Your adventure begins in Cairo, where you’ll visit the legendary Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the world-renowned Egyptian Museum. From there we embark on a multi-day luxury Nile River cruise. You’ll travel to Aswan, where you’ll connect with the warmth and beauty of Nubian culture, visit Philae Temple, and soak in the stunning landscapes of southern Egypt. Next, we travel to Luxor and along the way, you’ll explore the West Bank — including the Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple — and the East Bank, home to the magnificent Karnak and Luxor Temples.
To top off this unforgettable experience, we’ll retreat to the Red Sea city of Hurghada for several days of rest and rejuvenation. Enjoy crystal-clear waters, luxury beachfront accommodations, and time to reflect on your incredible journey through the land of the pharaohs.

You’ll enjoy luxury accommodations, expert Egyptologist guides, curated excursions, and a powerful sense of community as you journey with like-minded women.
