Tour Highlights: Discover Ancient History

7 Days Nile Majesty & Cairo Wonders pic

Giza Pyramids & Sphinx

Stand in awe before the monumental Pyramids of Giza, a timeless tribute to ancient engineering and power. Explore the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, then meet the enigmatic Great Sphinx, Egypt’s mythical guardian carved from a single block of limestone.

Egyptian Museum

Delve into over 5,000 years of history at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of Pharaonic antiquities. Discover intricately carved statues, sarcophagi, papyrus scrolls, royal mummies, and everyday items that reveal the rich cultural, spiritual, and artistic life of ancient Egypt.

Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

The Grand Egyptian Museum, located near the Giza Pyramids, is the largest archaeological museum in the world. Home to thousands of artifacts from ancient Egypt, including the complete Tutankhamun collection, GEM offers state-of-the-art exhibits, immersive multimedia displays, and interactive experiences that bring Egypt’s rich history to life.

Karnak Temple

Roam through the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple complex in Luxor, the largest religious structure ever built. Explore the grand Hypostyle Hall with its forest of colossal columns, sacred obelisks, and ceremonial lakes, all dedicated to the Theban triad, especially Amun-Ra, the king of gods.

Luxor Temple

Visit the magnificent Luxor Temple, once connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes. This temple was a center for festivals and royal coronations, featuring stunning reliefs and colossal statues that glow beautifully under evening lights.

Valley of the Kings

Enter the legendary necropolis where ancient Egypt’s greatest rulers were buried. Descend into elaborately decorated tombs hidden deep within the cliffs, each telling stories of the journey to the afterlife and revealing the remarkable artistry of the New Kingdom period.

Edfu Temple

Discover the Temple of Edfu, one of the most intact ancient temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed sky god, its towering pylons, intricate reliefs, and sanctuaries reflect the architectural brilliance and religious rituals of the Ptolemaic era.

Kom Ombo Temple

Explore the rare double temple of Kom Ombo, uniquely dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility and the Nile, and Horus the Elder. The temple features symmetrical architecture, fascinating medical instruments carved in stone, and an attached crocodile museum.

Philae Temple

Visit the magical Philae Temple, set on Agilkia Island, and admire its stunning reliefs, colonnades, and sanctuaries dedicated to Isis, goddess of magic and motherhood. The temple’s relocation by UNESCO in the 1960s is a remarkable feat of preservation and engineering.

High Dam

Discover the monumental Aswan High Dam, constructed in the 20th century to regulate the flow of the Nile and generate electricity. The dam created Lake Nasser, one of the world’s largest man-made lakes, and continues to play a crucial role in Egypt’s economy and agriculture.
