Ancient monuments meet ocean magic in this unforgettable tour
From dusty tombs to deep blue seas this was the coolest trip I’ve ever taken. I loved the Nile cruise so much I wanted to stay an extra week – the food was delicious and waking up to a river sunrise is something everyone should experience once. Ending in Sharm was perfect timing. I took a desert safari and laughed the entire way. The silence out there under the stars was humbling
✨🌅🐫
Shelby Pickens –
The best way to see Egypt’s many sides
This 13-day journey was thoughtfully designed. We never stayed too long or too short anywhere. My favorite moment was the early morning balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings – it was silent except for the occasional roar of the flame and I actually teared up. Sharm was all beach and bliss. Every view looked like a postcard
Travis Denton –
Ancient secrets and Red Sea sunsets
I loved how this trip balanced education and adventure. Our guide in Luxor explained hieroglyphs like he was telling bedtime stories. Then by the time we hit Sharm El Sheikh, I was ready for snorkeling, speedboats, and lounging. The hotel there had the fluffiest pillows I’ve ever slept on. Even the drive through Sinai felt cinematic
Roxanne Toliver –
Nile temples desert trails and coral reefs in one go
If you think Egypt is just pyramids and camels, think again. We were blown away by the diversity on this tour. Starting in Cairo was perfect – that city never sleeps. The cruise gave us a slice of calm in between all the sightseeing. The temples in Edfu and Kom Ombo were surreal. Sharm was the perfect wind-down. Sunsets there were so golden they looked fake
Harlan Moffett –
Adventure packed days and five-star nights across Egypt
The tour was so well-paced. Mornings full of pyramids and temples, evenings back on the ship with a cold drink in hand watching the Nile sparkle. When we reached Sharm El Sheikh, it felt like a reward – white sand, warm water, and our hotel felt like a mini paradise. We even tried a camel ride in the Sinai mountains. My legs may still be sore but my heart is full
Loretta Bixby –
Culture and sunshine all the way through Egypt
I’ve been on several tours around the world but this one stood out for its variety. I felt like I had three vacations in one – historic Cairo, a luxurious river cruise, and then a beach escape. Everything was thoughtfully timed. One day we’re walking in Tutankhamun’s footsteps and the next we’re sipping mocktails under palm trees in Sharm. The guides were smart, patient, and funny too which made every site come alive
Wyatt Hensley –
History sailing and beach lounging all wrapped into one perfect trip
This Egypt adventure was packed but never rushed. We covered a LOT without feeling worn out. The blend of history in Cairo, the calm vibe of the cruise, and then the beach bliss of Sharm was genius. I’m not usually a tour person, but this was next-level organized. Hot-air ballooning over Luxor? Check. Eating fresh seafood by the Red Sea? Double check. And those sunset desert jeep rides? I’ve got sand in places I didn’t know existed
June Bellamy –
From Pharaohs to Fins the most unforgettable two weeks
If you’ve ever wanted to go back in time and also work on your tan, this trip is for you. We started in Cairo and I’ll admit, I thought I’d seen it all until I was staring at the Giza Pyramids in person. Then came the cruise – comfy beds, Nile breezes, and temples that felt straight out of Indiana Jones. But Sharm El Sheikh? That was a surprise gem. I took my first ever dive in Ras Mohammed and saw a sea turtle glide right past me. We ended the journey wandering through Old Cairo’s charming streets and sipping mint tea at a rooftop café. Each part of the trip felt like a new chapter
Caleb McGraw –
A luxury cruise, ancient temples, and the sunniest beach ever
We were craving a getaway that combined relaxation and history, and this tour overdelivered. From day one in Cairo, things were organized and smooth. Seeing the Sphinx up close gave me chills. The Nile cruise ship was beyond what we expected – I’m talking spotless cabins, panoramic views, and a crew that treated us like family. But the highlight for me was Luxor’s Karnak Temple. Walking through those massive columns was like being in a movie set. Sharm El Sheikh was the icing on the cake. We chilled at a five-star beach resort and spent an afternoon parasailing over the sea. Trust me, my wife will not stop talking about it
Emma Loudermilk –
Exploring ancient wonders then diving into coral dreams in one epic trip
I never thought I’d go from walking beside the Great Pyramid one day to snorkeling over rainbow reefs the next, but that’s exactly what happened on this 13-day adventure. Cairo was a jaw-dropper from the start – Sakkara’s stepped pyramid felt like stepping into a living textbook, while the Egyptian Museum had more treasures than my brain could process. The Nile cruise was pure floating luxury – modern cabins, delicious food, and watching palm trees pass as we floated toward Luxor. And then… Sharm El Sheikh. Let’s just say I may have spent more time in a swimsuit than regular clothes. The Red Sea was clearer than my bathwater back home. We also did an optional jeep safari into the desert and I screamed half the ride (in a good way). This trip isn’t just a vacation – it’s a story I’ll be telling for decades

