Egypt

Where Pharaohs’ heritage, river opulence, and ancient wonder meet.

Egypt is a curated odyssey through the cradle of civilization. Begin in Cairo, where private guided walks through the Pyramids and Sphinx reveal secrets of dynasties, and exclusive access sets the scene for something extraordinary. Glide south by luxury dahabiya or felucca along the Nile, drifting past the colossal temples of Luxor and Karnak, then onward to Aswan’s palm-lined quays and quiet botanical gardens. Enjoy princely hospitality in historic riverfront hotels, curator-led museum access, and candlelit dinners under desert skies. Whether unearthing ancient tombs or drifting between temple silhouettes, Egypt offers a rare blend of archaeology, elegance, and timeless discovery.
