Sail along the Nile River and demystify sites that define 5,000 years of history.

How do you turn a week into forever? By going back—thousands of years back—to Egypt’s mythical sites and etching them into your memories. Guided by an Egyptologist, you’ll take in the Pyramids of Giza before setting sail down the Nile River. You’ll make awe-filled stops at towering, hieroglyph-etched temples in Karnak and Luxor; wander the hidden tombs of the Valley of the Kings; and have the opportunity to soar above it all in a hot-air balloon. To take a closer look at the unique intersection of spiritual traditions in modern Egypt, extend your trip to stay in Cairo.
