Private Egyptologist Tour: Carnarvon's Egypt: 10 nights from £4995

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - Nov. 5, 2025 - PRLog -- UK specialist Corinthian Travel has introduced a new, private tour to Egypt, which includes a day at the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, with an expert Egyptologist guide.

The carefully crafted itinerary, promises to deliver an in-depth immersion into the mysteries, monuments, religion and lifestyle of the ancient Egyptians.

Putting you centre stage, Carnarvon's Egypt (https://www.corinthiantravel.co.uk/tours/private-egyptologist-tour-carnarvons-egypt/) will provide one fascinating unbroken narrative on Egyptian civilisation as you journey through the 'Two Lands'.

Travel beyond the great pyramids of Giza to learn about the origins of pyramid construction at Saqqara and see the curious pyramids at Dashur.

Spend a full day exploring the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) – a must for anyone who wants to do justice to this unique, spellbinding collection.  Just 2km from the Giza pyramid complex – construction began back in 2012 and now hosts over 100,000 artifacts from ancient Egyptian civilisation.

While in Upper Egypt, the itinerary will take you off the beaten track to visit Abydos, the cult centre of Osiris, god of the underworld, and to see the amazingly well-preserved Temple of Hathor at Dendera.

No archaeologically focused tour of Egypt would be complete without having at least a full day dedicated to discovering the stunning rock-cut tombs and mortuary temples on Luxor's West Bank.

Also included, are the massive Temples of Amon-Ra at Karnak – the origin of all creation – when floodlit.

A relaxed Nile Cruise will then bring you to the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo.  In Aswan, your private Egyptologist will guide you around the Temple of Isis on Philae Island.

The itinerary concludes with a visit to the mighty rock-cut temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel – the ultimate symbol of ancient Egyptian power.

The holiday costs from £4995 per person, based on two people sharing a room.   This includes 10-nights' B&B (plus four lunches and four dinners), private transportation throughout, private accompanying Egyptologist guide (days 2 to 10), domestic flights (Cairo/Luxor, Aswan/Abu Simbel, Abu Simbel/Cairo), and entrance fees for specified sightseeing.
