Hopefully I will be able to share some posts from the road and I'll be having a grand adventure.
Here's a sneak peak at my schedule.
Day 1 Arrive Cairo
Arrive in Cairo at any time.
Day 2 Cairo (B,D)
Explore the Great Pyramids at Giza and the famous Sphinx, perhaps topping off your visit with an optional camel ride. Buzzing with activity, Cairo is a mix of modern and ancient wonders. Be amazed by the treasures in the Egyptian Museum before boarding an overnight train to Aswan.
Days 3-4 Aswan (2B,D)
Visit a Nubian village on Elephantine Island. Find out about the way of life here as we have the unique opportunity to be invited for an authentic dinner in a local home. The following day take the opportunity to explore what many consider to be one of Egypt's most impressive temples, Abu Simbel.
Day 5 Felucca (B,L,D)
Spend a day and night aboard our felucca, a traditional Nile sailing boat. Kick back, relax and enjoy the scenery, as you are looked after by our Nubian crew. Take full advantage of our one of a kind support boat, which always seems to conveniently appear when you most need it for meals, cold drinks, or a quick shower to cool yourself off.
Days 6-7 Luxor (2B)
Explore Luxor and its surrounding highlights, such as Karnak Temple and the Luxor Museum. Ride a donkey "Egyptian style" to the West Bank and visit the incredible Valley of the Kings.
Day 8 Cairo (B)
Returning to Cairo by plane on the morning of our final day, our tour concludes on arrival at Cairo International Airport.
