Pyramids, Nile Cruise and Hurghada from Cairo
A complete private journey through ancient monuments, Nile waterways, and Red Sea shores.
This private 10-day Egypt tour combines Cairo's iconic landmarks, a 5-star Nile River cruise, and a beach stay in Hurghada into one expertly guided itinerary. Every transfer, flight, and excursion is coordinated so you move through Egypt's highlights without logistical stress.
Starting at Cairo International Airport, you visit the Giza Pyramid complex and the Egyptian Museum before flying south to Aswan. From Aswan, a luxury Nile cruise carries you past Kom Ombo and Edfu before docking in Luxor, where the West Bank's royal tombs and temples await.
