Trip at a Glance

Guarantee your 2009 price with our Good Buy Plan

Egypt is a land of superlatives: the largest and most ancient temple complexes in the world ... the grandest, most inspiring pyramids ... the priceless treasure of Tutankhamun ... and some of the friendliest, most welcoming people. What you've only seen in books—what you've dreamed of since childhood—will come to life. Explore the kaleidoscopic city that is Cairo, where ancient tradition thrives in a modern metropolis. Stand in awe among the Pyramids of Giza. And sail for seven nights along the Nile, where daily riverside life unfolds as it has for countless centuries, and where time stands still in glorious temples. You'll enjoy cruising aboard our privately owned Nile river ship, and relax knowing that we monitor your trip's every step from our Cairo office. It all adds up to an Egyptian odyssey of the best quality and unmatched Grand Circle value.
