These and more exciting discoveries are to be found as you see Egypt’s incredible monuments to pharaohs and gods of Egyptian history.Fly to Luxor to embark on your Nile River cruise. You’ll visit the monument of Karnak with its ancient, Avenue of the Sphinxes and the Temple of Amun-Ra as well as Luxor Temple.

This incredible cruise on the Nile River takes you to amazing ancient sites, including the Temple of Edfu, twin temples at Kom Ombo, devoted to the crocodile god Sobek-Ra and the falcon god Horus. Ponder the magnitude of the task of building the pyramids with a visit to the granite quarries—where an unfinished obelisk still remains.

Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
This trip was amazing. Definitely the trip of a lifetime. Each day was packed with things to do - so plan to end the day tired. You will also do a lot of walking so be prepared for that. You will have the opportunity to experience Egypt/Jordan from ancient to current times. You will not regret this experience!
This adventure far exceeded our expectations.
