Overview

This 12-day Egypt tour combines three distinct sides of the country in one itinerary: the archaeological sites of Cairo, four nights sailing the Nile through Upper Egypt, and three nights beside the Red Sea in Sharm El Sheikh. The route covers seven cities over 11 nights and operates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Four nights are spent in Cairo, where privately guided sightseeing covers the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Valley Temple, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, Old Cairo, Salah El-Din Citadel, and the Mohammed Ali Mosque. The program then moves south by domestic flight to Luxor, where the river journey begins.
Four nights aboard a five-star superior Nile cruise connect Luxor with Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Aswan. Guided visits cover Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, and Philae Temple. Cruise accommodation is full board, with the meals specified in each day's program.
The final section changes the pace. Fly from Aswan to Sharm El Sheikh for three nights on the Sinai Peninsula, with free time and optional excursions to Ras Mohammed National Park and the Colored Canyon before returning to Cairo for the last hotel night.
OFT Travel arranges the scheduled domestic flights, private air-conditioned transfers, hotel and cruise accommodation, entrance fees, meals identified in the itinerary, and guiding services. Cairo tours are private, while sightseeing connected to the cruise is shared with an OFT Travel group.
