Trip Highlights
Discover the Treasures of Cairo
Join an Egyptologist for a privately guided tour of the phenomenal treasures from King Tutankhamen’s tomb in the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities—while Junior Adventurers play our very own art detective activity. You’ll also visit the Citadel of Salah Al-Din and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali.
The Great Pyramid, Sphinx, Camel Ride and More!
An Egyptologist takes you on an unforgettable tour of the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx. Next, climb up for the ride of your life and ride on the Giza plateau with a view of the pyramids. Then enter the Khufu Boat Museum and see the pharaoh’s painstakingly restored “sun boat” that archaeologists unearthed beside the pyramid in 1954.
Abu Simbel and Nile Cruise
Fly to magical Abu Simbel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with two of the most magnificent temples in the world—the twin monuments of Nubia! Explore the area with an Egyptologist and learn the unbelievable story of how these temples were saved from the rising Nile waters.
3-Night Nile Cruise Aboard the Tamr Henna
Welcome aboard the Tamr Henna, your Nile cruise ship docked in Aswan. This “floating hotel” provides comfortable accommodations on your 3-night cruise from Aswan to Abu Simbel and Luxor. Enjoy the cool Nile breezes as you pass iconic monuments on the river banks—such as the Temples of Philae and Edfu— the vast desert stretching into the horizon.
The Temple of Luxor
Colossal statues of pharaohs and gods pose regally between the imposing columns and obelisks as you tour this vast temple complex. Enter the temple right at sunset as dwindling daylight soaks the horizon with golden rays. Picture the breathtaking grandeur of a pharaoh’s parade as you wander down the Avenue of the Sphinxes, the royal processional path that connects Luxor and Karnak temples.
Valley of the Kings and Temple of Karnak
An Egyptologist guides you into the famed location of over 60 tombs for pharaohs and nobles on the West Bank of the Nile. Adventures by Disney provides a premium ticket that includes two top tours: the tombs of both King Tutankhamen and Ramses VI! An Egyptologist takes you on a private tour of the monumental Karnak temple complex.
Coral Sea Sensatori Resort & Snorkeling
Surrender yourself to the absolute bliss of total relaxation at this luxurious resort that offers a world-class spa, gorgeous pools and stunning views. You can also take to the sea to explore some of the most spectacular snorkeling and diving spots in the world.
