Itinerary
Our licensed tour guide will be waiting for you in an air-conditioned car at the Cairo airport, where our tour leader will pick you up. Will transport you right away to the Giza Pyramids Necropolis, where you can ride a camel and visit the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafra, and Mankaura, as well as explore the fascinating Giza Plateau.
Our next stop to learn more about the ancient Egyptian art of making papyrus is the Papyrus Institute. We will have the opportunity to make our own papyrus scrolls after learning about the papyrus-making process.
It's lunchtime after that, at a neighborhood restaurant right in the middle of Cairo. Following a short break, we'll explore Cairo's historic district and take in the breathtaking architecture of places like Al-Azhar, Islamic Cairo, and Coptic Cairo before wrapping up our day trip at Khan El Khalili.
We'll then take you back to your Cairo hotel so you can check in and spend the night there.
Following breakfast, you will be picked up from your lodging by our tour guide, who will also help you with the check-out process and take you to the Cairo airport, where your flight to Luxor is scheduled to depart. Your tour guide will take you to your Luxor hotel as soon as we arrive so you can unwind before we depart for our first destination. You're going there. Enjoyable is the Luxor Museum.
New York's Brooklyn Museum created exhibits of sculptures, jewelry, furniture, ceramics, and stelae. They are filled with a carefully selected combination of objects from Theban temples and the Necropolis. On display are various artifacts from Tutankhamun's tomb, including a cow-goddess head.
So, the best place to discover the secrets of the most enigmatic pharaohs is the Mummification Museum. You may find an amazing variety of animals preserved in mummified form. The museum houses a large number of mummies, both human and animal, along with the tools and canopic jars used during the process.
After that, we'll stop for lunch at a nearby restaurant before dropping you off at your Luxor lodging for the night.
Our tour guide will collect you from your accommodation after breakfast so you can visit Many kings are buried in the architectural wonder known as the Valley of the Kings, which was also a place of burial. The most famous tombs are those of King Ramses VI, King Mrenptah, King Tutmosis I, King Tutmosis III, Tut-Ankh-Amon, and Amonhotep II.
Then carry on watching El Dir El Bahari, or the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, which was built by the only female pharaoh to rule ancient Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut, who was Thutmosis I's daughter. The temple was built during the roughly 20 years that she ruled Egypt during the 18th Dynasty (from 1490 to 1469 B.C.).
The Colossi of Memnon, the remnants of the funerary temple of Amenhotep III, will be our next destination. After that, we'll drop you off at your hotel for the night after lunch at a nearby restaurant.
The most important building in Edfu is the Temple of Horus, which is also one of the most beautiful and well-preserved temples in Egypt. Check out of your lodging after breakfast, and our tour guide will come get you to see it.
Then go ahead and watch The Kom Ombo Pylon no longer has two entrances; only the center pillar and the lowest parts of the right wing remain. The left side has completely disappeared. As you walk in, you may notice a 52-line hieroglyphic text, the gods Sobek, Hathor, and Khons, as well as a relief of the Roman Emperor Domitian decked out in the crowns of Upper Egypt. Next we will go to a nearby restaurant for lunch, and then we will drive you to your Aswan accommodation for the evening.
The High Dam of Aswan, an engineering marvel built in the 1960s, is the first stop on your day tour of Aswan after you are picked up at your hotel or by our tour guide. From the top of the High Dam, views stretch across Lake Nasser to the massive power plant in the north and the Kalabsha temple in the south.
Experience an Abu Simbel day tour by traveling three hours south of Aswan in an air-conditioned vehicle. The remarkable architecture of the two Abu Simbel temples is said to make them the epitome of prehistoric Egypt. They show the splendor and majesty of the future Kingdom. In order to protect these sites from flooding, the Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to collaborate. At the temple that bore their names, Ptah, Amun-Re, Re-Her-Akhtey, and Ramesses II were honored. The enormous temple at Abu Simbel is also known as Ramses II's Sun Temple.
