Experiences of a lifetime
Cruise the Nile in search of ancient Egyptian temples and antiquities on a 10-day journey that includes 4 nights aboard a luxury riverboat, and shore excursions in Aswan, Luxor, and Old Cairo. Begin with visits to the Great Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza, with an overnight stay at Mena House, a luxury hotel with gardens and terraces overlooking the pyramids. Fly to Luxor for private visits to the tombs of Tutankhamun and Nefertari, then set off on a Nile River odyssey to sites that include the Temples of Karnak and the Avenue of Sphinxes... the twin Castle of the Falcon and House of the Crocodile, with its collection of crocodile mummies, at Kom Ombo... the massive, stunningly preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu... the Philae Temples on Agilika Island, a complex of temples, sculptures, and monuments that span architectural periods from ancient Egyptian to Byzantine... Abu Simbel, the grand lakeside temple with colossal statues of Ramses II, cut from the side of a mountain; in 1968 Abu Simbel was disassembled and moved to its present location, a feat of engineering as astonishing as the temple itself. With only 22 luxury suites your Oberoi riverboat offers spacious accommodations, large windows, and panoramic views. Shore excursions include felucca boat rides, a camel ride to Saint Simone Monastery, a photo-stop at the Dahshur Pyramids, dining at local restaurants, and visits to Old Cairo landmarks, including the Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, the Al Rifai Mosque, and the Khan El-Khalili Market.

Most Memorable Moment:

We traveled to Egypt with Tauck just after the revolution. I never felt anxious at all traveling with the Tauck team (Tauck tour director, an Egyptologist and an armed guard). Egypt was incredible and hotels were first class (Four Seasons in Alexandria and the Mena House Oberon are memorable). Don't hesitate to see these monuments!
Most Memorable Moment:
Seeing King Tut in his tomb. Or perhaps it was the private tour of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. I can't forget walking on the beach of the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria either. Oh, and the hot air balloon trip over the Nile was exceptional.
