Travelers can explore Egypt and its fascinating history on an 11-night Secrets of Egypt and the Nile journey with luxury river cruise line AmaWaterways. 

The journey begins with a three-night land package in Cairo where travelers can enjoy an Egyptologist-led tour through the Egyptian Museum, home to the magnificent artifacts like King Tutankhamen’s many treasures.

Along the way, they’ll enjoy a private tour of the Tomb of Queen Nefertari, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, the Temple of Horus, Abu Simbel, the Great Temple of Kom Ombo and more. 

Each night while on the ship, guests are entertained with cultural experiences from cooking classes to traditional performances.
