Overview

The Best of Egypt & Family Nile Cruise Adventure


Our luxury ‘Trios’ tour first ignites your senses in the frenetic, addictive city of Cairo. From the Pyramids of Giza to the ancient Mediterranean metropolis of Alexandria, the wonders of the first few days prime your senses. And when you walk the gangway to your luxury Nile cruise who can fail to recall classic tales from Agatha Christie and the dulcet tones of Hercule Poirot.

As each spectacle unfolds the country further captivates. From the famous High Dam of Aswan to the ancient city of Luxor, each phenomenon is yet more fascinating. Indulge your inner Indiana Jones at the Valley of the Kings, marvel at the architectural enormity of Luxor Temple, Karnak, and Hatshepsut, and prepare for an adrenaline-fueled balloon ride over deep desert tombs to celebrate the return of the Egyptian god, Ra, as the sun rises from slumber to bathe the Earth below.

Following all the excitement it’s time to relax at the wonderful resort city of Hurghada. Snorkel the breathtaking coral reef, bathe in the warm waters of the Red Sea, dune bash the Saharan sands in 4x4s, or simply kick back and embrace some well-earned R&R.

Enjoy an early breakfast before boarding our transport at 08:00 am to visit The Egyptian Museum, where you will explore the history of ancient Egypt as you take a tour of this huge palace with 107 halls, showcasing ancient Egyptian artefacts. See huge statues of kings, gods, and goddesses on the ground floor, while the upper floor houses small statues, jewels. It is the Oldest Egyptian antique museum in the world, and definitely the most interesting landmark in Cairo displays from the rare collection of 5000 years of art, which is considered the largest most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. Over 250,000 genuine artifacts are presented.

We lunch at local Restaurant before heading to what is probably the most famous landmark in the world, the Pyramids of Giza. Forget what you’ve read, forget the pictures you’ve seen, because nothing will prepare you for the awe-inspiring emotions you’ll experience when you first set eyes on the only ancient wonder of the world that still exists today—The Great Pyramid. These marvels of ancient architectural skill are guarded over by the steely gaze of The Sphinx, and we have plenty of time to get up close and personal with these behemoth structures.

DAY 3 - Cairo / Aswan | High Dam - Unfinish Obelisk - Philae

We breakfast at the hotel before heading to the airport for the short flight to Aswan. On arrival we transfer to our luxury boat ready for the highly anticipated Nile Cruise. After a 12:00 check-in we enjoy lunch on board, before visiting the High Dam. This significant structure was completed in 1970 and not only provides a constant supply of renewable energy for the whole country but, even more importantly, ended the cycle of drought and floods that plagued the Nile region. We then take a motorboat ride to the Temple of Philae. This impressive structure, constructed to honor the goddess of Isis, stands on an island in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam. We then head to the enormity that is the Unfinished Obelisk. This fascinating monolithic monument lies in a bed of granite and was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut over 3,500 years ago. Had it been finished it would’ve been around a third larger than any other previously erected obelisk. We then head back to our boat for dinner and enjoy music.

DAY 5 - Edfu Temple by horse carriage - Karnak Temple - Luxor Temple

Early visit to Edfu, our next sensory fix is more than satisfied by a visit to the impressive Ptolemaic Temple of Horus. This mighty structure was completed somewhere between 230 to 57 BC. It’s one of the largest temples in all of Egypt and, most importantly, is incredibly preserved. This is thanks to the wonders of the desert sand, which filled and covered the structure following the banning of the pagan cult that worshipped there. Today it’s possible to visit once again, thanks to excavation works that began back in the mid-19th century. We then sail through the modern village of Esna, heading for our last port of call for today, the ancient city of Luxor, enjoying afternoon tea as we go. After all the incredible sights already seen, you might think that this metropolis can offer no more—but think again. Not only is Luxor home to the world’s largest open-air museum, but it’s one of the most archeologically rich places in the world. After we dock before we visit the wonders of Karnak Temple. These awe-inspiring constructions are linked by the famous Avenue of Sphinxes. At 3km long you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for the cartouche of Cleopatra, bestowed when she visited the temples with Marc Antony dinner on board and a fun Galabia Party. This traditional Egyptian costume includes a long dress (worn by both men and women) and a beautiful headpiece adorned with much bling! It’s a lively evening enjoyed by all. Be sure to get a few hours’ sleep ready for an exciting day tomorrow. . AL JAMILA NILE CRUISE Meals: Breakfast,Lunch,Dinner.
