The trip opens in Cairo, before the treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum and the pyramids of Giza, the last wonder of the ancient world still standing. A flight then leads to Aswan, where Philae temple seems to rise from the water, before boarding for three nights of cruising on the Nile.
The boat sails downriver from one temple to the next: Edfu and its Temple of Horus, among the best preserved in the country, Kom Ombo, dedicated to both the crocodile god and the falcon god, then Luxor and the vast Karnak complex. At dawn, a hot-air balloon can fly over the valley for those who wish.
Three nights in Hurghada, on the Red Sea, then offer time to rest. The last day returns to Cairo for Saladin's Citadel, Memphis and the Step Pyramid of Saqqara.

Travel insurance (trip cancellation and interruption, emergency medical care, baggage)Synergia network group departures
Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.
What sets these departures apart
- A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
- A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
- A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
- Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it
