Five-star Egypt trip

Arrive at Cairo International Airport, where a dedicated representative welcomes you and escorts you through passport control, baggage claim, and customs for a seamless, personalized start to your five-star Egypt travel.

A private, air-conditioned transfer then brings you to your carefully selected hotel for check-in and time to unwind.

After breakfast, enjoy a tailored exploration of the Giza Pyramids of Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure with your Egyptologist guide. Wander the plateau, capture panoramic views of the three pyramids set against the Cairo skyline, and visit the Great Sphinx, with the option to enter one of the pyramids independently.

In the afternoon, discover the Egyptian Museum, home to Tutankhamun’s golden treasures, before strolling through the vibrant Khan El Khalili bazaar to browse handcrafted souvenirs and enjoy tea at the historic El Fishawy café.

Fly to Luxor, where our representative meets you and escorts you to board your dahabiya Nile cruise. Settle in with a leisurely lunch on board as your five-star journey begins, thoughtfully paced within your Egypt itinerary and tailored to your interests, with time to relax and enjoy the passing river scenery.

In the afternoon, explore the vast Karnak Temple complex, including the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall and its layers of history, before continuing to Luxor Temple, built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II for grand rituals and festivals, where the spirit of ancient worship still lingers in the desert light.

After breakfast aboard your Nile cruise, set out on a tailor-made West Bank experience that defines your five-star Egypt trip. Visit the Colossi of Memnon and explore the Valley of the Kings with its richly decorated royal tombs, followed by the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at El Deir El Bahari and the Valley of the Queens.

Return to the cruise for a leisurely lunch and afternoon tea, then unwind on board as your personal guide continues to bring the stories of ancient Egypt to life.

After breakfast on board your Nile cruise, visit the exceptionally preserved Ptolemaic Temple of Horus at Edfu, exploring its grand reliefs and hidden corridors.

Then sail to Kom Ombo to discover the Temple of Sobek, honoring the crocodile-headed god of fertility and creator of the world. Enjoy lunch on board as you glide toward Aswan.

After breakfast on board your Nile cruise, your Egyptologist guide leads a personalized exploration of Aswan, including the engineering marvel of the High Dam, the monumental Unfinished Obelisk, and the island sanctuary of Philae Temple, dedicated to Isis and Hathor.

With expert insight and privileged access, these landmarks reveal why Aswan is considered among the best places to visit in Egypt. Later, glide by traditional felucca around Elephantine Island, taking in serene river views and the gentle rhythm of local life.

Visit the awe-inspiring Temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, part of the UNESCO-listed Nubian Monuments. Carved into the mountainside and meticulously relocated above the Aswan High Dam reservoir in 1968, the complex is renowned for its four colossal seated figures of the pharaoh.

Your guide shares the story of the site’s rediscovery in 1813 and its remarkable history, noting that guides are not permitted inside the inner sanctuaries. After the visit, return to Aswan for your short flight to Cairo.

Enjoy a final breakfast at the hotel, complete check-out, and take a private transfer to Cairo International Airport for your final departure. Thank you for joining our five-star Egypt trip.
