Day 2: A Day Surrounded by Greatness – From the Pyramids to the Museum Treasures
Let’s start a new day in the heart of Cairo, but this time we’re gonna meet ancient Egyptian civilization face to face. Your day will start with breakfast at the hotel, then we’ll head to the Pyramids of Giza – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – and just standing in front of them makes you feel greatness and history.
Then we’ll continue the tour to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, where you’ll find everything you could imagine about the ancient Egyptian kings. This is a day full of amazement, photos, knowledge, and laughter with your trip buddies. Get ready for a day you’ll never forget!
The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx
The moment you arrive at the pyramids area, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a history book – but this time, you’re touching it with your hands! In front of you are three huge pyramids: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.
What really catches the eye is Khufu’s Pyramid – the biggest of them all – and it’s more than 4500 years old. If you want, you can go inside it (with an extra ticket) and discover the narrow rooms they used to prepare for the king’s eternal rest.
After the pyramids tour, we’ll meet the Sphinx statue – and it really is a mystery! With a human face and a lion’s body, it’s been standing in place for thousands of years as if guarding the tombs.
The place is open and wide, and gives you a different view of Cairo – especially if it’s sunny, the photos will turn out amazing! You’ll hear stories from the guide about how the pyramids were built, who worked on them, and how the Pharaohs left the world in awe to this very day.
After diving into the world of the pyramids, we’ll go to another place that’s no less amazing: the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. The moment you enter, you’ll find yourself surrounded by over 120,000 artifacts!
From ancient statues and preserved mummies to everyday tools, dazzling jewelry, and even the food Egyptians packed for the next world — every item tells a piece of their story.
The most important stop inside the museum is the Tutankhamun section – the young king whose tomb was found almost intact. His golden mask is dazzling, like a piece of art made by angels!
You’ll also see his gilded sarcophagus and the tiny statues they believed would protect him. The guide will explain every detail – from the mummification process to the Egyptians’ beliefs about the afterlife.
The place is full of details – every hall tells the story of a different era in Egypt, and every statue has a tale. If you love photography, you’ll find amazing angles, but be careful because some halls don’t allow photos.
The museum is an educational and cultural experience, and at the same time, it’s really fun – especially when you share the moment with your trip friends and laugh at every new discovery.
So after an exciting walk through thousands of years inside the museum, it’s time to take a deep breath, relax, and maybe grab a bite or chill with your travel buddies. Because tomorrow… get ready for a brand new adventure! We’re hitting the road to Alexandria.
A new morning starts on the road in a trip from Cairo to Alexandria, but before we arrive, we'll pass by one of the calmest and most spiritual places in Egypt: Wadi El Natron.
A place where monks once hid long ago and found safe refuge from persecution. After that, we’ll continue toward the Bride of the Mediterranean, the city founded by Alexander the Great, which still keeps its old European spirit with a genuine Egyptian flavor.
Get ready for a day filled with spirituality, calmness, ancient history, and at the same time, a sea breeze and stunning architecture in Alexandria.
Wadi El Natron
Wadi El Natron is a totally different place than anything you've seen before.
The journey feels like a gentle escape — a road wrapped in stillness, leading you into a world untouched by time. Once you arrive, the guide will tell you the story of the place and how it became a refuge for Christians after Saint Macarius the Great chose to live here alone back in 360 AD.
There were once more than 60 monasteries in the valley, but now only 4 remain. The quietness there makes you hear your own thoughts. You’ll see monks living their day in simplicity and spirituality.
You’ll walk through the garden inside the monastery, with palm trees and greenery in the middle of the desert, and from afar, you’ll glimpse the beautiful church with its tall towers and the desert stretching all around.
Anba Bishoy Monastery
After visiting Wadi El Natron, we’ll stop at one of the most important remaining monasteries: Anba Bishoy Monastery. This monastery is dedicated to Saint Bishoy, who chose a life of solitude and deep faith, away from the distractions of the world.
As soon as you enter through the monastery gate, you’ll feel peace. The monks there are very simple, always smiling, and living a life full of calm and worship.
You’ll walk around the garden carefully cared for, see monks working in farming or praying, and everything around you says "simplicity."
You'll also go inside the church within the monastery, where you’ll find icons painted by talented artists, and you can truly feel the spirit of the place.
From the top of the church, you can see the desert stretching as far as the eye can see – giving you a deep sense of the spiritual isolation the saints once sought.
After the spiritual visit, we’ll get back on the road and continue our way to Alexandria. The trip takes about 4 hours from Cairo, but once you arrive and feel the sea breeze, all the tiredness melts away.
This city is a mix of ancient history and classic European style. The houses, the streets, the Corniche – every little detail tells a story.
We’ll arrive at the hotel, and it’s time for you to rest a bit and get ready for a new day tomorrow full of stunning spots like Qaitbay Citadel and the world-famous Library. But today marks the start of your relaxation, the sea, and deep breaths.
Today, we’ll wake up to a totally different kind of day! Welcome to Alexandria — where the sea meets centuries of history, and every breeze carries a sense of peace.
Your day will start with a light breakfast, then we’ll begin discovering the city’s secrets with our guide, who’ll share fun stories at every stop.
From ancient underground tombs to the library that gathers world cultures, all the way to the fortress that once protected the city from enemies… and all of this with Alexandria’s breezy air all day long!
Breakfast
Your morning will start with a delicious breakfast at the hotel – simple and light, just right to get you ready for a day full of adventures.
Whether you prefer to start your day with a cup of tea or a quick coffee, with some pastries or traditional bread – everything is available. Take your time and enjoy the morning vibes while getting ready for a day full of Alexandria’s charm.
Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa
Our first stop today is one of the strangest and most beautiful surprises buried underground: the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa.
Just imagine going down a spiral staircase that takes you to a whole other world! These tombs go back to the Roman era and were discovered by accident in 1900 when a donkey was walking and suddenly fell into a hole – and that hole turned out to be a great archaeological discovery!
What’s strange about this place is that it mixes 3 cultures: Roman, Greek, and Egyptian.
You’ll see statues in Egyptian style wearing Roman clothes, and strange drawings that you won’t find anywhere else. The place feels heavy, but magical – like you just stepped into a historical movie.
If you love photography, you’ll find amazing angles, but be careful because the lighting is low.
Bibliotheca Alexandrina
After that, we’ll head to a place that represents knowledge, light, and culture: the new Library of Alexandria. This library is built on the site of the ancient Library of Ptolemy that burned down more than 1700 years ago.
The moment you arrive, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a space station – the architecture is so modern and unique. The outer walls are full of stone and inscriptions from all the world’s languages!
Inside, you’ll find huge halls filled with millions of books, art exhibitions, small museums, and even a space dome.
If you love quiet and studying – or just want to wander among the books – this place is a paradise. And if you have kids or enjoy interactive places, you’ll find fun sections too.
Fort Qaitbay
We’ll wrap up today’s journey at Fort Qaitbay, a legendary seaside fortress that once stood as a powerful guardian of the Mediterranean coast. Standing proud since the 14th century, this fort was raised over the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria — once a marvel of the ancient world.
Once you arrive, you’ll see the sea surrounding you from every direction, and you’ll enter a huge stone building with a very special historic feel.
Inside the fort, you’ll walk between towers and strong walls, and you can go up to the rooftops to see a panoramic view of the sea and the Corniche. The place is perfect for photos, especially at sunset.
Day 5: A Different Journey Inside History
Today, we’ll say goodbye to beautiful Alexandria and head towards a completely different kind of place. A calm place, full of emotions, telling one of the strongest stories of World War II.
We’ll head to El Alamein, the historic site where one of North Africa’s most pivotal battles reshaped the course of World War II. With every step there, you’ll feel the greatness of history, the power of sacrifice, and the value of peace.
El Alamein Cemeteries and Museum
Our first stop today is the city of El Alamein, a bit south of Alexandria, but every step there holds weight and history. We’ll visit the war cemeteries that hold the remains of thousands of soldiers who gave their lives in World War II.
The atmosphere there carries a sense of awe and respect, and you’ll feel like time stopped at a certain moment.
You’ll walk among the rows of graves, made with such precision and honor, making every visitor pause and reflect on the peace we live in today.
After that, we’ll enter the El Alamein Museum, which holds rare photographs, old weapons, soldiers’ gear, and even real written stories about them.
If you love history, this place will transport you in a second to another time. And if you love photography, you’ll find powerful shots full of emotion—but remember to respect the sacredness of the place.
After visiting the museum and the cemeteries, we’ll take a very tasty break! We’ll have hot, fresh feteer meshaltet brought from Alexandria, made with love especially for us.
