Your 10 days Egypt tour begins at the Giza Pyramids & ends sailing the Nile. Private guides, full board cruise, & all transfers included. Send your inquiry today!
Memphis Tours' 10 day Egypt tour is the only classic Egypt package that combines Cairo's iconic ancient wonders with a unique round-trip Nile cruise — sailing from Luxor to Aswan and back on the MS Mayfair Nile Cruise for six luxurious nights. Your journey begins in Cairo with three days exploring the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), housing the world's largest collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts. You then fly to Luxor to board the MS Mayfair, where six full-board nights of Nile sailing take you south to Aswan and north again through Egypt's ancient heartland. Along the way, guided shore excursions reveal the best-preserved temple in Egypt at Edfu, the twin-deity Temple of Kom Ombo, the serene Philae Temple on its Nile island, the royal necropolis of the Valley of the Kings, the terraced Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, the soaring Colossi of Memnon, and the vast hypostyle hall of Karnak Temple. An optional excursion to the rock-cut Temples of Abu Simbel is also available from Aswan. Every detail — private guides, domestic flight, hotel, meals, transfers, and entrance fees — is fully managed by Memphis Tours."

Day 2 Giza Pyramids & the Grand Egyptian Museum

The vessel completes its passage to Luxor overnight. After breakfast, cross to the West Bank to descend into the painted burial chambers of the Valley of the Kings, the royal cemetery beneath the Theban hills. -
Day 9 Luxor East Bank & Return to Cairo
Breakfast on board, then disembark to explore the East Bank. Visit the vast Karnak Temple Complex, where the Great Hypostyle Hall's 134 columns still carry traces of their original color, and the ceremonial Luxor Temple linked to it by the restored Avenue of Sphinxes. -
Day 10 Departure from Cairo
