Exploring Egypt Aboard *Sun Goddess*

Explore Egypt’s spectacular highlights on this 9-day exploration in the Land of Pharaohs and Gods. Enter iconic pyramids to discover impossibly vibrant depictions of life in ancient Egypt. Be dwarfed by Karnak Temple’s 70-foot columns and discover the long-held secrets of the Valley of the Kings. A Nile cruise has been a rite of passage for generations, and you will follow in the paths of Mark Twain and Agatha Christie as you explore the banks of this fabled river aboard the graceful *Sun* *Goddess*. See legendary sites like the Sphinx, Luxor Temple and Abu Simbel while traveling by private flights and elegant small ship. As with the 12-day Passage Through Egypt aboard *Oberoi Philae*, the many exceptional pleasures of this shorter expedition also include first-class hotels and the company of renowned Egyptologists.
