EGYPT HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

If you have never felt the eerie atmosphere in the Burial Chamber of the Great Pyramid, or tried to decipher the intricate hieroglyphics at the entrance of a Pharaoh’s tomb, you must visit Egypt.

Few places reveal an ancient civilisation so vividly as the Temple at Karnak, or portray it smiling down as enigmatically as the Sphinx. Our Classic Egypt itinerary includes a cruise along the Nile from Luxor to Aswan, as well as a trip in a traditional sailing felucca over to Kitchener’s Island. Along the way, you’ll visit all the great Egyptian must-sees such as the Valley of the Kings, Colossi Memnon, Abu Simbel, Ramesis II’s temples and more.

Day 1-3

CAIRO

Upon arrival in Cairo, you’ll be met and taken to your luxury hotel, just 45 minutes’ drive away.

You’ll be able to see the Great Pyramid as soon as you wake up the next day – your hotel room gives you grand views of one of the ancient world’s most iconic buildings. A full day guided tour will give you a close up view of the Great Pyramid of Cheops as you wander through passageways leading to the impressive burial chamber. You’ll visit the enigmatic Sphinx at Giza and the smaller Pyramids of Pharaohs Chepren and Mycerinus, plus the tombs of their queens and princesses. Your walk through an ancient civilisation continues with the Mortuary Temples and the amazing Valley Temple of Chephren. Then come trips to see the Solar Boat, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara and the atmospheric capital of Memphis.

You’ll explore the culture and history of Egypt even further on the following day with visits to the Egyptian Museum and the treasures of Tutankhamun, plus the Citadel of Saladin, the Mosque of Mohamed Ali and the dizzying bazaars of Khan el Khalili.

Stay: Three nights in a Deluxe Partial Pyramids View Room at the Marriott Mena House Hotel – including breakfast

NILE CRUISE FROM LUXOR TO ASWAN

Your luxury modern river cruiser will take you across the river to give you the opportunity to stroll through the forest of decorative columns that is the Temple of Karnak and Luxor. The next day you’ll find yourself on the West Bank of the Nile where you can visit the astonishing Valley of the Kings with its underground tombs lined with hieroglyphics. Over a soaring ridge is the Valley of the Queens, and you’ll be able to discover the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at El-Deir, El-Bahari and the mighty Colossi Memnon. Then it’s time to sail to Esna where you’ll be moored overnight and enjoy on-board feasting and entertainment.

From Esna you cruise along the Nile to Edfu, home to the renowned Horus Temple, and onwards to Kom Ombo where you’ll visit a temple dedicated to two gods; Sobek and Haeroris. On your final day aboard the Sonesta St George you’ll arrive at Aswan where you’ll be guided around the High Dam and have the opportunity to visit the Philae Temple and the Unfinished Obelisk. In the afternoon you’ll cruise to Kitchener’s Island and its wonderful botanical gardens in a different style of rivercraft; a traditional sailing felucca.

Stay: Four nights in a Double Suite aboard the H/S Nebu Nile Cruiser – including all meals and sightseeing

You’ll also have the opportunity of taking a scenic flight to Abu Simbel to visit the relocated temples of Ramses II and marvel at the engineering excellence of 12,000 BC.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. 91ºÚÁÏÍø gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate†really is “91ºÚÁÏÍøâ€!

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91ºÚÁÏÍø and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
