Days 1-2: USA or Canada/Cairo, Egypt:

Fly overnight to Cairo, where you begin your extraordinary adventure back into Egypt's past, one of the greatest civilizations in history.


Meals Served:

Day 3: Cairo:

Explore Cairo's famed Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, the greatest collection of Egyptian artifacts in the world. The sheer number of items is amazing, and some of the sights here are unforgettable: the funeral mask of Tutankhamun ("King Tut") is made of more than 200 pounds of gems and solid gold. Your family also visits the Mummy Room, where some 27 Egyptian pharaohs lie at rest; some even still have their hair and fingernails. This evening at a welcome dinner, get to know the other families sharing your adventure.


Meals Served: B D

Day 4: Cairo:

Journey just outside Cairo to see the Giza Pyramids, which have been luring eager visitors for more than four thousand years. The Pyramids are amazing enough on the outside, but your visit includes a trip inside a pyramid as well; the short, narrow corridors are a perfect fit for young explorers, and the feeling of being inside this ancient monument is one your family will never forget. Just east lies the legendary Sphinx, the guardian of the pharaoh's funerary monument. Continue to the Solar Boat Museum to view the 141- foot long funeral boat of Cheops, then take a picture atop a camel within view of the Pyramids. After lunch, visit a crafts workshop to participate in pottery, engraving or wood working projects.


Meals Served: B L

Day 5: Cairo/Abu Simbel/Aswan:

Fly to Abu Simbel and explore the two temples built by Egypt's longest-ruling pharaoh, King Ramses II. Abu Simbel is one of the grandest sites ever built by the Egyptians, with statues 60 feet high carved from solid rock. Continue by charter flight to Aswan, where you board 'Sun Boat IV,' your luxurious Nile cruiser and home for the next three nights. This afternoon, visit the granite quarries and see the 1,250-ton Unfinished Obelisk, an example of the outstanding stonemasonry of the ancient Egyptians.


Meals Served: B L D

Day 6: Aswan/Kom Ombo/Edfu/Esna/Luxor:

Take a short motorboat ride to the exquisite Temple of Philae on the island of Agilika before sailing to Kom Ombo. Disembark to visit this unusual temple dedicated to not one but two gods, the sun god Haroeris and the crocodile god Sobek. Return to your Nile cruiser and continue to Edfu and the Temple of Horus (the falcon god), the best-preserved temple in Egypt. Tonight is a special treat on board 'Sun Boat IV': an "Egyptian Night" costume party, with a chance for your family to dress in traditional galabeyyas (desert robes) and sample a lavish buffet of Egyptian specialties, followed by music and dancing for all.


Meals Served: B L D

Day 7: Luxor:

Cross the Nile to the West Bank's Valley of the Kings, a vast city of the dead where magnificent tombs were carved into the desert rocks. Go into these tombs to see the hieroglyphs and paintings that cover their walls, as vivid as if they had been painted yesterday. Visit the tomb of Tutankhamun and look upon the ancient Pharaoh himself. Explore the Valley of the Queens and the famed Colossi of Memnon, which, according to legend, used to make a strange "singing" noise at dawn. Visit the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, the most accomplished of Egypt's few female pharaohs. Before returning to the boat, take a fun donkey ride along the shore of the Nile. After lunch, explore the graceful Temple of Luxor, completed by Egypt's most renowned pharaoh, Ramses II. Walk along the avenue of sphinxes that once extended a hundred yards, connecting Luxor with the spectacular Temple of Karnak. Karnak was built by generations of pharaohs over a thousand-year period, each one attempting to leave his mark by outdoing his predecessor in scale. Karnak's Great Hypostyle Hall is certain to be a highlight of your family's visit. Considered to be one of the world's greatest architectural achievements, the hall was supported by magnificent sandstone columns with reliefs symbolizing the creation of the world; the columns still stand, occupying an area larger than Notre Dame cathedral. Join your fellow travellers this evening for a farewell dinner.


Meals Served: B L D

Day 8: Luxor/Cairo:

Fly back to Cairo and explore the Citadel of Salah el-Din, a spectacular medieval fortress dating from the 12th century. Stroll to the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, a bustling open-air market that draws both locals and visitors alike. Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch, followed by a fun and challenging scavenger hunt through the winding streets of the bazaar. Take your money envelope and your list of clues and go — the vendors are ready to bargain with you.


Meals Served: B L

Day 9: Cairo/USA or Canada:

Transfer to the airport for your flight home.
