Experience the mythical wonders and ancient treasures of Egypt and the Nile
Uniworld designed its newest itinerary, Classic Egypt & the Nile, to take you into the heart of ancient Egypt where you will discover all of its amazing wonders. You'll be swept away by romantic history and powerful legends as you explore this historic land.
Spend time in the mysterious city of Cairo where the ancient and the modern coexist in perfect harmony. Come face-to-face with the enigmatic Sphinx. Take in the extraordinary sight of the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the 4,000- year-old Great Pyramid of Giza.
Traverse the Nile onboard the beautiful River Tosca. Let yourself be whisked away to magnificent sites: the Karnak Temple—known to the Egyptians as "The Most Perfect of Places" - with avenues of sphinxes and halls of gigantic columns; the Temple of Hathor - one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, which contains a rare depiction of Cleopatra and her son Caesarion; the Valley of the Kings, where many illustrious pharaohs were buried; Kom Ombo, the temple dedicated to two gods; and romantic Philae Temple, which rises from the waters of the Nile on the island of Agilika.