This layered pastry is one of the most famous Egyptian dishes, made of soft, flaky dough.
Everyone picks the flavor they love and eats while enjoying the open air and the different scenery of the road. It’s a sweet break to refill your energy before continuing to Cairo.
Returning to Cairo
Once we finish lunch, it’s time to hit the road again as we make our way back to vibrant Cairo. The ride may take around 4.5 hours, but it will pass quickly as you reflect on your meaningful day in El Alamein, sharing photos and stories with your travel buddies.
When we arrive in Cairo, your evening is free—whether you decide to take a walk or just relax at the hotel and unwind. Get ready for a new day and a new adventure!
Day 6: Marks the start of your Nile journey
Good morning! Today we’ll say goodbye to Cairo and fly to Luxor, the ancient capital of the pharaohs and the world’s greatest open-air museum!
After breakfast, we’ll head to Cairo Airport and board the flight that will take us to this magical and historical city.
Once we arrive, we’ll go directly to the Nile cruise boat, where we’ll spend the next four nights.
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind experience, offering the luxury of a five-star hotel, with a swimming pool, sundeck, restaurant, and panoramic cabins where you can watch the Nile flow quietly beside you.
Prepare yourself for a day full of exploration and relaxation – and this is just the beginning in Luxor!
Karnak Temple
Today, an amazing visit awaits you to Karnak Temple – the largest and most significant temple complex in ancient Egypt! Built over two centuries, this ancient temple holds secrets dating all the way back to 2055 BC — a true walk through history!
As you walk among the giant columns and carvings, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back thousands of years in time, and every step will tell you a story.
Your guide will explain everything, from the architecture to the art and inscriptions that tell the legends of ancient kings and queens.
If you love photography, you’ll find yourself constantly taking pictures from every stunning angle. This experience is not just about history – it touches your heart!
Turn every single day into a new adventure with our exciting and easy-to-customize tours3 Days in Cairo and Luxor.
Lunch
Lunch today is on the boat – and that means delicious Egyptian food while you enjoy views of the Nile! The atmosphere is calm, the service is excellent, and the taste makes the moment unforgettable.
Whether you eat inside the restaurant or outside on the deck, this experience will stay in your memory.
Visit to Animal Care in Egypt (ACE)
After the historical tour, we’ll visit a slightly different but very important place: the ACE organization, which provides free veterinary care to injured animals, especially working animals in the streets of Luxor and nearby areas.
You’ll see firsthand how caring the people there are for animals and learn a lot about how they treat them – from dental cleaning to treating broken bones! It’s a real chance to experience the human side of life in Egypt.
Dinner
As for dinner – it’s time for relaxation and romance under the Nile’s moonlight. You’ll find a variety of dishes that suit every taste, and the best part is that after dinner, you can sit on the deck with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the breeze and the sound of the water.
Day 7: From the Magic of Kings to a New Nile Adventure
Your morning is going to be different today! We're waking up early and getting ready for a day that will be one of the most magical and historically rich in the whole trip.
We'll start from the Valley of the Kings, the place where the secrets and power of the Pharaohs are buried underground.
We’ll live moments of amazement with everything we’ll see and hear there, and then we’ll go visit the incredible Temple of Hatshepsut and stand in front of the giant Colossi of Memnon.
All of this is right in the heart of Luxor, the ancient capital of Egypt.
After a full day packed with adventure, we’ll head back to the boat to relax and enjoy a calm lunch on the deck of the Nile, and then sail towards Edfu, which we’ll reach by the end of the day—getting ready for another magical day amidst a one-of-a-kind civilization.
Valley of the Kings
Imagine someone tells you that you’ll walk through the place where the Pharaohs themselves buried their kings—wouldn’t you be excited? Of course! And that’s exactly what we’ll experience together in the Valley of the Kings, the place hiding beneath its ground more than 60 tombs of ancient Egyptian kings and princes.
We’ll start our tour by visiting the tomb of King Tutankhamun, the young Pharaoh whose tomb became world-famous because of the treasures found inside in amazing condition.
We’ll go down into the tomb and see the sarcophagus ourselves, along with the walls full of stunning paintings that explain the journey of the dead to the afterlife.
After that, we’ll continue with visits to three more royal tombs, each one telling a different story, with artwork and colors that still preserve their beauty after thousands of years.
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
The Temple of Hatshepsut is not just a temple—it’s an inspiring story of one of the strongest women who ever ruled Egypt and proved herself in a world full of male kings.
The temple is built into the mountainside, and its design is a true architectural masterpiece, like you’re standing in front of a real-life painting.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the harmony between nature and the structure—everything is perfectly aligned. The wide staircases, painted columns, and statues of the queen wearing the Pharaoh's crown all make you feel just how powerful and visionary she was.
The guide will tell you about her life—how she started as a guardian for her stepson, and when she realized she could rule, she declared herself king. We’ll also learn about the trade expeditions she led, especially the famous journey to the land of Punt, which she recorded on the temple walls. This tour is not just about history—it’s a message that women, too, built civilizations.
Lunch on the Boat Deck
After we return to the boat, it’s time for lunch, which we’ll enjoy on the deck with the breeze and water all around you. The food is always fresh and varied—from authentic Egyptian dishes like stuffed vegetables and casseroles to international cuisine that suits all tastes.
Lunch is more than just a meal—it’s a chance to rest your legs, reflect on what you’ve seen, and recharge for the rest of the day. The service on the boat is excellent, and the staff always try to make you feel comfortable and happy.
You can also enjoy a tea or coffee afterward, relax and watch the small boats pass by, or even head down to your cabin to rest until we reach Edfu.
On your way back from the temple, you’ll stand before two gigantic statues, each nearly 18 meters tall! The Colossi of Memnon—or as they’re called, "the silent guardians"—have been waiting for you in Upper Egypt for thousands of years.
They were once part of a grand temple that vanished with time, but the two statues remained, as if they’re saying: "We’ve been here since the days of glory."
The guide will tell you about the legend of “the singing statue of Memnon,” which says that one of them used to make a sound every day at sunrise.
People from ancient times would come just to hear it. Many scholars said the sound was due to cracks caused by earthquakes, but people held on to the legend.
These towering statues are truly breathtaking — and what’s even more amazing is how the facial details have stood the test of time.
It’s a truly powerful moment to stand in front of them, take pictures, and feel like you’re in the presence of real legends.
Dinner in Edfu
We’ll reach Edfu at night, after a day full of history and awe—and here we welcome the evening with a warm and special dinner. The boat offers a full dinner, with hot soup, a delicious main course, and a light dessert to end the day.
If you like oriental food, you’ll find options like shish tawook, moussaka, and molokhia. And if you prefer international dishes, there’s pasta, grilled meats, and assorted salads.
After dinner, you can go up to the deck, gaze at the stars, and get ready for a new day full of even more adventures.
Day 8: Imagine wandering through ancient temples by day
A new morning we’re living while still on our beautiful boat in the middle of Upper Egypt’s Nile. Today we’ll wake up while docked near the city of Edfu, and you’ll have the chance to go down and walk around the city if you like, or just sit back and enjoy the sun and calm on the deck.
After that, we’ll continue our journey on the Nile, passing by stunning scenery between desert and greenery on the riverbanks, until we reach the amazing Kom Ombo Temple, which is built right on the edge of the river as if you’re standing in a real ancient panorama.
By the end of the day, we’ll arrive at lovely Aswan, just like that, after a long day full of magic and history. Let’s begin the day’s details together...
Kom Ombo Temple: Two Stories in One Temple
This place is unlike any temple you’ll visit because it brings together two totally different gods! As soon as you arrive, you’ll see the temple standing tall on the Nile’s edge, as if it’s been watching the water for thousands of years.
The temple was built in 181 BC, and it was dedicated to the god “Horus,” the symbol of protection, and “Sobek,” the god of fertility, who was compared to crocodiles.
Each god has his own half of the temple – north and south – and every corner is full of details telling stories about the beliefs and life of ancient Egyptians.
One of the most fascinating things you’ll see is the Crocodile Museum, where they found real mummified crocodiles buried near Sobek’s part of the temple – a sign of how much they respected nature and linked it to religion.
As you walk through, your guide will tell you stories about the rituals that used to happen here, and you’ll see carvings and drawings still in their original colors!
From Edfu to Aswan: Relaxation and Calm on the Nile
After finishing the Kom Ombo visit, we return to the boat and continue sailing towards Aswan.
This part of the day is where you’ll enjoy every moment of peace, sitting on the deck, surrounded by water, sky, and fresh air.
