TRIP INFORMATION

  • What are the Key Dates | Trip Dates?
    Visiting Egypt provides a unique experience all year, so there are no specific trip dates set, but the best time to go depends on YOUR preferences. The dates for this trip will be based on the time of year you would like to travel. Egypt is in the desert, and gets VERY hot - the Summer months (June - August) are the hottest (as warm as 100° - 120°+ during the heat of the day). The archeological sites, however, are the least crowded. During the Summer and early Fall months there are excellent value opportunities. Winter months (December - February) are the most comfortable (temperatures between 50° to 70° during the day). The archeological sites, however, are the most crowded during Winter. Shoulder seasons (Spring: March to May, 75° to 90° during the day; and Fall: September to November, 80° to 90° during the day) offer a balance between comfort and crowds. Travelers from the U.S. and Canada should include one additional day in their booking plans to allow for the overnight flight to Cairo (including any stopovers / layovers). Allow additional time if your flight itinerary includes significant stopovers/layovers (more than six (6) hours).
  • When should we arrive in Cairo?
    Please plan on arriving in Cairo on your first day, as early as your flights will permit from your origin. You'll want to take full advantage of the arrival day to relax, take in your hotel, and see some of what surrounds you on arrival. If you are interested in pre- or post-trip stays, please get in touch with me to work out your dates and rates - please note that any pre- and post-trip stays are an additional charge.
  • May I add a pre- or post-trip land extension to this itinerary?

    Spend a morning of scenic cruising along the glistening Nile River. Relax on the Sun Deck as you cruise from Esna back to Luxor.

The Hypostyle Hall is a great architectural marvel and filled with its roof blocks, supported by colossal 134 columns standing at 70 feet high, with 12 larger columns standing at 80 feet high lining the central aisle. This hall is still the largest room of any religious building in the world. After visiting the temple, journey to a museum and discover the art of papyrus making.

The temple was built by Ptolemy and a group of Romans who worshipped her; so don’t miss the back of the temple where there is a relief depicting Cleopatra with Caesarion, her son by Julius Caesar, the Roman Emperor who brought us the months of July and August. Following your visit here, sail back to Luxor. (B, L, D)
