Guided by an expert Egyptologist, this singular small group journey features the storied treasures of antiquity. Start in Cairo with its renowned ancient sites: the Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, Memphis, Sakkara, Old Cairo, and the Egyptian Museum. Relax during a deluxe cruise on Lake Nasser, where the country’s Nubian history unfolds. Explore Abu Simbel and other temples and sites saved during construction of the Aswan Dam. A classic Nile voyage takes you from Aswan to Luxor and its acclaimed temple complexes and tombs representing the pinnacle of Egyptian architecture: the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens, the imposing Colossi of Memnon, and Karnak. End in the Mediterranean port Alexandria, one of antiquity’s most illustrious cities. Discover the city’s Greco-Roman heritage at the Library of Alexandria and the tri-level catacombs in Kom el-Shoukafa. An optional post-tour extension to Jordan offers the chance to discover fabled Petra and the capital, Amman.
