Step into the land of pharaohs with our 10-day Egypt Pyramids Tour Package with Nile Cruise 2026/2027, designed especially for travelers from the USA who want a seamless, worry-free way to experience Egypt’s most iconic sights. From the moment you arrive in Cairo, you’ll be welcomed by our local team, assisted with airport formalities, and transferred in comfort to your hotel, so you can relax and focus on the adventure ahead. This carefully crafted Egypt vacation combines the legendary Pyramids of Giza, a luxurious five-star Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor, and the coastal charm of Alexandria into one unforgettable journey.
Your Egypt Pyramids Tour Package with Nile Cruise 2025/2026 begins in Cairo, the vibrant capital where ancient history and modern life blend effortlessly. Stand in awe before the Great Pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx, and learn how these monumental structures were built thousands of years ago. With an expert Egyptologist guide by your side, you’ll uncover the stories of the pharaohs, the secrets of pyramid construction, and the beliefs that shaped one of the world’s greatest civilizations. You will also explore the fascinating Egyptian Museum or the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (depending on the final program), where treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb and countless artifacts bring the past to life.
Beyond Giza, this Egypt Pyramids Tour Package with Nile Cruise 2026/2027takes you off the typical tourist path to discover the hidden gems of Fayoum. Just a short drive from Cairo, Fayoum offers a peaceful contrast to the bustling city. Here you can admire beautiful desert landscapes, traditional villages, and unique archaeological sites that reveal another side of Egypt’s rich heritage. It’s a chance to see authentic local life, enjoy scenic views, and capture photos that most visitors to Egypt never experience.
The highlight of your journey is a luxurious five-star Nile cruise, the most relaxing and romantic way to travel between Aswan and Luxor. After a short flight from Cairo, you’ll board your Nile cruise ship and settle into your comfortable cabin, complete with modern amenities and panoramic river views. As you sail along the timeless Nile River, you’ll watch daily life unfold on the riverbanks—farmers tending their fields, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and small villages that seem unchanged by time. On board, you can enjoy delicious meals, sunbathe on the deck, and take in the stunning scenery between guided excursions.
During the cruise portion of your Egypt Pyramids Tour Package with Nile Cruise 2025/2026, you’ll visit some of Egypt’s most important temples and tombs. In Aswan, explore the graceful Philae Temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, and see the High Dam, a modern engineering marvel. Optional tours may include a visit to the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel temples, carved into the rock by Ramses II. As you sail north to Luxor, you’ll stop at Kom Ombo and Edfu temples, each with its own fascinating history and unique architecture. In Luxor, often called the world’s greatest open-air museum, you’ll discover the magnificent Karnak Temple complex, Luxor Temple, and the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were laid to rest with their treasures.
Your tour also includes time in Alexandria, Egypt’s Mediterranean jewel, where Roman history meets Egyptian culture. Stroll along the corniche with views of the sea, explore the site of the ancient lighthouse at Qaitbay Citadel, and visit landmarks such as the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, inspired by the legendary ancient library. Alexandria offers a refreshing coastal atmosphere, delicious seafood, and a different perspective on Egypt’s long and layered history, from the time of Alexander the Great to the Roman and modern eras.
