Egypt in Style
January 20 to February 02, 2020
Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, this is the perfect time for you to see Egypt, with its incredible monuments, temples, artifacts and history. Cruise along Lake Nasser to discover the seldom-visited Nubian temples and along the Nile witness time standing still evidenced by the rhythm of life along its banks. Visit all of the sites that one expects to see in an itinerary offering an overview of the history of the region. Stop in Edfu and Kom Ombo to see the remains of temples. Tour the west and east banks of ancient Thebes, modern day Luxor. Explore the local market in Aswan and the Khan el Khalili bazaar in Cairo for a slice of life both past and present. Of course, no itinerary would be complete without a stop at some of the oldest attractions in the world, the colossal pyramids of Giza and the mysterious Sphinx. Let this superbly-crafted exploration of Egypt captivate you with the bountiful treasures of ancient times and the hospitality of modern natives.
Includes 5 nights Luxury private sailing yacht on the Nile
Sailing the Nile...aboard a Dahabiya
Also spelled (dahabeah, dahabeeyah, dahabiah, , dahabiyah and Dahabia) . These river-going sailboats were common in Egypt in the days of the monarchy (1880-1940s) when travelers loved to cruise the Nile in style. We've revived those elegant days, but with modern comforts and facilities. It is an original and peaceful option to navigate on the river Nile and discover the most singular places of the landscape in a more intimate setting while in absolute luxury, exploring some of Egypt’s ancient sites in the same manner as those nearly 100 years before you.
