Description

Is there a more romantic notion than a cruise down the Nile? A land shrouded in mystery and ancient history awaits you as you embark on this relaxing holiday.

Although this is a true adventure, you don't have to worry about long hikes or treks. This is a relaxing holiday which will show you the many highlights of Egypt at a comfortable place. You will see the ancient pyramids and the enigmatic Sphinx before heading south to Luxor.

In ancient times, Luxor was known as Thebes and offers you an outstanding collection of tombs and temples - including the Valley of the Kings, which you will visit on donkeys.
