This 8-day sights of the Nile tour is the perfect way to make this year’s holiday season different by spending your Christmas in Egypt. You’ll begin your holiday tour in Cairo, visiting the Pyramids, Sphinx, and unmissable places both ancient and modern. Then leave Cairo behind for a 5-star luxury Nile cruise, where you’ll dive headfirst into ancient Egyptian history and wander its tombs and temples. Descend into the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, explore the massive Karnak Temple complex, and see even more as you make your way along the Nile from Luxor to Aswan.
