Days 1-2 Cairo

Wonderfully chaotic and always colourful, Cairo’s dazzling array of museums, mosques and markets are a fascinating mixture of modern city and ancient wonders.

Situated on the banks of the Nile, the Nubian city of Aswan has been Egypt’s southern gateway to Africa and an important trading centre since ancient times.

Once the lifeblood of an ancient civilisation, cruise the iconic Nile on a traditional felucca and spend a night sleeping on deck under the stars.

Days 6-7 Luxor

From the spectacular temple complex of Karnak to the extraordinary hieroglyphs of the Valley of the Kings, Luxor is full of wonderfully preserved reminders of the Pharaohs.

Days 8-9 Alexandria

Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria is packed with architectural and cultural wonders, both ancient and modern.
