Why this route stands out

A closer look at the journey

Cairo

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.

Luxor

Safaga will set your imagination spinning as the gateway to Luxor. Head back to the start of human history and find yourself at Karnak’s staggering complex of temples. Let Egyptologists fill in the missing pieces at Luxor Temple, built with prolific pharaoh patronage. Sail high over the Valley of Kings on a private hot air balloon and go underground to unlock the mystery at Tutankhamun’s tomb. Pay respect to the only woman Pharaoh and salute Egypt’s most considerable, Colossi of Memnon. Sparkly Safaga Red Sea escapades to stony burial chambers, mighty monuments and expressive artistry – this region offers a millennia-old flavour of the world’s greatest ancient wonders.
