Giza Pyramids Complex
The Giza Pyramids Complex has stood for 5,000 years as the oldest and largest archaeological site in the world. The Golden Giza complex is the most extensive open-air museum globally.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
Since its construction in 2570 BC, the Great Pyramid, also known as Khufu’s Horizon, has earned legendary status as a timeless marvel and remains the only surviving structure among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Standing 147 meters (481 feet) tall and weighing six million tons, it was once the tallest and heaviest building on the planet. This extraordinary monument showcases remarkable architectural mastery, particularly evident in the design of the King’s Chamber and Queen’s Chamber.
The Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx is a majestic guardian from paradise, depicted as a mythical creature called the sphinx, featuring the body of a prehistoric lion and the head of King Khafre. It symbolizes the transformation into the immortal, powerful, and wise Horus of the Horizon. Standing 73 meters (240 feet) long and 19 meters (66 feet) high, the sphinx was sculpted from a single massive limestone block and remains shrouded in mystery since its creation during the Old Kingdom period (2686–2134 BC).
The Valley Temple
The Valley Temple is a well-preserved example of mythical art created during Egypt's Old Kingdom by King Khafre. Located within the complex, it was used for the mummification ritual, also known as the Opening of the Mouth ceremony, which was a significant event in ancient Egyptian civilization and provides valuable insights into their religious and mythical beliefs.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements, showcasing 5,000 years of continuous innovation and remarkable artistic creativity. This monumental institution offers a unique opportunity to explore some of the most significant archaeological monuments and artifacts ever uncovered, including:
The Hanging Obelisk, the statue of King Ramses II, the ten statues of King Senusert, the grand staircase, statues of Ptolemaic kings and queens, the Victory Column of King Merneptah, the magnificent Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium with the gift shop.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Overnight: Cairo Hotel
Enjoy a delightful breakfast, then check out of your hotel and proceed to Cairo airport for your flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, meet your tour guide to explore some of Aswan's top tourist attractions, beginning with:
The High Dam
The Aswan High Dam is a sophisticated and modern structure built between 1960 and 1970 under the leadership of President Gamal Abdel Nasser. This dam was developed in collaboration with the Soviet Union's Moscow-based Hydro Project Institute to regulate the Nile floods, store water in the artificial Lake Nasser, generate hydroelectric power, and enhance water storage for irrigation and agriculture.
The Unfinished Obelisk
The unfinished obelisk was intended to soar into the sky as a golden pillar, symbolizing the utopia established under the authority of Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC), to stand at the grand entrance of the Karnak temple. It reached a height of 41.75 meters (137.0 feet) and weighed over 1,200 tons but developed a crack during the carving process. It remains embedded in the bedrock, making it one of the most remarkable exhibits in the open-air museum, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship, carving techniques, and tools of ancient Egyptian builders.
Lunch Time
You will have lunch at an excellent restaurant in Aswan before preparing to visit:
Philae Temple
The Philae Temple preserves the story and legends of the "Myth of Osiris," which continue to resonate today. It narrates the tale of Osiris, the husband of Isis, the goddess of motherhood, who was killed by his brother Set, the god of chaos and the desert. Osiris was later resurrected as the ruler of the underworld. Following this, Set was defeated by Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris, who is the sky falcon god of protection and victory. This temple is among the latest constructed in Egypt and stands as one of the finest examples of ancient Egyptian architecture, built between 380 and 362 BC during the Ptolemaic period. In the 1960s, the temple was relocated to Agilkia Island as part of a UNESCO-led rescue operation.
Overnight
You will check into a 5-star hotel in Aswan for your overnight stay.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Flight: From Cairo to Aswan
Overnight: Aswan Hotel
In the early morning, you will be transported in a modern air-conditioned vehicle, with your breakfast boxes, to visit Egypt's most historically significant archaeological site:
Abu Simbel Temples
The magnificent Temple of Ramesses, revered by Amun, the Abu Simbel temple serves as a guardian of the southern border and a timeless symbol of the eternal power and legacy of King Ramses II (1279-1213 BCE). This architectural marvel was constructed in 1264 BC during Egypt’s New Kingdom period (1570-1050 BC) to immortalize his heritage and identity to this day. Abu Simbel consists of two temples: the larger one is dedicated to Ramses II, where the sun festival is celebrated annually on February 22 and October 22, when sunlight illuminates the faces of the four seated statues of the divine King Ramses II, Amun (The Creator God), Ptah (God of Creation), and Ra-Horakhty. The smaller temple honors his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari, and is dedicated to the goddess Hathor. The temple complex was relocated during one of the most challenging archaeological rescue efforts in history, a project led by UNESCO in the mid-1960s.
