GLOBUS 2025: Egypt with Nile Cruise (QG)
9 days from Cairo to Cairo
That calendar you live by-the one with 365 days divided into twelve months-you can thank the ancient Egyptians for the handy invention that helps you manage your time. In this 9-day vacation, you'll marvel at many other amazing accomplishments of this remarkable civilization. The daunting Great Pyramids, the enigmatic Sphinx and the extraordinary temples of Luxor and Karnak are well worth the journey as are the sparkling treasures inside Cairo's Egyptian Museum, including the fascinating burial items from the opulent tomb of 'King Tut.' As you sail down the legendary Nile from Luxor to Aswan on this enthralling tour of Egypt, you'll also stand in awe at the Kom Ombo Temple, barter for goods at the bustling bazaars, and sway to the rhythmic drums on a relaxing felucca ride down the Nile.
