Even before the airplane doors open, the scent of river mud and salt air settles in: Cairo’s traffic blurs into flat desert, the Nile carries you south through palm fringes, and the Red Sea waits like a bright wound of cobalt. Over ten days travelers move from the metropolis of Cairo through the living history of Luxor and Aswan, then on to Hurghada for reef dives and resort rest.
