introduces rhythm. The space between sites is as important as the monuments themselves.
