Tour Itinerary
Bring your baggage, purchase international tickets, and forget about it all because we will take care of everything from the minute you arrive until you return, making your vacation a wonderful journey filled with amazing sites that you have only seen on TV and will now see with your own eyes.
It’s Grandeur’s Day, and breakfast is on the menu. Before your trip starts, you’ll be able to have a delicious breakfast at your hotel. To view the pyramids, the greatest archaeological structures in the world, is to witness their magnificence. We will view nine pyramids in the Giza region today, including the step pyramid, the pyramid of King Djoser, and the original shape of the pyramids created. Memphis, Egypt’s ancient capital, will also be on our itinerary since it is the oldest city ever unearthed in the country. Lunch will be provided at one of the excellent restaurants that serve good meals to their customers.
Enjoy your hot breakfast at your hotel. Get ready to visit the treasure, but it’s not hidden. It is displayed in the Egyptian Museum, which contains treasures that tell the story of the ancient Egyptians and their beliefs, and the treasure of the young king, Tutankhamun, that was fully discovered and is known as the Precious Treasure. The Citadel of Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi is one of the most significant and magnificent castles of the Middle Ages, serving as a fortress to safeguard Egypt throughout the ancient battles. This castle houses the magnificent Makhmad Ali Mosque as well as various well-known museums, including the Military Museum, which has many historic battle instruments as well as replicas of soldiers and antique vehicles. The view overlooking this castle, where you can see all of Cairo from the top of the castle in the courtyard of the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, is one of the most breathtaking views there. After finishing, we will visit the shops, antiques, and gift areas in El Khalili, where you can buy souvenirs for yourself and your friends. We’ll take care of lunch for you, so you won’t have to. Your tour guide will take you to a local restaurant where you can eat before heading back to the hotel to hit the sack.
After a quick breakfast at the hotel, we’ll catch an early morning flight to Luxor. We will arrive in Luxor after about an hour’s travel to begin our voyage into the land of the past, a journey through the tombs and temples of kings. When you arrive in Luxor, you will put your bags on the Nile cruise and begin your trip to the east bank of the Nile, where the temples are located. Luxor and Karnak temples are situated in the east, and the Avenue of the Sphinx is the sacred road that connects them. Karnak Temple is the world’s largest temple complex, with four temples devoted to the sun god Amun. The Great Temple is comprised of around ten huge edifices. Following our visit to the great temple, we will take a tour of the sacred road, the way of the gods, which is the newly opened Avenue of the Sphinx, which links the temples of Karnak and Luxor. The Luxor Temple is the smallest of the two temples, but it is much more impressive. It was completely buried in sand, and a mosque was built on top of it, which still remains today and contains a section of the temple.
After a delicious breakfast, take an early morning ride with your guide and private driver to the west bank of the Nile, the place where the ancient Egyptians buried their kings and queens. They thought the sun’s setting was the meaning of death. That’s the reason they built all their tombs on the west side of the Nile. After the tombs, we will visit the temple of the most powerful woman in ancient Egypt, the queen Hatshepsut, the only woman who ruled Egypt. While we are driving back, we will find two huge statues of Memnon, where we will stop to take memorable photos with the two gigantic. We will return to the Nile Cruise at exactly noon to eat your lunch before the Nile Cruise departs to Esna. Before visiting the tombs, you may experience an incredible balloon ride in the early morning, where you can enjoy a safe and quiet flight to view the dawn from above. Inquire with your rep or the guide who is accompanying you about this excursion, which is not included in the schedule but may be arranged for you.
Relax and enjoy the Nile and the birds flitting around you for a day of refreshment. Take a drink of your choice to the sun deck, where you can soak up the sun and take in the breathtaking view of the Nile. Your friends will know how much fun you’re having by seeing your selfies, so take advantage of this chance!
There is a time for everything; there is a time for breakfast, a time for lunch, a time for dinner, and a time for fun. Let’s have some fun and take a carriage to the Temple of Edfu, also known as the Temple of Horus, which is Egypt’s second-greatest temple after Karnak. This temple was likewise erected during the Roman Empire and is Egypt’s most complete temple. At Edfu Temple, goodness prevails, which is a suitable testament to the temple’s name. The winged sun sign was inherited by Osiris’ son, Horus, who used it to defeat Set, the god of evil. The events of this story are shown and narrated in great detail in this temple.
Because it is an exciting and pleasant excursion, the Nile Cruise will sail close to historic temples and monuments, and it will be docked today adjacent to the Roman temple of Kom Ombo. This temple was created for two gods: Horus, the symbol of goodness and justice, and Sobek, who was thought to have supernatural power over parts of ancient Egyptian life.
When the boat arrives at the kingdom of gold, Aswan, the fun and spectacular sights begin. It is thought that its land gives love and positive energy on those who live there, so enjoy the best people and the most magnificent views in Aswan.
Today we’ll see the most magnificent sights in Aswan. The High Dam was Egypt’s most significant structure in the twentieth century. Because it was Egypt’s primary source of energy production, it also conserved the Nile’s flooded waters and built Lake Nasser, the world’s biggest artificial lake. After that, we’ll travel together to the Philae temple, which is in the middle of the water, so we’ll get there by motorboat to enjoy the river Nile, which is drifting to the Philae temple, which was rescued from flooding before the high dam was built.
It’s not the final day, there’s still time. Enjoy breakfast like you’ve never had before, since it’s the final meal on the Nile cruise before departing to Cairo. Of course, there will be someone to assist you at Aswan Airport and Cairo Airport upon your arrival. If you want to keep the party going, ask your representative in Cairo about the last-day optional excursions, such as the sound and light show in the Pyramids area or a supper cruise on the Nile.
It’s the day you leave. We know you won’t want to go, but this is life, and everything great must come to an end. Enjoy a lovely breakfast in your hotel and do not leave until our representative arrives to take you to the international airport at the agreed-upon hour. If you decide to return, we will be waiting for you, and we would be pleased if you referred us to your friends.
