Fly to Aswan and Abu Simbel to explore a 3,300 year-old temple built by Ramses II. Originally carved into a hillside facing the Nile, the imposing monument was famously rescued from the rising waters of the Aswan Dam. Settle into your luxurious Presidential Suite aboard the Sonesta St. George I for an unforgettable four-day cruise through the glories of ancient Egypt. Enjoy a boat excursion to the island temple of Philae, and take in a spectacular sound and light show. Visit the beautifully preserved sandstone Temple of Horus, one of the finest examples of Ptolemaic art in Egypt. In Luxor, you’ll have the chance to visit the Valley of Kings, famous for its royal tombs. For over five hundred years, the kings of the New Kingdom were buried in this valley, making it the world’s most magnificent burial ground.
DAY 9 - Luxor
After disembarking in Luxor, we take a horse carriage ride to visit the incredible Luxor Museum. Our accommodations are in the elegant Sonesta St. George Hotel in deluxe rooms overlooking the Nile.
DAYS 10 - 12 - Cairo
The final stop on this magical journey, Cairo, is a fusion of old and new—where modern skyscrapers and ancient monuments stand side by side with features of Islamic, Christian, Coptic and Jewish cultures. We stay at the Four Seasons Hotel at The First Residence, a gracious sanctuary on the west bank of the Nile with impressive views of the pyramids. Enjoy an evening at the home of an Egyptian family with cocktails and dinner. Explore the famous Khan El Khalili Souk, largely unchanged since the 14th century, and wander through small, narrow alleys lined with old shops. You will return home with treasured memories of this grand journey into the past.
