See Pyramids & temples, sail on a traditional felucca, snorkel over coral and ride camels in the desert. Kids and adults alike will be amazed by the massive Pyramids of Giza. In the Egyptian Museum you'll see Tutankhamun's gold mask and other relics that avoided the clutches of grave robbers. An overnight train journey brings you to Aswan where you'll explore lively bazaars and eat a traditional meal as guests of a Nubian family. Taking to the Nile you'll travel by age-old felucca sailboat, tying up at the riverbank at night and listening to Nubian songs and drums around a campfire. In Luxor you'll head to the famous Valley of the Kings, then travel by horse-drawn carriage to the mammoth temples of Karnak where you can learn to read hieroglyphs which tell of life thousands of years ago. There's time for an optional hot air balloon flight before driving across the desert to Hurghada and spending a wonderful day snorkelling on colourful coral reefs from your boat. Finally fly back to Cairo for a last night in the Land of the Pharaohs!
