    The GEM is open for visitors and we have added an extra day to accomodate that. But Egypt is not just museums and there is so much more to see. There are tombs that will blow your mind when you first walk inside. There are temples so magnificent you will be lost for words. It is indeed a magical place!
    We begin in Cairo with the first pyramids, then fly south to Luxor for 6 days before returning to Cairo for your chance to venture inside the Great Pyramid. Plus a day at the GEM.

    Our next tour is the last week of March 2027. For more info and to book, visit https://gnttours.com 

    The cost will be $2,499, a "one price covers all" cost. This includes everything from your arrival in Cairo to your departure (Ts&Cs apply)  - and if you book as a couple or friends sharing; we will give you an extra discount.  

    The same tour is available as a group booking for dates that suit you (min 6 pax)
