My Experience
We began our journey in Luxor, boarding a luxury Nile cruise that became our floating hotel for the next four nights. Exploring the Karnak and Luxor Temples at sunset was truly magical. The West Bank gave us goosebumps — standing in front of the Valley of the Kings was a surreal moment. The journey from Edfu to Kom Ombo to Aswan via the Nile felt like a dream, complete with horse carriages and riverside sunsets.
In Sharm El Sheikh, we were joined by Arpita, Ashish, Akanksha, Shrikant, and Arjit for a joyful Christmas by the sea. Relaxing at the Four Seasons, enjoying spa treatments, and snorkelling in Ras Mohammed National Park made it feel like two trips in one cultural and coastal.
Cairo swept us off our feet with the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum. Watching the sun set behind the Sphinx and strolling through Old Cairo’s charming streets gave our trip the perfect finish. It was a mix of luxury, learning, and laughter a true family adventure.
