Egypt 2 week vacation with Nile cruise

Planet

The trip includes an overnight sleeper train between Cairo and Luxor, followed by overland travel between Luxor and Hurghada. This gives travelers the opportunity to experience more of Egypt’s landscapes, farms, villages and desert scenery along the way.

For the Nile Cruise and Red Sea part of the trip, we encourage travelers to respect the natural surroundings and follow guidance from local guides and activity providers, particularly when visiting marine areas. Guests are encouraged to bring refillable bottles and avoid single-use plastics throughout the journey.

Travelers are also reminded to take their waste with them, respect archaeological sites and follow local guidance when visiting the Nile and Red Sea areas.

People

This trip gives travelers opportunities to meet local people and learn more about life in the places they visit. We try to work with local guides, drivers, accommodation providers and restaurants whenever possible, helping travelers connect with local businesses during their journey.

During the trip, guests can visit local markets, small workshops and places where artisans still work by hand. Buying from local businesses gives travelers an opportunity to support the people they meet and learn more about traditional products and skills.

We aim to treat our staff and local partners fairly, make payments on time and maintain long-term working relationships. Guides share information about local customs and traditions and encourage respectful interactions with the communities visited.

By working with local people and businesses, we aim to keep the journey connected to the places and communities travelers experience along the way.
