To mark the long anticipated opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum near the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo, Captain’s Choice are inviting guests to join them on their 2026 A Journey of the Gods itinerary: a 16-day exploration of Egypt that combines history with luxury.
The journey begins in Cairo and is guided by top Egyptologists, seeing hidden parts of the Great Pyramids, the Khufu Ship and even the feet of the Sphinx, as well as an expert-led tour of the world’s largest institution dedicated to a single civilisation – the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum.
Guests then embark on the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer for a river cruise to Aswan, stopping at remote and lesser-visited sites including Hathor Temple, Tell el-Amarna, El Minya, Beni Hassan, and Sohag. After the cruise there’s a charter flight to the massive Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel. At every stage the group is small (max 55 guests) and stays incorporate high end residences, including the refined St Regis Cairo.
For those seeking a longer adventure across the Middle East, Captain’s Choice offers two remarkable journeys that complement their Egypt itinerary and are designed to be booked together. Before Egypt, guests can explore Jordan’s Ancient Customs & Civilisations, uncovering the wonders of Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea (learn more here). Afterward, the Desert Sands & Monuments of Saudi Arabia journey reveals the country’s striking contrasts, from the Red Sea coast to the awe-inspiring rock-cut monuments of AlUla (learn more here).
This 16 day trip departs on 26th September 2026. Prices start from £14,650 per person and incorporate everything from point of departure, including private transfers, accommodations, meals, beverages, tipping, valet luggage service and are escorted by a Tour Manager and Tour Doctor.
