Discover the highlights of ancient Egypt on this easy, well-paced trip built around a short Nile cruise from Cairo to Luxor and on to Aswan. You'll start among the Pyramids of Giza, fly south to Luxor to board your cruise, then sail past Edfu and Kom Ombo to Aswan — visiting the great temples, the Valley of the Kings, Philae and the colossal monuments of Abu Simbel along the way. It's a wonderful first taste of Egypt in just nine days.
