Our Nile Cruise and Red Sea holiday is an introductory tour that combines the best of Egypt into a single trip; pyramids, temples and tombs; a journey on the River Nile; and an opportunity to relax by the pristine blue waters of the Red Sea. This private Egypt holiday starts in Cairo where you’ll see the pyramids of Giza as well as the enigmatic Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum with its incredible golden treasures. Then, on flying south to Aswan, you’ll board your floating home – either aboard the upscale M/S Acamar or the luxury all-suite Sonesta Sun Goddess - for a three-night Nile adventure. As the Nile cruise gets underway, you will be able to relax and watch the exotic scenery of Upper Egypt glide before your eyes from the sundeck in between excursions led by your shared on-board Egyptologist to see Egypt’s incredible antiquities. From Luxor, where the highlight of your sightseeing will almost certainly be the beautifully painted tombs in the Valley of the Kings, your journey continues across the Egypt’s Eastern Desert to the Red Sea coast for three nights of R&R at either the deluxe Kempinski Soma Bay or the luxurious The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh – one of the finest hotels in Egypt. A year-round destination, Egypt’s Red Sea coast has lovely sandy beaches and is a mecca for snorkelers and scuba divers. Both our hand-picked Red Sea resorts are set in beautiful landscaped grounds and have extensive facilities that include: water-sports, spas, and swimming-pools - so you can choose to do as much or as little as you please!
