We leave the Nile Valley now and head to the Red Sea coast at Hurghada for some welcome rest and relaxation in a 5-star beach resort. We also tour the huge temple complex at Karnak and see Luxor temple beautifully lit up at night. Sites visited include underground Pharaonic tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatchepsut and Medinat Habu temples, and the immense Collosi of Memnon. There are a huge number of ancient sites to see here, and we'll tour both the east and west banks of the Nile. The cruise takes us north via the temples at Edfu and Komombo to Luxor, considered by many as the world's finest and largest outdoor museum. You'll enjoy a comfortable en-suite cabin with panoramic windows, a restaurant, lounge and bar, and a large sun deck with another bar, recliners and a plunge pool. We leave Aswan on one of Nile's famous luxury cruise boats.
You also have the option to visit the amazing temples to Abu Simbel which were dismantled and rebuilt when Lake Nasser was flooded. We'll take a boat trip to the beautiful island temple of Philae.
Next, we take an internal flight south to Aswan, where the Nile is at its most picturesque. We start in Cairo with tours of the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, and the world famous Egyptian Museum which has a huge collection of ancient artefacts including of course, the King Tutankhamun display. This 10-day Egypt tour features all the main Pharaonic highlights in Cairo and the Nile Valley as well as including a luxury Nile river cruise and some time by the Red Sea at Hurghada.
