You step out of Cairo International into dry air and the low hum of the city — your escort waits with an accessible vehicle, and the first view of the Giza Plateau rises like ordered geometry against the skyline. On this eight-day loop you trade Cairo’s bustling streets for the slow, river-borne rhythm of the Nile: stone temples stacked with hieroglyphs, a felucca-lined horizon at sunset, and the gentle mechanics of a wheelchair-accessible cruise as you glide between Luxor and Aswan.
