Trip at a Glance

400 392

Antiquity defines all things Egyptian. Merchants exchange goods in bustling souks from Cairo to Luxor much as they have for thousands of years. Pyramids rise from desert sands, witness to countless generations, keepers of ancient secrets. To decipher the full spectrum of life in Egypt, you must look both to its mysterious past and its vibrant present. We help you do just that during this exclusive adventure, with a Nile cruise aboard the privately owned M/S River Hathor or a privately charted river ship.

In our small group, we do more than explore the grand and ancient monuments. We examine them up close with our certified Egyptologist Trip Leader. And for a more intimate view of modern-day Egypt, we’re invited to break aaysh with a Cairo family in their home and witness a day in the life of local children at a village school.
