Nile Explorer From $2,798 / 9 Days / 10 Guided Tours / 1 Country

Egypt is a land of great contrasts. The bustling world city of Cairo, just a few miles away from small towns along the Nile. The ancient wonders of Giza and Luxor and the 20th-century masterwork of the Aswan Dam. See it all—gaze upon the Great Pyramids, the mysterious Sphinx, the mighty temples of Luxor and Karnak and the colossal statues of Rameses and Nefertari. Hear Nubian drums and shop in colorful souks.

Learned Egyptologists accompany you throughout your 9-day journey, enhancing your experience with background and context.
