During this 11-day/10-night holiday to Egypt, you'll experience an unforgettable experience that begins with a regular flight from Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Bilbao, Malaga, and Seville) to Aswan. From there, you'll embark on a majestic 4-day/3-night Nile River cruise, sailing from Aswan to Luxor while enjoying full board (excluding drinks) and discovering Egyptian temples.

Relax on its golden sandy beaches, explore the fascinating underwater world of the Red Sea with snorkeling or scuba diving, and enjoy the vibrant nightlife of this heavenly destination.

In Aswan, your Egypt trip begins with the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis, located on an island surrounded by serene waters. This site offers a combination of mythological significance and stunning natural scenery, making it one of the highlights of the trip. While exploring the temple, you'll also encounter the cats that roam freely on the grounds, acting as natural guardians of this sacred space. These friendly felines are a beloved feature of Philae, and visitors are encouraged to interact with them, whether by playing, taking photos, or feeding them. Their striking beauty and gentle demeanor add a unique charm to the temple, making your visit even more memorable. From there, head to Kom Ombo, home to the unique double temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon-headed god Haroeris. The temple's architecture offers a fascinating insight into Egyptian mythology and the religious practices of the ancient world.

As you continue down the Nile, you'll visit the Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of Egypt's best-preserved monuments. Rising majestically along the riverbank, the temple offers a striking glimpse into ancient Egyptian religious life. On the East Bank of the Nile, explore the sprawling Karnak Temple complex, a massive site dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, which includes towering obelisks, chapels, and the famous Hypostyle Hall with its 134 colossal columns. Nearby, Luxor Temple stands as another testament to Egypt's grandeur, with its illuminated façade and intricate reliefs depicting scenes from the lives of the pharaohs and deities.

Your Egypt trip continues by crossing to the West Bank of the Nile, where you'll explore the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of legendary pharaohs such as Tutankhamun and Ramses VI are carved into the cliffs. Inside these tombs, you'll see vibrant wall paintings depicting the journey to the afterlife, featuring scenes from the Book of the Dead. Continue your exploration with a visit to the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahari, an extraordinary terraced structure built in honor of one of Egypt's most powerful female pharaohs. The site is framed by towering cliffs and offers a striking contrast to the desert surroundings. End the day with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues of Amenhotep III, which have stood watch over the Theban necropolis for over 3,400 years. Finally, you'll take a flight to Cairo, Egypt's bustling capital, where modern life intersects with ancient history.

The Egypt trip with a Nile cruise and Cairo continues with a visit to the iconic Giza Plateau, home to the Pyramids of Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. These massive stone structures, built over 4,000 years ago, are a lasting testament to the architectural genius of ancient Egypt. The Great Sphinx, with its mysterious gaze, protects the pyramids and offers a sense of awe and wonder. Also explore the Valley Temple of Khafre, an impressive funerary complex believed to have been used for purification rituals before the pharaoh's burial. Its remarkably preserved architecture, with its massive blocks of limestone and polished granite, offers a unique insight into the religious and cultural practices of ancient Egypt.

Your 11-day/10-night Egypt trip culminates with a four-day stay in Sharm Elsheikh, a Red Sea resort town in the Sinai Peninsula, famous for its luxurious accommodations, pristine beaches, and vibrant marine life. Here, you can relax and unwind in a tranquil setting, enjoying first-class facilities and beautiful views of the Red Sea.

Explore vibrant coral reefs, renowned for their beauty and biodiversity. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, a jeep desert safari is a must, where you can ride a camel through the stunning, rugged landscape and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the vast desert.
