About This Activity

This incredible tour takes you through the most iconic landmarks of Ancient Egypt. Your adventure begins with a visit to the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, two of the world's most famous structures. Then, explore Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you'll find fascinating ruins, statues, and temples that tell the story of Egypt’s glorious past. Your journey continues with a trip to Saqqara, the largest archaeological site in Egypt, home to the iconic Step Pyramid of Djoser.

Next, spend a day in Cairo, Egypt’s vibrant cultural heart. You’ll visit the Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of Pharaohs, including the famous Tutankhamun exhibit, await. Cairo offers a perfect blend of ancient history and modern life, and you'll have time to relax and absorb the rich atmosphere of this bustling metropolis before heading south to Luxor.

Your tour truly comes alive as you fly to Luxor and embark on a luxurious Nile River cruise. The grandeur of Karnak Temple, with its towering columns and majestic Hypostyle Hall, and the stunning Temple of Luxor, with statues of Ramses II, will leave you in awe. You’ll also visit the Valley of the Kings, home to the royal tombs of Egypt's greatest pharaohs, including that of the legendary King Tutankhamun.

As you cruise along the Nile, you’ll explore well-preserved temples such as Edfu, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, and Kom Ombo, known for its twin temples dedicated to both Sobek and Horus. These magnificent sites offer deep insights into Egypt’s ancient religious practices and architectural prowess.

The final stop on your tour is Aswan, where you’ll visit the impressive Aswan High Dam, the stunning Temple of Philae, and the Unfinished Obelisk. Don’t miss a traditional Felucca boat ride to the Botanical Gardens, where you’ll experience the serene beauty of this ancient land. This journey through Egypt’s past is a truly unforgettable experience.
