Egypt Highlights: 14-Day Pyramids, Nile Cruise & Red Sea Tour
From the pyramids of Giza to the shores of the Red Sea, journey through five thousand years of history in fourteen remarkable days.
The Egypt Highlights tour guides travellers across the country's most iconic landscapes, from the ancient necropolis at Giza to the sun-warmed coastline of Hurghada. Over fourteen days, guests experience a carefully balanced itinerary that pairs archaeological discovery with leisure and natural beauty. The pace is rated easy, making it accessible for a broad range of travellers.
Egypt holds one of the longest continuous records of human civilisation on earth, and this tour engages with that legacy at every turn. Guided visits cover the Giza Plateau, the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and the island sanctuary of Philae, each site placing guests directly within the historical narrative.
A multi-day Nile cruise connects Aswan and Luxor, allowing travellers to observe the river's agricultural banks and traditional villages from the deck of a five-star vessel. Meals are included throughout the cruise, and the journey between temple sites is as rewarding as the destinations themselves.
The final chapter of the tour shifts to the Red Sea, where three full days in Hurghada provide time for snorkelling, swimming or simply resting on the beach. The return to Cairo closes the trip with a full-day city tour covering the Egyptian Museum, the Coptic Quarter, the Citadel and the Khan El Khalili Bazaar.

Sail the Nile aboard a five-star cruise ship, stopping at the temples of Philae, Kom Ombo, Karnak and Luxor.
