Overview

Walk among the Pyramids of Giza, enjoy a serene Nile cruise and discover Aswan’s impressive sites as you embark on this 11-day tour. Explore the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple and more as you travel from Cairo to Aswan, Luxor and beyond. 

Your journey begins in Cairo with a guided tour of Giza’s iconic pyramids and the enigmatic Sphinx. Immerse yourself among the Egyptian Museum's pharaonic antiquities and Old Cairo's Coptic churches before boarding a flight to Aswan. This serene Nile city is known for its stunning river views and ancient temples. Aswan is Egypt’s main source of pink and black granite, highly prized for monuments and shrines - the pyramids of Giza among them. Take a tour of the Aswan High Dam, one of the world’s most expensive projects, where the temples of Philae and Abu Simbel (optional excursion) were relocated above the water line. Gain an insight into ancient architecture with a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, then board a Nile River ship to cruise towards the island of Kom Ombo. Explore the twin temples dedicated to the Egyptian gods Sobek, the crocodile god, and the falcon-headed Horus with your Egyptologist guide. Sail on to discover Edfu’s impressive Temple of Horus, then make a brief stop in Esna en route to Luxor. Walk along a sphinx-lined avenue where pharaohs once walked to enter the Temple of Karnak with its vast colonnaded halls and towering obelisk.

Disembark your Nile cruise for a tour of the Valley of the Kings, where centuries-old pharaohs rest eternally in a hand-painted afterlife. Visit tombs emblazoned with colourful hieroglyphic scenes, admire the terraces of Hatshepsut’s magnificent temple, and glimpse the famous Colossi of Memnon. Finally, return to the buzz of Cairo with ample time to dive into the chaos of the souk markets or snap a last photo with the Sphinx before your flight home.

Discover Egypt’s ancient treasures with return international flights and 2 internal flights, 3-night 4-star Nile River cruise, 5 nights of 4-star hotel accommodation, plus 14 meals, including all while cruising and more.

Gratuities / tipping

Gratuities (tips) are not included for the services of the guide, ship crew, hotel porters and driver throughout the tour. The highly recommended tip is $10 USD per person, per day to cover all services.
Please note: In Egypt, tipping is a firm and customary element of the tourism industry and is therefore highly recommended. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a common practice in Egypt and a gesture of appreciation which is shared amongst the local guides, drivers and other staff members who have serviced your tour. As most tour guides in Egypt consider tipping a part of their income, please don’t feel intimidated should the tour guides approach you for payment.

Other important information

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide: 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader: 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured. 

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES

• March, as Spring gets underway the temperatures rise, but the day-to-day weather is rarely excessively hot. The daytime temperature typically reaches a high of 25°C around mid-March, though the average is a degree or two higher than that towards the end of the month.
• In May, the tourist season is in full swing in Cairo and the weather is already very warm. The average temperature reaches a high of 32°C during the day and at night only dips to a low of around 18°C.

• The hot summer weather intensifies further in June and July, with an average daytime maximum temperature of 37°C, and an average minimum temperature of 22°C. Temperatures rarely fluctuate by more than a few degrees either side of the long-term average. You can expect no rain during this month and there are 13 hours of sunlight each day on average.

FLIGHTS
Seat Selection & Frequent Flyer Points:
We do not arrange seat selection. It is essential to highlight that some airlines do not allow pre-selected seats. We strongly suggest you contact the airline directly with seating allocation requirements and/or arrive at the airport earlier to arrange your seating. While we do not add frequent flyer member details to bookings, you can do this directly with the airline once you have your flight information.

Passport Validity:
Customers must provide valid passport details either at the time of purchase or no later than 45 days before the departure date. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the booking. Customers will be responsible for any costs and fees incurred in this instance.

COACH TOUR
Meals:
For meals not included, the tour leader (when available) will offer assistance with reservations, suggestions and directions to local restaurants. It is your responsibility to notify us of any dietary requests/requirements. 
Please note: We will do our best to meet your requests/requirements; however, we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to.

Luggage:
You will be responsible for all your personal belongings whilst on tour. You must carry your own luggage from the vehicle to the hotel room and back to the vehicle. The driver will assist with the uploading and unloading of bags from the vehicle.

OTHER
Mobility:
If you require wheelchair access please contact our friendly sales and service team to inquire on your behalf.

Fitness Level Required:
A moderate level of fitness will be required. Expect a moderate pace of touring with a focus on guided tours that may include full days with extended activity, guided city tours or nature walks. You will require a general level of fitness for unassisted navigation of stairs and inclines, longer distances with possible periods of standing when visiting sites, walking on sloping, uneven ground or elevations. You will be responsible for your own luggage and have the ability to board all modes of transport without assistance. Please note: Many areas may be inaccessible to wheelchairs or mobility scooters, where the unassisted use of personal walking sticks and other aids may be required. Although some assistance may be available, every traveller should be self-reliant during all aspects of their travel.
Please note: It is expected that every traveller must be self-reliant and able to undertake all aspects of their own travel. Please speak to your booking agent about your personal circumstances and any assistance requirements to ensure this tour is right for you.
Please note: If you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider prior to purchase/travel.

Sightseeing:
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).

Shopping: 
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts. 
Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding shopping for further information.

Visas

A tourist visa is a strict requirement when travelling to Egypt on an Australian passport or New Zealand passport. The tourist visas’ are available for purchase upon arrival. To pay for a tourist visa on entry, you must have a non-Egyptian credit card or US dollars in cash. Bring the required amount, as ATMs may not disperse USD or other foreign currency.
Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.
