The traditional Grand Tour cadence — ten days, three cities, and a Nile passage that pharaohs and Victorian travellers alike agreed was the only sensible way to see Egypt.
The Classic Egypt Discovery is an Egypt tour package, spanning 7 days and 6 nights, covering 3 cities, including a Nile cruise. It features 5-star hotels. Prices start from $1,290 per person.
The classical Nile-cruise route has been the shape of an Egypt trip for 150 years — for good reason. Here's why we still book it this way.
Each day is carefully paced with a balance of must-see monuments, leisure time, and authentic local experiences.
A perfectly-paced loop covering Egypt's most iconic destinations.
All hotels are 5-star with prime locations, exceptional reviews, and the personal touches we look for: pool access, easy transfers, and rooms with views.
All prices are per person, USD. Children 0-5 free, ages 6-11 receive 50% off.
