Cairo
Day 1-3
Visit the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum and Saqqara. Time permitting, we may take in a mosque. At night, we will take in the light & laser show at the pyramids. Staying at Jimmy Pyramids Hotel near the pyramids.

Luxor

Luxor is where we will embark on our 5-day, 4-night Nile Cruise aboard the Chateau Lafayette. We'll share a junior suite which has two separate twin beds. Stope along the way will allow us to see many sites. Time permitting, we may take in an early morning hot air balloon ride above Luxor.
3
Aswan
Day 7-9
Stay in Aswan to see more sites and visit and stay in a Nubian Village. From here we will catch a one-hour flight to Abu Simbel. Aswan, a city on the Nile River, has been southern Egypt’s strategic and commercial gateway since antiquity. It contains significant archaeological sites like the Philae temple complex, on Agilkia Island near the landmark Aswan Dam. Philae’s ruins include the columned Temple of Isis, dating to the 4th century B.C. Downriver, Elephantine Island holds the Temple of Khnum, from the Third Dynasty.
4
Abu Sinbil
Day 9-11
Because we are staying in Abu Simbel, we have the benefit of being a short 15-minute walk away, so we can visit the site in the morning before the crowds of buses arrive, AND come back in the evening to see the light & laser show because the buses leave before dusk.
5
Cairo
Day 11-12
Head back to Cairo for your flight home! Cairo, Egypt’s sprawling capital, is set on the Nile River. At its heart is Tahrir Square and the vast Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities including royal mummies and gilded King Tutankhamun artifacts. Nearby, Giza is the site of the iconic pyramids and Great Sphinx, dating to the 26th century BC. In Gezira Island’s leafy Zamalek district, 187m Cairo Tower affords panoramic city views.
