Great Pyramids of Giza
Begin at one of the ancient world’s Seven Wonders, and the only one still standing today. This vast royal necropolis brings together three towering pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and a network of temples built for the pharaohs of the Fourth Dynasty, and your guide will set the scene before exploring each monument in detail.

Pyramid of Khufu
Marvel at King Khufu’s masterpiece, constructed between 2589 and 2566 BC using 2.6 million limestone blocks and originally standing roughly 144 meters tall. It held the title of the tallest man-made structure on earth for nearly 4,000 years, and its scale is best appreciated standing right at its base.

Pyramid of Khafre
Visit this pyramid, standing 136 meters tall and appearing even taller thanks to its position on elevated ground. Look closely near the summit and you can still spot fragments of the original polished limestone casing that once covered the entire structure.

Pyramid of Menkaure
See this smallest of the three pyramids, standing 65 meters tall and clad in red granite along its lower courses. Its more modest scale offers a fascinating contrast to its larger neighbors and hints at how pyramid construction evolved by the end of the Fourth Dynasty.

Valley Temple of Khafre
Explore this ancient royal mummification facility, built with massive granite walls up to 6 meters thick. Its cool, cavernous interior of polished pillars is remarkably well preserved, offering a rare sense of how these sacred spaces looked and felt in antiquity.

Great Sphinx
Encounter this legendary guardian, carved from a single block of limestone and standing 21 meters high and stretching 73 meters long. Its lion body and human head symbolize strength and intelligence, and it remains one of the most iconic and photographed monuments on earth.

Grand Egyptian Museum
Continue to the world’s largest archaeological museum, opening in November 2025 and spanning over 500,000 square meters. This billion-dollar masterpiece showcases more than 100,000 ancient artifacts across 11 exhibition halls, including King Tutankhamun’s complete collection, with never-before-displayed treasures, alongside colossal statues, royal mummies, and priceless relics spanning Egypt’s history from pre-dynastic times through the Greco-Roman period.

Aswan High Dam
Visit this modern engineering masterpiece, constructed between 1964 and 1971 to tame the mighty Nile. This monumental structure controls the river’s seasonal flooding and generates over 70% of Egypt’s electricity, and its creation gave rise to Lake Nasser, offering stunning views across one of the largest artificial lakes in the world.

Unfinished Obelisk
Explore the ancient granite quarries and marvel at this remarkable 42-meter, 1,150-ton monument, abandoned mid-carving after cracks appeared in the stone. Left in place exactly as it was found, it reveals fascinating ancient stone-carving techniques and offers insight into the sun worship symbolism tied to obelisks in ancient Egyptian religion.

Philae Temple
Continue to this stunning temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis and dating to between 380 BC and 300 AD. This UNESCO World Heritage site on Agilkia Island is celebrated for its graceful colonnades and richly carved reliefs, as well as its remarkable rescue story, meticulously relocated stone by stone in the 1970s to save it from rising waters.

Afterward, board your luxury Nile cruise for lunch, dinner, and relaxation while sailing to Kom Ombo.

Kom Ombo
Explore this unique double temple, dedicated jointly to Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility, and Horus, the falcon-headed sky deity. Dating to the Ptolemaic-Roman periods, between 332 BC and 395 AD, its rare symmetrical design ingeniously combines two complete cult temples side by side, each with its own gateways, halls, and chapels, showcasing exceptional Greco-Roman architecture at its finest.

Return aboard for lunch as you sail toward Edfu.

Temple of Horus at Edfu
Upon arrival, visit this magnificent temple, one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient monuments. Construction began in 237 BC under Ptolemy III and was completed during the reign of Cleopatra VII. Buried beneath desert sand for centuries, its stunning reliefs and hieroglyphic inscriptions remain exceptionally intact, depicting the legendary myth of Horus and Seth alongside fascinating scenes of ancient ritual ceremonies.

Day 5: Luxor West Bank Tour

Arrive in Luxor and cross to the West Bank with your guide to explore its legendary monuments.

Valley of the Kings
Begin at the royal necropolis, where New Kingdom pharaohs chose this secluded desert location to safeguard their eternal resting places from tomb robbers. Over 60 tombs have been discovered here, including those of Tutankhamun, Thutmose IV, and Amenhotep II, featuring stunning carvings drawn from ancient funerary texts like the Book of the Dead, guiding the pharaoh’s journey through the afterlife.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Visit this magnificent temple at Deir el-Bahari, an architectural masterpiece carved into mountainside cliffs across three grand terraced levels. Admire vivid painted reliefs depicting her famed trading expedition to the Land of Punt, led by her commander Nehesy, one of the most celebrated achievements of her reign.

Colossi of Memnon
Conclude at these two towering statues of Amenhotep III, each standing 20 meters tall and weighing 700 tons. Gazing eastward across the Nile floodplain, they have stood sentinel for over 3,400 years, once guarding the entrance to a vast mortuary temple that has long since vanished.

Afterward, return to your cruise for lunch, tea, and dinner.

Karnak Temple
Begin at this magnificent complex, dedicated to the god Amun-Ra and spanning 60 hectares, the world’s largest religious complex. Construction spanned from the Middle Kingdom through the New Kingdom, honoring multiple deities including Khonsu, Ptah, Mut, and Montu. Marvel at the grand Hypostyle Hall, where 134 towering columns rise like a stone forest, and stroll along the sacred Avenue of Sphinxes, which once connected the temple to Luxor.

Luxor Temple
Continue to this temple, originally built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, Hatshepsut, and Thutmose III. Dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, this architectural masterpiece features stunning open courtyards and colossal statues, remaining above all a monument to the concept of kingship itself.

Tour FAQ

Can I get a refund if I cancel the tour?

The refund policy for canceling a tour can vary depending on the tour company, the terms and conditions you agreed to when booking the tour, and the circumstances surrounding your cancellation. It’s best to refer to our terms and conditions page or contact us to inquire about the refund policy for cancellations.

Can I change the travel date?

In general, it is often possible to change the travel date, but it may be subject to certain conditions and fees. Airlines, for instance, typically offer options to change flight dates, but they may charge a change fee and any difference in fare. It’s important to review the terms and conditions of your ticket or booking and the policies of the airline or travel agency you booked to understand the options available to you.

Similarly, hotels and other accommodations may have different policies regarding date changes. Some may allow free or low-cost changes if made within a certain time frame, while others may have more restrictive policies or charge a fee for modifications.

To determine whether you can change the travel date and the associated costs or requirements, I recommend contacting the airline, hotel, or travel agency you booked with. They will be able to provide you with accurate and up-to-date information based on your circumstances.

Remember, it’s always a good idea to review the cancellation and change policies before making any travel arrangements to understand your options in case of unforeseen circumstances or changes to your plans.

Do I need to apply visa?

Travelers often must obtain a visa before entering a foreign country. A visa is an official document issued by the destination government that permits you to enter and stay for a certain period. Some countries have visa waiver agreements with certain nationalities, allowing visitors to enter without a visa for a specified period. However, this exemption usually has limitations, such as the purpose of travel or the length of stay.

It is important to note that visa requirements can change, so checking for updates before making any travel arrangements is recommended. Allow enough time for the visa to be processed, as it can sometimes take several weeks or even months. You can contact us to help you obtain the visa.
