Egypt Express

Arrive into Cairo and make your way to your starting accommodation. Chill at the hotel, or plunge straight into the bustling city. You'll meet your group this evening and get to know the gang over a local meal.

This morning's destinations are the iconic Giza Pyramids and Sphinx - a real bucket-list moment. After, head back to Cairo for a tour of Khan el-Khalili Bazaar and pick up some handicrafts or tuck into some falafel. This evening, board the sleeper train to Aswan.

Wake up as the train rolls into Aswan. You've got a free morning to explore the city. Visit the souks, discover Philae Temple, or join an optional tour of the city. In the afternoon, cruise down the Nile to a Nubian village where you'll enjoy a home-cooked meal with the locals.

Discover more of the tranquil riverside city at your own pace today. Trawl the souks, visit the botanical gardens or just sit back with a mint tea and watch the world go by. We've also got an optional trip to the unforgettable twin temples of Abu Simbel.

We're taking to the river today on board a traditional wooden boat known as a felucca. Head to Aswan Bridge before disembarking. Travel to Luxor with a stop en route at Kom Ombo Temple. Arrive into Luxor in the afternoon and explore the city. Visit the Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Mummification Museum, or take a tour of the East Bank

Today is yours to explore Luxor. We have an epic optional excursion to the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. If that's not for you, spend your time exploring the beauties of Luxor.

We'll make our way by ferry to the West Bank where our guide will be waiting for us. Hop on a bike and join the team in exploring the village before making our way to the Funtasia Project Center.
