With one third of all of the world’s antiquities and the only remaining monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Egypt is a superlative destination: astounding, colossal, epic. For thousands of years, travelers have journeyed from all over the world to witness the glorious temples built by the pharaohs. Today, visitors can see these ancient treasures alongside new wonders—from the groundbreaking Grand Egyptian Museum (which is slated to become the largest archaeological museum in the world when it opens) to the glamorous luxury yachts that cruise up and down the Nile. In the words of Indagare founder Melissa Biggs Bradley: “The awe that you feel in the shadow of the pyramids or when surrounded by the still vibrant colors in Nefertari’s Tomb must be experienced to be understood. There is simply no way to comprehend the immensity of this history without going—or returning—as tombs continue to be discovered and treasures unveiled.” Are you ready to see it for yourself?

Trip Highlights

Hear more about this trip from our founder Melissa Biggs Bradley below:


  • Explore with experts in the field of Egyptology at such monuments as the Sphinx and the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza, as well as the groundbreaking Grand Egyptian Museum, the world’s newest archaeological museum (scheduled to be fully open in 2024), the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel and more.

  • Sail down the magnificent Nile River on board the pampering Historia yacht to explore the many treasures of the vast Egyptian landscape.

  • Enjoy expert-guided historic and cultural touring in bustling Cairo, including shopping at the Khan El-Khalili bazaar and an exclusive visit to the historic Abdeen Palace, which was a former residence of the royal family of Egypt and today is one of the official residences and principal workplace of the President of Egypt.

  • Continue the adventure with an Indagare-planned post-journey extension to Jordan—with visits to the “Lost City” of Petra, the hallowed banks of the River Jordan, the vast Wadi Rum desert and the healing Dead Sea.
