No memorable visit to Egypt is more impressive than the Pyramids of Giza. It’s one of the most recognizable monumental sites in history where you will be in direct contact with three enchanting pyramids dated back to the reign of the 4th dynasty and Giza Plateau is the home of these pyramids which attracts adventurers and travelers from all over the world. What is remarkable about Giza Pyramids is that they are not the same size; the largest pyramid is dedicated to King Cheops and it was served as the hideout of the king’s treasures and his mummy.
Another significant element at Giza Pyramids Complex is a massive sculpture of a human-headed lion constructed upon the order of Pharaoh Chephren and many myths believed that its head indicated to the king himself. What’s unrecognizable till today is that how the Sphinx gained its name and what it means. However, most historians indicated that “Sphinx” is a Greek word that means the living image.
This sacred site is also located at Giza Pyramids Complex and it’s a funerary temple used for King Khafre and his family members. The Valley temple is a very common spot at Giza Plateau which attracts many visitors and it shows how important is the 4th dynasty in the development of Egyptian architecture.
It’s the time when your lunch will be ready at a good Egyptian restaurant then proceed to:
It’s too hard to miss the Egyptian Museum while you are in Cairo. This centrally located museum was opened in 1902 and it was mainly set up to house the ancient Egyptian artifacts, so you will have an appointment with an endless selection of magical antiquities including the contents of King Tutankhamen’s tomb.
End your Cairo tour then you will fly to Aswan to continue your 4 days tour and once you arrive, our professional delegate will transfer you to one of 5* deluxe Nile cruises to check-in and spend the night on board.
After breakfast on the cruise, your personal tour guide will pick you up to start your Nile cruise tour by witnessing Aswan sightseeing:
Philae temple complex is the most picturesque in all of Egypt. It stands on Aglika Island after the creation of Aswan High Dam which saved it from submerging. Philae Temple worked as the center of the cult of the goddess Isis during the Ptolemaic Period and it’s one of the most remarkable attractions in Egypt as its decorations, statues, and contents are well preserved till today.
When its building starting in 1960, Aswan High Dam was one of the most significant achievements of President Gamal Abdul Nasser. It’s a majestic engineering feat that was established over 12,500 feet across and 360 feet high. Completed in 1971, it became the main provider of electricity in Egypt.
The Unfinished Obelisk is the greatest of Egypt’s monoliths and the largest ever built by man but never finished. It was made from red granite and it stands 140 feet in height.
Have lunch on board the cruise while sailing and overnight.
In the morning, you will join your tour guide by a modern A/C car to visit:
The marvelous Kom Ombo temple is one of the most impressive historical sites in Upper Egypt which is dated back to the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Kom Ombo Temple has a dual dedication to Horus and Sobek.
Back to the cruise for lunch and continue sail to visit by a horse carriage:
Edfu Temple or “The Temple of Horus” was constructed during the Greco-Roman Period and it’s the most picturesque stop of all of the Nile-side monuments. The structural design of the temple is unique thus; it’s the most lovely destination for many of Egypt’s visitors.
Sail to Luxor and spend the night on board.
Breakfast on the ship then you will be guided by your fluent Egyptologist to discover:
The Valley of the Kings is a burial chamber used for around 500 years for the royal burials of Egyptian kings, their family members, and their treasures. It’s a complex of 63 royal tombs which was found in 1922 by Howard Carter and the most well-known tomb discovered at the site belongs to King Tutankhamen. The wealth of the site contents had kept the historians and experts excited for two centuries.
The mighty Hatshepsut temple was constructed to honor the works of Queen Hatshepsut and its establishment lasted for around 15 years. This awesome temple is located below the rocky cliffs of “Deir El Bahari” on the west bank of the Nile and it has a terrace with lengthy columns and other three terraces reaching 29 meters tall in addition to the burial chamber of the queen. Hatshepsut Temple is used as a funerary temple for Hatshepsut and a sanctuary for Amun Ra.
On the west bank of the Nile, you will meet two majestic twin sculptures of Amenhotep III and two little statues for his wife and his mother “The Colossi of Memnon“. The two main statues, each towering 60 feet tall are sitting at the entrance of the Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III ( This temple was destroyed by an earthquake after that )
Lunch will be served at a high-quality restaurant then proceed to visit
Karnak temple is located on the east side of the Nile River which dated back to 2055 BC, it consists of a number of chapels, temples, and other buildings. It was mainly constructed as a cult temple for the worship of the gods Amun, Khonsu, and Mut.

We (couple) recently undertook a 3 night / 4 days tour of mesmerising Egypt. Although the tour generally went well however due many a reasons (see few below), my honest opinion is to avoid using Egypt tour portal for at-least a private / luxury trip as they lack transparency and normally expected hospitality. in the fact, we are enjoyable with 4 days cairo & Nile Cruise Excursions from Hurghada
