Follow in the footsteps of the ancient Pharaohs through 5,000 years of Egyptian history, exploring alongside Egyptologist guides and certified photo intsructors who offer expert perspectives on the world’s richest trove of ancient treasures. Discover one highlight after another—from the great Pyramids of Giza to Abu Simbel’s rock-hewn temples—and spend days exploring the Nile aboard an elegant ship, taking in modern life along this storied river. Venture into tombs that are normally closed to the public on Luxor's west bank, where we’ve obtained permits for some of the most remarkable sites, including Tutankhamon’s tomb. See King Tut’s mummy, recently returned from the museum to his final resting place. Enter the tomb of Seti I, one of the finest and most colorful tombs in all of Egypt. And the tomb of Nefertari, open to a limited number of visitors each day, has colors so vivid they could have been painted yesterday.
