One of the great cultural journeys from India, combining Cairo's pyramids with a four-night Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. In Cairo you stand before the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, visit Sakkara and Memphis, and explore the treasures of the Egyptian Museum, with time for the Khan El Khalili bazaar. An internal flight whisks you to Luxor to board a Nile cruiser, sailing past temple after temple — Karnak and Luxor temples, the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's terraced temple, and the riverside temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae, plus the Aswan High Dam. A final Cairo night completes the loop. Honest note: it is a temple-intensive, early-start itinerary; bring sun protection and respect site dress codes. Deeply rewarding for history lovers. starting at INR 1,40,000 per person. Covers Cairo 3N, Nile cruise 4N (Luxor-Aswan), Cairo 1N.
Land in Cairo, clear immigration and transfer to your hotel. Settle in after the flight and take an easy first evening. Rest up before a full day at the pyramids tomorrow, the centrepiece of the Cairo leg of the journey.

Cross to Luxor's west bank for the Valley of the Kings, exploring the painted royal tombs cut into the rock, then the dramatic terraced temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. Start early to beat the heat. Sail on towards Edfu, enjoying the riverside scenery from deck.