Because Queen Nefertari was the wife of the Sun God, she is also known as the Temple of Hathor, where Ramesses II, Hathor, and the Sun God are symbolically united. Before departing for Aswan, spend roughly three hours there.
Return you to your hotel so you can have lunch and spend the night there.
Check out of your accommodation after breakfast, and our tour guide will take you to see The third and largest of the well-known Aswan sights will be your last to see. After the High Dam was built, the surrounding Nile levels rose, and the Philae Temple was carefully moved to its current location, which is approximately 500 meters from its original location.
After your motorboat ride to the island, your tour guide will give you a walking tour of the temple and allow you some free time to complete your independent study. Situated in a breathtaking spot on an island in the river, the Philae Temple pays homage to the goddess Isis and has been painstakingly restored to its original design.
You will be dropped off at the Aswan airport after your excursion is over so you can catch your flight to Cairo. After you arrive, you will be taken to your hotel in Cairo, where you will spend the night.
Our tour guide and driver will pick you up at your Cairo hotel at six in the morning and drive you in a private, air-conditioned car 350 kilometers west of Giza to the Bahariya Oasis. The trip takes around four hours.
To see the Black Desert, turn onto a 44 once you enter Bahariya and travel 40 kilometers into the desert. After that, lunch is served at the popular neighborhood restaurant, where you can swim and unwind either before or after.
After 90 km, turn left to reach the Agbatat and Crystal deserts, along with a variety of mountains and sand dunes. The White Desert is one of the most picturesque deserts in the world. Its stunning white stones come in a variety of shapes, such as mushrooms, chickens, and bunnies. Drive back to your Cairo accommodation.
After breakfast in the morning, your tour guide will take you to Alexandria in a contemporary, air-conditioned car when you check out. The first stop on this day trip will be the catacombs at Kom el Shoqafa, which are considered to be one of the wonders of the Middle Ages. It is the largest known Roman burial site in Egypt, with three stories of tombs that could accommodate up to 300 bodies. Before being turned into a public cemetery, the land had been developed as a private burial ground for a single family. The architecture of the tombs has a touch of Greco-Roman style. This is seen in the wall artwork's imaginative blending of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian artistic traditions.
After stopping for photos, you will continue on to Qaitbey's Citadel, which is regarded as one of the most important defensive strongholds not only in Egypt but also along the Mediterranean Sea coast. During the fifteenth century A.D., the Citadel was an important part of Alexandria's defense structure. It is situated at the easternmost point of Pharos Island, not far from the eastern harbor entrance. It was constructed on the exact location where the well-known Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood.
Afterwards, a visit to the Montazah Royal Palaces and Gardens will be undertaken. These were formerly owned by the royal dynasty of Mohamed Ali Pasha, which included Khedive Abbas Helmy II and King Farouk I. Our amazing journey will end at the Modern Alexandria Library, which took the place of the Old Library and was renowned for its vast collection of books on various disciplines and literary genres. After this fantastic city tour, you will be picked up and driven back to your Alexandria lodging.
Pompei's Pillar is situated in the temple of Serapis, which dates back to the first century BC and was known as "the supreme god of Alexandria during the Ptolemaic era." We will go there after our tour guide picks us up in an air-conditioned car after we check out of the hotel.
Alexandria's largest mosque is Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi. It features a cream-colored facade, four massive domes, arabesque-shaped carvings, and a tall minaret. The final site on our tour of Alexandria is the Roman Amphitheatre, also called Kom el-Dikka. In the center of Alexandria is a large Roman theater and residential complex.
Take a stroll through Alexandria's historic district before one of our tour guides drives you to your accommodation in Cairo.
Relax and spend the entire evening up.
A representative from our company will drive you to Cairo International Airport to assist with your flight out at the end of your 10-day Egypt vacation, which we hope you enjoyed and were inspired to take more tours in Egypt.
