What an Unforgettable Journey Along the Nile! This 10-day luxury cruise and Cairo tour exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped inside the Giza pyramids to sailing the serene waters of the Nile, every day was a new adventure. Luxor’s ancient temples, particularly the Temple of Karnak, left me in awe of the artistry and history. The luxurious accommodations made the experience even more enjoyable. Aswan was the cherry on top, especially the breathtaking Temple of Philae. I highly recommend this trip to anyone seeking a blend of luxury and history!
