After enjoying your breakfast, you’ll begin your 11-day luxury Egypt tour by meeting your private Egyptologist guide to explore some of Cairo’s most iconic landmarks.
First, you will visit the Giza Pyramids Complex, a golden wonder built in 2700 BC by the 4th dynasty to preserve the greatest archaeological treasures on earth. Standing tall is The Great Pyramid of Khufu (2609–2584 BC), a masterpiece designed by Pharaoh Khufu’s chief architect Hemiunu. Built with the help of 100,000 skilled workers in 2570 BC, the pyramid reaches 147 meters tall, made of 2.3 million limestone blocks totaling 6 million tons. Inside, you’ll find the King’s Chamber, Queen’s Chamber, and the Grand Hall—some of the only rooms within this magnificent structure.
Nearby, the Great Sphinx, known as Horus of the Horizon, reflects the strength and wisdom of Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC). Carved from a single limestone block, it measures 73 meters long, 19 meters wide, and 20 meters tall. Between its paws lies the legendary Dream Stele of Thutmose IV from 1401 BC, telling tales of divine power and protection.
You’ll also visit the Valley Temple, built in 2700 BC, where the royal family’s mummification and purification rituals were performed.
Then, step into the Egyptian Museum, a marvel aligned with the Pyramids of Giza, covering nearly 490,000 square meters. GEM houses over 5,000 Tutankhamun artifacts, the Hanging Obelisk, and the colossal 11-meter statue of Ramses II, along with state-of-the-art conservation and research facilities. This museum is a gateway to 5,000 years of Egypt’s history, art, and spiritual legacy.
After this extraordinary morning, enjoy a luxury lunch with a view of the Pyramids or Nile, then continue to Saqqara Step Pyramid, the first large-scale cut stone structure on earth. Built for Pharaoh Djoser (2649–2611 BC) by his visionary architect Imhotep, this six-step pyramid rises 62 meters and marks the beginning of Egypt’s golden age of pyramid construction.
