Tour Itinerary
Greetings, and a warm welcome to Egypt, your new second home! At the appointed hour, our representative will be waiting for you outside Cairo International Airport. Drive you to the Giza Plateau, where you may stay in awe of the Pyramid complex from your room’s balcony.
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, which was fully discovered and is known as the Precious Treasure. After visiting the museum, we will see the grandeur of the pyramids, as no building in the world compares to the magnitude and beauty of the pyramids and the Sphinx, which was wholly carved from one stone. After finishing, we will visit the shops, antiques, and gift areas in El Khalili, where you can buy souvenirs for yourself and your friends. After this long day, our representative will accompany you to the Cairo railway station, where you will take a train to Aswan.
Upon Arrival to Aswan, our representative will be waiting for you on a lovely morning to accompany you to your Nile river cruise accommodation. On the Nile cruise, you will meet your guide to start your first visit to the Aswan tour, Philae Temple, High Dam, and the unfinished obelisk. The High Dam was the most critical building in Egypt in the twentieth century. As it was the primary source of electricity generation in Egypt, it also preserved the wasted water of the Nile due to the floods and formed the largest artificial lake in the world, Lake Nasser. After that, we will go together to the Philae temple, located in the middle of the water, so we will go to this temple by a motor boat enjoying Nile drifting to the Philae temple, which was saved from the flood before the construction of the High Dam. Lunch will be served onboard the Nile cruise, and your guide will be with you for any further inquiries.
Rise and Shine for a lovely breakfast before a pleasant visit to Abu Simbel temple. A private vehicle will transport you to Abu Simbel with your guide, explaining everything about this majestic structure, the Abu Simbel temple. One of the Pharaohs’ miracles is preserved at the Abu Simbel Temple. The temple was planned so that the sun would be perpendicular to King Ramses II’s face at the start of the planting season in October and the beginning of the harvest season in February. Every year, the miracle is repeated on the 22nd of October and the 22nd of February. It takes about 6 hours for the whole visit, so you will be back on the Nile river cruise before Lunch time and the boat sailing. Afternoon the boat may reach Kom Ombo to visit this lovely temple with your guide.
After breakfast, we will take a carriage to the Temple of Edfu, also known as the Temple of Horus, Egypt’s second-greatest temple after Karnak. This temple was erected during the Roman Empire and is Egypt’s most complete temple. At Edfu Temple, goodness prevails, a fitting 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. The boat will reach Luxor this afternoon, so we may visit Luxor East Bank, Luxor, and Karnak Temples. The temples of Luxor and Karnak are located in the east, and the holy route connecting them is known as the Avenue of Sphinx. Karnak Temple is the world’s biggest temple complex, consisting of four temples dedicated to the sun deity Amun. The Great Temple comprises a collection of roughly 10 massive buildings. After seeing the great temple, we will take a tour of the holy road, the route of the gods, which is the recently opened road, the Avenue of Sphinx, as it connects the temples of Karnak and Luxor. Luxor Temple is the smaller of the two temples, but it is much more magnificent. It was totally covered in sand, and a mosque was erected over it, which still stands today and incorporates a portion of the temple. We will spend this night in Luxor enjoying the lovely atmosphere there.
After a delicious breakfast, take an early morning ride with your guide and private driver to the west bank of the Nile, where the old 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, queen Hatshepsut, the only woman who ruled Egypt. While driving back, we will find two giant statues of Memnon, where we will stop to take memorable photos of the two gigantic ones. After this visit, you will head to Luxor airport to take a flight to Cairo, where you will spend the night.
You may unwind for the day. You can take an optional tour to the Sound & Light Show in the Pyramids or have a dinner cruise. Just inform your representative to make the arrangements.
A staff member will pick you up from the hotel and drive you to El Bahariya Oasis, from whence you may board a 4×4 vehicle to the White Desert. You’re going to the desert for lunch. In the White Desert, you may camp out under the stars and moon and take in the breathtaking view of Crystal Mountain.
You’ll have breakfast in the desert before returning to El Baharya Oasis to see the Golden Mummies Museum and two ancient Egyptian tombs belonging to the 26th dynasty. At about 2:00 in the afternoon, the spring’s hot water is at a comfortable temperature for a relaxing soak. We’ll get you back to Cairo on a transfer. Expect to land in Cairo at about 5:00 pm local time.
An EgyptTrippers representative will help you catch the Amman flight from Cairo. In Amman, our representative will be waiting for you holding a sign with your name, to transfer you to a 5-star hotel in Amman. Your breakfast is included.
At 7 a.m., you’ll be picked up from your accommodation and taken on a full-day tour of Petra. Within the walls of Petra, you’ll have 9 hours to see what you can see; most visitors focus on the Treasury, the Monastery, the High Place of Sacrifice, and other popular attractions. The trip will end when you are picked up at 4 p.m. and returned to your hotel.
It’s the day you return to your home, but we know you won’t want to go. The fantastic moments and affection you saw on this tour will have you wanting to stay forever. We will always be waiting for you and hope you will tell your friends about us. God willing, I’ll see you shortly.
