What if your next adventure could help preserve ancient cultures, empower local communities, and open doors into places most travelers only glimpse from afar?
That is exactly what makes National Geographic Journeys by G Adventures so compelling. Designed for curious minds and conscious explorers, these trips go far beyond sightseeing. They offer a deeper understanding of the places you visit, through the eyes of local experts, archaeologists, and change-makers on the ground.

In Egypt, that means more than standing before the Pyramids or cruising along the Nile. It is about engaging meaningfully with the history and the people who keep its stories alive. Walk through the Grand Egyptian Museum with a certified Egyptologist. Explore the lesser-known temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu. Visit Abu Simbel, one of the most astonishing monuments in all of Egypt, carved from solid rock.
But this journey also opens up human connections. Share meals with local families, enjoy a home-cooked dinner in Aswan, and support women-led enterprises through G for Good initiatives. Travel by felucca to a Nubian village where hospitality and heritage take center stage.
You will explore ancient wonders and modern cities alike from the vibrant bazaars and street food of Cairo to the serene beauty of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Along the way, every experience is thoughtfully crafted to balance comfort, insight, and impact.
