Day 2 - Cairo Tour & Sleeper Train

Begin your day as your expert Egyptologist guide meets you at your hotel, and travel together in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.

Egyptian Museum
First, explore this renowned treasure house of ancient Egyptian history, home to thousands of priceless artifacts and spectacular exhibitions showcasing millennia of civilization. Its galleries bring together delicate Old Kingdom statuary, gilded royal furniture, painted sarcophagi, and monumental sculpture, offering an essential introduction to the wonders of ancient Egypt.

Giza Plateau
Next, venture to this legendary plateau on the edge of Cairo, home to the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. 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.

Great Pyramid of Khufu
Marvel at the largest and oldest of the three pyramids, built between 2589 and 2566 BC using 2.6 million limestone blocks and originally standing 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
Continue to the second pyramid, which appears even taller at 136 meters due to its position on higher 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
Visit the smallest of the three pyramids, beautifully covered with red granite shipped from Aswan 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
Step inside this royal mummification facility, built with massive granite pillars and remarkably well preserved. Its cool, cavernous interior offers 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. With the body of a lion and the face of a king, it has watched over the plateau for thousands of years and remains one of the most iconic monuments on earth.

After this extraordinary tour, you’ll board your overnight sleeper train to Aswan.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 3 - Nile Cruise - Aswan

Upon arrival at Aswan train station, your tour guide will greet you by name and escort you to your air-conditioned vehicle to begin your memorable exploration.

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

Unfinished Obelisk
Continue to the ancient granite quarries to see this New Kingdom marvel, which would have stood 42 meters tall and weighed 1,150 tons, the largest obelisk ever attempted. Abandoned mid-carving after cracks appeared in the stone, it remains in place exactly as it was found, offering a fascinating firsthand look at the tools and techniques ancient Egyptian workers used to carve and extract massive stone monuments.

Philae Temple
Then visit this stunning temple on Agilkia Island, dedicated to the goddess Isis and dating to the Greco-Roman period, between 380 BC and 300 AD. Set amid the beauty of the Nile’s rocky islands, the temple is celebrated for its graceful colonnades and richly carved reliefs, as well as its remarkable rescue story, relocated stone by stone in the 1970s to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

After concluding your tour, embark on your Nile cruise for an overnight stay.

Day 4 - Nile Cruise - Edfu

Meet your tour guide on the cruise and prepare for a discovery day.

Temple of Horus at Edfu
Begin by visiting this magnificent temple, one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient monuments. Construction began in 237 BC under Ptolemy III and was completed nearly two centuries later during the reign of Cleopatra VII, making it one of the most architecturally complete temples in the country. Explore stunning reliefs depicting the legendary myth of Horus and Seth, along with fascinating scenes of the temple’s ritual foundation ceremonies.

Kom Ombo
Return to the cruise and sail to this unique double temple, dedicated jointly to Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility, and Horus, the falcon-headed sky god. Dating to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, between 332 BC and 395 AD, this symmetrical masterpiece uniquely combines two complete cult temples side by side, each with its own gateways, halls, and chapels, mirrored perfectly along a central axis.

In the evening, enjoy a festive Galabiya party, immersing yourself in Egyptian culture and creating unforgettable memories aboard your Nile cruise.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 5 - Nile Cruise – Luxor West Bank

Your tour guide awaits you on the cruise, prepared to escort you to a private, air-conditioned vehicle for your exploration of Luxor’s West Bank.

Valley of the Kings
Begin at this royal burial site, chosen by 18th Dynasty pharaohs to protect their mummies and treasures within a remote desert valley, hidden from tomb robbers. Explore several tombs, including those of Ramses III, Ramses IV, Ramses VI, and Amenhotep II, featuring stunning decorations carved from ancient funerary texts, guiding the pharaoh’s journey through the afterlife.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Next, visit this extraordinary temple, uniquely carved into mountainside cliffs across three grand terraced levels. The temple walls depict vivid scenes of the ancient trading expedition to the Land of Punt, one of the most celebrated achievements built under Hatshepsut’s chief architect, Senenmut.

Colossi of Memnon
Conclude at these two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, standing for over 3,400 years. Each colossus towers nearly 20 meters tall and weighs approximately 700 tons, gazing eastward across the Nile floodplain, once guarding the entrance to a vast mortuary temple that has long since vanished.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 6 - Luxor East Bank

Your tour guide will be ready to accompany you from the cruise to your private air-conditioned vehicle, ready to explore Luxor’s East Bank.

Karnak Temple
Begin at this renowned complex dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, built and expanded over nearly 2,000 years. Stroll through its vast open courtyard, admire the majestic granite statues of Ramses II, and marvel at the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall, where 134 colossal columns rise like a stone forest, their surfaces covered in carved reliefs.

Luxor Temple
Continue to this magnificent temple, originally built by King Amenhotep III during the 18th Dynasty, with later contributions from Ramses II, Thutmose III, and Queen Hatshepsut. Designed by the renowned engineer Amenhotep, son of Hapu, the temple was dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Traverse the enchanting Avenue of Sphinxes, which once connected these two great monuments across a processional route lined with sphinx statues.

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.
