Valley of the Kings and Queens

With its multiple domes and minarets, Cairo’s Muhammad Ali Mosque — or Alabaster Mosque — is one of its architectural highlights

Cairo Old Town

Take an afternoon trip to Cairo’s tiny Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to notable churches, museums, and ruins.


Cairo Museum of Antiquities

Begin your first full day in Egypt with a visit to Cairo’s renowned Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. Home to one of the world’s most impressive collections of ancient treasures, the Egyptian Museum features more than 120,000 artifacts — including the iconic, gold funerary mask of child-king Tutankhamun. 



Optional Extension to Alexandria

Follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great with a visit to the great port city he founded in 331 BC. Known as the "Pearl of the Mediterranean," Alexandria boasts a wealth of cultural and historic sites, many of which you’ll tour on this optional extension.

Optional Extension to Petra & Amman, Jordan

Once lost in time, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra is a not-to-be missed icon whose beauty is as spellbinding as the history that surrounds it. Its intricate temples are hewn into the red rock of the jebels, and to see the soft desert light illuminate it with a rosy glow will have a striking effect on you. 

Introducing: m/s Nebu

The new, custom-built m/s Nebu takes its name from the Egyptian hieroglyphic representing gold — and it truly sets the gold standard for Nile cruising. Set sail on the Nebu’s inaugural season and true luxury and unforgettable experiences are yours.
