<p>This <strong>17-day Turkey and Egypt trip in Spanish</strong> combines two of the world's great civilisations in a single journey: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale in Turkey, and Cairo, the pyramids of Giza and an <strong>all-inclusive Nile cruise</strong> between Luxor and Aswan in Egypt. You travel with <strong>Spanish-speaking guides in both countries</strong> and the backing of a <strong>local operator</strong> (TÜRSAB licence A-9759), with a <strong>clear price from 1,600 USD per person</strong> and all costs —including internal flights— explained in advance.</p>
<h2>Two civilisations in one trip: why combine Turkey and Egypt</h2>
<p>Turkey and Egypt complement each other like few destinations: the crossing of continents in Istanbul and the lunar landscapes of Cappadocia, followed by the pyramids of Giza and the pharaonic temples on the banks of the Nile. Instead of two separate trips, this <strong>combined 17-day circuit</strong> joins them with the logistics sorted and <strong>Spanish-speaking guides in both countries</strong>. As a local operator, we coordinate each leg on the ground, without leaving you in the hands of a middleman.</p>
<h2>The Turkey part: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale (days 1-9)</h2>
<p>The first half covers the essentials of Turkey: the <strong>Bosphorus, Dolmabahçe Palace and the Egyptian Bazaar</strong> in Istanbul; <strong>Atatürk's Mausoleum</strong> in Ankara; the <strong>underground cities and valleys of Cappadocia</strong> (with an optional balloon flight at sunrise); the Seljuk caravanserai of Sultanhan; the <strong>terraces of Pamukkale</strong>; and <strong>Ephesus</strong> with the Library of Celsus and the House of the Virgin Mary. Nine nights in superior 4-5 star hotels.</p>
<h2>The Egypt part: Cairo, the pyramids and the Nile cruise (days 10-17)</h2>
<p>From Istanbul you fly to Cairo to discover the <strong>pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Saqqara and Memphis</strong>, and the Khan El Khalili bazaar. Then an <strong>all-inclusive Nile cruise</strong> takes you from Aswan to Luxor: the Temple of Kom Ombo, the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the <strong>Valley of the Kings</strong>, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon and the great complexes of Karnak and Luxor. A complete immersion in Ancient Egypt, sailing the river that gave it life.</p>
<h2>The all-inclusive Nile cruise</h2>
<p>The heart of the Egyptian part is the <strong>5-star Nile cruise on an all-inclusive basis</strong>. You sail from Aswan to Luxor with full board on board, visiting temples on both banks and enjoying a felucca ride around Elephantine Island. Optionally, you can add the excursion to <strong>Abu Simbel</strong> to see the colossi of Ramses II and Nefertari.</p>

<h2>What is NOT included: total cost transparency</h2>

<h2>The best time to combine Turkey and Egypt</h2>
<p>Spring (March-May) and autumn (October-November) are ideal: pleasant weather in Turkey and milder temperatures in Egypt, especially for the Nile cruise and Luxor. Winter is also a good season for Egypt. Ask us about the dates available for 2026 and book early, as the cruise has limited places.</p>
