Perfectly designed to blend the wonders of ancient and modern Egypt—as well as showcase the country’s greatest natural and manmade treasures—this itinerary takes you across beautiful Lake Nasser to see mighty Abu Simbel, down the legendary Nile River, and into the heart of bustling Cairo. Discover ancient Egypt’smost exciting sites: the awe-inspiring Pyramids and mysterious Great Sphinx of Giza; the majestic Temples of Karnak and Luxor; the splendidly preserved Temple of Edfu; and Wadi El Seboua, the “Valley of the Lionesses.” The Nubian jewels you’ll find on this itinerary aren’t available on any of our other tours.

Cruise onboard Prince Abbas across stunningly beautiful Lake Nasser—the world’s largest artificial body of water. Along the way, encounter Nubian treasures and the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel—a 3,500-year-old complex displaying magnificent structures hewed from the rock during the rule of Ramses II and later rescued from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. Visit the impressive Aswan High Dam that created this remarkably remote and unspoiled lake in the 1960s. Then transfer to the River Tosca to discover all the wonders the great Nile River Valley has to offer.
