Best of Egypt & Nile Cruise
 
When we resumed operating departures in the summer of 2021, Egypt was the first destination our travelers set off to explore. And it’s no surprise why—the mystery of the Great Pyramids and the allure of the mighty Nile have been calling to those with a desire to explore humanity’s wonders for centuries! Join us on our popular Best of Egypt & Nile River Cruise small group tour and our expert Egyptologist will guide you through the country’s unforgettable sites providing rich, historical context from the mysteries found within King Tut’s Tomb to the ancient temples that tower high above the Sahara desert and everything in between!
