Update (5:09PM ET, Aug. 14): Due to high demand, the following dates are now sold out: Sept. 9, 16; April 28.  However, because of the popularity of this tour, Friendly Planet is offering this tour on Sept. 22 at $1699.  

Cruise in the shadow of the Sphinx and Pyramids on this amazing 9-day/7-night land-and-river Egypt vacation from Friendly Planet Travel. For $1599 per person, the package includes airfare from New York, hotel stays in Cairo and Aswan and a 3-night cruise of the Nile River. 

This is an unbelievable value, considering rising fuel surcharges and the fact that airfare alone typically costs this much.

Your Egyptian adventure includes extensive touring, first class hotel hotel stays in the cities of Cairo and Luxor, discovering the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza (one of the Seven Wonders of the World) and cruising the Nile River from Aswan to Luxor.

The Egypt package overview:

• Roundtrip flights including fuel surcharges from New York City (JFK) via Egypt Air (nonstop)
• All Intra-Egypt flights and transfers
• First-class hotels: Ramses Hilton in Cairo (3 nights), Basma Hotel in Aswan (1 night)
• 3-night deluxe Nile cruise in an outside cabin including all shore excursions
• Famous Pyramids & Sphinx of Giza tours
• Breakfast daily and all meals on cruise
• Professional English-speaking tour director throughout the entire trip

For the $1599 package, depart on Sept. 9, 16 or April 28. For $300 more, depart on Oct. 7. Other travel dates through April are also available at a discounted rate.

Travelzoo Tip:  For the distance you'll be traveling, it's worth it to upgrade your Egypt vacation with the Lost City of Petra in Jordan 3-night extension which includes flights, 5-star hotels and guided touring for $400-$500 more.

Note: Taxes on this package are approximately $125.
