Reviews

A well-known archaeologist once said that no matter where you stick a spade in Egypt, you'd have a fair chance of finding ancient artefacts! In fact, there’s probably no other country in the world that boasts such a wealth of ancient antiquities - the focal point of this particular trip.

We spend two full days in Cairo, exploring a number of monuments dating back to the Old Kingdom. Principal among these are the superb tombs at Saqqara, a blueprint of life and times during this period.

Arriving in Aswan we visit the celebrated Temple of Ramses II, at Abu Simbel, and the exquisite Temple of Isis, at Philae, before boarding our Nile riverboat for a magical cruise downriver to Luxor. Our boat has a great on-board atmosphere, with comfortable airconditioned cabins – each with their own private shower and toilet. In addition there is a cosy restaurant, where all meals are served, and a rooftop bar.

The spacious top deck is ideal for sunbathing and relaxing, with excellent views of the river.

Arriving in Luxor we visit the Valley of the Kings, the beautiful Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and explore the colossal temple complex at Karnak before making our way back to Cairo.

For those seeking a deeper appreciation of Ancient Egypt, this is a fascinating journey of discovery.
