The trip opens in Cairo, before the treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum and the pyramids of Giza, the last wonder of the ancient world still standing. A flight then leads to Aswan, where Philae temple seems to rise from the water, before boarding for three nights of cruising on the Nile.
The boat sails downriver from one temple to the next: Edfu and its Temple of Horus, among the best preserved in the country, Kom Ombo, dedicated to both the crocodile god and the falcon god, then Luxor and the vast Karnak complex. At dawn, a hot-air balloon can fly over the valley for those who wish.
Three nights in Hurghada, on the Red Sea, then offer time to rest. The last day returns to Cairo for Saladin's Citadel, Memphis and the Step Pyramid of Saqqara.
