Day Two: Tour of The Ancient Egyptian Pyramids: After breakfast, you will be joined by your own Egyptologist tour guide to begin your Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and Hurghada trip with some of the world’s most popular sites, including:
Giza Pyramids Complex:
The Giza Pyramids Complex, located on the Giza Plateau, was one of the first locations to witness the magnificence of the Pharaohs. It is made up of three great pyramids, “Cheops/ Khufu,” “Chephren/ Khafre,” and “Menkaure,” as well as six minor pyramids.
The Great Pyramid:
The Great Pyramid was erected during the time of King Khufu in the 4th dynasty (2589-2566 BCE), and it is one of the highest hand-made structures in the ancient world (146 m), making it one of the seven global marvels owing to its huge height. It is made out of around 2 million stone blocks and was subsequently utilized as a holy burial for King Khufu.
The Great Sphinx:
It’s one of the world’s most impressive carvings, dating back to the 4th dynasty. It has a lion’s body and a human head with King Chephren’s visage on it. Carving it from a large chunk of limestone took three years and 100 employees.
The Valley Temple:
It is situated on the Giza Plateau, which was built primarily as a center for mummification. The Valley Temple was constructed from enormous pieces of diorite-sculpted granite.
After lunch, go to Pyramids or Nile View restaurant and then move to the following sites:
Saqqara Step Pyramid
It is said to be the first large-scale cut-stone building, dating back to King Djoser’s reign in Egypt in the 27th century B.C. The step pyramid is made up of six steps stacked on top of each other and stands 62 meters tall.
Memphis City
King Menes established the first capital of Egypt. It was strategically located between Upper and Lower Egypt. Memphis was said to be guarded by the deity Ptah, the god of creation and art.
We then transport you back to your hotel for the night.
Day Three: Fly to Aswan – Visit Aswan Top Highlights: Have breakfast at the hotel in Cairo and then check out before we take you to the airport to fly to Aswan. When you arrive, your private tour guide will meet you and take you to the following Aswan tourist attractions:
The High Dam
The High Dam is located in Egypt’s extreme south and is around 3830 m in length and 111 m in height. Its construction was critical because it defended Egypt from the yearly Nile River floods, which flooded the farms and crops. As a result, it has had a significant beneficial impact on the Egyptian economy.
The Unfinished Obelisk
It is the largest obelisk ever carved in Ancient Egypt, weighing 1200 tons and measuring 42 meters in length. During the 18th dynasty, Queen Hatshepsut (1478 1458) erected it. Since then the monarchs began to build the obelisks alongside the temples for religious reasons. This unfinished obelisk demonstrates the Ancient Egyptians’ carving and sculpture skills.
Temple of Philae
It is the most impressive Nubian structure, created as a shrine to the goddess Isis. Before UNESCO salvaged it by relocating it from Philae Island to Agilika Island, the temple was in grave danger because to the Nile floods. Pharaohs, Byzantines, Greeks, and Romans had all left their imprints on the temple’s stone.

These subterranean tombs contained furniture, jewels, and jewelry that the deceased monarch would need in the afterlife.
Temple of Hatshepsut: The temple, considered one of Egypt’s most magnificent buildings, was built for Queen Hatshepsut during the 18th dynasty.
