A glimpse of eternity in Cairo
Your Egyptian escapade begins in the heart of Cairo. From the moment you arrive, AmaWaterways’ dedicated team will ensure your every need is met with an evening welcome reception with drinks and tapas, setting the stage for a fuss-free and enchanting experience. Step back thousands of years at the Egyptian Museum, wandering through halls that house mummies, glittering treasures, and the intriguing riches of King Tutankhamun, this is a brand new experience for 2025. Then, proceed to the breathtaking Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum in the world, where stories of the pharaohs are brought vividly to life.
The pyramids and a step back in time
Standing tall against the vast desert sky, the Pyramids of Giza are a sight that, even thousands of years after their creation, still leaves visitors awestruck. The sheer size and mystery of these ancient structures are humbling. Explore the Sphinx and wander through the necropolis of Memphis, home to the fascinating Step Pyramid of King Zoser, the oldest of its kind. Feel like royalty as you pause for lunch at the elegant Mena House hotel, opulently nestled under the shadows of the pyramids—a dining experience worthy of the setting.
The AmaWaterways Experience – your floating palace
Your journey continues by the river as you step aboard AmaWaterways’ AmaDahlia or AmaLilia which feels like being welcomed into a private palace. These ships redefine river cruising with their intimate and stylish design, boasting features such as spacious suites with panoramic views, inviting sun decks with a pool and bar, and curated fine dining that blends world-class culinary creations with regional flavours.
Wellness enthusiasts can enjoy the onboard spa and fitness centre, or you can simply relax and enjoy a cocktail on the deck, watching Egyptian villages float by. Your Cruise Manager will be with you every step of your journey, as well as expertly trained Egyptologists, who will share the many mysteries and secrets that have shaped Egypt’s past and continue to influence its future.
Mysteries of the Nile
Sailing south, the magic continues in Luxor, home to the enigmatic Valley of the Kings and the ornate Valley of the Queens. Walk where pharaohs once tread and marvel at Queen Nefertari’s Tomb (or its equally stunning alternative, Seti I Tomb). The colours and artistry in these tombs are so vivid, it feels like the centuries have melted away.
Evenings aboard the ship are just as captivating. Don traditional clothing for a themed cultural night, sip cocktails under a sky pierced by glowing stars, and enjoy the elegant simplicity of life along the Nile. Your adventure concludes in Cairo, but not before a regal and exclusive visit to the Abdeen Presidential Palace and an enlightening stroll through the soul-stirring Coptic Quarter.
