Itineraries

After enjoying your breakfast, your journey will begin as our representative picks you up from your hotel in Aswan, then you'll board the train heading to the immortal city of Luxor.

Upon arrival, you’ll meet your expert tour guide and begin exploring some of the most breathtaking landmarks of ancient Egypt.

First, you'll visit the Valley of the Kings, a royal astral valley that holds the secrets of the New Kingdom (1570–1050 BC). The site contains 63 magnificent tombs, including those of Seti I, Ramses II, Amenhotep I, Queen Hatshepsut, and the young king Tutankhamun, all filled with incredible inscriptions revealing ancient beliefs about the afterlife.

Then, you'll head to the Temple of Hatshepsut, carved beautifully into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari around 1479 BC. This architectural masterpiece stands as one of the finest examples of ancient Egyptian design, honoring the achievements of one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers and the blessings of the god Amun.

After that, you'll explore the Colossi of Memnon, two massive seated statues of Amenhotep III, each standing 18 meters high and weighing 720 tons. These statues were once famous during the Greco-Roman period for producing mysterious sounds at dawn, making them a legendary attraction.

After exploring these wonders, you’ll get to enjoy your lunch at a quality restaurant in Luxor, giving you a moment to relax before continuing your adventure.

After lunch, you'll head to the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious complexes ever built. Constructed between 1971 BC and 30 BC, it was dedicated to the Theban triad: Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Inside, you'll witness the incredible Hypostyle Hall, the grand Avenue of Sphinxes, and a collection of temples that showcase the peak of ancient Egyptian art and spirituality.

Finally, after a day filled with history and wonder, you'll be transferred to the airport to catch your flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, you’ll check in to your 5-star hotel and relax for the night.

After enjoying your breakfast at the hotel, you'll check out and meet your tour guide to begin your final day exploring the magical capital of Egypt.

First, you'll head to the incredible Giza Pyramids Complex, the cosmic center of greatness on earth, built to serve the royal family of the 4th dynasty and stand as a timeless symbol of power and immortality.

Then you’ll stand before the awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Khufu (2609–2584 BC), the last remaining wonder of the ancient world. Built in 2570 BC by the genius architect Hemiunu, this colossal structure rises to 147 meters and is made of over 2.3 million limestone blocks weighing around 6 million tons. Inside, it hides incredible features like the Grand Hall, the King’s Chamber, and the Queen’s Chamber, reflecting unmatched engineering brilliance.

After that, you'll stand before the majestic Great Sphinx of Giza, carved from a single block of limestone in the image of Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC). Known as “Horus of the Horizon,” it symbolizes strength and wisdom, and between its paws lies the famous Dream Stele added by Thutmose IV in 1401 BC.

Next, you’ll explore the Valley Temple, one of the best-preserved structures from ancient Egypt. Built by King Khafre, this sacred site was used for mummification and purification rituals, preparing the royal bodies for their journey into the afterlife.

Then, you'll continue to the breathtaking Grand Egyptian Museum,  a modern architectural masterpiece aligned with the pyramids and spanning nearly 490,000 square meters. This extraordinary museum serves as a gateway to over 5,000 years of history, showcasing treasures like the Hanging Obelisk, the massive statue of Ramses II, and the complete collection of Tutankhamun’s artifacts, all presented through advanced and immersive storytelling.

For lunchtime, you’ll get to enjoy your meal at a Pyramids / Nile view restaurant, where you can relax while overlooking one of the most iconic views in the world.

After lunch, you'll visit the historic Egyptian Museum, established in 1901, which houses an extraordinary collection of ancient artifacts that reflect over 4,000 years of civilization, including statues, treasures, and royal relics.
