From majestic pyramids, rock-cut temples and the many-coloured mosques of Cairo to the timeless glory of the River Nile, this exclusive Signature Series journey offers a rare lens into the architecture, art and cultural ingenuity that define Egypt’s civilisation, past and present.

Join Anthony Burke, professor of architecture and renowned host of Grand Designs Australia, for a once-in-a-lifetime journey through Egypt. Much like Cairo itself, this bespoke itinerary is an intersection of Egypt’s old and new, from the anicent Great Pyramid of Giza to the brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum with Tutankhamun’s golden treasures on full display. Whether you’re a design enthusiast or discovering Egypt for the first time, this expert-led tour is a rare opportunity.

Begin your adventure at one of the city’s most beloved hotels: Fairmont Cairo Nile City, where panoramic Nile views and Art Deco elegance offer the perfect introduction to Egypt’s enduring grandeur.

Step aboard the Mövenpick MS Hamees, your floating sanctuary on the Nile, and cruise in indulgent comfort past timeless temples and golden riverbanks. Along the way, hop off for guided excursions, including Luxor’s fabled West Bank, where you’ll stand in awe before the tombs of pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings – including the resting place of Tutankhamun. Take to the skies on a flight to the monumental temples of Abu Simbel – one of Egypt’s most iconic ancient sites and a remarkable feat of engineering, carved entirely into stone.

Throughout your grand expedition, travel in comfort with airport transfers, internal flights and a private air-conditioned coach to take you between Egypt’s most exciting spots. With signature highlights throughout and expert commentary from Anthony Burke, this is more than a tour – it’s a front-row seat to Egypt’s most iconic sights and ancient design. Departing once only – don’t miss out.
