Most Egypt itineraries follow the same path. This one doesn't.
This 8-day private Egypt itinerary pairs the country's ancient landmarks with one of its most surreal natural wonders — the White Desert National Park. Begin in Cairo with the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the world-class Grand Egyptian Museum, home to
Tutankhamun's golden treasures.
On day three, leave the city behind. Travel by 4x4 deep into Egypt's Western Desert, passing through the volcanic craters of the Black Desert and into Bahariya Oasis before reaching the otherworldly chalk formations of the White Desert. Spend the night in a Bedouin-style desert camp under one of Egypt's most spectacular star-filled skies. Wake to a silent desert sunrise — one of the most memorable moments any Egypt tour can offer.
Return to Cairo to explore the ancient Christian heritage of Coptic Cairo and the sensory maze of Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Then board your overnight sleeper train to Luxor — Egypt's open-air capital of ancient temples and royal tombs. Two full days cover Karnak Temple
Complex, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and the mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut on the legendary West Bank.
