Pyramids of Giza & the Sphinx: The last surviving wonder of the ancient world, built 4,500 years ago and still impossible to fully comprehend until you are standing at its base. The scale rewrites everything the photographs prepared you for.
Karnak & the Temples of Luxor: The largest religious complex ever built, a forest of stone columns so tall they were designed to make mortals feel humble before the gods. Walking through it at golden hour is unforgettable.
The Nile at Aswan: The gentlest, most beautiful stretch of the river, dotted with white sails and Nubian villages painted in blues and yellows. A felucca ride here at sunset is the quiet heart of the whole journey.
The Red Sea at Hurghada: After the temples and the desert, the trip ends in the calm waters and beaches of Hurghada. Time to rest, float, and let the history settle before you fly home.

The Nile leads you south.
We check out and spend the morning in Coptic Cairo — one of the oldest Christian areas in Egypt, a labyrinth of ancient churches, quiet courtyards, and centuries of faith layered upon each other. Then the Citadel of Saladin, Cairo’s great medieval fortress, and the Mohammed Ali Mosque (the Alabaster Mosque) — Ottoman architecture framed by panoramic views over the entire city.
Afternoon transfer to Cairo Airport for the domestic flight to Aswan. Arrival in Aswan, transfer to hotel, check in. The pace slows here. The Nile is wider and calmer. You’ll feel it immediately.

Aswan
We board a motorboat to reach Philae Temple — one of the most beautiful ancient Egyptian temples, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temple was relocated stone by stone to its current island to save it from the rising waters of the Aswan Dam — itself a story of extraordinary ambition.
The afternoon takes us to an essential oils and perfume institute, where traditional Egyptian fragrances are prepared following ancient techniques, without alcohol or water. Pure, concentrated scent — the kind that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Abu Simbel
Today is yours. Aswan is one of the most beautiful cities in Egypt — the Nile here is wide and dotted with felucca sails, Nubian villages line the banks, and the pace is gentle. Walk the Corniche, visit the market, or simply sit by the river.
Or, take the optional excursion to Abu Simbel — 220 km south of Aswan, the two colossal temples of King Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari cut directly into the mountainside. This is one of Egypt’s most powerful sights, and for those who make the journey, it is unforgettable.

Luxor
Check out and depart Aswan by private bus. The drive through the Nile Valley is one of Egypt’s quiet pleasures — date palms, green fields, the river glinting to one side, desert cliffs to the other. A landscape that has looked essentially like this since the first pharaoh.
Arrival in Luxor. Check in to the hotel. Afternoon visit to Luxor Temple — a vast complex right in the heart of the city, dramatically lit at sunset and breathtaking after dark. Then a visit to a traditional gold shop and cartouche workshop — where guests can create a personalised cartouche, their own name engraved in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

History speaks at full volume
The West Bank of Luxor is where ancient Egypt buried its greatest rulers. We begin with the Valley of the Kings — the royal burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs, where the walls of the tombs are painted with extraordinary detail, colour, and stories meant to guide the dead to eternity.
Then the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut — one of the most remarkable architectural achievements of the ancient world, built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahri. And finally, the Colossi of Memnon — two giant sandstone statues of King Amenhotep III standing sentinel over the valley. The Alabaster Factory rounds out the day, where traditional Egyptian stonecraft is still practised.

Golden Hour
Breakfast in Luxor. Check out. Private bus across the Eastern Desert toward the Red Sea coast — the landscape shifts dramatically as the Nile Valley gives way to open desert and then, suddenly, the blue of the Red Sea.
We check in to a beach property in Hurghada. The afternoon is yours — sand between your toes, salt in the air, the sound of waves after ten days of ancient stone and desert wind. This is Egypt’s other side: easy, warm, and blue.
In the evening, we watch the sun set over the Red Sea together. The sky turns gold and then pink and then dark — and that’s when it settles in. What you saw. What you felt. What this place did to you. A group dinner to close the trip properly — stories shared, plans made, photographs traded.

Group Transfer to the Airport
One last breakfast by the Red Sea. No temples today. No timelines. Just coffee, the water, and the quiet knowledge that you did something most people only talk about.
Private bus or transfer back to Hurghada Airport — or onward to Cairo for your international flight home. As you board, Egypt will be doing that thing it does — making you wonder, somewhere between the gate and the seat, when you’re coming back.

Additional Information
- Do I need a visa for Egypt? ↓ Yes — Indian passport holders need a tourist visa. The easiest option is on-arrival at Cairo International Airport, approximately USD 25. Alternatively, you can apply for an Egypt e-visa online before departure. We walk you through the process after booking.
- Is Egypt safe for women travellers? ↓ Egypt is a major international tourism destination with well-established infrastructure. With a Jugni group you have an English-speaking licensed guide, a Jugni trip leader, and a small group of women travelling together. Tourist areas in Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor are well-managed. We always brief the group on local customs before we travel.
- What is the weather like? ↓ Egypt is warm to hot throughout the year. Summer (July–August) is the hottest — Cairo and Luxor can reach 38–42°C. The ideal time to visit is October to April when temperatures are milder (20–28°C). We plan our trips in the cooler months. Confirm dates with us for the season we are running this batch.
- A cartouche is an oval-shaped frame used by ancient Egyptian pharaohs to enclose their names in hieroglyphics — a symbol of eternity and protection. In Luxor you can have your name written in hieroglyphics and engraved on a cartouche in gold or silver. It is one of the most unique and personal souvenirs you can bring home from Egypt.
- The hot air balloon over Luxor (USD 155) is something most travellers say they are glad they did — truly exceptional. The Philae Sound & Light Show (USD 50) is a lovely evening if you enjoy atmosphere over information. None are required — all can be decided once you're there.
- I've never travelled internationally. Is this trip right for me? ↓ Many of Jugni's Egypt travellers have taken their first international trip with us. Egypt is extraordinary — and with a guide, a Jugni leader, and a small group of women around you, it is also entirely manageable. We help you with flights, visa, packing, and every question in between. You just show up.
- Why isn't a 3–4 day Nile cruise included in the itinerary? ↓ A Nile cruise isn't active sailing — it's mostly passive. The boat stays docked in one city for much of the day while you do your excursions by vehicle anyway. Instead, we've built in the beautiful Nubian Village experience, which is far more rewarding than sitting on a boat that barely moves during the day. And you don't miss out on the river at all — you'll enjoy a Nile dinner cruise on Day 01.
