What's this trip about?

    TRIP VIBE = iconic sights and in-depth adventures with a local Trip Leader. The pyramids, the Sphinx, the Nile... they’re all here. But where are you? You’ve seen them in books. You’ve seen them in documentaries. You’ve seen them in movie after movie after movie. But experiencing them in real life = a whole different level of AMAZING. Ancient, archaeological and wall-to-wall ICONIC, this sure as hell isn’t your average holiday. But then – you’re not your average traveller.

Travel Map

Day 1: Cairo (Egypt)

This is your chance to delve deeper, to explore more. To experience a new and exotic destination to the absolute fullest. Ladies and gents - welcome to Egypt. Spot your Topdeck Rep at the airport (hint: they're holding a placard with your name on it). Then: dum...

Day 2: Cairo – Overnight coach to Aswan

You've read about them in books. Seen them in documentaries. And watched them play backdrop to movie after movie. But today, you're gonna experience the AMAZING Pyramids of Giza in real life. First though, we'll get the low-down on the world's largest collectio...

Day 3: Aswan

Disembark our noble steed, freshen up at the hotel and slip on your Birks - we're gonna take a wander around the jumble of antique storefronts and brightly coloured stalls of Aswan Bazaar. After, we're heading out on the Nile for a spot of kayaking. Then? The r...

Day 4: Aswan, including Abu Simbel

Crank the ancient history knob a little higher - today we're exploring the great temples of Abu Simbel. Carved within the mountains on the bank of the Nile, these babies are full of WOW factor. Take it alllll in as we wander through the great halls of the Great...

Day 5: Aswan – Felucca Sailing

Imagine: the sun on your back, the wind in your sails and THE BEST people you could ever hope to meet sharing stories, food and music in one rug-strewn love-in. Today, we're ditching the wheels and embarking on a journey down the Nile - aboard a traditional woo...

Day 6: Felucca Sailing – Luxor

Wake to the sun rising slowly over the Nile and enjoy the fresh air lapping at our felucca's sails. After breakfast, there's an optional pit stop at Kom Ombo for a look at the Temple and Crocodile Museum. Or why not check out Edfu Temple that's dedicated to the...

Day 7: Luxor – Hurghada

Another day, another bucket-list item well-and-truly ticked off the list. Insert: Valley of the Kings. We'll spend the morning getting schooled on the funerary rites of the ancient Egyptians and the many hieroglyphics painted throughout three significant royal ...

Day 8: Hurghada – Cairo

Disclaimer: we're out of here this afternoon. So don't waste a sun-soaked second. Spend the morning discovering the Old Town of El Dahar, chock-full of local restaurants, shops, and a traditional souk (read: market) selling leather, spices and shisha pipes. Hea...

Day 9: Cairo

You came. You saw. You embraced it all. And now, just like that, it's all over. Get down to breakfast and swap those digits with your trip mates - you'll be catching up later for sure. Where to next? We've got Delve Deep trips in Morocco and Turkey, timed perfectly so you can hop straight over. Just saying...
