Cairo and Nile Cruise Package Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Cairo – The Beginning of Your Egyptian Tale

As your plane touches down in the vibrant city of Cairo, a world where ancient legends meet modern life awaits you. Your personal tour manager greets you warmly at the airport, guiding you effortlessly through arrival procedures. On the way to your hotel, you'll catch your first glimpses of this bustling metropolis – the heart of Egypt. After a smooth check-in, your guide will sit with you to walk through your upcoming adventures, ensuring every detail is perfectly set for the days ahead.

Day 2: The Great Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum 

After a hearty Egyptian breakfast, your journey into the ancient world begins. The air feels different as you arrive at the Giza Plateau, standing in awe before the timeless majesty of the Great Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The enigmatic Sphinx, silent yet powerful, guards these colossal monuments, whispering stories of kings and mysteries.

You’ll pause for lunch at an authentic local restaurant where traditional Egyptian flavors bring your senses alive. In the afternoon, you step into the Grand Egyptian Museum, where history breathes through magnificent artifacts, some displayed to the world for the first time. As the sun sets, you return to your hotel, carrying the weight and wonder of ancient civilizations with you.

Day 3: From Cairo to Aswan – Sailing into Serenity

An early morning flight whisks you away from the dynamic energy of Cairo to the tranquil charm of Aswan. Upon arrival, you board your Nile cruise, a floating sanctuary that will carry you through the heart of Egypt.

Your afternoon is filled with the elegance of Philae Temple, a poetic island sanctuary dedicated to Isis and Hathor, where the soft lapping of the Nile surrounds you. You’ll also encounter the sheer scale of the Unfinished Obelisk, a colossal monument frozen in time. As evening falls, you dine aboard your cruise, gently swaying with the river’s rhythm.

Day 4: Kom Ombo and Edfu – Temples of the Nile

As the sun rises, your cruise sets sail to Kom Ombo. Here, you step into the uniquely symmetrical temple dedicated to both Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon god. The morning breeze carries the stories of ancient healers and sacred rituals.

By afternoon, you arrive at Edfu, where a horse-drawn carriage takes you through a charming riverside town to the remarkably preserved Temple of Horus. Returning to your cruise, you continue sailing to Esna, celebrating the evening with an Egyptian feast and the joyful Galabiya Party, where you can dress like a local and join the festivity.

Day 5: Luxor – Gates to the Afterlife

Your cruise crosses the Esna Lock as the sunrise casts a golden glow over the Nile. Today, you immerse yourself in Luxor, the world’s greatest open-air museum. Walk among the colossal columns of Karnak Temple, a sprawling complex that once served as the spiritual heart of Egypt. At Luxor Temple, the ancient stones seem to pulse with the energy of centuries.

Cross to the West Bank where the Valley of the Kings awaits, the eternal resting place of mighty pharaohs. Stand before the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved into the limestone cliffs, and marvel at the towering Colossi of Memnon. After this unforgettable day, you can unwind or explore Luxor’s vibrant souks.

Day 6: Farewell to the Nile – Return to Cairo

After breakfast, you disembark your cruise, now part of the river’s endless story. You’ll fly back to Cairo, where you can spend the evening at your leisure, perhaps savoring one last Egyptian sunset.