Deanna Sue Crowley –
Cairo ‘ s buzz , Nile ‘ s calm , and Sharm ‘ s dazzle — unbeatable mix
I was worried 13 days would feel long , but it flew by in a whirlwind of wonders . Sakkara was unexpectedly peaceful , and the guides explained the layers of Egypt’s past like reading a juicy novel . By the time we hit Sharm , I was ready to float and feast — and I did both daily . The trip was the perfect mix of brain food and beach vibes 🏖️📚
Mickey Joe Dillard –
Red Sea breeze and Nile nostalgia rolled into one smooth ride
The whole itinerary flowed like a story — starting with ancient mysteries and ending with sandy beaches . The museum in Cairo had King Tut’s stuff , and it gave me actual goosebumps . The cruise ship felt like a floating boutique hotel , complete with a rooftop pool and nightly entertainment . Desert excursion in Sinai was wild — we rode ATVs and watched stars fall from the sky 🌌
Charlene Tuckett –
From dusty tombs to beachy tunes , this trip had it all
We laughed our way through ancient history , thanks to the fun guide who made hieroglyphics sound like memes . Luxor and Aswan had jaw – dropping architecture , and I totally got sunburned trying to photograph every corner . In Sharm , the seafood buffet was legendary , and the resort pools felt like a scene out of a music video . Zero stress , max memories ✨
Willard Shope –
Adventure , comfort , and pharaohs — Egypt did not disappoint
What stood out most wasn’t just the monuments or snorkeling — it was the seamless mix of relaxation and education . We hiked the desert by moonlight , then dipped in the Red Sea the next day . In Cairo , the Sakkara step pyramid was my favorite . Less crowded , super photogenic . The hotels felt high – end without being stiff . And yes , the coffee everywhere was dangerously good ☕
Patrice Dunley –
Cruising into history and splashing into relaxation all in one trip
The cruise had better food than my local diner back home in Missouri — and that’s saying something . Seeing Karnak Temple lit up at night felt like a dream . My room had sliding windows , so I woke up to the Nile gliding by like a live painting . Sharm El Sheikh had everything — coral reefs , sunset cafes , even a lazy camel I bonded with outside the desert bazaar 🐫
Rufus Clayborne –
Epic sunrises , historic wonders , and a surprising amount of hummus
I went solo and left with 3 new friends and a suitcase of memories . The guides were hilarious and full of facts — like did you know the Valley of the Kings was basically the VIP zone of ancient Egypt ? Sharm was my favorite , not gonna lie . I didn’t expect beachside falafel to taste that good . Pro tip : do the optional mountain hike at sunrise . Just bring strong calves and weak expectations and you’ll be blown away .
Nancy Holler –
Sun , sand , temples , and tales — a journey for the senses
This wasn’t just a vacation , it was a sensory feast . The Pyramids left me speechless , and I talk a lot . Floating along the Nile with the breeze in my hair , I watched farmers plow fields like it was 2000 BC . The Red Sea waters were so blue they hurt my eyes ( in a good way ) . I even rode a quad in the Sinai desert and made friends with a camel named Salsa . Would do it all over again just for her 🐪💛
Caleb Rigsby –
Sailing like Cleopatra and chilling like a Bedouin 😎
I never knew luxury could float until I boarded that Nile cruise . Four days of 5 – star pampering with belly dancing under the stars and soft sheets by night . The temples along the way were unreal — Kom Ombo’s symmetry gave me chills . In Sharm , we hopped on a boat to Tiran Island and I snorkeled next to a parrotfish the size of a toddler . Cairo’s old streets wrapped it all up with spices , stories , and souvenirs .
Loretta Mayfield –
From Luxor temples to Sinai sands , a cultural rollercoaster
The journey from Cairo’s buzzing energy to the chilled vibes of Sharm El Sheikh was the perfect balance of history and leisure . I’ve never felt so educated and sun – kissed at the same time . The Nile cruise had opulent cabins and unbeatable views every sunrise . The guide shared stories of Egyptian gods with such passion , I started believing I was a reincarnated priestess . The Museum in Old Cairo was the final touch — pure magic wrapped in AC .
Brady Ellsworth –
Exploring ancient tombs by day and dancing by the Red Sea at night
Whew , this 13 – day journey really took us from sand to sea in style . From the pyramids of Giza where I tried ( and failed ) to look cool on a camel , to cruising the Nile like royalty , the entire trip felt like stepping through a postcard . The real cherry on top ? Sharm El Sheikh . We snorkeled through waters so clear I thought my goggles were fake . The hotels were super comfy , and the desert safari ? Let’s just say my spine is still recovering from the thrill . But wow , it was worth it .
