PACKAGE OVERVIEW
Egypt – Nile Cruise Add-On is a journey through one of the world’s greatest civilisations, delivered in the most comfortable way possible — by river.
Rather than hopping cities and packing sites into long road days, this itinerary uses a luxury Nile cruise as the backbone, allowing travellers to explore ancient temples at a measured pace while enjoying modern comfort.
Cairo provides the essential context with the pyramids and museums, while Upper Egypt delivers depth through monumental temple complexes.
This package works equally well as a standalone cultural trip or as a post-safari extension after East or Southern Africa.
