Take a tour down the Nile River from the comfort of your home! Our cruise begins in the Delta Valley with a stop at the Great Pyramids and the new Grand Egyptian Museum. Then, we make our way down the Nile River with our first stop at the Temple Complex of Karnak, one of the most famous Ancient Egyptian sites. We continue south and visit Esna and Dendera, exploring the unique architecture and stunning color remnants inside the temples. Archaeological methods and hidden gems all to be discovered!
