Pyramids, Temples and the Nile: the Ultimate Egypt Experience

A journey to Egypt offers the perfect opportunity to step back in time this August. On this epic 10-day voyage of discovery, you’ll take in the legendary Giza pyramids and Sphinx, discover the ancient Valley of the Kings with its tomb of Tutankhamun, embrace the multisensory chaos of the Khan Al-Khalili Bazaar, and sail down the Nile by both cruise ship and kayak. It’s not just historic delights, though; you’ll also enjoy a cocktail party on a traditional sailboat while you watch the sun glisten off Africa’s longest river.
