Tour Plan

Day 1: Fly From Aswan To Cairo By Plane

Your two-day trip from Aswan to Cairo will start with a flight. After arriving, a tour guide will greet you and take you to explore key remnants of ancient Egyptian civilization, including:

The Giza Pyramids Complex: This place was like a time capsule that preserved the essence of the Ancient Egyptians for 4000 years. The Giza complex is surrounded by three large, the most grandiose, pyramids and six little ones, with the grand sphinx and the valley temple.

The Great Pyramid: The Great Pyramid of Giza, built around 2580 BC for Pharaoh Khufu, shines with a bright, sandy-gold hue. This monumental structure is one of the most significant human-made wonders, constructed using 2.3 million limestone blocks over 15 years and standing 147 meters (481 feet) tall. It is the only surviving original Wonder of the Ancient World. The interior includes the King's Chamber and Queen's Chamber, showcasing masterful design, while the true origins of this incredible feat remain an enduring mystery.

The Great Sphinx: The Great Sphinx, or "Horus, the Earth-Touching," is a remarkable Giza structure built during King Khafre's reign (2558–2532 B.C.). It features a lion's body and a human face, symbolizing the king's strength and intelligence.

The Valley Temple: A Valley Temple is located in a river or stream valley. The mummification process, known as the opening of the mouth ritual, focused on eternal life. Constructed during the Egyptian Old Kingdom (2686 - 2134 BC) under King Khafre, the well-preserved valley provides valuable insights into Ancient Egyptian burial practices.

The Grand Egyptian Museum: This highlights a key achievement of ancient Egypt, showcasing the influence of new generations inspired by this civilization.
The text covers three main archaeological complexes: the Hanging Obelisk, the statue of King Ramses II, and the ten statues of King Senusert, along with the Grand Staircase and Ptolemaic monarchs' statues. It also mentions the Victory Column of King Merneptah, the Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium & Gift Shop.

Lunch Meal: You are you regret enjoying a lunch at a local bar with a fabulous view of the Pyramid, following that you are going to visit

The Saqqara Step Pyramid: The Saqqara pyramid of King Djoser was constructed between 2670 and 2650 BC and was an artwork of great importance in ancient Egyptian culture. The design was done by Imhotep, his vizier, and the high priest of Ra. This was to be the final home to the spirit of their king. Mostly, the pyramid was known for a feature not to be missed in the much later and more excellent pyramids of Giza: the sacred complex.

Memphis City:Throughout 2925 BC, the first capital of ancient Egypt was established by Pharaoh Menes; his other name was "Narmer." The temple encircling the ka of Ptah was transported to the Greek city "Āί-gy-ptos," which now became the origin of today's EGYPT. This city is located 20 kilometers south of Giza.

Finally, you will stay the night at a 5-star hotel in Cairo and spend time there.
