Day	Itinerary Highlights
Day 1: Cairo: Welcome to Egypt	Egypt, a land synonymous with ancient pyramids, awe-inspiring temples, and the legendary pharaohs, offers an experience far richer than its monumental history. Dinner Included.
Day 2: Giza: The Great Pyramid, Sphinx, & Community Farming	Consider the sheer, staggering scale of the undertaking required to construct these pyramids and contemplate the ancient ingenuity while you marvel at their impressive structures. Breakfast & Lunch Included.
Day 3: Aswan: Your OMG day	There’s nothing quite like the freedom of choice while travelling. After flying from Cairo to Aswan you will choose to explore one of two incredible Egyptian temples. Breakfast & Lunch Included.
Day 4: Aswan to Kom Ombo: Sailing the Nile	Your journey north begins today along the Nile aboard a traditional dahabiya. Sail past farmlands and small islands that have forever been bathed by rich nutrients, creating fertile land in a narrow green ribbon along the river’s banks, surrounded by desert on both sides. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included.
Day 5: Kom Ombo to Luxor: People along the Nile	The sails are up and your first full day of sailing on the Nile. Get ready to discover incredible sites and enjoy an experience only possible on your dahabiya. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included.
Day 6: Egypt’s Great Temples & Local Hospitality	Embark on an early morning excursion to delve into the tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the temples of the West Bank. While tales of ancient curses persist, the genuine challenge lies in the limited time available to thoroughly explore each tomb. Breakfast & Lunch Included.
Day 7: Luxor: Departure Day	Your adventure comes to an end, and you can depart at any time today. You may be leaving Egypt behind, but the experiences you have will last forever. Breakfast Included.

Welcome to Egypt — where ancient legends and everyday life meet in the most unforgettable ways. This week-long journey invites you to go beyond the postcard pyramids (though yes, you’ll see those too) and dive into the heart of this captivating country. Cruise down the Nile on a graceful dahabiya, swap stories over a home-cooked meal with a local family, and get wonderfully lost in the wonder of hieroglyphs, golden tombs, and bustling Cairo streets. From grand temples to quiet countryside scenes, every day offers a little magic and a lot of meaning.
