Few destinations on Earth match the awe-inspiring scale of ancient Egypt. Standing before the Great Pyramid of Giza — the only surviving wonder of the ancient world — is an experience that transforms understanding of human history. This group journey is designed to be both deeply educational and genuinely moving, ideal for history departments, archaeology classes, cultural associations, and any intellectually curious group.
Your itinerary includes Cairo's Egyptian Museum (home to Tutankhamun's treasures), a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, and the stunning temples of Karnak. All visits are guided by Egyptologist scholars with extensive knowledge in both ancient history and modern Egyptology.
