Jules Verne - The Wonders of Egypt Brochure

Voyage Jules Verne presents The Wonders of Egypt brochure, inviting travellers to embark on a journey of discovery through ancient lands aboard small group tours and Nile cruises. From the indomitable Pyramids, the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, to the Temples of Karnak, built across a period of 2,000 years, Egypt is a never-ending treasure trove of history and culture.

New Tours and Cruises

Voyage Jules Verne has designed trips to extract the very best of the country, from bucket-list sites to rarely visited gems sought out by their team of experts. Nile cruises range from four to 14 nights, catering to every traveller from the first-time visitor to the Egypt expert.

• Lake Nasser & the Nile — a 10-night trip combining a land stay in Cairo with four nights on Lake Nasser and three nights from Aswan to Luxor on the MS Hamees; the only itinerary that visits the temples of Lake Nasser by water.
• The Timeless Nile by Royal Steamer — sailing the SS Misr, home to just 24 cabins, with décor befitting its royal heritage and original steam engines still viewable, including visits to Abu Simbel and the rarely visited temple of Denderah dedicated to Hathor.
• Classic Week on the Nile — a week-long trip aboard the MS Hamees, taking in the Valley of the Kings, Kom Ombo, Edfu temple and Aswan.
• Leisurely Luxor — an eight-day Unpack & Explore itinerary based in Luxor, staying at the Pavillon Winter Hotel within the grounds of the Old Winter Palace.
• Gems of Cairo — a four-night stay with full-day tours to the Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and the Egyptian Museum.

Established Cruises

Alongside the new tours, the brochure showcases existing cruises. Newcomers desiring the classic experiences are recommended Pyramids & the Nile, while those craving a less trodden path may choose the 10-night Treasures of the Nile aboard the Moroccan-inspired MS Darakum. The Secret Nile, the most extended cruise, follows Treasures of the Nile for the initial 10 days, with the remaining four days unveiling the West Bank's hidden temples. The 600-Mile Nile reveals both renowned and overlooked wonders.

Aboard the SS Misr

The journey on the SS Misr promises unparalleled onboard experiences. A Royal Steamer Restored offers a seven-night voyage departing and returning to Luxor, while The Original Nile by Royal Steamer traverses the entire 600-mile stretch from Aswan to Cairo.
