With a week to spend in Egypt in luxury, you can choose between an elegant Nile cruise, an off-the-beaten-path land adventure, and a mix of the two. Exploring by boat introduces you to the ancient temples of Luxor, Esna, and Aswan, while enlisting the help of a driver lets you sit back and enjoy the ride between the great cities of Cairo and Alexandria and the Siwa Oasis. The resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh is another excellent destination to consider, especially if you're eager to unwind in style.
