Discover the very best of Egypt on this 10-day classic private journey through Cairo, the Nile Valley, and the Mediterranean coast. Begin in Cairo with the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then travel back further in time at the ancient necropolis of Saqqara. Fly south to Luxor to board a 3-night Nile cruise, sailing past the Karnak Temple Complex, the Valley of the Kings, and the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo on the way to Aswan, home of the High Dam and the island sanctuary of Philae Temple.
After disembarking and flying back to Cairo, round out your trip with a full-day excursion to Alexandria, Egypt's historic Mediterranean capital, visiting the Qaitbay Citadel, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, and the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

Cairo, Egypt's sprawling capital, is the gateway to the ancient world. Home to the Giza Pyramids—the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World—and the Great Sphinx, it also boasts the Grand Egyptian Museum, which houses over 100,000 artifacts, including the complete Tutankhamun collection. Nearby, the ancient capitals of Memphis and Saqqara reveal Egypt's earliest monumental architecture, including the Step Pyramid of Djoser. The city's Islamic heritage is showcased in the Citadel of Saladin and the Mohamed Ali Mosque, while vibrant Khan El-Khalili Bazaar offers a sensory overload of spices, perfumes, and handcrafted souvenirs.
Luxor, ancient Thebes, is often called the world's greatest open-air museum. The East Bank houses the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious site ever built, with its iconic Hypostyle Hall of 134 columns, and the beautifully illuminated Luxor Temple. The West Bank conceals the Valley of the Kings, where over 60 New Kingdom pharaohs were buried in elaborately painted rock-cut tombs, the stunning Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon. Luxor is also the traditional starting point for Nile cruises heading south to Aswan.
Aswan, Egypt's southernmost major city, offers a gentler, more relaxed pace along the Nile. The Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel, created Lake Nasser. The Unfinished Obelisk reveals how ancient Egyptians carved colossal monuments from granite. Philae Temple, reached by motorboat, is a romantic island sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis. Optional excursions to Abu Simbel — the twin rock temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari — are available. A felucca sail on the Nile offers a timeless Nubian experience.
Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria blends Greco-Roman, Islamic, and modern Egyptian heritage along the Mediterranean coast. The Qaitbay Citadel stands on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa combine Egyptian, Greek, and Roman funerary styles in a single underground complex, while Pompey's Pillar marks the remains of the ancient Serapeum. The modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina pays tribute to the legendary Library of Alexandria, once the largest repository of knowledge in the ancient world.
