Cairo
Our adventure will begin in the capital of this enchanting country, Cairo, where we will explore the pyramids and all of the wonders of this ancient city. During our time here, we will stay at a centrally located four-star hotel and be shown around the city by our very own Egyptologist.

Lake Nasser
From Cairo we will take a first-class sleeper train to Abu Simbel to board our ship, which will sail us to the remote temples and fortresses of Lake Nasser. We will take our classes as we cruise and enjoy the fine dining and a swimming pool on board.

Aswan, the desert, and the Nile
Our cruise will dock at Aswan, where we will explore the sand dunes of the Egyptian desert. We will then board our river boat and sail south for four days. Our stops will include visits to the Valley of the Kings, the Colossi of Memnon Karnak and, finally, Luxor, where we will disembark. Each day will be filled with classes, local bazaars, swimming, and terrific food.

The Red Sea
Our trip will culminate with a week of excitement in a resort on the shores of the Red Sea at Hurghada. Here, dazzling beaches, snorkelling, and diving await. Our program culminates with a final-night banquet and awards ceremony to celebrate our incredible Egyptian journey.
