Begin in Cairo with Fast Track airport service, 3 luxury hotel nights, and private guided tours of the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Great Pyramids of Giza, and the Sphinx. Fly to Luxor and board the Oberoi Philae — 22 panoramic Nile-view suites with temperature-controlled pool, full-service spa, fitness center, beauty salon, and fine dining — for 4 nights of Nile sailing: Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, Medinet Habu, Deir El Madina, Colossi of Memnon, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan High Dam, Philae Temple, and the Nubian Museum by private motorboat.
