These are lands of powerful pharaohs — great deserts where, thousands of years ago, people lifted columns and erected monuments to rulers like Cheops, Rameses and Nefertari. This is Egypt, in all its ancient and modern glory. Visit the Great Pyramids and the eternal Sphinx at Giza, stroll past colonnades of ancient temples, and study hieroglyphics that bring long-ago dynasties to life again. See it all in the comfort and luxury of hotels and ships provided by Viking’s partners — the world’s finest hosts.
Encounter bustling Cairo and Luxor, an open air museum of antiquities. Cruise the mighty Nile between Luxor and Aswan, where you see the dam that finally tamed the great river. And, you can also sail across Lake Nasser to the monuments of Abu Simbel. You will be escorted by expert Egyptologists who enlighten you on the myth and mystery of Egypt.
