Day 2 : Touring the Unforgettable Pyramids and the Famous Egyptian Museum

The Giza Pyramids

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel, followed by a guided tour to some of Cairo's best-known landmarks, such as one of the most imposing structures, the Great Giza Pyramids Complex.

The Giza Pyramids Complex

Perched on the Esplanade, this spot has thousands of tourists crossing to these sites daily. Plus, it is home to the most attractive collection of the oldest Egyptian ancient sites. The 4th dynasty (2613-2494 BC) is the era, in particular, where this specific civilization became the most successful in building various achievements. There is a glimpse of what you will look at in the temple compound.

The Great Pyramids of Giza

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 Great Sphinx in Horus of the Horizon was created by Pharaoh Khafre between 2558 and 2532 BC. Modeled after a lion, the Sphinx symbolizes divinity and is a guardian of immortality. Its unique characteristics are highlighted by its connection to the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV.

The Valley Temple

It was the venue for the burial of King Khafre in the last quarter of the 26th century. The place, hardly the most beautiful of the temples, is a destination for many travelers for its splendid way of mummification and purification, which were used there. It is a favorite among some travelers.

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.

You will have exclusive access to additional artifacts if you purchase a VIP ticket. Contact us for more information.

The day begins with breakfast in a nice, modern, air-conditioned vehicle and an excursion to experience the fantastic activities of the day.

Day 3: Tour To Luxor Most Famous Attractions

The Karnak Temple

Why not begin with a healthy and prosperous breakfast and then get ready to start your full-day tour to some of the most significant historical sites of the city with the private Egyptologist you have hired? To get started, we will:

The Valley of the Kings

The masterminds of the New Kingdom (1570–1050 BC) are honored, and there are 63 tombs of nobles and some of the New Kingdom's famous kings and queens. The vast maze of tombs constructed beneath the earth's crust was equally impressive in bringing to life the day's different religious beliefs and practices.

The temple of Hatshepsut

The Mortuary temple of queen 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

The Colossi of Memnon, which were made of quartzite, 720 tons each, were put up by Amenhotep III (1391–1353). They were earlier, in 1350 BC, and had a height of 18 meters (60 feet). The Greco-Roman age later honored them, along with the 107 inscriptions on the statues that tell the Memnon, the mythical hero that was the son of Eos, the dawn in the Greek god's saga.

Have a lunch in a local restaurant in Luxor, then continue to:

The Karnak Temple

The Karnak Temple 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.

It's time to return. Please catch your flight to where you will spend the night.

Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs

One well-known archeological site is the Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs, which were built in the Greco-Roman period, mainly from the 2nd to the 4th centuries. They were constructed as a burial space for a family, and as a result, they became one of the seven wonders of the Medieval World. This is a unique kind of open-air museum that provides pictorial harmony between Pharaonic and Hellenistic art.

Pompey's Pillar

A wonderful granite specimen 28 meters high and 2.7 meters wide, the introduction. The most magnificent Roman victory monument was built between 298 and 303 AD so that the legacy of the Roman emperor Diocletian could be placed in history.

Have a wonderful lunch and continue on your way.

The Qaitbay Citadel

The Qaitbay Citadel is a significant landmark on the Mediterranean coast. In Dubai, visitors can enjoy exquisite Islamic architecture in an open-air museum. Built between 1477 and 1479 AD during Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf Al-Din Qa'it Bay's reign, the citadel incorporates ruins from the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria.

The Alexandria Library

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a recognized cultural locus and a modern rendering of the monumental ancient Alexandrian Library, which was lost long ago in the first century. The contemporary library was opened in 2003 and is equipped with a series of museums housing iconic ancient materials and 8 million units of information (books) present.
