 Cairo

Day 2 : Cairo to Aswan via Giza

 Cairo
Get ready for a sensory overload of the best possible variety. Markets & mayhem are on every corner,
with stops for hummus and tea proving very essential.

Giza
Of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World only one remains, and today you will be seeing it up close and
personal. Get the tissues ready, seeing the iconic Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza in all their 4,600
year old glory will make for a day that stirs you to the very core.
Inclusions
From pharaohs to mummies - locally guided tours of the Egyptian Museum & the Pyramids of
Giza
 Aswan
Tonight it's an overnight train to Aswan - nothing gives you a more up-close look at a place than
riding local!

Day 3 : Nile Cruise - Aswan

 Aswan
Today is all about jaw drops from start to end. First up, you'll learn about the famous Obelisk, a symbol
of Egypt, and interestingly a monument that is carved in the ground. These pointed needles are a
great example of the skills of the ancient Egyptian artisans and our Local Guide will get you in the
know on A to Z and everything in-between. Take a stroll along the Nile before grabbing that camera,
as we hop aboard a wooden felucca sailboat, the first of our two boating experiences for the day, and
watch the local life as you float on by. Tonight is a taste of the high life with a luxury cruise on the River
Nile, no less. This is the first of 3-nights we'll spend on the water, soaking up Egypt from its iconic
waterway.
Inclusions
Sit back & chill as you drift down the Nile on a traditional felucca sailing boat
Local villages, ancient sites & stunning scenery - see them all on your relaxing three-night cruise
down the Nile

just how good life is.
Free Time
Abu Simbel Temple
USD 145.00

 Edfu
After green fields, the Arabian desert and palm trees aplenty have teased our eyes along the Nile, we'll
pull in for a peak at the perfectly symmetrical town of Kom Ombo. This village's famous temple is
dedicated to the God of Crocodile, and the God of Falcon and with it's stunning setting right by the
Nile is the perfect spot to head on-land for some exploring. Back on the boat you can practice your
'walk like an Egyptian' pose, then take a dip in the pool (yes, as in the boat has a pool) before we dock
for the night in Edfu.
Free Time
View Kom Ombo, the Temple of Two Gods
USD 19.00

Day 5 : Nile Cruise - Edfu to Luxor

 Edfu
A spot of temple time is up for grabs this morning, complete with a Greco-Roman history lesson &
plenty of photo ops. Shortly after, we'll cast off in the direction of Luxor.

 Luxor
As soon as we step foot on Luxor terrain, we'll start spinning our way into the historical mysteries of
this magnificent town including the Avenue of the Sphinxes, an epic lineup of human headed sphinxes
spanning 3km, and let's not forget a photographers dream. Tomorrow the Luxor discoveries continue,
so there's no need to cram it all in on day one.
Inclusions
Visit the Avenue of the Sphinxes

Day 6 : Luxor to Hurghada

 Luxor
Only on a trip to Egypt would ancient royal tombs make a casual appearance on our daily agenda.
Venturing to the Valley of the Kings known as 'City of the Dead,' our local guide will take us to some of
the 63 royal tombs found here. We'll visit an indigenous Nubian Village and see the rich heritage of a
community dating back to the Palaeolithic era (Contiki Cares). Later, choose to visit the Temple of
Karnak where we can find the world’s largest religious structure, the Temple of Amun.
Inclusions
Guided tour through the Valley of Kings
See the Colossos of Memnon
Visit an indigenous Nubian village (MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience)

 Hurghada
Hurghada is all about beachside summer holiday vibes to rival the Mediterranean. With crystal clear
 waters as far as the eye can see, umbrella-lined beaches, and golden sunsets, this town will be sure to
seal the deal on your love for Egypt.

Day 7 : Hurghada to Cairo

 Hurghada
Lovers of exploring by sea could take a cruise of the Red Sea for all new views, or those who prefer life
a little more on land could snorkel, sun bake or just relax in paradise this morning. Later, we'll attempt
an Arabic goodbye to the beautiful beaches of Hurghada as we make our way back to where our
Egyptian escapade kicked off just a week ago.
Free Time
Red Sea Cruise
US 62.50-74.50

 Cairo
It's our last complete day together on tour, which means we need to make the most of every second
and avoid winding down at all costs. Dive back into Cairo and find a mezze haunt to loiter in, or roam
the ancient Khan El Khalili bazaar to pick up some final treasures.

Day 8 : Depart Cairo

 Cairo
Down your last breakfast on us before collapsing into a mess of farewells. Stay strong, there are plenty
more exotic lands with Contiki trips written all over them.

 Cairo
