This small-group tour from G Adventures begins with a welcome moment at your hotel in Cairo, where the Great Pyramids and Sphinx await on the outskirts. After a short flight to Aswan, the journey unfolds with visits to the Island sanctuary of Philae and a felucca ride accompanied by local tea in a Nubian village. A three-night Nile cruise follows, calling at Kom Ombo and Edfu temples. The itinerary includes a flight to Abu Simbel, where colossal statues of Ramses II stand carved into the mountainside.
Journeys
First time

In Luxor, the tour leads to the Valley of the Kings and several temples: Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple, Karnak’s vast hypostyle hall, and Habu Temple. By arrangement, the group enjoys private access to Edfu Temple before the crowds and an after-hours visit to the Royal Mummies Museum in Cairo. National Geographic Expedition Experts accompany the group, offering depth to the history and culture that remain tangible here, from ancient tombs to the bustling Khan el-Khalili bazaar.
Daily rhythms blend gentle cruising with flights and guided walks, in groups averaging sixteen travellers. It takes time to appreciate how the old Nile Valley has pulsed with life for millennia, and how the players of today live alongside those silent stones.
