Itinerary

Morning Departure: Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Marsa Alam. You will be transferred in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to Hurghada Airport for your flight to Cairo.
Giza Plateau: Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide. Begin your Cairo tour at the renowned Giza Plateau, home to Egypt’s most iconic attractions, including the Great Pyramids—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your visit will include the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Middle Pyramid of Chephren, the smallest Pyramid of Mykerinos, and the enigmatic Sphinx, known as the Father of Terror to ancient Pharaohs. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple adjacent to the Great Sphinx.
Lunch: Enjoy a delicious lunch as part of your day.
Egyptian Museum: After lunch, explore the world-famous Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, designed in neo-classical style by French architect Marcel Dourgnon. The museum houses over 120,000 masterpieces spanning from the Pre-Dynastic era, through the Pharaonic period, to the Greco-Roman period in Egypt. Learn about the grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization and the intricate art of mummification.
Coptic Cairo: Next, delve into the rich Christian heritage found in Coptic Cairo. Visit early religious monuments, including the Hanging Church, named for its location above the south gate of the Fortress of Babylon, which became a central site for the Christian community in Egypt.
Khan El Khalili Bazaar: After sightseeing, enjoy some time for shopping at the famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where you can experience the local culture and pick up unique souvenirs.
Evening Transfer: Following your Cairo adventure, you will be transferred to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor, where you will check in to your hotel for a peaceful overnight stay. Lunch is included.

Breakfast: Start your day with breakfast at your hotel in Luxor.
Karnak Temple: After breakfast, you will be accompanied by your English-speaking tour guide to explore the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest religious structure ever built. Known in ancient times as Ipet-isut, or "The Most Sacred of Places," this vast complex was constructed over more than two millennia by successive Pharaohs. Marvel at the stunning Hypostyle Hall, an extraordinary forest of towering pillars.
Lunch: Enjoy lunch at a high-quality restaurant during your tour.
West Bank Exploration: Next, embark on a journey to the West Bank of the Nile to visit the imposing Colossi of Memnon, the colossal statues of Amenhotep III. Continue your exploration at the Valley of the Kings, where the magnificent tombs of Pharaohs were discovered. You will have the opportunity to visit three of these exquisitely decorated tombs, filled with treasures intended for the afterlife.
Hatshepsut Temple: Conclude your Luxor sightseeing at the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut at El Deir El Bahary, dedicated to the only female Pharaoh. This architectural marvel rises from the desert plain in a series of terraces that blend harmoniously with the surrounding cliffs.
