Splendors both natural and manmade will capture your mind and beguile your heart

Perfectly designed to blend the wonders of ancient and modern Egypt - as well as showcase the country's greatest natural and manmade treasures—this cruise/tour package 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's most exciting sites: the awe-inspiring Pyramids and mysterious Great Sphinx of Giza; the majestic Temple of Karnak; 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.

Plus, you'll cruise onboard Prince Abbas, a five-star lake cruise ship, across the stunningly beautiful Lake Nasser - the world's largest artificial body of water to awe-inspiring Abu Simbel. Visit the impressive Aswan High Dam that created this remarkably remote and unspoiled lake in the 1960s. Then transfer to the luxurious River Tosca to sail the Nile as you take in all the wonders the great Nile River Valley has to offer.

Who will enjoy this cruise: This trip provides the perfect blend of touring great Egyptian monuments, cruising Lake Nasser and the Nile River, and sightseeing in Cairo. It's a real connoisseur's delight of everything Egyptian - from famous cultural artifacts to unspoiled natural beauty.
