An incredible adventure around historical Egypt covers many diverse centuries from the ancient Egyptians to later centuries, including the Ottoman Turks to Christian and Jewish settlers.

Sailing along the River Nile will be an epic historical journey with beautiful landscapes of the Nile delta.
One of the best ways to explore the enchanting allure of Egypt is our 9 Days and 8 Nights Cairo and Luxor Tour Package.

Saqqara is truly an open-air museum with ancient Egyptian history on display. Kings and noblemen from the first two dynasties (c.3100–2686 BC) were buried here, and this is also the location of the Step Pyramid of Djoser (c.2686–2613 BC), the world’s oldest monumental structure entirely made of stone. Memphis was the city and capital of ancient Egypt and an important center during much of Egyptian history. Memphis is located south of the Nile River delta, on the river’s west bank, and about 15 miles (24 km) south of modern Cairo. Closely associated with the ancient city’s site are the cemeteries, or Necropolises, of Memphis, where the famous pyramids of Egypt are located.
