Egypt in 16 days with an individually extended programme

Egypt in 16 days with an individually extended programme is a multi-day private journey planned at a calm, easy-to-follow pace for your group. Instead of merely naming places, this programme explains what you can actually experience at each stage.

The route connects Cairo, Minya, Sohag, Dendera Temple, Abydos, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel temples. Travel is planned using a combination selected for the route, with the pace, breaks and order shaped around the stated duration and starting point.

What you experience on this journey

• Connect Cairo’s great historical periods. Depending on the confirmed route, experience pharaonic monuments, major museums and historic quarters, revealing the contrasts of the capital.
• Middle Egypt’s rock tombs and landscape. Explore selected archaeological sites around Minya, discovering rock-cut tombs, reliefs and the cultivated Nile Valley.
• Lesser-visited temple landscapes around Sohag. Discover selected cult sites of Middle Egypt, with important reliefs and temple history away from the busiest routes.
• Astronomy and colour inside Dendera Temple. Explore columned halls, astronomical scenes and colourful ceiling reliefs in the exceptionally preserved Temple of Hathor.
• Royal lists and reliefs at Abydos. Visit the Temple of Seti I, examine finely carved reliefs and trace Egypt’s rulers through the celebrated king list.
• Understand Luxor’s East and West Banks. Connect the temples of the living city on the East Bank with royal tombs and mortuary temples on the West Bank.
• Aswan’s islands, temples and Nile landscape. Experience Aswan’s granite landscape, quiet Nile islands and selected temples or engineering landmarks on the confirmed programme.
• The colossal temples of Abu Simbel. Stand before the monumental façades of Ramesses II and Nefertari, enter the temples and learn about their extraordinary relocation.
