Embrace the very best of Egypt on this 9-day tour. In Luxor, walk through an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes at Karnak, a vast complex of ancient temples, chapels, and pylons. Visit the Luxor Museum, where you can see two royal mummies. Travel by luxury coach to the Valley of the Kings, where the legendary pharaoh Tutankhamun is buried. Sail along the Nile aboard a felucca—a traditional wooden boat with billowing sails—guided by a local sailor who will share insights into ancient sailing practices. In Cairo, meet an Egyptologist at the Egyptian Museum to view treasures recovered from pharaohs’ tombs, then ascend to the Citadel for sweeping views over the city. Finally, marvel at the incredible Pyramids of Giza from within, as an Egyptologist leads you past the Sphinx to the heart of a pyramid, revealing its cavernous wonders.
