About This Tour
Nine days that bring the great highlights of Egypt together in one journey: the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara in Cairo, the temples of Abu Simbel, the city of Aswan, the temples along the Nile at Kom Ombo, Esna and Edfu, both banks of Luxor, and finally Dendera and Abydos.
You travel privately with your own Egyptologist guide. All transport is included, the domestic flights from Cairo to Aswan and back from Luxor to Cairo as well as every transfer on the ground. Every site is explained in depth, at your own pace and far from the rush of the large groups.
