EGYPTIAN EMPIRE 2.0

from ₹0.00

06-14 November, 2024

Starts from USD 2314 per person

Welcome to Egypt, a land where the sands of time hold the secrets of ancient civilisation!

Cairo, the bustling capital, is a beautiful mix of culture and tradition. The National Museum in the capital boasts an unparalleled collection of artefacts spanning thousands of years of Egyptian history. The iconic Pyramids of Giza, standing silently over the desert for millennia, are more than just monuments. They symbolise human ambition and the eternal quest for immortality. We can’t help but wonder about the stone masons who carried, transported, and assembled millions of these huge blocks with remarkable precision.

Guarding the pyramids is the enigmatic Sphinx. This majestic creature, with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, has stood watch over the desert sands for millennia, captivating visitors with its aura of mystery and grandeur.

Our cruise from Aswan to Luxor along the timeless Nile River offers a glimpse into Egypt’s rich heritage. We visit the Abu Simbel temples built by Ramses II and the Valley of the Kings, where the Pharaohs were laid to rest in elaborate tombs. We explore the legendary tomb of Tutankhamun, where the boy king was laid to rest over 3,000 years ago.

In Egypt, every step is a journey through time and an unforgettable experience!
