Cairo and Nile Cruise Packages

Seven days is the minimum that does both halves justice: two nights in Cairo for the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then a four-day, three-night cruise. Eight days adds a second Cairo night or a fourth on the river. Anything shorter means rushing one half, and the internal flight makes a tight trip tighter.

Yes – a one-hour internal flight links Cairo with Luxor or Aswan, and we include it in the package. The overnight sleeper train is the slower alternative some travelers prefer. Either way we handle the transfer, the timing, and the luggage so the changeover is seamless.

It is the first-visit itinerary. It puts the two things almost everyone comes to Egypt for – the Pyramids and the river temples – in one trip, with a private Egyptologist guide throughout and a 5-star ship handling the logistics between Luxor and Aswan. Families, couples and solo travelers all do this shape.

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) sits beside the Pyramids at Giza and holds the full Tutankhamun collection. We include it on the Cairo leg of this package. It has largely replaced the old Tahrir Square museum for the headline collection, though both can be visited if you want the contrast.
