Tour Itinerary

That calendar you live by—the one with 365 days divided into twelve months—you can thank the ancient Egyptians for the handy invention that helps you manage your time. In this 9-day vacation, you’ll marvel at many other amazing accomplishments of this remarkable civilization. The daunting Great Pyramids, the enigmatic Sphinx and the extraordinary temples of Luxor and Karnak are well worth the journey as are the sparkling treasures inside Cairo’s Egyptian Museum, including the fascinating burial items from the opulent tomb of “King Tut.” As you sail down the legendary Nile from Luxor to Aswan on this enthralling tour of Egypt, you’ll also stand in awe at the Kom Ombo Temple, barter for goods at the bustling bazaars, and sway to the rhythmic drums on a relaxing felucca ride down the Nile.

My husband and I booked a trip to Egypt and was thoroughly pleased with the experience. From the start of the trip the entire staff was pleasant and on point. There was someone there at all times to assist and support us. Our tour guide was exceptional and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend using Globus Tours.

The tour was amazing! We got to see a lot of Egypt and learned so much at the same time. Beware of very early wake up calls though, but this was what allowed us to see and do so much.

The tour was very good and we saw all that was highlighted on the itinerary prior to booking. We were a small group of 16; 13 of us had the same comment overall. THERE WERE AT LEAST 4 or 5 VERY EARLY WAKE-UPS (2:30am, 3:00am, 4:00am). Two of them were to accommodate very early flights to/from Luxor and Aswan. We all went on line and noticed that Egyptian Air had several flights that day but Globus chose the earlier as it was less expensive. We would have all gladly paid more for the tour to accommodate later wakeups. Two hours more sleep is very important when you are sightseeing all day. Globus should rearrange this schedule, add an xtra day or 2 and we would pay more of course but sleep is important. Also ahead of time it should have been BOLDED in the itinerary about wake ups times. I understand the earlier the better to see the sites. I had to cancel one of my night optionals because of exhaustion all day and then another early wakeup the next morning. I lost money on this optional.

I had the best time on my trip! Absolutely enjoyed the Nile River Cruise and the Guide provided for my trip

We had never travelled with Globus before this trip to South Africa..we would definitely like to go with them again. A small group experience was so much better than having a coach load of people. We have already recommended some friends to your company and did so on this holiday. It was the BEST holiday ever..beyond any expectations we had. Thank you for all of your help putting this journey of a life time together
