Day 1
Tour to Giza Pyramids & Egyptian Museum
2 stops
1
Giza Plateau
Stand before the towering majesty of the Great Pyramid, the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. As your Egyptologist guide shares insights into its construction, you'll wander between the Pyramid of Khafre and the smaller Menkaure, piecing together the ingenuity of a civilization that defied time. Nearby, the enigmatic Sphinx rests silently—part guardian, part riddle—etched from a single limestone slab. This is not just a photo stop; it’s an encounter with ancient engineering and myth.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo
Inside the museum’s faded pink façade lies a staggering collection of over 120,000 artifacts. Marvel at the dazzling funerary treasures of King Tutankhamun, gaze into the golden mask that has captivated the world, and walk past millennia-old statues that once lined temple halls. With every glance, your guide helps these silent relics whisper stories of dynasties long past.

Valley of the Kings
Descend into the tombs of Egypt’s great pharaohs, their walls glowing with vibrant scenes of gods, spirits, and the journey to the afterlife.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
Set against limestone cliffs, this elegant, tiered temple is a striking tribute to Egypt’s first female ruler. Explore colonnades etched with tales of divine birth and exotic expeditions. It’s not just a temple—it’s a bold architectural statement from a woman who claimed the throne in a man’s world.

Temple of Karnak
Step into a sacred city within a city. Walk through the immense Hypostyle Hall, where 134 stone pillars rise like a forest of giants. Obelisks, sacred lakes, and crumbling sanctuaries reveal a site shaped by dozens of pharaohs over centuries. Here, every stone holds power and prayer.

Luxor Temple
Linked to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes, Luxor Temple glows in soft golden hues at twilight. Unlike other temples, it wasn’t dedicated to a single god, but to the rejuvenation of kingship. As evening falls, the carvings take on a life of their own under the warm light—a magical end to your day.

Aswan
After an enriching day of exploration, settle into your private, air-conditioned vehicle for a comfortable drive south to Aswan. The journey takes around 3.5 to 4 hours and follows the lush Nile Valley, offering a peaceful glimpse into rural Egyptian life—fields of sugarcane, palm groves, and the occasional minaret silhouetted against the setting sun. On arrival in Aswan, you’ll check in to your hotel and unwind for the night, preparing for the next day’s adventure to Abu Simbel.

Abu Simbel Temple Complex
Before sunrise, depart Aswan for the 3-hour drive south to Abu Simbel, enjoying a quiet breakfast box as the desert landscape shifts with the light. Upon arrival, behold the monumental temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari—colossal works of devotion carved directly into the cliffs above Lake Nasser. Your guide will walk you through their legends, solar alignment mysteries, and the heroic UNESCO-led relocation that saved them from the Nile’s rising waters. The experience is both humbling and unforgettable.
