Egypt is not simply a destination — it is a revelation. Here, civilization began beneath a blazing sun, where gods were carved into stone and the Nile became the artery of life itself. This immersive journey carries you from the timeless monuments of Cairo to the serene rhythm of the Nile, where temples rise silently from the riverbanks and history unfolds with every bend of the water.
Day 1 | Arrival in Cairo
Upon arrival in Cairo, you’ll be warmly met and assisted before being transferred privately to your hotel. As evening settles, the city hums softly outside — the city glimmers with lanterns and minarets, offering your first taste of the enchantment that lies ahead and the anticipation of wonders yet to come filling the air.
Day 2 | The Pyramids of Giza & The Sphinx
Wake to the anticipation of a day 5,000 years in the making. This morning, meet your private guide and step into one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes on Earth. Stand before the Great Pyramids of Giza — colossal wonders whose scale and precision continue to defy time and imagination. As desert light dances across ancient stone, the magnitude of what you’re witnessing settles in slowly and deeply.
Nearby, the Great Sphinx gazes out across the sands, its enigmatic expression guarding secrets older than recorded history. Then, mount a camel for a gentle, unforgettable ride across the sands. Feel the soft sway of its gait, the warmth of the sun on your back, and the sheer awe of seeing the pyramids stretch behind you while the Sahara opens wide ahead.
It’s a moment travelers often describe as life-changing — still, quiet, and humbling in the best way.
Day 3 | Fly to Luxor & Board Your Nile Cruise
After breakfast, fly to Luxor — the world’s greatest open-air museum — where your luxury cruise awaits.
Step aboard your floating boutique hotel, the MS Nile Style, and settle into your cabin as the river drifts past palm groves, villages, and ancient stones touched by thousands of sunrises.
After lunch, explore Luxor and Karnak Temples — colossal pillars, sacred avenues, and massive statues rising from the desert like a city built for gods.
Day 4 | The West Bank & Sail to Edfu
Cross to the storied West Bank, where the Valley of the Kings stretches beneath sun-drenched cliffs. Wander among ancient tombs adorned with vibrant hieroglyphs that have survived millennia, each chamber echoing with the legacy of pharaohs who once ruled the ancient world.
As afternoon light softens across the desert, return to your ship. The sails unfurl, catching the warm breeze as the Nile guides you south. Villages drift by in quiet rhythm — children waving from the shore, palm groves glowing gold — while the river shimmers beneath the setting sun.
It’s a moment of pure Egyptian magic: slow, serene, and timeless.
DAY 5 | Edfu Temple & Kom Ombo
Begin your morning at the Temple of Horus in Edfu, a magnificent sanctuary rising from the desert like a perfectly preserved relic. Its towering pylons, shadowed halls, and intricate carvings tell a vivid story of gods, kings, and ancient rituals.
Continue your journey to Kom Ombo, where a rare double temple stands guard along the river. Here, Sobek the crocodile god and Horus the falcon share equal honor — a duality reflected in twin entrances, mirrored chapels, and a museum of mummified crocodiles that fascinates visitors of all ages.
As evening falls, your ship glides toward Aswan under a sky streaked with purples and rose-gold hues. Watch the river fade into twilight as lanterns glow softly across the deck
DAY 6 | Aswan’s Timeless Beauty
Your final full day along the Nile reveals the tranquil soul of southern Egypt.
Stand atop the monumental High Dam, a symbol of modern ingenuity, before witnessing the Unfinished Obelisk — an enormous granite monolith left frozen in time inside the quarry from which many of Egypt’s greatest monuments were born.
Then drift across the water to Philae Temple, a breathtaking island sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis. Surrounded by shimmering blue water and framed by elegant columns, Philae feels almost otherworldly — a temple rescued stone by stone from rising Nile waters to preserve its ancient grace.
Later, board a traditional felucca and glide gently toward the Botanical Garden. The white sail billows overhead as warm breezes carry the scent of jasmine and river reeds. With the Nile glowing amber in the setting sun, the moment feels suspended — peaceful, poetic, and unforgettable.
Day 7 | Return to Cairo
After breakfast, disembark your cruise and transfer to Aswan Airport for your flight back to Cairo. Upon arrival, enjoy a private transfer to your hotel for a final night in the capital — the perfect time to reflect on a journey that feels almost dreamlike in hindsight.
Day 8 | Departure
Transfer to Cairo International Airport for your onward journey home, carrying with you memories of ancient wonders, golden sunsets, and the quiet magic of the Nile.

It’s the perfect sanctuary before and after your journey through ancient Egypt.
MS Nile Style Cruise – Sail the Nile in Style & Comfort
Step aboard the 5-star MS Nile Style, where modern elegance meets the timeless magic of Egypt. This intimate, beautifully designed ship becomes your sanctuary as you glide past ancient temples, golden deserts, and palm-fringed riverbanks.
