Embark on a quest through Egypt’s legendary past and vibrant present

Listen to timeworn tales echo through bustling souks and witness colossal stone icons stand as silent sentinels—this is Egypt in all its glory. Venture deep into hidden valleys where temples and tombs tell the stories—and keep the secrets—of ancient royalty. Begin your trek in Cairo, where reverence for the past harmoniously coexists with the vibrant rhythms of a modern capital. In the company of your Egyptologist Tour Director, see the Pyramids of Giza, the last standing Wonder of the Ancient World, before continuing to Alexandria on the lush Mediterranean coast. Succumb to the gentle sway of a Nile cruise, where tranquil waters carry you to Luxor and Aswan. Extend your trip to the seaside oasis of Hurghada where you’ll cruise, swim, and snorkel the Red Sea.