You’ll see green riverbanks, palm trees swaying in the breeze, as if nature itself is joining you in the moment.
If you have a book, a cup of tea, or even if you just want to sit silently, the place and the mood are just perfect. These are the moments that make you think and say: “Yeah, now I’m really living the trip.”
You’ll reach Aswan by the end of the day – the city of warmth and peace – ready for a new day full of adventures, God willing.
Surrounded by peace and a view that whets the appetite, we’ll gather on the deck for a soul-refreshing lunch you won’t forget! The food here isn’t ordinary – always fresh, and tastes just like homemade meals.
The menu is varied – you’ll find things like okra tagine, stuffed vine leaves, molokhia, and even international dishes like pasta or grilled chicken. So whatever your taste is, you’ll find something you like.
Dinner in Aswan
We arrive in Aswan at night, all filled with sights and history, but hunger still has its say! Dinner will be on the boat in a calm and cozy atmosphere – soft lights, the sound of water around you, like you’re in a quiet movie with a happy ending.
The food? Absolutely delicious. A hot soup to loosen your muscles, a main dish that opens your appetite – maybe chicken skewers, eggplant stew, or pasta – with a salad you’ll love. And for dessert? A warm piece of kunafa or creamy mahalabia that takes you out of this world.
After dinner, if you feel like going up to the deck to watch the stars or have a cup of tea, then you’ve ended the day the right way.
Sleep early, because tomorrow, new adventures are waiting in the bride of the south.
Day 9: The Magic of Philae and a Tour in the Heart of Aswan
Today is completely different. We’ll start it with a visit to one of the most magical places that has a very special atmosphere in Aswan… Agilkia Island, where the great Philae Temple is located.
After that, we’ll take you on a walking tour in the heart of the city, among markets, scents, and colors, so you can truly experience the spirit of Aswan.
Your day will end while you're on the boat, with the water surrounding you, singing you to a peaceful sleep.
Philae Temple: Island of Magic and Gods
Our first stop in the morning will be on Agilkia Island, and there you’ll find the Philae Temple, which was completely moved from its original location after the water almost drowned it, and it was saved in one of the greatest archaeological relocation operations in the world.
This temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis, the symbol of love and loyalty for the ancient Egyptians, and the whole place has a unique energy.
While you're there, you’ll feel like you're in a real historical movie. The drawings on the walls still have visible colors, and the decorations and inscriptions tell stories of love, wars, and gods.
Some believe that Philae was the last place where the ancient Egyptian religion was practiced, and also where the last hieroglyph was written.
Walking Tour in Aswan: Among Spices and Nubia
After we return from Philae Temple, we’ll go down for a walk in the beautiful streets of Aswan and start our tour in the famous local market "Sharia el Souk" or "Sharya el Souq" as locals call it.
There, you’ll live a true experience among kind and simple people selling everything you can imagine, from spices, dates, and galabeyas to handmade Nubian crafts that will steal your heart at first sight.
The smell in the market is very distinctive – between hibiscus, cardamom, and cumin – and you might try to buy nice gifts like embroidered tablecloths or wooden handmade pieces that you won’t find anywhere else but in Aswan.
People there love visitors and are always smiling and happy to talk about their city. Let our Luxor and Aswan Nile Cruisetake you deep into the wonders of southern Egypt — where every stop tells a story.
Lunch on the Boat
After the tour, we’ll return to the boat to have lunch in this beautiful weather.
Today’s lunch will be diverse as usual, and includes authentic Egyptian food like casseroles, stuffed vegetables, and chicken with rice, along with fresh salads and warm bread.
Dinner
After a day full of beauty and history, you’ll find yourself needing a warm and delicious meal, and that’s exactly what you’ll find on our dinner table at night.
Dinner will be simple but very tasty – starting with hot soup, followed by a main dish that could be meat with sauce or grilled fish, with rice and salad.
And at the end, dessert will be something to end the day with – like rice pudding with nuts or a soft piece of basbousa.
Day 10: Set off on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to Abu Simbel
Today will be one of the unforgettable days of the trip! We’re heading to one of the greatest Pharaonic temples in Egypt, Abu Simbel.
But this time, no rushing… we’ll spend the night there and live each moment calmly, admire the grand temples, and enjoy the breathtaking view of Lake Nasser.
And there’s also a lovely surprise in the evening… the sound and light show among the giant statues!
Breakfast: A Calm Start to the Day
As soon as you wake up, a lovely Egyptian breakfast will be waiting for you at a hotel overlooking Lake Nasser… you might find fava beans, falafel, and cheese salad, or you can go for lighter options like yogurt with honey and fruit – all while sitting on a refreshing terrace.
Abu Simbel Temple
As soon as we arrive at Abu Simbel, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a huge historical movie.
The temples are carved into the mountain, and the gigantic statues of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari stand as if they’re still guarding the place for thousands of years! These statues reach up to 20 meters high, and every detail in them tells of the power and majesty of the Pharaohs.
Your tour leader will be with you and will explain everything about the temples – from their history, to why they were built, all the way to the amazing rescue mission when they were saved from flooding after the construction of the High Dam – moved block by block and rebuilt at this new location.
You’ll enter the temples and see the engravings and drawings that still preserve their colors, and you’ll learn about Ramses II’s victories and battles.
The area around you is peaceful, and the view over Lake Nasser is heartwarming… it’s a perfect place to contemplate a civilization that continues to amaze the world.
After sunset, we’ll return to the temples, but this time not to visit… we’re going to experience the sound and light show, which tells the stories of kings and ancient tales with dramatic narration and magical lighting that makes the statues seem like they’re moving and speaking themselves.
You’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time, and the mountains have turned into a giant theater, with every stone telling a story. This show truly leaves a big impression on your heart, especially in such a magical and legendary setting.
Dinner: A Warm Evening by Lake Nasser
After a day full of wonder from the place and history, you’ll definitely be craving a warm meal to end the day. Dinner will be served at the hotel – usually including delicious traditional dishes like fatta with meat or grilled chicken, along with hot soup and salad, and of course, there must be something sweet at the end… like Om Ali or warm kunafa.
While you’re having dinner, look around you… the atmosphere is calm, the stars are above, and Lake Nasser is right in front of you… a moment of a lifetime!
Meals: Breakfast and Dinner Accommodation: Seti, Resort or similar (1 night)
Day 11: Relaxation and Reflection in Aswan and Its Historic Charm
Today you will return again to Aswan, arriving before lunch so you can take your time. You will have the opportunity to enjoy calm and relaxation at the hotel, or if you like, go out and discover more of the city’s beauty.
In the afternoon, we will gather together and take a journey back in time at a special place.
Old Cataract Hotel: Afternoon Tea Amidst the Fragrance of History
The Old Cataract Hotel is not just a place to stay; it is living history in the heart of Aswan.
It was built in 1899 by Thomas Cook, and it has hosted famous personalities such as Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, and Agatha Christie, who wrote her famous novel Death on the Nile here.
You will sit in an elegant atmosphere as if you are in a story from the beautiful past, enjoying small trays of light snacks along with a selection of teas that will give you a feeling of luxury and sophistication.
The hotel is surrounded by beautiful gardens, and its windows overlook the Nile—a breathtaking view that makes you feel calm and peaceful amidst the stunning nature.
Free Time and Dinner of Your Choice
After a day full of relaxation and historical spirit, you will have the freedom to choose a dinner place that suits you.
Whether you want to try local restaurants serving authentic Nubian food or a quiet, beautiful spot, your trip leader is ready to help with recommendations for all tastes.
Optional Activities in Aswan
If you want to enrich your trip with more experiences, you can visit the Nubian Museum, which tells the history and culture of beautiful Nubia.
The museum is full of archaeological artifacts and sculptures that reflect a long and ancient civilization, and it will immerse you in a completely different world away from the crowds.
This is a great opportunity if you want to learn more deeply about another side of Aswan and discover the traditions of the people who lived here for many years.
Day 12: Exploring Aswan Between Historical Charm and Nubian Spirit
Today we’ll start our day with a visit to an important modern Egyptian engineering landmark, then we’ll dive into the secrets of the past that still speak volumes about Egypt’s ancient civilization.
After that, we’ll spend a lovely time on the Nile shores during a magical sunset, followed by a traditional dinner that will take you right into the heart of authentic Nubian life.
The High Dam in Aswan
The High Dam is one of the largest engineering projects in Egypt, located about 13 km south of Aswan. It’s not just a dam—it’s a long story of challenges and history that had a huge impact on the entire region.
When the dam was built, many ancient temples and statues had to be relocated to prevent the rising waters from flooding them, and that created a historic shift in preserving Egyptian heritage.
