Splendours of Egypt
About This Trip
Cruise the Nile, gain insights into the art of belly dancing, and explore the splendours of Egypt on this 12-day women-only tour. Enjoy a sundowner at the Old Cataract Hotel, where Sir Winston Churchill and Agatha Christie once dined. Continue down the Nile to Luxor to see the Valley of the Queens and the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs — including the famous Tutankhamun — are buried. In Cairo, see the oldest pyramid in the world, the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, before travelling to see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: The Pyramids of Giza. Here, stand face-to-face with the towering Sphinx and later, watch a sound and light show dance across the stones. Enhance your cultural experience by meeting local women and learning about the history of papyrus.
