Felucca on the Nile, Egypt

This is an ideal trip if you want to visit all the classic sites but have limited time. Our high-calibre guides take you on an amazing journey as you visit many spectacular ancient world treasures and monuments. The breathtaking Pyramids, the tombs and temples at the Valley of the Kings and the imposing pillars of Karnak really are sights to behold. The highlight for many is the overnight stay on a traditional felucca sail boat and relaxing on the River Nile. We board the felucca in Aswan after experiencing the city's vibrant Nubian culture, an adventurous way to experience traditional Egyptian life.
