Description

This 8-day journey offers an unforgettable exploration of Egypt’s ancient wonders, beginning with a seamless flight to Aswan from Spain. Upon arrival, you'll board the Nile cruise, your floating sanctuary for the next few days, as you embark on a voyage through the heart of Egypt’s history. Sailing along the iconic Nile River, the landscapes unfold, revealing the timeless beauty and cultural treasures of this remarkable land.

In Luxor, often referred to as the "world’s greatest open-air museum," is a highlight of your journey. On the East Bank of the Nile, you’ll explore the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, a sprawling site dedicated primarily to the god Amun. Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall, with its forest of towering columns, and admire the Sacred Lake, used in ancient rituals. Nearby, Luxor Temple stands as a striking example of ancient Egyptian architecture, once connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes.

From Luxor, a short flight takes you to Cairo, where the Giza Plateau unveils its timeless treasures. Here, the Pyramids of Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure rise majestically against the desert backdrop. The Great Pyramid of Cheops, the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, stands as a testament to the ingenuity of ancient engineers. Nearby, the enigmatic Great Sphinx, with its lion’s body and human head, guards the plateau, embodying the mystery and majesty of ancient Egypt. Your journey concludes with a return flight to Spain.

This extraordinary journey invites you to witness the splendor of Egypt, from its ancient temples and pyramids to the timeless allure of the Nile, all while enjoying exceptional hospitality and unforgettable experiences—all at an affordable price that makes this adventure truly accessible.
