Constructed in 2570 BC by the renowned King Khufu, this is one of the most stunning landmarks globally. Its construction took nearly twenty years, utilizing massive blocks and precise measurements to achieve a height of 138.5 m (454.4 ft). Overseen by the chief architect Hemiunu, it is recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the World and is the only one that remains intact.
After exploring the three major pyramids of Giza, you will arrive at the legendary Sphinx, constructed by King Khafre (2558–2532 BC), son of King Khufu, and known as the Horus of the Horizon. This statue is particularly fascinating because it features the king's face combined with the body of a lion, symbolizing eternal wisdom and strength.
After exploring the remarkable accomplishments of the ancients, you will proceed to the historic site where the Mummification and Purification ceremony, called the Opening of the Mouth, was performed on the bodies of the great pharaohs of the 4th Dynasty who ruled Egypt during the Old Kingdom.
The Grand Egyptian Museum

This monumental institution offers a unique opportunity to explore some of the most remarkable archaeological monuments and artifacts ever discovered, 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 and gift shop.

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel in Cairo, you will check out and be transferred to Cairo Airport for your flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, your private tour guide will meet you and accompany you to explore some of the top-rated tourist attractions in Aswan, including:
The Aswan High Dam is widely regarded as one of Egypt's most significant modern achievements. Constructed between 1960 and 1970 with assistance from the Soviet Union, it plays a crucial role in flood control, serves as a major source of electricity generation, and has contributed significantly to the economic, social, and political development of Egypt.
This obelisk is one of the most significant in Egypt, despite never being completed. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC), it was intended to be the largest obelisk ever erected by a ruler at the Karnak Temple. Standing 41.75 meters (137.0 feet) tall, it was designed to reach the sky. However, after it cracked, the queen chose to leave it at its original site in Aswan, where it now serves as an open-air museum displaying the craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian builders.
Next, proceed with your tour guide to enjoy a delicious lunch.
You may have come across various stories and legends about Isis and her deep love for her husband Osiris. The Philae Temple, an ancient structure built between 380-362 BC during the Ptolemaic period, was dedicated to her and served as a center of worship. Remarkably, the temple was relocated to its present site on Agilkia Island to protect it from being submerged by the flooding of the Nile.

The magnificence of this temple is beyond words, and no trip to Egypt should overlook this extraordinary destination. In Abu Simbel, you will discover two remarkable temples constructed in 1264 BC. The larger temple was dedicated to King Ramses II, who built it with specific intentions: to honor the deities Amun‑Ra, Ra‑Horakhty, and Ptah, and to feature a divine statue of himself, celebrated during the Sun Festival on February 22nd and October. This temple was created to commemorate his triumph in the Battle of Kadesh and to preserve his legacy for millennia.

This offers a fascinating opportunity to uncover secrets about the ancient lives of royalty.
One of Queen Hatshepsut's most remarkable accomplishments is her stunning temple on the West Bank of Luxor, carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Baharia in 1479 BC by her chief architect Senenmut. This temple was built to celebrate and immortalize her achievements and to honor the blessings and protection of the creator god Amun. The temple of Hatshepsut is considered one of the most extraordinary temples worldwide, noted for its inscriptions and precise architectural measurements.
This is one of the most fascinating statues in Egypt, constructed in 1350 BC. It is a twin quartzite statue representing King Amenhotep III, who is renowned for his remarkable accomplishments reflected in the temples and statues he commissioned. These two statues were originally created to protect his mortuary temple, but since the temple was destroyed, the Colossi of Memnon remain as the sole surviving remnants.
Next, you will enjoy your lunch at an exceptional Egyptian restaurant before joining your tour guide to begin your visit to:
You will now visit the largest religious temple in all of Egypt, the "Karnak Temple," which was constructed between 2000 BC and 30 BC. This temple complex was dedicated to the Theban Triad deities: Amun-Re, Mut, and Montu. Prominent and enduring rulers such as Ramses the Great, Amenhotep IV, and Ramses the Great contributed to expanding the temple to its present grandeur.
