What's Not Included
Day 1: Begin in Cairo
It's official... You're going to Egypt, and we're coming with you! Touchdown in Cairo, the capital, and settle in. Say hey to your new travel crew and group leader. By tonight, you'll basically be besties.
Day 2: Legends of Cairo
Give it up for the Great Pyramid of Giza! Iconic is an understatement for the only Ancient Wonder still standing. Think nothing can live up to that? Think again, because next up is the Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum.
Day 3: Aswan
Roll into the desert for sunrise. Set your sights on the Temple of Philae, before enjoying free time to explore Aswan or chill by the pool. Tonight we're heading to a stunning local gem called Elephantine Island, in perfect timing for sunset.
Day 4: River Nile
No denying those views! Set sail in our felucca, Egypt's original way to travel, and grab brunch on deck. Discover Edfu Temple, then drop your bags at Luxor tonight. Pick up more at the markets... Shopping time!
Day 5: Luxor
Best of Luxor, the local way! Hop on bikes and cross off your Egypt bucket list, from Valley of the Kings to Hatshepsut Temple and the Colossi of Memnon. Later, we'll wander over to Karnak Temple (and if you ask us, we've saved our best until last).
Day 6: Faiyum
Wake up in Cairo nice and early, taking a scenic detour to Faiyum. Your afternoon is free to experience a bit of city life. Roll up your sleeves this evening for our pottery class! Let's spin the wheel.
Day 7: Wadi Al Hitan
Sandy dunes are on the horizon. Let's dial up the adrenaline with a drive into the desert. Grab your sandboard, because it's time to surf! Race each other on the rides down.
Day 8: Return to Cairo
Cairo's calling! The sequel may even top the original. Enjoy a free afternoon to explore the famous markets. Time flies, because it's our final night together, so let's go out and celebrate!
Day 9: End in Cairo
That's a wrap! You've made new friends, ticked off those sights you've always dreamed of, and are now set for life when Egyptian history comes up in your next pub quiz. Until next time!
