Early in the day, our driver will get you from the hotel you will be staying at in Luxor to the airport. Our resident will meet you on arrival and lead you to the Cairo tour guide to start the two-day trip from Luxor. This tour typically includes:
The Giza Pyramids Complex
The Pyramids of Giza, which includes the Great Pyramid of Khufu, has been built to be the resting place of the pharaohs of the 4th dynasty and their queens since around 2600 BC.
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 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
The necropolis is the most famous of the Old Kingdom period, with 4th Dynasty burial complexes. It was used to prep for their journey into the hereafter and perform the mummification and opening of the mouth rituals.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
The Grand Egyptian Museum was built to be the gateway to the innumerable treasures of ancient Egyptian origin, which were the result of 5000 years of bond bone and beautiful artistry. The presence of this great wonder led to experiencing high architectural constructions and unique examples.
After you finish your visits to Pyramids Giza and The Grand Egyptian Museum, we will transfer you to Cairo International Airport to your flight to Aswan and you will spend the night in Aswan.

Nearby is the temple dedicated to his wife, Queen Nefertari. The temple walls showcase masterpieces depicting the Battle of Kadesh and the peace treaty signed in 1274 BC.