Visiting the dam doesn’t just show you a massive and impressive structure—it helps you understand how Egypt managed to control the Nile and provide water and electricity to the whole country.
The place is wide open with stunning views that make you feel the power of human achievement.
The Unfinished Obelisk
After the dam, you’ll head to a different and slightly mysterious place: the Unfinished Obelisk.
This would’ve been the largest obelisk in ancient Egypt if it had been completed, but unfortunately, work on it was abandoned halfway.
When you stand before the obelisk, you’ll feel the greatness of the pharaohs in planning and engineering, and we’ll see how those grand ideas were actually being brought to life.
The site is full of stories and secrets, and standing in front of that massive stone makes you truly feel the greatness of ancient Egyptian civilization and its lasting presence.
Elephantine Island and the Felucca Ride
After a short break in Aswan, we’ll spend the afternoon on a different kind of journey along the Nile.
We’ll ride a traditional felucca and sail to Elephantine Island—the island once believed to be the home of the god Khnum, guardian and controller of the Nile’s waters.
You’ll walk around and observe local life, in a calm and beautiful natural setting. And here begins the real beauty of the journey—with sunset drinks on the felucca. The view is indescribable, and the feeling stays with you for a long time.
Traditional Nubian Dinner
After the magical sunset, we’ll disembark at a small Nubian village where we’ll enjoy a traditional dinner with a local family.
You’ll try authentic Nubian dishes that will make you feel the warmth and hospitality Nubians are famous for. Beyond the food, you’ll hear stories and tales from the local people and learn about their simple and beautiful way of life.
Meal: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 13: An Adventure in the Heart of Islamic Cairo
Today, we say goodbye to Aswan and take a flight back to Cairo – the capital that always surprises us with its history and soul. We'll rest a bit at the hotel after arrival, and then we’ll begin a different kind of tour, one that’s not just about monuments, but full of life and the spirit of the locals.
We’ll visit places that combine shopping, heritage, religion, and art, and we’ll end the day with the most beautiful moments with an Egyptian family offering a homemade dinner straight from the heart.
Khan El Khalili
Khan El Khalili is the oldest and most famous market in Egypt, and the place where you can truly feel the spirit of Cairo.
The market has been around since the 14th century and is made up of narrow alleys full of shops selling everything you can imagine – from brass lanterns, handmade crafts, and leather, to silver, oriental perfumes, and colorful, aromatic spices that awaken your senses.
While walking through the alleys, you'll see craftsmen working with their hands and shop owners calling out to customers in a uniquely Egyptian cheerful way.
If you love photography, every corner here could be a painting. After wandering around, you'll stop at El Fishawy Cafe – the oldest café in Cairo – which has been welcoming guests for 250 years.
Ibn Tulun Mosque
Step into one of Cairo’s timeless landmarks — a mosque that’s stood tall since 879 AD, echoing over 1100 years of history and faith.
As you enter through its gate, you’ll immediately feel awe and serenity, and you’ll marvel at the vast interior space, the high arches, and the massive columns supporting the large roof.
Everything in this place is designed with brilliant engineering, and the most beautiful part is the spiral minaret, which you can climb for an incredible panoramic view of Old Cairo.
The mosque isn’t just a place for prayer – it’s an architectural masterpiece representing the Tulunid era. It features rare architectural details like gypsum decorations and old wooden doors.
The place is quiet and beautiful, offering you a window into an important Islamic era in Egypt’s history. It's perfect for anyone who wants to escape the city’s hustle and experience a moment of spiritual peace.
Gayer-Anderson Museum
This museum is made up of two historical houses connected together, forming a rich museum full of strange and unique artifacts. The house itself is an architectural gem, but once you step inside, you’ll be even more amazed than you imagined.
The rooms are designed in Ottoman, Moroccan, Persian, and even Indian styles, each decorated with the highest level of taste – from the ornate ceilings, carved doors, to rare furniture.
You’ll find collections like ancient weapons, books and manuscripts, oriental carpets, and rare art pieces. Gayer-Anderson, who lived in this house, was a British officer who loved Egypt so much he decided to live there and collect every artifact he could..
Lunch? Real Authentic Koshary!
After a day full of walking and sightseeing, we need a proper food stop – and nothing hits the spot like Egypt’s most beloved street food: Koshary! We’ll head to a famous, long-standing koshary place and order a big bowl packed with all the good stuff: lentils, pasta, rice, chickpeas, crispy onions, and incredible sauces like tomato sauce, garlic vinegar, and chili.
Just the smell will make your mouth water! What’s even better is that this dish is simple yet super filling, and its flavor takes you back to the good old days when everything was handmade with love by an Egyptian housewife.
Try it your own way – add as much chili as you want – but be careful… eating koshary in Egypt comes with its own special rituals you’ll want to enjoy to the fullest!
Dinner with Locals
Tonight is something totally different. Instead of heading to a restaurant, we’re going to an Egyptian family’s home.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel like you're with your own relatives. They’ll greet you warmly and invite you to a table full of the most delicious home-cooked dishes: molokhia, mahshi, potato casserole, grilled chicken, vermicelli rice, and fresh Egyptian salad made with love.
And that’s not all – we’ll talk with them about their lives, work, memories, and learn about Egyptian cooking straight from the kitchen.
They might even teach us a recipe or a secret spice mix! This dinner isn’t just about food – it’s a human moment that will stay with you forever and one you’ll never forget.
Day 14: An Extraordinary Desert Trip in Whale Valley and Fayoum
Our day today will start a bit early, but trust me, it’s worth it! We’ll leave the hustle and bustle of Cairo and head to Fayoum — a place completely different from what we’ve seen before.
We’ll spend an unforgettable day in the heart of nature, between waterfalls, lakes, and history drawn in the desert sands.
We’ll discover one of the strangest and most important geological areas in the world and learn the secrets of whales that lived here millions of years ago!
Wadi El Rayan: Egypt’s Only Waterfall!
Our first stop will be Wadi El Rayan, a stunning natural protectorate that connects two large lakes through waterfalls — and these are the only natural waterfalls in Egypt!
The view there is breathtaking, and it’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves photography or wants to enjoy a moment of peace in the heart of nature.
We’ll walk around the lakes, watch the birds that live in the area, and if you're lucky, you might spot some wild animals from afar.
The valley is also known for its golden sands and strange rock formations, and you’ll feel like you’re on another planet.
The atmosphere is clean, the air is fresh, and there’s a feeling of freedom as if you’ve disconnected from the noise and chaos. If you love relaxing, just sit on a rock by the water, take a deep breath... that moment will stay with you.
Whale Valley: Secrets of the Whales That Used to Walk on Land!
After finishing our tour in Wadi El Rayan, we’ll hop into a 4WD vehicle and head to a place that’s truly world-class: Wadi Al-Hitan, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Imagine walking in a desert, but beneath your feet are the fossil remains of whales that lived here 40 million years ago!
In Whale Valley, we’ll learn one of the strangest stories in the planet’s history... how whales, which we now see living in the sea, once lived on land!
We’ll see rare fossils, including the fully intact skeleton of the largest whale called Basilosaurus isis – and this one doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world!
After that, we’ll visit the Fossil and Climate Change Museum at the site. It’s a modern and engaging museum that displays these rare fossils and explains in a simple way the evolution of creatures and the climate changes over the years.
Having your lunch surrounded by golden sands!
After our long tour, we’ve got to stop and take a proper break! But today’s lunch isn’t ordinary... it’s a real desert meal, served in the middle of the sand and mountains, with an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in an adventure movie.
We’ll all sit together on a traditional mat, and the dishes will start coming one after the other: seasoned rice, grilled meat or chicken on coal, fresh green salad, local bread, and delicious tahini. And the best part? The Bedouin tea made on charcoal... its taste is something else!
This meal isn’t just about food, it’s a moment of warmth, laughter, and stories with your friends surrounded by the silence and beauty of the desert, and the unforgettable smell of nature.
Get your camera ready... because this moment will stay in your memory forever!
Day 15: Farewell Day... but the memories stay with you
Today is the last day of our trip, and it might be a farewell day, but it's definitely not a farewell to the beautiful memories we lived together.
After breakfast, each one of us will start packing and recalling the moments that passed quickly — between places we saw for the first time, laughter, photos, new foods, and experiences we’ll never forget.
If you’d like to continue your journey and explore more in Cairo, all you have to do is speak to the booking agent, and they’ll arrange everything for you!
A farewell breakfast—one last peaceful morning flavored with memories.
Before we say goodbye, we’ll all sit together for breakfast — a simple meal, but it tastes different today. Not because of the food, but because of the company… everyone around you has now become a memory in your heart, whether it's a laugh, a photo, or a story.

