You'll be picked up from your cruise at Alexandria Port and taken to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, your guide will greet you, and you'll travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle.
Your first stop will be the Valley of the Kings, where you'll explore the ancient tombs of Pharaohs and learn about their burial rituals and beliefs.

End your day with a visit to Karnak Temple, one of the largest temple complexes in the world. Marvel at the towering columns and intricate hieroglyphs as you learn about their importance in ancient Egyptian religion.
After a full day of exploring, check in to your 5-star hotel in Luxor for a restful night's sleep. Get ready for another exciting day of sightseeing tomorrow!
Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel before checking out and heading to your next destination.
Board a short flight to Cairo, the bustling capital of Egypt. As you fly over the vast desert landscape, catch a glimpse of the iconic pyramids in the distance.
Located on the outskirts of Cairo, the Giza Pyramids are a must-see for any visitor to Egypt. These ancient structures are significant in Egyptian history and continue to awe visitors with their grandeur and mystery.
Next to the Giza Pyramids stands the Great Sphinx, a half-human, half-lion statue that has stood for thousands of years. Marvel at its impressive size and intricate details as you learn about its role in ancient Egyptian mythology.
Explore the Valley Temple, an ancient mortuary temple near the Giza Pyramids. Built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre, it served as a place for mummification and rituals in preparation for the afterlife.
For a more in-depth understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization, make sure to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). This state-of-the-art museum is set to open in 2021 and will house over 100,000 artifacts, including the famous treasures of King Tutankhamun. Get ready to immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of Egypt as you explore its many exhibits.
After a morning of learning and exploring, take a break and indulge in some local Egyptian cuisine. Try traditional dishes like koshari or falafel, and don't forget to sip on some refreshing mint tea. Not only will you satisfy your hunger, but you'll also get a taste of the vibrant food culture in Egypt.
No trip to Egypt would be complete without visiting the iconic pyramids. While most people head straight to the Great Pyramid of Giza, consider taking a detour to Saqqara instead. Here, you'll find the Step Pyramid, one of the earliest pyramid structures in Egypt and an important symbol of their ancient beliefs.
