Tour Plan

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: A magical animal, the Sphinx always guards the Giza Pyramids Complex. It looks like a drawing that tells the story of King Khafre's (2558 BC—2532 BC) wisdom and might, as he is pictured as a vast ancient lion.
The Valley Temple: The Valley temple, which is dated from 2700 B.C., was made to transport the journey of the dead to the other world. It was also a place for the execution of the rite of purification and mummification of the bodies of the kings and queens belonging to the 4th dynasty.
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.

The rock-cut temples have remarkably existed till now, and the first ones come from the time of Pharaoh Ramses II, who lived about 1200 B.C.

The Valley of the Kings is a hallowed place. Each of the 63 tombs is covered with splendid paintings and full of treasures.
These tombs were built to pay homage to powerful politicians, such as Ramses II, Hatshepsut, Seti I, and Tutankhamun.
The Hatshepsut Temple: 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: 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.
Lunch Meal: The lunch will take place at a lovely local restaurant in Luxor synchronously, after which you will go 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.
In the end, our representative will take you by private, air-conditioned car from Luxor to your hotel in Hurghada.