Overnight:Cairo Hotel
Let’s start a new day in the heart of Cairo, but this time we’re gonna meet ancient Egyptian civilization face to face. Your day will start with breakfast at the hotel, then we’ll head to the Pyramids of Giza – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – and just standing in front of them makes you feel greatness and history.
Then we’ll continue the tour to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, where you’ll find everything you could imagine about the ancient Egyptian kings. This is a day full of amazement, photos, knowledge, and laughter with your trip buddies. Get ready for a day you’ll never forget!
The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx
The moment you arrive at the pyramids area, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a history book – but this time, you’re touching it with your hands! In front of you are three huge pyramids: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.
What really catches the eye is Khufu’s Pyramid – the biggest of them all – and it’s more than 4500 years old. If you want, you can go inside it (with an extra ticket) and discover the narrow rooms they used to prepare for the king’s eternal rest.
After the pyramids tour, we’ll meet the Sphinx statue – and it really is a mystery! With a human face and a lion’s body, it’s been standing in place for thousands of years as if guarding the tombs.
The place is open and wide, and gives you a different view of Cairo – especially if it’s sunny, the photos will turn out amazing! You’ll hear stories from the guide about how the pyramids were built, who worked on them, and how the Pharaohs left the world in awe to this very day.
After diving into the world of the pyramids, we’ll go to another place that’s no less amazing: the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. The moment you enter, you’ll find yourself surrounded by over 120,000 artifacts!
From ancient statues and preserved mummies to everyday tools, dazzling jewelry, and even the food Egyptians packed for the next world — every item tells a piece of their story.
The most important stop inside the museum is the Tutankhamun section – the young king whose tomb was found almost intact. His golden mask is dazzling, like a piece of art made by angels!
You’ll also see his gilded sarcophagus and the tiny statues they believed would protect him. The guide will explain every detail – from the mummification process to the Egyptians’ beliefs about the afterlife.
The place is full of details – every hall tells the story of a different era in Egypt, and every statue has a tale. If you love photography, you’ll find amazing angles, but be careful because some halls don’t allow photos.
The museum is an educational and cultural experience, and at the same time, it’s really fun – especially when you share the moment with your trip friends and laugh at every new discovery.
So after an exciting walk through thousands of years inside the museum, it’s time to take a deep breath, relax, and maybe grab a bite or chill with your travel buddies. Because tomorrow… get ready for a brand new adventure! We’re hitting the road to Alexandria.
A new morning starts on the road in a trip from Cairo to Alexandria, but before we arrive, we'll pass by one of the calmest and most spiritual places in Egypt: Wadi El Natron.
A place where monks once hid long ago and found safe refuge from persecution. After that, we’ll continue toward the Bride of the Mediterranean, the city founded by Alexander the Great, which still keeps its old European spirit with a genuine Egyptian flavor.
Get ready for a day filled with spirituality, calmness, ancient history, and at the same time, a sea breeze and stunning architecture in Alexandria.
Wadi El Natron
Wadi El Natron is a totally different place than anything you've seen before.
The journey feels like a gentle escape — a road wrapped in stillness, leading you into a world untouched by time. Once you arrive, the guide will tell you the story of the place and how it became a refuge for Christians after Saint Macarius the Great chose to live here alone back in 360 AD.
There were once more than 60 monasteries in the valley, but now only 4 remain. The quietness there makes you hear your own thoughts. You’ll see monks living their day in simplicity and spirituality.
You’ll walk through the garden inside the monastery, with palm trees and greenery in the middle of the desert, and from afar, you’ll glimpse the beautiful church with its tall towers and the desert stretching all around.
Anba Bishoy Monastery
After visiting Wadi El Natron, we’ll stop at one of the most important remaining monasteries: Anba Bishoy Monastery. This monastery is dedicated to Saint Bishoy, who chose a life of solitude and deep faith, away from the distractions of the world.
As soon as you enter through the monastery gate, you’ll feel peace. The monks there are very simple, always smiling, and living a life full of calm and worship.
You’ll walk around the garden carefully cared for, see monks working in farming or praying, and everything around you says "simplicity."
You'll also go inside the church within the monastery, where you’ll find icons painted by talented artists, and you can truly feel the spirit of the place.
From the top of the church, you can see the desert stretching as far as the eye can see – giving you a deep sense of the spiritual isolation the saints once sought.
After the spiritual visit, we’ll get back on the road and continue our way to Alexandria. The trip takes about 4 hours from Cairo, but once you arrive and feel the sea breeze, all the tiredness melts away.
This city is a mix of ancient history and classic European style. The houses, the streets, the Corniche – every little detail tells a story.
We’ll arrive at the hotel, and it’s time for you to rest a bit and get ready for a new day tomorrow full of stunning spots like Qaitbay Citadel and the world-famous Library. But today marks the start of your relaxation, the sea, and deep breaths.
Today, we’ll wake up to a totally different kind of day! Welcome to Alexandria — where the sea meets centuries of history, and every breeze carries a sense of peace.
Your day will start with a light breakfast, then we’ll begin discovering the city’s secrets with our guide, who’ll share fun stories at every stop.
From ancient underground tombs to the library that gathers world cultures, all the way to the fortress that once protected the city from enemies… and all of this with Alexandria’s breezy air all day long!
Breakfast
Your morning will start with a delicious breakfast at the hotel – simple and light, just right to get you ready for a day full of adventures.
Whether you prefer to start your day with a cup of tea or a quick coffee, with some pastries or traditional bread – everything is available. Take your time and enjoy the morning vibes while getting ready for a day full of Alexandria’s charm.
Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa
Our first stop today is one of the strangest and most beautiful surprises buried underground: the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa.
Just imagine going down a spiral staircase that takes you to a whole other world! These tombs go back to the Roman era and were discovered by accident in 1900 when a donkey was walking and suddenly fell into a hole – and that hole turned out to be a great archaeological discovery!
What’s strange about this place is that it mixes 3 cultures: Roman, Greek, and Egyptian.
You’ll see statues in Egyptian style wearing Roman clothes, and strange drawings that you won’t find anywhere else. The place feels heavy, but magical – like you just stepped into a historical movie.
If you love photography, you’ll find amazing angles, but be careful because the lighting is low.
Bibliotheca Alexandrina
After that, we’ll head to a place that represents knowledge, light, and culture: the new Library of Alexandria. This library is built on the site of the ancient Library of Ptolemy that burned down more than 1700 years ago.
The moment you arrive, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a space station – the architecture is so modern and unique. The outer walls are full of stone and inscriptions from all the world’s languages!
Inside, you’ll find huge halls filled with millions of books, art exhibitions, small museums, and even a space dome.
If you love quiet and studying – or just want to wander among the books – this place is a paradise. And if you have kids or enjoy interactive places, you’ll find fun sections too.
Fort Qaitbay
We’ll wrap up today’s journey at Fort Qaitbay, a legendary seaside fortress that once stood as a powerful guardian of the Mediterranean coast. Standing proud since the 14th century, this fort was raised over the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria — once a marvel of the ancient world.
Once you arrive, you’ll see the sea surrounding you from every direction, and you’ll enter a huge stone building with a very special historic feel.
Inside the fort, you’ll walk between towers and strong walls, and you can go up to the rooftops to see a panoramic view of the sea and the Corniche. The place is perfect for photos, especially at sunset.
Meals:Breakfast
Overnight:Alexandria Hotel
Today, we’ll say goodbye to beautiful Alexandria and head towards a completely different kind of place. A calm place, full of emotions, telling one of the strongest stories of World War II.
We’ll head to El Alamein, the historic site where one of North Africa’s most pivotal battles reshaped the course of World War II. With every step there, you’ll feel the greatness of history, the power of sacrifice, and the value of peace.
El Alamein Cemeteries and Museum
Our first stop today is the city of El Alamein, a bit south of Alexandria, but every step there holds weight and history. We’ll visit the war cemeteries that hold the remains of thousands of soldiers who gave their lives in World War II.
The atmosphere there carries a sense of awe and respect, and you’ll feel like time stopped at a certain moment.
You’ll walk among the rows of graves, made with such precision and honor, making every visitor pause and reflect on the peace we live in today.
After that, we’ll enter the El Alamein Museum, which holds rare photographs, old weapons, soldiers’ gear, and even real written stories about them.
If you love history, this place will transport you in a second to another time. And if you love photography, you’ll find powerful shots full of emotion—but remember to respect the sacredness of the place.
After visiting the museum and the cemeteries, we’ll take a very tasty break! We’ll have hot, fresh feteer meshaltet brought from Alexandria, made with love especially for us.
