VISIT: Cairo – Day 1 to 3

Cairo is a city where ancient wonders and the modern hustle and bustle coexist. The skyline tells a story of centuries past colliding with the pulse of 21st-century life.

The scent of spices fills the air in the vibrant souks, while the timeless silhouette of the Pyramids of Giza looms in the distance, a constant reminder of Egypt’s unparalleled heritage. This is a city that is always on the move—its streets pulse with energy, the cafes hum with conversation, and its nightlife sparkles under the stars. Cairo is a place where history isn’t just something you visit; it’s something you live, breathe, and feel in every corner of this endlessly fascinating metropolis.

STAY: Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence

Cairo is a city where ancient history meets modern convenience and nowhere is this showcased more beautifully than at the Four Seasons. A sleek tower of steel and glass on the Nile’s western banks, it offers stunning views of the city and the Pyramids of Giza. Inside, the hotel dazzles with marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and intricate tapestries, blending luxury with contemporary amenities.

Located on Giza Street, it’s moments from Cairo’s iconic landmarks and bustling markets, making it the perfect base to experience both the city’s past and present.

EXPLORE: The Nile – Day 3 to 6

Few names stir as much wonder as the Nile, the world’s longest river and a timeless thread through Egyptian life. A cruise along its banks offers a perfect blend of history and serenity. You’ll pass iconic landmarks like Luxor’s temples and the Temple of Horus in Edfu, but it’s the river’s everyday life that really enchants: children splashing in the shallows, farmers tending their fields, and the sails of feluccas catching the breeze. A Nile cruise is not just a journey through history—it’s a journey into the heart of Egypt.

STAY: Sonesta Star Goddess

The Sonesta Star Goddess honours the world’s greatest composers with 33 luxurious suites, including 27 Beethoven Suites, 4 Mozart Suites, and 2 Chopin Suites, each with a private terrace. Onboard, enjoy fine dining in the main dining room, casual meals on the sun deck, and cocktails in the stylish lounge with a dance floor. For relaxation, there’s a spa, fitness center, sauna, and nightly entertainment. A journey aboard the Sonesta Star Goddess blends music, comfort, and elegance for an unforgettable experience.

DISCOVER: Luxor – Day 6 to 7

When you think of Egypt, Luxor, home to some of the world’s most iconic ancient sites, likely comes to mind. On the West Bank, the Valley of the Kings holds the tombs of pharaohs, richly decorated in honour of the dead. On the East Bank, the vast Temples of Karnak stand as a testament to Egypt’s religious grandeur. For an unforgettable experience, take a sunrise hot-air balloon ride over the temples or enjoy a sunset felucca cruise on the Nile with a refreshing drink in hand.

STAY: Hilton Luxor Resort and Spa

Steeped in the grandeur of Egypt’s ancient past, Luxor is a city where history lives and breathes. Perched on the East Bank of the Nile, with stunning views of the Valley of the Kings, the Hilton offers the perfect base to immerse yourself in this timeless destination. The hotel exudes sophistication, from its elegant interiors to its array of exceptional dining options, including intimate private dinners by the river’s edge. The resort also offers a tranquil spa, fitness center, and outdoor pools, providing the perfect retreat near Luxor’s historic treasures.

EXPERIENCE: Hurghada – Stay 7 to 9

Hurghada is a premier diving destination, known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine life. Explore the Dolphin House Reef, a nursery for dolphins, or dive at Careless Reef with its striking coral towers and eels. If you’re prefer life on dry land, Hurghada offers luxury resorts with spas, pools, and pristine beaches. Enjoy fresh seafood by the shore, sunset cocktails, and explore further with boat trips, desert adventures, camel rides, and quad biking.

STAY: Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay

With its lush grounds dotted with palms and shimmering blue waterways, the Kempinski feels more like a palace by the sea.

Set along the coveted Red Sea Riviera, the resort is surrounded by water on all sides, with exclusive access to one of the most pristine beaches on the coast. By day, relax in the jacuzzi with a cocktail in hand, indulge in a rose petal body mask, or dive into adventure with snorkeling, parasailing, and catamaran cruises. As the sun sets, a candlelit dinner on the beach offers the perfect end to a magical day.
