Trip Preview

The Ultimate Journey Through Ancient Egypt Egypt is not just a destination — it is a passage through civilization itself. From the electric energy of Cairo’s streets to the sacred stillness of Luxor’s West Bank, every day on this itinerary is intentionally designed to move you.

First Stop: Cairo Step into one of the world’s most legendary cities. Explore the Pyramids of Giza, come face to face with the Sphinx, and walk through the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the treasures of pharaohs. Feel the pulse of Cairo through its bazaars, spices, and ancient streets.

Next: The Nile River Cruise Board a luxury Nile cruise and let the river carry you through history. From Aswan to Luxor, each stop reveals a new wonder — Philae Temple, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Days on deck. Evenings of entertainment. Memories that last a lifetime.

This is not just a vacation. It is a passage through time — crafted for travelers who want to experience Egypt with clarity, ease, and intention.

How the payment plan works

Your deposit isn't a flat dollar amount or percentage — it's your trip total divided across your payment plan, and your plan length depends on how far out you book. The earlier you book, the smaller your first payment. Book within 90 days of departure, and full payment is due at booking.

You can enroll in our automatic billing plan and relax knowing your future payments will be made on time, every time. At booking, we'll create an evenly divided schedule for you, so you'll always know the exact date each payment will be processed. Your initial deposit is due at booking, and future payments will be charged automatically according to the invoice schedule. Automatic billing is available at no extra charge.
