Mid-journey, embark upon your private dahabiya—a traditional Egyptian sailing vessel— for four relaxing days and nights along the Nile River.
Be captivated by the intricate carvings inside the unique temple of Kom Ombo.
Visit Elephantine Island—the only ongoing excavation site open to tourists—to view its sacred temples and traditional Nubian villages.
During an optional excursion (additional fee), visit the temples of Abu Simbel carved into a massive rock cliff, which were relocated and perfectly reconstructed after building the High Dam in the early 1960s.

Excellent history and culture trip. The Egyptologists with us were so well educated and excellent teachers. Orbridge gets it right with accommodations, scheduling, and transportation while on the trip. Including all charges, except alcohol, takes the hassle of keeping money readily available. Also, traveling with fellow alumni and alums form other schools makes for wonderful travel mates
