Description
Journey through nine days of Egypt's most iconic wonders, from the timeless Pyramids of Giza to the sun temples of Abu Simbel. This carefully curated itinerary pairs four nights in Cairo with four nights aboard the 5-star M/S Omar El-Khayam on Lake Nasser — one of the least crowded and most scenic ways to experience ancient Nubia. Sail past temples that once stood along the original Nile before being relocated to escape the waters of the High Dam, with private excursions, a dedicated Spanish-speaking Egyptologist guide, and evenings of Nubian shows, cocktail parties, and galabya nights on board. From the Grand Egyptian Museum's treasures to Khan El-Khalili's bustling lanes, this tour blends world-class archaeology with the deep serenity of the Nile.
