The Pace of Dreams: Time is the Ultimate Luxury

Ancient Egypt's timescale is eternity. In the 1800s, the romantic dahabiya journeys took at least two months to sail up the Nile. The 1900s steamboats depicted by Agatha Christie still took almost one month to travel along the Nile from Cairo to Aswan.

Yet today, the modern traveler is often sold the myth that this same distance can be covered in a week. A lifetime of expectations deserves better.

To ensure your visions of pyramids, royal tombs, and temples become reality, you need the greatest of luxuries: time.

Turning lifelong expectations into reality

Instead of being underwhelmed by pyramids and temples as if they were mere one-hour photo stops, be overwhelmed by the grandeur of ancient Egypt! One way to achieve this is through the luxury of time: three millennia of history over nearly 900 miles cannot be crammed into 5 or 7 days...

That is why a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Egypt needs 14 days or more, to allow for the discovery of all major sites that are missed by standard cruises and tours.

As visible with the photos below, we are not talking about tiny temples in the middle of the desert, but immense monuments, like Ramses II's temple in Luxor, and Abydos, one of Egypt's most beautiful temples, which are skipped by tours due to a lack of time.

Don't return home and regret having missed these wonders. Choose a journey that honors both the monumental scale of the civilization and the fact that you have waited a lifetime for it.

Marvel at pyramids and temples without the crowds

Instead of the stress of a ticking clock, enter pyramids, temples, and royal tombs alone, or nearly alone.

Not being rushed is the Pace of Dreams, and how a lifetime of expectations becomes reality. You will gain lifelong memories during a genuine adventure along the Nile, a journey filled with conversation, learning, and laughter.

From Saqqara to Abu Simbel, a 3,000 years epic journey

The journey starts in Saqqara, with Djoser's step pyramid and the pyramid of Unas for the Pyramid Texts. We visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Old Egyptian Museum, as well as Old Cairo.

Then goes all the way South to Abu Simbel spanning 3,000 years from Djoser to the last hieroglyphic inscription in Philae. In between, discover a civilization aiming to live for ever, looking at eternity.

Understand the daily renewal of life with the sun circling over the Nile. The more you comprehend what the ancients did, the more amazing Egypt's monuments become.
