Travel to See The Ancient Treasures of the Nile

Why we love it here: For millennia, layer upon layer of civilization has thrived here and each has left its mark. From eternal monuments of powerful pharaonic rulers and omnipotent gods to graceful Coptic churches and domed Mosques, Egypt is a country with a compelling legacy and amazing architectural wonders.

Why you might want to visit here: Egypt adventure cruises are fascinating. From prehistoric settlements to major monuments, you will encounter a richness of scientific and artistic achievement that is as impressive today as it was to early travelers.

The Nile is Egypt, and along its banks we discover the symbols of cultures that have captivated travelers for thousands of years. Egypt — where scientists, oracles and priests scanned the night sky, watched the fertile river and feared the barren desert that enveloped their land.

Why you might want to go with us: Our Egypt travel expeditions sail along the Nile on one of the finest ships of its kind. We’ll stay at distinguished hotels: the Four Seasons Hotel at the First Residence in Cairo and the Mena House Oberoi, at the foot of the Pyramids, in Giza. And, we have chartered private aircraft for all internal flights within Egypt. Private flights are the perfect complement to the service and quality that defines the Lindblad adventure travel experience in Egypt.

In Cairo depending on which itinerary you choose, you’ll visit the celebrated Egyptian Museum, Coptic churches, ancient synagogues and exquisite mosques, and stroll through the exotic Kahn el Kahlili bazaar. We’ll travel from Cairo to Luxor and along the Nile to Aswan and Abu Simbel with distinguished Egyptologists who will reveal the mysteries and intricacies of Ancient Egyptian beliefs and rites. Then, after experiencing the riches of Upper Egypt, you’ll return to Cairo and the Giza Plateau, site of the Pyramids and the Sphinx. You’ll also have the option of visiting the ancient city of Memphis and the Step Pyramid at Saqqara or the Bent and Red Pyramids of Dashur.
