The Expedition

EGYPT

Six days sailing the Nile with renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass. From Luxor to Aswan aboard the Lumière, where ancient wonders meet world-class luxury.

Where Pharaohs Still Speak

The Nile doesn't rush. Neither should you.

Six days guided by the world's most celebrated Egyptologist, Zahi Hawass. Private access to tombs rarely opened. Sunrise at temples before the crowds arrive.

This is not a tour. This is Egypt as it was meant to be experienced.