This layered pastry is one of the most famous Egyptian dishes, made of soft, flaky dough.
Everyone picks the flavor they love and eats while enjoying the open air and the different scenery of the road. It’s a sweet break to refill your energy before continuing to Cairo.
Returning to Cairo
Once we finish lunch, it’s time to hit the road again as we make our way back to vibrant Cairo. The ride may take around 4.5 hours, but it will pass quickly as you reflect on your meaningful day in El Alamein, sharing photos and stories with your travel buddies.
When we arrive in Cairo, your evening is free—whether you decide to take a walk or just relax at the hotel and unwind. Get ready for a new day and a new adventure!
Meals:Breakfast Lunch
Overnight:Cairo Hotel
Good morning! Today we’ll say goodbye to Cairo and fly to Luxor, the ancient capital of the pharaohs and the world’s greatest open-air museum!
After breakfast, we’ll head to Cairo Airport and board the flight that will take us to this magical and historical city.
Once we arrive, we’ll go directly to the Nile cruise boat, where we’ll spend the next four nights.
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind experience, offering the luxury of a five-star hotel, with a swimming pool, sundeck, restaurant, and panoramic cabins where you can watch the Nile flow quietly beside you.
Prepare yourself for a day full of exploration and relaxation – and this is just the beginning in Luxor!
Karnak Temple
Today, an amazing visit awaits you to Karnak Temple – the largest and most significant temple complex in ancient Egypt! Built over two centuries, this ancient temple holds secrets dating all the way back to 2055 BC — a true walk through history!
As you walk among the giant columns and carvings, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back thousands of years in time, and every step will tell you a story.
Your guide will explain everything, from the architecture to the art and inscriptions that tell the legends of ancient kings and queens.
If you love photography, you’ll find yourself constantly taking pictures from every stunning angle. This experience is not just about history – it touches your heart!

Lunch today is on the boat – and that means delicious Egyptian food while you enjoy views of the Nile! The atmosphere is calm, the service is excellent, and the taste makes the moment unforgettable.
Whether you eat inside the restaurant or outside on the deck, this experience will stay in your memory.
Visit to Animal Care in Egypt (ACE)
After the historical tour, we’ll visit a slightly different but very important place: the ACE organization, which provides free veterinary care to injured animals, especially working animals in the streets of Luxor and nearby areas.
You’ll see firsthand how caring the people there are for animals and learn a lot about how they treat them – from dental cleaning to treating broken bones! It’s a real chance to experience the human side of life in Egypt.
Dinner
As for dinner – it’s time for relaxation and romance under the Nile’s moonlight. You’ll find a variety of dishes that suit every taste, and the best part is that after dinner, you can sit on the deck with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the breeze and the sound of the water.
Meals:Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner
Flight:Cairo to Luxor
Overnight:Nile cruise
Your morning is going to be different today! We're waking up early and getting ready for a day that will be one of the most magical and historically rich in the whole trip.
We'll start from the Valley of the Kings, the place where the secrets and power of the Pharaohs are buried underground.
We’ll live moments of amazement with everything we’ll see and hear there, and then we’ll go visit the incredible Temple of Hatshepsut and stand in front of the giant Colossi of Memnon.
All of this is right in the heart of Luxor, the ancient capital of Egypt.
After a full day packed with adventure, we’ll head back to the boat to relax and enjoy a calm lunch on the deck of the Nile, and then sail towards Edfu, which we’ll reach by the end of the day—getting ready for another magical day amidst a one-of-a-kind civilization.
Valley of the Kings
Imagine someone tells you that you’ll walk through the place where the Pharaohs themselves buried their kings—wouldn’t you be excited? Of course! And that’s exactly what we’ll experience together in the Valley of the Kings, the place hiding beneath its ground more than 60 tombs of ancient Egyptian kings and princes.
We’ll start our tour by visiting the tomb of King Tutankhamun, the young Pharaoh whose tomb became world-famous because of the treasures found inside in amazing condition.
We’ll go down into the tomb and see the sarcophagus ourselves, along with the walls full of stunning paintings that explain the journey of the dead to the afterlife.
After that, we’ll continue with visits to three more royal tombs, each one telling a different story, with artwork and colors that still preserve their beauty after thousands of years.
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
The Temple of Hatshepsut is not just a temple—it’s an inspiring story of one of the strongest women who ever ruled Egypt and proved herself in a world full of male kings.
The temple is built into the mountainside, and its design is a true architectural masterpiece, like you’re standing in front of a real-life painting.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the harmony between nature and the structure—everything is perfectly aligned. The wide staircases, painted columns, and statues of the queen wearing the Pharaoh's crown all make you feel just how powerful and visionary she was.
The guide will tell you about her life—how she started as a guardian for her stepson, and when she realized she could rule, she declared herself king. We’ll also learn about the trade expeditions she led, especially the famous journey to the land of Punt, which she recorded on the temple walls. This tour is not just about history—it’s a message that women, too, built civilizations.
Lunch on the Boat Deck
After we return to the boat, it’s time for lunch, which we’ll enjoy on the deck with the breeze and water all around you. The food is always fresh and varied—from authentic Egyptian dishes like stuffed vegetables and casseroles to international cuisine that suits all tastes.
Lunch is more than just a meal—it’s a chance to rest your legs, reflect on what you’ve seen, and recharge for the rest of the day. The service on the boat is excellent, and the staff always try to make you feel comfortable and happy.
You can also enjoy a tea or coffee afterward, relax and watch the small boats pass by, or even head down to your cabin to rest until we reach Edfu.
On your way back from the temple, you’ll stand before two gigantic statues, each nearly 18 meters tall! The Colossi of Memnon—or as they’re called, "the silent guardians"—have been waiting for you in Upper Egypt for thousands of years.
They were once part of a grand temple that vanished with time, but the two statues remained, as if they’re saying: "We’ve been here since the days of glory."
The guide will tell you about the legend of “the singing statue of Memnon,” which says that one of them used to make a sound every day at sunrise.
People from ancient times would come just to hear it. Many scholars said the sound was due to cracks caused by earthquakes, but people held on to the legend.
These towering statues are truly breathtaking — and what’s even more amazing is how the facial details have stood the test of time.
It’s a truly powerful moment to stand in front of them, take pictures, and feel like you’re in the presence of real legends.
Dinner in Edfu
We’ll reach Edfu at night, after a day full of history and awe—and here we welcome the evening with a warm and special dinner. The boat offers a full dinner, with hot soup, a delicious main course, and a light dessert to end the day.
If you like oriental food, you’ll find options like shish tawook, moussaka, and molokhia. And if you prefer international dishes, there’s pasta, grilled meats, and assorted salads.
After dinner, you can go up to the deck, gaze at the stars, and get ready for a new day full of even more adventures.
Meals:Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner
Overnight:Nile cruise
A new morning we’re living while still on our beautiful boat in the middle of Upper Egypt’s Nile. Today we’ll wake up while docked near the city of Edfu, and you’ll have the chance to go down and walk around the city if you like, or just sit back and enjoy the sun and calm on the deck.
After that, we’ll continue our journey on the Nile, passing by stunning scenery between desert and greenery on the riverbanks, until we reach the amazing Kom Ombo Temple, which is built right on the edge of the river as if you’re standing in a real ancient panorama.
By the end of the day, we’ll arrive at lovely Aswan, just like that, after a long day full of magic and history. Let’s begin the day’s details together...
Kom Ombo Temple: Two Stories in One Temple
This place is unlike any temple you’ll visit because it brings together two totally different gods! As soon as you arrive, you’ll see the temple standing tall on the Nile’s edge, as if it’s been watching the water for thousands of years.
The temple was built in 181 BC, and it was dedicated to the god “Horus,” the symbol of protection, and “Sobek,” the god of fertility, who was compared to crocodiles.
Each god has his own half of the temple – north and south – and every corner is full of details telling stories about the beliefs and life of ancient Egyptians.
One of the most fascinating things you’ll see is the Crocodile Museum, where they found real mummified crocodiles buried near Sobek’s part of the temple – a sign of how much they respected nature and linked it to religion.
As you walk through, your guide will tell you stories about the rituals that used to happen here, and you’ll see carvings and drawings still in their original colors!
From Edfu to Aswan: Relaxation and Calm on the Nile
After finishing the Kom Ombo visit, we return to the boat and continue sailing towards Aswan.
This part of the day is where you’ll enjoy every moment of peace, sitting on the deck, surrounded by water, sky, and fresh air.
You’ll see green riverbanks, palm trees swaying in the breeze, as if nature itself is joining you in the moment.
