Tour Plan

Day 1: Hurghada Tours to Cairo

We will take you from your hotel in Hurghada to the airport for your flight to Cairo. Once you arrive, your tour guide will greet you and show you the city’s highlights.

The Great Pyramids of Giza

After breakfast, enjoy a day tour sightseeing the great Egyptian civilization, starting with Giza Pyramids:

The Giza Pyramids Complex

The Giza Plateau is an archaeological site home to the three best-known Pyramids (Khufu, Khafre, and Mankaure).
These pyramids are mainly made of limestone, and they are one of the few places a tourist will want to see.

The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid, built in 2570 BC, is a remarkable stone structure of 2 million tones. It was completed in just 15 years and is still considered one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Well-preserved over centuries, it stands at 146.6 meters (481 feet) and is the heaviest object in the world, weighing about 6 million units. It features an impressive King’s Chamber.

The Great Sphinx

The Sphinx is carved in limestone. It was made by King Khafre (c.2558–2532 BC), who was known as a legendary creature with a human head and a lion body. The structure has been there for years since it guarded the plateau.

The Valley Temple

The piece is a noticeable fact that signifies the grandeur of Egypt's past as it has been a place to preserve and embalm the king's body. It was him from the 4th dynasty.

The Grand Egyptian Museum

The Grand Egyptian Museum features an impressive collection showcasing 5,000 years of Ancient Egyptian civilization. Highlights include the Statue of King Ramses II, the Statues of King Senusert, the Grand Staircase, the Victory Column of King Merneptah, and the Hanging Obelisk. Visitors can also explore the royal regalia, Grand Atrium, and Gift Shop, providing a unique glimpse into the ancient world.

They offer exclusive VIP tickets to let people in and view the rest of the substances. If you want more information, email us.

Lunch Meal Enjoy a meal at a restaurant with a stunning view of the Pyramids and Nile, followed by a visit to the renowned Egyptian Museum.

The Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum — the storage of the most essential things in Egypt.
It was the first one of this kind, established in 1901 by the Egyptian Government.

Day 2: Explore the attractions of Aswan

After the morning meal, a private tour guide will take you on a fantastic trip through the Nile River and visit the top sites of Aswan and Luxor.

The High Dam, which is quite big and made to hold back the running water of a river
or a stream, dates back to the mid-1960s. It was built to provide Egypt with the new technological improvements of the modern electric world.

The Unfinished Obelisk An unfinished yet astonishing outdoor monument, the Unfinished Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC) is an extraordinary sculpture in which the craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptians is evident. It has not been detached from the bedrock and still stands as a witness to the skilled craft of the workers.

The Philae Temple is a dedicated temple to the Goddess of Motherhood, Isis. It is the most ancient temple, dating back to the 4th century BC, namely between 380 and 362 BC. Agilkia Island is home to the temple that serves as a sanctuary for the mythical myth of Osiris—it is truly a paradise on Earth.

After returning to your cruise ship, you can have lunch and dinner onboard and even stay overnight.

Day 3: Day Tour to Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples

After breakfast on the cruise ship, you can travel to the following destinations:

The Kom Ombo Temple: The Kom Ombo was built by the Ptolemies between 180 and 47 BCE and is an outstanding archaeological site in Egypt. It is unique with its dual spirit: the upper part is dedicated to the Haroeris falcon god, and the lower part is dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god who is a symbol of fertility.

The Edfu Temple is nicknamed the most preserved among the temples. Its construction took place during the Hellenistic period, between 237 and 57 BC. It boasts many inscriptions from which one can learn about the language, beliefs, and mythos of Ancient Egyptian civilization at that time.

After the cruise reaches Luxor, you may begin your trip by having lunch and dinner meals aboard and spending your night onboard.

Day 4: Check out from the Cruise and Explore Luxor Landmarks

After breakfast, proceed with your journey alongside a professional guide. Start with a city tour of Luxor, during which you will be able to see:

The Valley of the Kings Nestled on a valley slope, this area was home to a society ruled by kings and the wealthy from the 17th to 18th centuries BC. As the most significant part of the Theban Necropolis, it features temple tombs for notable rulers like Seti I and Hatshepsut, as well as the site of Tutankhamun’s rebellion and the descendants of Amenhotep I.

The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, a symbol of Ancient Egyptian architectural achievement, is a significant site. Retaining its original beauty, the temple was built atop the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari in 1479 BCE and features a statue that represents Hatshepsut's life and title as God's Wife of Amun-Ra.

The Colossi of Memnon Grandfather of HS Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1349 BC) is the one who brought to light these 18-metre-high giant quartzite statues, the Colossi of Memnon, in 1350 BC. He built them to adorn cities and places with the faces and life of Amenhotep and the story of the fairy-tale Memnon, the giant king of Greeks.

Lunch Meal Reside behind a heavy meal at a local restaurant in Luxor and then proceed with your tour by exploring the bonkers :


The Karnak Temple
Thebes, is one of the best-preserved temples in the world. It stood for about 4,000 years as a sanctuary for the cult of Amun, also known as Amon Ebisu. It was called Ipet-isu, meaning "The Most Select of Places."
The complex covers approximately 2 miles and includes over 25 temples, chapels, obelisks, sanctuaries, and columns depicting the Pharaohs' heroic deeds.

Eventually, a private air-conditioned vehicle will transfer you back to your hotel in Hurghada.
