About this tour
Egypt is two tours in one. There is the pharaonic Egypt everyone pictures, Giza, the Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings, and there is Islamic Cairo, which most itineraries skip almost entirely. We do both properly.
The middle of the trip is spent on the river. Three nights on a five-star Nile cruise from Aswan down to Luxor, stopping at Kom Ombo and Edfu, is the most restful way to see Upper Egypt and by some distance the most pleasant.
In Old Cairo we visit the Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque, the first mosque built anywhere in Africa, founded in 641 CE. The Grand Egyptian Museum and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, including the Royal Mummies Hall, complete the picture.
