Begin in the shadow of the Great Pyramids of Giza before flying south to Aswan. Explore the Island sanctuary of Philae and the Colossi of Abu Simbel, and set sail along the Nile to the royal city of Luxor. Your expedition drifts from the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu to the silent tombs of the Valley of the Kings. Guided by experts, experience a land where ancient history and living culture flow together.
Highlights
Soak up views of the colossal statues of Ramses II carved directly into the mountainside, Gain private access to Edfu Temple before public hours, Watch the sun rise over the hypostyle hall, Experience the Royal Mummies gallery after-hours and hear all about the science of mummification, Visit the Funtasia Project social enterprise in Luxor to learn how students train in conflict resolution and tourism
Group Leader
All National Geographic Signature group trips are accompanied by one of our National Geographic Expedition Leaders throughout. The aim of the Expedition Leaders is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
