10 days | Egypt | Womens Travel Network

Egypt is synonymous with ancient civilizations and culture. The Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and a cruise on the mighty Nile River.

In the dense metropolis of modern Cairo, it’s often hard to appreciate the wonders of the ancients. On this exceptional journey, we will whisk you beyond the whirl of people in Africa’s largest city to uncover its history. We’ll explore Cairo’s grand 19th century boulevards, discover ancient mosques, Coptic churches and 10th century palaces, stroll in the medieval walled city of the Mamluks and dive into the famous Khan El Khalili souk. We’ll ride camels in the shadow of the pyramids and marvel at the Great Sphinx of Giza.

From Cairo, it’s a short flight to Luxor and the start of our luxuriously unhurried exploration of the Nile. From the comfort of the Sonesta Moon Goddess, on our four-day cruise, we’ll sail past the Colossi of Memnon and the Valley of the Kings on our way to Aswan. Sipping a drink on the deck of our vessel, we’ll watch the landscape change from lush green to desert-like beige. Numerous highlights include Kom Ombo, a paean to symmetry and the most breathtaking ruin on the Nile; the black granite modernist Temple of Hatshepsut; the impressive alley of illuminated sphinxes leading to the main entrance of Luxor; and the grand archaeological sites in the Valley of the Kings and Queens.

Finally, before flying back to Cairo, we travel to Abu Simbel where we’ll see the temples of Ramesses II, one of the most famous monuments in the world.

Join us and share in the excitement of this delightful mixed company tour to Egypt.

"I cannot possibly pick one highlight of this trip, every time we went to any temple/site I felt overwhelmed with a sense of awe but going inside the Khufu pyramid is an experience that I will never forget!" - Quest Traveller

"The camel ride, the Egyptian museum and learning about the Egyptian culture, pharaohs and Gods. Outstanding." - Quest Traveller

"I will never forget the evening sailing on Nile in the feluca. The peace and beauty of that moment gave me much needed time to reflect on the incredible history surrounding us every day on this journey." - Quest Traveller
