9-day Egypt Journeys

Immerse Yourself in Nine Days of Unrivaled Historical Discovery
A nine-day trip gives you the ideal timeframe for an Egyptian expedition. Shorter express trips often feel rushed. However, 9-Day Egypt Journeys allow you to explore ancient sites at a comfortable pace. Therefore, you can experience these famous monuments in the best light alongside expert Egyptology guides.
We carefully design our 9-Day Egypt Journeys for travelers who want a complete cultural experience. First, you will explore the vibrant historical treasures across Cairo. Next, you will enjoy an extended four-night luxury Nile river cruise. Finally, you can discover incredible southern monuments like Abu Simbel. As a result, this classic itinerary balances rich historical exploration with total relaxation.

Tailored 9-Day Expedition Categories

  • The Classical Nile & Abu Simbel Route: First-time visitors love this comprehensive option. You spend three nights in Cairo and four nights on a Nile cruise ship. Additionally, you visit the grand Sun Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel via a quick flight or comfortable transfer.
  • The Grand Antiquities & Royal Tombs Route: Archaeology enthusiasts prefer this focused itinerary. You explore the famous Giza Plateau and Karnak Temple. Furthermore, you spend extra time inside the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, and the ancient workers’ village at Deir el-Medina.
  • The Dual-River Luxury Dahabiya Experience: Discerning travelers choose this exclusive private option. You board a traditional wooden Dahabiya sailboat instead of a large vessel. Consequently, you sail peacefully between Luxor and Aswan while visiting quiet river islands and secluded temples.
