DAY

Cairo

After breakfast at the hotel, depart for your full day tour to visit the Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian museum. Pyramids and Sphinx were reckoned by the Greeks to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A single pyramid is built of 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of two and one-half tons. In the face of such immensity, one cannot help but feel the wonder and awe that so many writers and artists have sought to convey over the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its interior burial chambers are open for inspection by the public. Not far from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from the time of Chephren (2620BC). Hewn from natural yellowish limestone and standing 65 feet high and 187 feet long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion's body. The Grand Egyptian Museum is designed to be the largest archaeological museum in the world. This colossal building will house 100,000 antiquities, some of which have never before been shown in public. The collection consisting of King Tut's tomb and tens of thousands of other rare and unique archaeological finds has found a new home in a museum built on the plateau of the pyramids of Giza. The museum will house all the objects discovered in Tutankhamen Tomb. Actually 1500 pieces were displayed in the Egyptian Museum; in the Grand Museum all the 5000 pieces will be displayed. So as not to disfigure the Giza Plateau, it has been built a small distance away, downhill from the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. If its size and the complexity of its design match those of the pyramids, so too did the challenges associated with its construction.

Cairo to Luxor

Today, you’ll transfer to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor, gateway to ancient Thebes. Upon arrival, board your elegant Nile cruise ship, your floating sanctuary for the next five days as you sail through the heart of Egypt’s timeless landscapes. This afternoon, discover the splendor of Luxor Temple, once the ceremonial heart of the great Opet Festival, where pharaohs were united with the divine. Built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II, its grand colonnades and statues echo the power and spirituality of Egypt’s golden age. Continue to the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple complex, a vast city of temples dedicated to Amun, Mut, and Montu, built and expanded over 1,300 years. Walk among towering columns and sacred avenues where gods and kings were once honored - a place where history, faith, and artistry still whisper through the stones.

DAY

Luxor to Edfu

After breakfast visit the West Bank and the burial ground of the Pharaohs including the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. The Valley of the Kings in Upper Egypt is home to many pharaonic tombs of the New Kingdom, including those of King Tutankhamen and Ramses the Great. Each king's formal name and title is inscribed in his tomb, which is also adorned with his images and statues. Most of the tombs were cut into limestone following a similar pattern: three corridors, an antechamber, and a sunken sarcophagus chamber. The small town of Edfu is situated on the west bank of the Nile, 56 km south of Esna and 105 km north of Aswan. Today, it is an important centre for sugar production and pottery-making. The site of Edfu was known as Wetjetser-hor (classical name-Apollinopolos Magna), the place where the god Horus was worshipped and where the battle between Horus and his traditional enemy, Seth, in the ancient mythology, took place.

DAY

Edfu to Kom Ombo to Aswan

This morning you will visit the wonderfully preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu. The temple is perhaps the best preserved in all of Egypt and ranks second behind Karnak, simply because of its immense size. At the temple's entrance stand two large black granite statues of Horus who is depicted as a falcon. The elaborate carvings on the walls of the temple are beautiful as if carved just yesterday. Inside the temple is a small sanctuary where the priests of the day offered the best parts of the animals to the gods. Continue sailing to Kom Ombo to visit the Graeco Roman style Temple of Sobek. Standing serenely on a hilltop, the site offers an incredible view over the Nile. Kom Ombo is located on a bend in the Nile River about 50 km north of Aswan. Located on the east bank, Kom Ombo is home to an unusual double Temple of Sobek built during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. The temple is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris (Horus the Elder). Despite being badly damaged, the temple is a beautiful sight as you approach from either direction on the river, particularly as sunset nears and the colours change.

Aswan

Today’s exploration reveals the serene beauty and history of Aswan, Egypt’s sun-drenched southern city. Begin with a visit to the remarkable High Dam—an engineering triumph that forever changed the landscape of the Nile. Nearby, the graceful Temple of Philae awaits, once submerged by rising waters and lovingly relocated to Agilika Island. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this sacred sanctuary evokes the timeless myth of love and resurrection through its exquisite carvings and tranquil courtyards. Wander among its shrines, pylons, and the charming Birth House, set amid gardens designed to mirror its original island home. With its golden light, gentle pace, and vibrant Nubian spirit, Aswan invites you to slow down—perhaps stroll along the Corniche, watch feluccas drift across the river, or savor freshly caught fish as the music of the Nile drifts on the evening breeze.

We went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is.

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack
