Your journey begins early with a welcome briefing hosted by your Anteros Travel tour leader and Egyptologist. Over coffee and introductions, we’ll prepare for the days ahead. Then, it’s off to explore Cairo’s timeless treasures.

Our first stop is the Egyptian Museum, home to awe-inspiring relics over 5,000 years old, including the gilded wonders of Tutankhamun’s tomb. We continue to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization to stand before the very mummies of the kings and queens who once ruled the Nile.

In the afternoon, we dive into the colourful chaos of Khan el-Khalili bazaar, a labyrinth of spice-scented alleys and centuries-old shops.

Meals: Breakfast

Note: After July 3, 2025, we’ll visit the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum instead of the older museum.

No image of Egypt is more iconic than the pyramids. Today, we stand in awe before the colossal structures of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos, and the enigmatic face of the Great Sphinx. Your Egyptologist guide will help you decode the ancient engineering and the mythology surrounding these tombs for the gods.

There’s an option to step inside one of the pyramids for an additional fee—a moment that feels like walking into the soul of the past.

Later, we drive to a scenic viewpoint for one last look at these wonders under the sunlit sky.

An early morning transfer to the airport takes us south to Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes. Upon arrival, we head straight to the sprawling Karnak Temple complex—an awe-inspiring forest of towering columns and sacred halls dedicated to the god Amun.

Next, we stroll through the elegant Luxor Temple, still glowing with stories of divine kingship and Roman alterations. The Nile flows nearby as if listening to the stories carved into every wall.

We then board our floating hotel, where a delicious lunch welcomes us. The afternoon is yours to unwind or wander Luxor’s lively corniche with your Anteros Travel rep on hand to assist.

We set out early for the West Bank—land of the setting sun and the ancient necropolis of Egypt’s New Kingdom. In the Valley of the Kings, we descend into beautifully painted tombs, their walls alive with ancient scripture and images of rebirth.

Three tombs are included with your ticket, and if time allows, you may opt to visit Ramses VI or Tutankhamun’s tomb—each a haunting marvel of royal legacy.

Next, we pay tribute to Queen Hatshepsut at her elegant mortuary temple, a testament to her unique rule. Finally, we pause before the towering Colossi of Memnon, two ancient guardians of forgotten glory.

Returning to the cruise, we begin our voyage upriver. Relax as the desert glows amber and gold, the Nile mirroring the evening sky.

Our day begins with a visit to Edfu Temple, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon god, its towering pylons and intact reliefs provide an astonishing glimpse into ancient worship.

In the late afternoon, we stop at Kom Ombo—a dual temple that once served both Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris. The symmetry and mythological symbolism here are captivating.

Back on board, we sail on toward Aswan, carried gently by the river’s ancient rhythm.

We awaken in the relaxed southern city of Aswan, infused with Nubian charm and heritage. The souks are full of colour and scent, perfect for a morning wander with your Anteros Travel rep.

Optional excursions today include a flight to Abu Simbel, the monumental temple complex built by Ramses II. Relocated piece by piece in the 1960s, these giant seated statues remain among the most impressive on earth.

You might also choose to visit the Nubian Museum—a beautifully curated tribute to a culture both ancient and enduring.

After breakfast, we disembark and continue our discoveries in Aswan. First, we visit the island temple of Philae, dedicated to Isis, goddess of love and magic. Its elegant columns and vivid carvings were saved from flooding and relocated stone by stone to higher ground.

We also stop by the Aswan High Dam—an engineering feat that reshaped modern Egypt.

In the afternoon, we glide on the Nile aboard a traditional felucca. This serene sailing experience is a gentle farewell to the river, with golden skies and desert silhouettes as your companions.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel in Aswan
Meals: Breakfast

Today your journey with Anteros Travel comes to an end—or perhaps just a pause. After breakfast, we say our farewells. But if you’re not ready to return home, we can help extend your stay.

Why not unwind on the Red Sea coast in Hurghada, Marsa Alam or Sharm El Sheikh? Or explore the White Desert’s surreal beauty? Alexandria’s classical splendour also awaits.
