About This Tour
Ten days through Egypt's greatest hits — the Giza Plateau, a Luxor-to-Aswan Nile cruise, Abu Simbel, and Cairo's museums — with a private guide and driver throughout. This trip runs entirely within Egypt, including a genuine multi-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan (nights 3 through 6) aboard a cruise ship with its own crew and included meals — Voyzo provides your private guide, driver, and all land transfers on the Cairo and Abu Simbel legs, and hands you over to the cruise for the river portion exactly as the itinerary intends.
