General
Imagine yourself on the journey of a lifetime on our Grand Tour of Egypt. You’ll be awed by temples that have stood for centuries, delighted by sailing along the great Nile, and humbled by the timeless beauty of the pyramids. Dine with an Egyptian family in Cairo, then fly south to Luxor to visit the temples and embark on a seven-night cruise along the Nile. Visit the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Horus, then sail to Aswan for an optional excursion to Abu Simbel and a ride on white-sailed Felucca. Back in Cairo, the amazing and mysterious Pyramids of Giza await. It may seem otherworldly to stand near the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, and even more amazing to view the sights from atop a camel. Stay in our selection of First Class accommodations and enjoy 26 meals, including 7 lunches and 8 dinners. To ensure a comfortable travel experience, our motorcoaches are equipped with large panoramic windows, reclining seats, air-conditioning and emergency restroom facilities. Roundtrip airfare and fuel surcharges are included from selected cities across the US and over 60 alternative departure cities are available at a low cost supplement. Tour price is per person and is based on two people sharing a twin bedded room. Single rooms are available at a supplement.
