Classic Egypt

What is the Classic Egypt itinerary?

Classic Egypt is the definitive first-timer journey: the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the treasures of the Egyptian Museum, the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and a graceful sail down the Nile to Aswan with optional Abu Simbel. It is our most-booked itinerary because it covers Egypt's essentials in a sensible, comfortable flow.

Where does the itinerary travel?

The route runs Cairo and Giza, then south to Luxor (Karnak, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon), a cruise through Edfu and Kom Ombo, and finishes in Aswan (Philae Temple, High Dam, Nubian villages) with an optional early flight to Abu Simbel.
