Egypt & the Eternal Nile | November 30 - December 15, 2026
Travel with alumni and friends from November 30 - December 14, on a special 15-day small group tour of Egypt. Led by an expert Egyptian guide, witness thousands of years of history on a unique, exciting itinerary.
Begin in Egypt’s capital and largest city, Cairo, with a tour to the Grand Egyptian Museum and historic Old Cairo. Experience Giza’s astounding pyramids and Sphinx. Embarking on a fascinating three-night Lake Nasser cruise from Abu Simbel to Aswan, visit ancient Nubia’s outstanding temples and Aswan’s massive dam. A classic four-night Nile voyage from Aswan to Luxor follows, with opportunities to sail aboard a traditional felucca and explore Luxor’s awe-inspiring temples. Returning to Cairo, we navigate the colorful Khan el-Khalili bazaar, Cairo’s most popular and believed to be the largest in the Middle East, if not the world and splendid Sakkara. Discover fabled Petra, ancient Jerash, and Amman with an optional 5-day/4-night post-tour Jordan extension.
