Why Egypt? We doubt this question really needs to be asked. Have you ever dreamed of cruising the Nile and standing in awe of the pyramids in Giza? Here is your chance.
We offer two different tours to Egypt. The one-week tour is for travelers who are short on vacation time but want to check the main highlights off their list and still cruise the Nile for a few nights.
The longer February tour is a deeper look at Egypt, featuring a private seven-night charter of the 1917 SS Karim, a boat once owned by kings. It is built for travelers who can take two weeks and really dive into the many sites of Egypt.

What Travelers Say
Verbatim, from travelers on this trip.
“Rarely do I say that it was a privilege to be part of a vacation but this was definitely that and more. The S.S. Karim is a national treasure, a floating museum and the last steam powered paddle wheel on the Nile. Sailing down the Nile in the company of an accomplished local egyptologist who enthusiastically took us through each archeological site that we stopped at was amazing. Our travel guide Jewel had everything in place and everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Cultured Travel.”

This was the best travel experience of our lives.The group so compatible, great energy, wonderful companionship. The itinerary was matched by our guide Sami who was as articulate as he was knowledgeable. The Kerem was a jewel and the cuisine unmatched and bountiful. Anyone who would have the opportunity to travel with Cultured Travel would be so happy. Egypt is a not miss destination. We cannot thank Jewel enough for the best travel can offer.