If you have a book, a cup of tea, or even if you just want to sit silently, the place and the mood are just perfect. These are the moments that make you think and say: “Yeah, now I’m really living the trip.”
You’ll reach Aswan by the end of the day – the city of warmth and peace – ready for a new day full of adventures, God willing.
Surrounded by peace and a view that whets the appetite, we’ll gather on the deck for a soul-refreshing lunch you won’t forget! The food here isn’t ordinary – always fresh, and tastes just like homemade meals.
The menu is varied – you’ll find things like okra tagine, stuffed vine leaves, molokhia, and even international dishes like pasta or grilled chicken. So whatever your taste is, you’ll find something you like.
Dinner in Aswan
We arrive in Aswan at night, all filled with sights and history, but hunger still has its say! Dinner will be on the boat in a calm and cozy atmosphere – soft lights, the sound of water around you, like you’re in a quiet movie with a happy ending.
The food? Absolutely delicious. A hot soup to loosen your muscles, a main dish that opens your appetite – maybe chicken skewers, eggplant stew, or pasta – with a salad you’ll love. And for dessert? A warm piece of kunafa or creamy mahalabia that takes you out of this world.
After dinner, if you feel like going up to the deck to watch the stars or have a cup of tea, then you’ve ended the day the right way.
Sleep early, because tomorrow, new adventures are waiting in the bride of the south.
Meals:Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner
Overnight:Nile cruise
Today is completely different. We’ll start it with a visit to one of the most magical places that has a very special atmosphere in Aswan… Agilkia Island, where the great Philae Temple is located.
After that, we’ll take you on a walking tour in the heart of the city, among markets, scents, and colors, so you can truly experience the spirit of Aswan.
Your day will end while you're on the boat, with the water surrounding you, singing you to a peaceful sleep.
Philae Temple: Island of Magic and Gods
Our first stop in the morning will be on Agilkia Island, and there you’ll find the Philae Temple, which was completely moved from its original location after the water almost drowned it, and it was saved in one of the greatest archaeological relocation operations in the world.
This temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis, the symbol of love and loyalty for the ancient Egyptians, and the whole place has a unique energy.
While you're there, you’ll feel like you're in a real historical movie. The drawings on the walls still have visible colors, and the decorations and inscriptions tell stories of love, wars, and gods.
Some believe that Philae was the last place where the ancient Egyptian religion was practiced, and also where the last hieroglyph was written.
Walking Tour in Aswan: Among Spices and Nubia
After we return from Philae Temple, we’ll go down for a walk in the beautiful streets of Aswan and start our tour in the famous local market "Sharia el Souk" or "Sharya el Souq" as locals call it.
There, you’ll live a true experience among kind and simple people selling everything you can imagine, from spices, dates, and galabeyas to handmade Nubian crafts that will steal your heart at first sight.
The smell in the market is very distinctive – between hibiscus, cardamom, and cumin – and you might try to buy nice gifts like embroidered tablecloths or wooden handmade pieces that you won’t find anywhere else but in Aswan.
People there love visitors and are always smiling and happy to talk about their city. Let our Luxor and Aswan Nile Cruisetake you deep into the wonders of southern Egypt — where every stop tells a story.
Lunch on the Boat
After the tour, we’ll return to the boat to have lunch in this beautiful weather.
Today’s lunch will be diverse as usual, and includes authentic Egyptian food like casseroles, stuffed vegetables, and chicken with rice, along with fresh salads and warm bread.
Dinner
After a day full of beauty and history, you’ll find yourself needing a warm and delicious meal, and that’s exactly what you’ll find on our dinner table at night.
Dinner will be simple but very tasty – starting with hot soup, followed by a main dish that could be meat with sauce or grilled fish, with rice and salad.
And at the end, dessert will be something to end the day with – like rice pudding with nuts or a soft piece of basbousa.
Meals:Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner
Overnight:Nile cruise
Today will be one of the unforgettable days of the trip! We’re heading to one of the greatest Pharaonic temples in Egypt, Abu Simbel.
But this time, no rushing… we’ll spend the night there and live each moment calmly, admire the grand temples, and enjoy the breathtaking view of Lake Nasser.
And there’s also a lovely surprise in the evening… the sound and light show among the giant statues!
Breakfast: A Calm Start to the Day
As soon as you wake up, a lovely Egyptian breakfast will be waiting for you at a hotel overlooking Lake Nasser… you might find fava beans, falafel, and cheese salad, or you can go for lighter options like yogurt with honey and fruit – all while sitting on a refreshing terrace.
Abu Simbel Temple
As soon as we arrive at Abu Simbel, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a huge historical movie.
The temples are carved into the mountain, and the gigantic statues of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari stand as if they’re still guarding the place for thousands of years! These statues reach up to 20 meters high, and every detail in them tells of the power and majesty of the Pharaohs.
Your tour leader will be with you and will explain everything about the temples – from their history, to why they were built, all the way to the amazing rescue mission when they were saved from flooding after the construction of the High Dam – moved block by block and rebuilt at this new location.
You’ll enter the temples and see the engravings and drawings that still preserve their colors, and you’ll learn about Ramses II’s victories and battles.
The area around you is peaceful, and the view over Lake Nasser is heartwarming… it’s a perfect place to contemplate a civilization that continues to amaze the world.
After sunset, we’ll return to the temples, but this time not to visit… we’re going to experience the sound and light show, which tells the stories of kings and ancient tales with dramatic narration and magical lighting that makes the statues seem like they’re moving and speaking themselves.
You’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time, and the mountains have turned into a giant theater, with every stone telling a story. This show truly leaves a big impression on your heart, especially in such a magical and legendary setting.
Dinner: A Warm Evening by Lake Nasser
After a day full of wonder from the place and history, you’ll definitely be craving a warm meal to end the day. Dinner will be served at the hotel – usually including delicious traditional dishes like fatta with meat or grilled chicken, along with hot soup and salad, and of course, there must be something sweet at the end… like Om Ali or warm kunafa.
While you’re having dinner, look around you… the atmosphere is calm, the stars are above, and Lake Nasser is right in front of you… a moment of a lifetime!
Meals: Breakfast and Dinner Accommodation: Seti, Resort or similar (1 night)
Today you will return again to Aswan, arriving before lunch so you can take your time. You will have the opportunity to enjoy calm and relaxation at the hotel, or if you like, go out and discover more of the city’s beauty.
In the afternoon, we will gather together and take a journey back in time at a special place.
Old Cataract Hotel: Afternoon Tea Amidst the Fragrance of History
The Old Cataract Hotel is not just a place to stay; it is living history in the heart of Aswan.
It was built in 1899 by Thomas Cook, and it has hosted famous personalities such as Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, and Agatha Christie, who wrote her famous novel Death on the Nile here.
You will sit in an elegant atmosphere as if you are in a story from the beautiful past, enjoying small trays of light snacks along with a selection of teas that will give you a feeling of luxury and sophistication.
The hotel is surrounded by beautiful gardens, and its windows overlook the Nile—a breathtaking view that makes you feel calm and peaceful amidst the stunning nature.
Free Time and Dinner of Your Choice
After a day full of relaxation and historical spirit, you will have the freedom to choose a dinner place that suits you.
Whether you want to try local restaurants serving authentic Nubian food or a quiet, beautiful spot, your trip leader is ready to help with recommendations for all tastes.
Optional Activities in Aswan
If you want to enrich your trip with more experiences, you can visit the Nubian Museum, which tells the history and culture of beautiful Nubia.
The museum is full of archaeological artifacts and sculptures that reflect a long and ancient civilization, and it will immerse you in a completely different world away from the crowds.
This is a great opportunity if you want to learn more deeply about another side of Aswan and discover the traditions of the people who lived here for many years.
Meals:Breakfast
Overnight:Aswan Hotel
Today we’ll start our day with a visit to an important modern Egyptian engineering landmark, then we’ll dive into the secrets of the past that still speak volumes about Egypt’s ancient civilization.
After that, we’ll spend a lovely time on the Nile shores during a magical sunset, followed by a traditional dinner that will take you right into the heart of authentic Nubian life.
The High Dam in Aswan
The High Dam is one of the largest engineering projects in Egypt, located about 13 km south of Aswan. It’s not just a dam—it’s a long story of challenges and history that had a huge impact on the entire region.
When the dam was built, many ancient temples and statues had to be relocated to prevent the rising waters from flooding them, and that created a historic shift in preserving Egyptian heritage.
Visiting the dam doesn’t just show you a massive and impressive structure—it helps you understand how Egypt managed to control the Nile and provide water and electricity to the whole country.
