Luxor

Originally known as Thebes, Luxor is often dubbed an “open air museum” for its deep history and breathtaking sights.Most ships dock on the east bank, where the city and the temples of Luxor and Karnak are. Across the water, on the west bank, the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut and the Valley of the Kings are both about 15-20 minutes from the port by car.Back in the city, you can visit the Luxor Museum, one of the finest dedicated to ancient Egyptian history. The collections focus on artefacts from the New Kingdom period and the surrounding Theban region. The museum is on the east bank, between Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple. Or, you can head down to the Luxor bazaars to try your own hand at haggling for some jewellery or perfume.A popular excursion from Luxor is an early-morning hot air balloon ride to take in views of the area’s sights as the sun rises.

Day 6

Sokhna

Despite its rich narratives, El Ain El Sokhna often flies under the global tourism radar. It's a hidden gem in the truest sense, less frequented yet brimming with potential for explorers seeking serenity and historical narratives. Although not widely recognized in popular culture, its sands have witnessed the whispers of time, and those in the know have sought to capture its essence. Movies looking to depict untouched landscapes and profound stories often find their backdrop here, allowing the location to slowly steal the spotlight in an unassuming yet powerful manner.

Day 7

Sharm El Sheikh

Day 8

'Aqaba

Aqaba's allure lies in its pristine beaches and vibrant marine life, offering endless opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and watersports. The crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea beckon adventurers to explore colorful coral reefs and exotic fish species. Beyond the coast, Aqaba boasts stunning desert landscapes, perfect for off-road excursions and camel rides. With its relaxed atmosphere and year-round sunshine, Aqaba provides the ideal setting for leisurely beach days and outdoor adventures. Whether you're soaking up the sun on the shores or embarking on a desert safari, Aqaba promises a rejuvenating escape in an idyllic coastal setting.
