Nile River Explorer 11 days

Explore the highlights of the Nile Valley from the comfort of a well-appointed riverboat and experience the timeless grace of this renowned waterway and the civilisations it has long supported. Bask in awe at the pyramids and delve through the Egyptian Museum and the Valley of the Kings, before boarding your Nile cruise boat. Visit the amazing temples of Edfu and Komombo along the way, before wandering the grand island temple of Philae at Aswan. Relax beneath the triangular sail of a traditional felucca and perhaps take an optional excursion to the stunning ruins at Abu Simbel; you’ll be further enthralled by Egypt and have plenty to dream and think about for the chilled-out cruise back to Luxor. Or just lay back on deck, bask by the pool and watch the world – both ancient and modern – drift on by. From Luxor a short flight brings us back to Cairo, where we top off the journey with a fascinating wander through the Medieval quarter and the hustle and hubbub of Khan al-Khalili Bazaar.
