Your first stop will be the world famous Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty (circa 2600–2500 BCE), these include the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Here, you'll learn about their construction, overseen by Pharaoh Khufu and his heirs, and their significance as royal tombs in ancient Egyptian culture.
Next, you will visit the Valley Temple of Khafre, built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom (circa 2575–2465 BCE). Located near the Great Sphinx, this temple played a key role in the mummification of Pharaoh Khafre and other royals. Your guide will explain ancient Egyptian funeral customs and how the temple prepared the deceased for the afterlife.
No trip to Egypt is complete without visiting the Great Sphinx of Giza. This massive limestone statue, built during Pharaoh Khafre’s reign around 2500 BCE, has a lion’s body and a human head, symbolizing strength and wisdom. For over 4,500 years, it has stood at the Giza Plateau near the Great Pyramids, as a timeless symbol of ancient Egypt.
After an exciting morning of exploring, it's time to relax and enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch. Take in stunning views of Cairo from a different perspective as you dine on delicious local cuisine.

After a busy day, it’s time to head to the airport for your flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, check into your hotel, take some time to rest, and let your thoughts drift to the exciting adventures that await you tomorrow.
Enjoy your breakfast boxes, then meet your private tour guide to begin an early morning adventure in a comfortable deluxe vehicle to Abu Simbel.
Your first stop will be at the iconic Abu Simbel temples, built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II (1279–1213 BCE) in the 13th century BCE. These impressive structures, carved out of a mountainside, were constructed to commemorate Ramses II’s victory at the Battle of Kadesh and to honor the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah. The site features enormous statues of the Pharaoh himself, standing at 20 meters tall, and was relocated in the 1960s to avoid submersion during the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
After exploring the temples, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant to refuel for the rest of your day.
In the late afternoon, you will transfer to the train station for an overnight train ride to Luxor. Upon arrival, you will check into your hotel in Luxor and rest to continue your 6 days Egypt family culture holiday tomorrow.
Start your day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel before beginning your tour of Luxor, known as an open-air museum, and exploring its incredible sites on both the East and West Banks.
Your first stop in Luxor is the Valley of the Kings, the burial site of ancient Egyptian pharaohs from the New Kingdom (1550–1070 BCE). Here, you'll find the tombs of rulers like Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II. Decorated with intricate wall paintings and once filled with treasures, these tombs were built to ensure a safe journey to the afterlife. Explore their role in Egypt's history.
Next, you’ll visit the magnificent Hatshepsut Temple, built in the 15th century BCE to honor Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most renowned female pharaohs. This impressive mortuary temple, called Djeser-Djeseru (“Holy of Holies”), was designed by her architect, Senenmut, and features intricate carvings and grand architecture that reflect her remarkable reign.
Visit the Colossi of Memnon on your family trip to Egypt. These are two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III from around 1350 BCE. Standing 18 meters tall, they once guarded the entrance to his mortuary temple, now mostly destroyed. In Roman times, one statue became famous for its "singing" sound at dawn, linked to the mythical hero Memnon. Discover their rich history and role in ancient Egyptian culture and mythology.
Take a break from touring and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor.
After lunch, visit the Karnak Temple Complex, an ancient site dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Built over 2,000 years, starting around 2000 BCE, it features contributions from pharaohs like Senusret I, Hatshepsut, and Ramses II. Explore the towering columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall, built by Seti I and Ramses II, and admire detailed hieroglyphics depicting historic events and rituals. Your guide will share the stories that make Karnak a key landmark of ancient Egypt.
End your Family Culture Tour with a visit to the Luxor Temple, built around 1400 BCE by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II. Dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, the temple hosted Practices like the annual Opet Festival. As the sun sets, admire the illuminated columns, statues, and obelisks that bring its ancient history to life.
After a day of exploration in Luxor, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Cairo, where you’ll check in for an overnight stay.
Fuel up for the day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel before heading out to explore Alexandria.
Travel with a comfortable, air-conditioned car and enjoy your trip to Alexandria, with the road taking approximately 2 hours.
Start your tour in Alexandria at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an ancient underground burial site from the 2nd century AD during the Roman period. Discovered in 1900, the catacombs likely served a wealthy Romanized Egyptian family from the late 1st to 4th century AD. Explore the intricate carvings and the unique mix of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman styles, showcasing Alexandria's cultural fusion under the Roman Empire.
Next, explore the Greco-Roman Museum to dive into the city's rich history and admire artifacts from different eras. From ancient Greek sculptures to beautifully decorated mummies, this museum is a treasure trove of history and a must-visit for any enthusiast.