The place is wide open with stunning views that make you feel the power of human achievement.
The Unfinished Obelisk
After the dam, you’ll head to a different and slightly mysterious place: the Unfinished Obelisk.
This would’ve been the largest obelisk in ancient Egypt if it had been completed, but unfortunately, work on it was abandoned halfway.
When you stand before the obelisk, you’ll feel the greatness of the pharaohs in planning and engineering, and we’ll see how those grand ideas were actually being brought to life.
The site is full of stories and secrets, and standing in front of that massive stone makes you truly feel the greatness of ancient Egyptian civilization and its lasting presence.
Elephantine Island and the Felucca Ride
After a short break in Aswan, we’ll spend the afternoon on a different kind of journey along the Nile.
We’ll ride a traditional felucca and sail to Elephantine Island—the island once believed to be the home of the god Khnum, guardian and controller of the Nile’s waters.
You’ll walk around and observe local life, in a calm and beautiful natural setting. And here begins the real beauty of the journey—with sunset drinks on the felucca. The view is indescribable, and the feeling stays with you for a long time.
Traditional Nubian Dinner
After the magical sunset, we’ll disembark at a small Nubian village where we’ll enjoy a traditional dinner with a local family.
You’ll try authentic Nubian dishes that will make you feel the warmth and hospitality Nubians are famous for. Beyond the food, you’ll hear stories and tales from the local people and learn about their simple and beautiful way of life.
Meal: Breakfast, Dinner
Overnight:Aswan Hotel
Today, we say goodbye to Aswan and take a flight back to Cairo – the capital that always surprises us with its history and soul. We'll rest a bit at the hotel after arrival, and then we’ll begin a different kind of tour, one that’s not just about monuments, but full of life and the spirit of the locals.
We’ll visit places that combine shopping, heritage, religion, and art, and we’ll end the day with the most beautiful moments with an Egyptian family offering a homemade dinner straight from the heart.
Khan El Khalili
Khan El Khalili is the oldest and most famous market in Egypt, and the place where you can truly feel the spirit of Cairo.
The market has been around since the 14th century and is made up of narrow alleys full of shops selling everything you can imagine – from brass lanterns, handmade crafts, and leather, to silver, oriental perfumes, and colorful, aromatic spices that awaken your senses.
While walking through the alleys, you'll see craftsmen working with their hands and shop owners calling out to customers in a uniquely Egyptian cheerful way.
If you love photography, every corner here could be a painting. After wandering around, you'll stop at El Fishawy Cafe – the oldest café in Cairo – which has been welcoming guests for 250 years.
Ibn Tulun Mosque
Step into one of Cairo’s timeless landmarks — a mosque that’s stood tall since 879 AD, echoing over 1100 years of history and faith.
As you enter through its gate, you’ll immediately feel awe and serenity, and you’ll marvel at the vast interior space, the high arches, and the massive columns supporting the large roof.
Everything in this place is designed with brilliant engineering, and the most beautiful part is the spiral minaret, which you can climb for an incredible panoramic view of Old Cairo.
The mosque isn’t just a place for prayer – it’s an architectural masterpiece representing the Tulunid era. It features rare architectural details like gypsum decorations and old wooden doors.
The place is quiet and beautiful, offering you a window into an important Islamic era in Egypt’s history. It's perfect for anyone who wants to escape the city’s hustle and experience a moment of spiritual peace.
Gayer-Anderson Museum
This museum is made up of two historical houses connected together, forming a rich museum full of strange and unique artifacts. The house itself is an architectural gem, but once you step inside, you’ll be even more amazed than you imagined.
The rooms are designed in Ottoman, Moroccan, Persian, and even Indian styles, each decorated with the highest level of taste – from the ornate ceilings, carved doors, to rare furniture.
You’ll find collections like ancient weapons, books and manuscripts, oriental carpets, and rare art pieces. Gayer-Anderson, who lived in this house, was a British officer who loved Egypt so much he decided to live there and collect every artifact he could..
Lunch? Real Authentic Koshary!
After a day full of walking and sightseeing, we need a proper food stop – and nothing hits the spot like Egypt’s most beloved street food: Koshary! We’ll head to a famous, long-standing koshary place and order a big bowl packed with all the good stuff: lentils, pasta, rice, chickpeas, crispy onions, and incredible sauces like tomato sauce, garlic vinegar, and chili.
Just the smell will make your mouth water! What’s even better is that this dish is simple yet super filling, and its flavor takes you back to the good old days when everything was handmade with love by an Egyptian housewife.
Try it your own way – add as much chili as you want – but be careful… eating koshary in Egypt comes with its own special rituals you’ll want to enjoy to the fullest!
Dinner with Locals
Tonight is something totally different. Instead of heading to a restaurant, we’re going to an Egyptian family’s home.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel like you're with your own relatives. They’ll greet you warmly and invite you to a table full of the most delicious home-cooked dishes: molokhia, mahshi, potato casserole, grilled chicken, vermicelli rice, and fresh Egyptian salad made with love.
And that’s not all – we’ll talk with them about their lives, work, memories, and learn about Egyptian cooking straight from the kitchen.
They might even teach us a recipe or a secret spice mix! This dinner isn’t just about food – it’s a human moment that will stay with you forever and one you’ll never forget.
Meals:Breakfast
Flight:Aswan to Cairo
Overnight:Cairo Hotel
Our day today will start a bit early, but trust me, it’s worth it! We’ll leave the hustle and bustle of Cairo and head to Fayoum — a place completely different from what we’ve seen before.
We’ll spend an unforgettable day in the heart of nature, between waterfalls, lakes, and history drawn in the desert sands.
We’ll discover one of the strangest and most important geological areas in the world and learn the secrets of whales that lived here millions of years ago!
Wadi El Rayan: Egypt’s Only Waterfall!
Our first stop will be Wadi El Rayan, a stunning natural protectorate that connects two large lakes through waterfalls — and these are the only natural waterfalls in Egypt!
The view there is breathtaking, and it’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves photography or wants to enjoy a moment of peace in the heart of nature.
We’ll walk around the lakes, watch the birds that live in the area, and if you're lucky, you might spot some wild animals from afar.
The valley is also known for its golden sands and strange rock formations, and you’ll feel like you’re on another planet.
The atmosphere is clean, the air is fresh, and there’s a feeling of freedom as if you’ve disconnected from the noise and chaos. If you love relaxing, just sit on a rock by the water, take a deep breath... that moment will stay with you.
Whale Valley: Secrets of the Whales That Used to Walk on Land!
After finishing our tour in Wadi El Rayan, we’ll hop into a 4WD vehicle and head to a place that’s truly world-class: Wadi Al-Hitan, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Imagine walking in a desert, but beneath your feet are the fossil remains of whales that lived here 40 million years ago!
In Whale Valley, we’ll learn one of the strangest stories in the planet’s history... how whales, which we now see living in the sea, once lived on land!
We’ll see rare fossils, including the fully intact skeleton of the largest whale called Basilosaurus isis – and this one doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world!
After that, we’ll visit the Fossil and Climate Change Museum at the site. It’s a modern and engaging museum that displays these rare fossils and explains in a simple way the evolution of creatures and the climate changes over the years.
Having your lunch surrounded by golden sands!
After our long tour, we’ve got to stop and take a proper break! But today’s lunch isn’t ordinary... it’s a real desert meal, served in the middle of the sand and mountains, with an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in an adventure movie.
We’ll all sit together on a traditional mat, and the dishes will start coming one after the other: seasoned rice, grilled meat or chicken on coal, fresh green salad, local bread, and delicious tahini. And the best part? The Bedouin tea made on charcoal... its taste is something else!
This meal isn’t just about food, it’s a moment of warmth, laughter, and stories with your friends surrounded by the silence and beauty of the desert, and the unforgettable smell of nature.
Get your camera ready... because this moment will stay in your memory forever!
Meals:Breakfast Lunch
Overnight:Cairo Hotel
Today is the last day of our trip, and it might be a farewell day, but it's definitely not a farewell to the beautiful memories we lived together.
After breakfast, each one of us will start packing and recalling the moments that passed quickly — between places we saw for the first time, laughter, photos, new foods, and experiences we’ll never forget.
If you’d like to continue your journey and explore more in Cairo, all you have to do is speak to the booking agent, and they’ll arrange everything for you!
A farewell breakfast—one last peaceful morning flavored with memories.
Before we say goodbye, we’ll all sit together for breakfast — a simple meal, but it tastes different today. Not because of the food, but because of the company… everyone around you has now become a memory in your heart, whether it's a laugh, a photo, or a story.
