More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Cairo International and the city folds around you—horns, incense, the distant silhouette of the Great Pyramid against a low sun. Over nine days that hum becomes a timeline: stone after stone on the Giza plateau, the Nile’s slow current carrying villages and palm groves past your cruise deck, and finally the Red Sea’s glassy reefs spilling color beneath a bright sky.
