Cairo and Giza: The Pyramids and The Sphinx
An awe-inspiring train journey from Vancouver to Jasper
From Cairo, we’ll fly to Luxor, the site of the ancient city of Thebes, and start our first full day of sightseeing with a visit to the striking Luxor Temple, with its towering columns and statues of Ramses II. Then we’ll board the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer, an elegant river cruiser that will be our home on the river for the next four nights
Decorated in a contemporary style, the ship’s design combines modern Egyptian culture with 7,000 years of heritage. The Nile Adventurer offers 28 standard cabins, two junior suites and two presidential suites (which have private balconies). Each ensuite room features Nile views, air conditioning, a mini bar, an LCD television with satellite and a private bathroom with a bathtub and shower. Outside, there are extensive sun decks with elegant teak floors, a heated swimming pool, private cabanas, a shaded bar and a lounging terrace.
As we wind our way along the Nile, we’ll enjoy incredible meals prepared by an onboard chef. And we’ll be checking out some of the world’s oldest and most awe-inspiring sights.
For instance:
- The Necropolis of Thebes and Colossi of Memnon
- The architecturally stunning Temple of Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt’s first female pharaoh
- The Valley of the Kings, the burial ground of pharaohs and a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- The Temple of Karnak, where generations of pharaohs recorded their names
- The Temple of Khnum, renowned for its superb art and hieroglyphics
The Temple of Horus
Back on land in Cairo, we’ll drive to Sakkara, site of hundreds of tombs and 14 pyramids, including the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser. Then we can choose from one of several optional tours: “Discover Coptic Cairo,” “Discover Islamic Cairo,” or “Relax Aboard a Felucca” (viewing the city from a local’s perspective; sailing in a small craft). To wrap it all up, we’ll gather with our fellow guests for a farewell dinner, reflecting on an incredible journey.
Space is limited to 18 guests, so contact us to book your spot today! Prices start at $7,995 per person, depending on cabin (based on double occupancy) plus $685 internal air per person. (Single Supplement starts at $2,595, depending on cabin)
