Travel isn't just about places — it's about people, stories, and culture. On a journey with EY Travel Egypt, you'll experience the living heart of Egypt along the Nile River, from Luxor's ancient splendor to Aswan's warm hospitality.
Luxor: Where Ancient Splendor Meets Modern Life
In Luxor, you'll start your day floating high in a hot air balloon, watching the sunrise over temples that have stood for 3,000 years. This magical experience connects you to the same landscape that pharaohs and priests witnessed millennia ago.
As you drift silently above the Nile, you'll see the patchwork of fields, the winding river, and the monumental temples from a perspective that few experience — a truly spiritual beginning to your cultural journey.
Guided by Egyptologists
On the ground, you'll explore Karnak, Luxor Temple, and the Valley of the Kings, guided by Egyptologists who reveal the secrets behind every carving. These aren't just historical lectures — they're passionate storytelling sessions that bring ancient Egyptian culture to life through the eyes of those who understand it best.
Aswan: The Rhythm of Nubian Life
Continue to Aswan, a city known for its beauty and calm rhythm. Here, life moves with the river. The slower pace allows for deeper connections with local people and their centuries-old traditions.
Visit the Nubian villages, where colorful houses line the water and music fills the air. These vibrant communities maintain cultural practices that date back to ancient times, offering a living connection to Egypt's diverse heritage.
Culinary & Craft Traditions
Savor authentic Egyptian dishes in local homes, learning about spices and cooking techniques passed down through generations. From koshary and ful medames to sweet basbousa, each meal tells a story of cultural exchange and local ingredients.
Learn about local crafts from artisans who continue ancient traditions — pottery, weaving, and jewelry-making that reflect both Pharaonic and Nubian influences in their designs and techniques.
The Living Nile: Feluccas & Sunset Sails
Enjoy a felucca sail as the sun dips below the horizon, experiencing the Nile as Egyptians have for thousands of years. These traditional wooden sailing boats offer an intimate connection with the river that motorized vessels can't match.
As you glide silently across the water, you'll hear the sounds of daily life from the riverbanks — children playing, merchants calling, and the gentle rhythm of a civilization that has always depended on this life-giving river.
