12 Days in Cairo and NileCruise and RedSea
Overview
Go on a 12-day Egypt holiday that feels unforgettable, because it ties together history, culture, and then, yes, a bit of calm. Start in Cairo where you can wander past the famous Pyramids of Giza, stop by the Great Sphinx, and see the highlights of the Grand Egyptian Museum. Then continue to Aswan, to jump on a luxurious 5-star Nile Cruise, cruising through the very center of ancient Egypt while you visit impressive temples and archaeological places that you don’t quite forget.
You’ll also see Philae Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, Edfu Temple, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, which feels oddly personal when you’re there. After soaking up Egypts rich past, head onward to Hurghada on the Red Sea. There, crystal-clear water, lovely beaches, and top-tier resorts set you up nicely for unwinding. If you end up snorkeling or diving, or choose a desert safari, or just sit around by the sea, this trip keeps a good mix, equal parts excitement and slow relaxation.
