This tour’s itinerary varies over time. Select when you would like to travel:

Marvel at pyramids, temples, and tombs—and sail along the Nile—with fellow solo travelers.

The perfect day in Egypt involves forkfuls of falafel, a sensorial stroll through a busy souk, and a whole lot of ancient history. With fellow solo travelers by your side, you’ll decipher hieroglyphics carved into towering temples, stand in the shadows of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and take to the Nile by boat—because no trip to Egypt is complete until you discover the wonders of the world’s longest, and most storied, river. Extend your trip to Alexandria, where ancient wisdom flows along the Mediterranean coast.

The tour was packed with virtually no down time. The educational focus was on ancient Egypt and the tour director was incredibly knowledgeable of the pyramids and tombs and could read hieroglyphics! Amazing.! There was a lot of walking on uneven surfaces - many miles per day....

First off, this is a high activity tour. It moves fast, and there are hardly any ADA accommodations like you have in the US. If you have difficulty going up and down stairs, walking/standing for extended times, or get winded easily, I'd suggest a different tour. The itinerary...
