Passengers will follow expert guides to legendary locations like the Great Hypostyle Hall of Karnak, the Temple of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings and Queens. They will get private access to the Tomb of Queen Nefertari and a Nubian village. While in Cairo, they'll visit the Great Sphinx and three Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum, and have a private tour of the principal workplace of Egypt's president, the Abdeen Presidential Palace, considered one of the most luxurious palaces in the world.
