Egypt – The Pharaoh Experience

February 14 - February 24, 2027

Optional Red Sea Extension: February 24 - February 28, 2027

The small group travel community PhotoFly Travel Club (https://www.photoflytravel.com/) has a brand new trip to Egypt – check this out! Few places on Earth offer a travel experience as rich, layered, and otherworldly as Egypt. This is a land where ancient history pulses beneath your feet, and every sunrise seems to rise over 5,000 years of stories. Start in Cairo and stand awestruck before the mighty Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx — icons that defy time. Wander through the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, a modern marvel housing the full Tutankhamun collection and more artifacts than you can dream of. A cruise on the Nile River isn’t just a way to travel—it’s a journey through the cradle of civilization. Drifting from Aswan to Luxor, you’ll pass sun-baked villages, palm-lined riverbanks, and colossal monuments that rise from the desert like mirages. No place captures Egypt’s magic like Luxor, home to some of the most spectacular ruins on Earth. On the East Bank, walk through the towering colonnades of Karnak Temple and cross the river to the West Bank, where the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut’s Temple will leave you speechless. There’s also an optional extension on the Red Sea at a luxury resort for ultimate relaxation!
