12 Day Metaphysical Tour Of Egypt

Continue to the Giza Plateau and Grand Egyptian Museum, then have lunch and travel to Saqqara for Djoser's Step Pyramid complex. Return to the Cairo hotel for the night

Fly from Cairo to Aswan and transfer to the Nile cruise for embarkation. Visit the Aswan High Dam and look across Lake Nasser, then cross by motorboat to Agilkia Island for Philae Temple. Return aboard for lunch, dinner and the first cruise night.

Sail north and go ashore at Kom Ombo Temple. Explore its unusual paired plan, built for the cults of Sobek and Haroeris, and examine the surviving reliefs beside the Nile. Rejoin the cruise afterward and continue toward Edfu, with meals and the night aboard.

Travel from the river landing to Edfu Temple and follow the sanctuary's processional route from the monumental pylon through broad courts and inner chambers dedicated to Horus. Return to the vessel and spend the rest of the day sailing toward Luxor, with all meals served aboard.

Disembark after breakfast and begin at Karnak, exploring its pylons, sacred spaces and Great Hypostyle Hall. Any scheduled meditation is treated as a personal practice within the visit. After lunch and hotel check-in, return to the riverfront for Luxor Temple under evening light.

Cross to the west bank and enter selected royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Continue to Hatshepsut's terraced temple and the Colossi of Memnon before lunch. Leave Luxor afterward and travel through the Eastern Desert to Hurghada, where you check in at the Red Sea hotel.

Keep the day free for rest beside the Red Sea. Swim, use the resort facilities, spend time on the beach or arrange an optional excursion separately. The open schedule provides a quiet break after the Upper Egypt touring.

Enjoy another unscheduled day at the Hurghada resort. Choose a personal rhythm of beach time, swimming and rest, or consider a separately arranged water activity if preferred. Spend the third night at the hotel.

Fly from Hurghada to Cairo and meet the guide for a city tour. Begin at the Egyptian Museum, continue after lunch to Saladin's Citadel and end with a walk along Al-Muizz Street and through Khan El Khalili. Check in at the Cairo hotel afterward.

Travel north to Alexandria and visit the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, whose exhibitions and reading spaces recall the city's long intellectual history. Continue to Qaitbay Citadel on the Mediterranean waterfront before lunch and the return drive to Cairo. Spend the final night at the hotel.

Have breakfast, check out and transfer privately to Cairo International Airport. Assistance is provided with the departure procedures before the onward flight.
