Enjoy the highlights of the Nile Valley and relax on the Red Sea coast
We begin our Egypt adventure in Cairo, where we see the treasures of Tutankhamun and the royal mummies, including Ramses II. Later we visit the pyramids and Sphinx before a sleeper train takes us to Aswan. Here we ride camels, sail in a traditional felucca and explore the Nubian bazaar. Boarding our riverboat, we cruise to Luxor, visiting the temples of Komombo and Edfu along the way. We explore the massive temple complex at Karnak and cross the Nile to visit the celebrated Valley of the Kings and the beautiful Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Driving to the coast, we relax with a couple of days by the beach, a fun boat trip and some fantastic snorkelling. We then head back to Cairo and spend a final morning in the sprawling Khan el Khalili bazaar.
