9 Days Cairo, Alexandria & Nile Cruise by Train

This 9-day itinerary is designed for African American and Black travelers who want to experience Egypt as an African story, from ancient Kemet to the Nubian south.

Stand before the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, walk through thousands of years of history at the Grand Egyptian Museum, and feel the energy of historic Cairo and the Khan El Khalili bazaar. In Alexandria, explore the Citadel of Qaitbay on the Mediterranean, the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and the city’s Greco-Roman past. Sail the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, the river route that linked Egypt and Nubia for thousands of years, stopping at the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way.

Why travel with Black Egypt Tours: licensed English-speaking Egyptologist guides who tell Egypt’s story as an African civilization, private transfers, hand-picked hotels and cruises, and 24/7 WhatsApp support from arrival to departure. Traveling as a family, a couple, or with your church, sorority, fraternity, or community group? We can adapt this itinerary for you.
