Option 3 - Nile River Cruise aboard All Star Fayrouza

The Pyramids of Giza often overshadow equally impressive cultural attractions found along the Nile River that are far less crowded. Along the banks of the river in central and southern Egypt, discover temples and tombs, fascinating architecture, intricate hieroglyphics, and the preserved colors that tell the story of Egypt’s ancient civilization.

For adventure travelers eager to walk through authentic monuments rather than view them in museums, this Nile cruise aboard the All Star Fayrouza is the ultimate luxury experience. Glide along the Nile by day, exploring the same hallways once traveled by Cleopatra and King Tut, then retreat each evening to sumptuous accommodations on this elegant Dahabiya. Gourmet dinners, attentive service, and a serene onboard ambiance make every night as memorable as the day’s adventures.
