Overview

This 12-day Egypt vacation combines Cairo’s major archaeological sites, the temples of Upper Egypt, a three-night Nile cruise, and a Red Sea stay in Hurghada. The itinerary covers eight cities across 11 nights, with scheduled departures every Saturday, Monday, and Thursday.
The first part of the trip is based in Cairo. Private sightseeing includes 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. Lunch is included on both full sightseeing days.
A domestic flight then takes you to Aswan, where Philae Temple and the Unfinished Obelisk introduce the monuments of southern Egypt. The following morning brings one of the itinerary’s defining visits: Abu Simbel. The excursion is included and operates by modern air-conditioned coach with a small group before returning to Aswan to board the Nile cruise.
Three nights on a five-star superior cruise take you north through Kom Ombo and Edfu to Luxor. The river section includes Kom Ombo Temple, Edfu Temple, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon. From Luxor, the journey continues by road to Hurghada for three nights on a Soft All Inclusive basis, with optional snorkeling and desert activities available during the free days.
OFT Travel arranges the scheduled private transfers, domestic flights from Cairo to Aswan and Hurghada to Cairo, accommodation, cruise cabin, guiding, entrance fees, and meals listed in the program. Cairo tours are private, while cruise excursions and the Luxor-to-Hurghada transfer are shared with an OFT Travel group.
