The Story of Your Journey

Cairo – The Heartbeat of Ancient Egypt


Arrive in Cairo, where history and chaos blend in fascinating rhythm. The evening begins aboard a serene Nile dinner cruise - dining under the stars, surrounded by the city’s glittering skyline. Live music and traditional performances fill the night, setting the perfect tone for your journey through time.

Standing Before the Pyramids


A dream unfolds at the Giza Plateau - marvel at the Great Pyramids and the enigmatic Sphinx, followed by a camel ride across the golden sands. Continue to Saqqara and Memphis, exploring relics that trace Egypt’s earliest dynasties. End the day at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, where mummies and artifacts whisper stories of 5,000 years.

A Walk Through Living History


Begin with a visit to the ancient Abu Serga Church and the historic Amr ibn Al-Aas Mosque, showcasing Cairo’s spiritual harmony. The afternoon leads into Khan El-Khalili Bazaar - its lantern-lit alleys, aromatic spice stalls, and lively chatter offer the essence of Egyptian street life. Evening at leisure to soak in the city’s energy.

Aswan – Gateway to the South


Fly to Aswan and step into a gentler rhythm by the Nile. Visit the impressive High Dam, a symbol of modern engineering, followed by a scenic boat ride to the enchanting Temple of Philae - a sanctuary of love and devotion rising from its island. The evening is yours aboard the Nile cruise, drifting through calm waters and starlit skies.

Between Temples and Traditions


An early departure takes you to Abu Simbel - where colossal statues of Ramses II guard the temples carved deep into rock. Return to Aswan and visit a Nubian village - bright blue homes, murals, laughter, and warm hospitality reflect a side of Egypt that is soulful and real. Experience the charm of local craftwork and riverside life before rejoining the cruise.

Sailing Through Time


As the cruise glides northward, stop at Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to two gods - Sobek and Horus. Learn of ancient rituals, then visit the Unfinished Obelisk, a marvel of ancient ambition frozen in stone. By evening, the cruise reaches Luxor - often called the world’s greatest open-air museum.

Luxor – The Eternal Legacy


Begin with a breathtaking sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor - the Nile gleaming below, temples glowing in soft morning light. Later, descend into the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of pharaohs are painted in vivid colors. Visit Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple and the monumental Karnak and Luxor Temples, standing tall against the desert sky.

Farewell to the Land of Legends


After breakfast, take a flight back to Cairo and connect to your onward destination. Depart Egypt carrying memories of timeless wonders - of pyramids that pierce the horizon, temples that glow with sunrise, and a river that has witnessed the story of civilization itself.

Our 4-day Goa family trip with Trailnests was simply wonderful. Everything from the stay to travel and local experiences was well planned and perfectly managed. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just relax and enjoy our time together as a family. It genuinely felt like the team understood what we needed and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.
