Egypt

Mystery Loves Company

Dig deeper on an Avalon river cruise through Egypt sailing down the meandering and mesmerising Nile. From the baffling construction of Giza’s pyramids to the enigmatic burial practices of the pharaohs, no land holds as many secrets as ancient Egypt. Stories of opulence and riches await as you make your way from the Great Sphinx to the even greater Valley of the Kings, all while sailing in state-of-the-art comfort aboard the elegant MS Farah.
