7 Days Cairo, Luxor, Aswan & Abu Simbel

• Upon your arrival at Cairo International Airport, our representative will be waiting to greet you. You will be assisted and transferred in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to your five-star hotel in the city.

  Once at your hotel, our representative will help you with the check-in process and provide you with your itinerary, along with confirming the meeting times for your upcoming tours.

  You can then enjoy some free time at your hotel.

In the morning, your tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to begin your exciting exploration of Egypt.

Giza Pyramids
The Giza Pyramids are the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, making them one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. The three main pyramids include the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure.

Queen’s Pyramids
You’ll also visit smaller pyramids where the queens of the pharaohs were buried, as well as ancient labor villages, temples, and tombs that once served the royal family and their servants.

Great Sphinx of Giza
The Great Sphinx is the largest Egyptian statue, carved from limestone on the Giza plateau. It depicts a lion's body with a human head and wears the "nemes" headcloth. Originally painted in red ochre with a beard, much of its original features have eroded over time.

The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities
Next, head to the Egyptian Museum, which houses an extensive collection of ancient artifacts. With over 25,000 pieces on display, it is home to the world’s most valuable collection of Egyptian art, including a dedicated exhibit of treasures from Tutankhamun's tomb, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922.

Lunch
Enjoy a break for lunch at a local restaurant, offering delicious Egyptian cuisine (drinks are not included).

Khan El Khalili Bazaar
After the museum, head to the vibrant Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo's famous market. Here, you can immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of the market, where you'll find everything from handcrafted goods to jewelry, spices, and souvenirs.

After your tour, we will transfer you to the train station for your overnight sleeper train to Luxor.

Overnight: Sleeper Train to Luxor.

After your arrival in Luxor, your guide will meet you at the train station to begin your exploration of the city's fascinating historical sites.

Valley of the Kings
Start your day with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of many pharaohs were discovered. These tombs, carved into the desert rocks, are richly decorated and filled with treasures for the afterlife. You’ll have the opportunity to explore three of these ancient burial sites.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Next, head to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. This incredible structure, dedicated to Egypt's only female pharaoh, rises majestically from the desert plain in a series of terraces, beautifully merging with the surrounding limestone cliffs.

Colossi of Memnon
Finish the morning tour with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These statues were erected to guard the funerary temple of Amenhotep III and have stood the test of time for centuries.

After the tour, your Egyptologist guide will escort you to your hotel in Luxor for a well-deserved rest.

Overnight: Stay in Luxor.

After breakfast at your hotel, your guide will accompany you to explore the wonders of Luxor’s East Bank.

Karnak Temple
Begin with a visit to the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest religious site in the world. The temple's history spans nearly 3,000 years, with ruins dating back to the 21st century BC, alongside monuments from the 7th century AD. This temple complex offers a remarkable journey through Egypt's long and diverse history.

Luxor Temple
Next, head to Luxor Temple, constructed by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II. This temple is unique in that it showcases Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, and Islamic monuments, reflecting the city’s rich cultural history across different eras.

After your visit to these incredible sites, you will be transferred by private, air-conditioned vehicle to Aswan.

Upon arrival in Aswan, you’ll be taken to your hotel for check-in and a relaxing evening.

Overnight: Stay in Aswan.

After breakfast at your hotel, your guide will accompany you to explore some of Aswan’s most impressive landmarks.

Aswan High Dam
Your first stop will be the Aswan High Dam, a colossal structure completed in 1970. The dam was built to control the annual flooding of the Nile, provide irrigation for agriculture, and generate hydroelectric power, making it one of the most significant engineering feats of the 20th century.

Unfinished Obelisk
Next, visit the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the red granite quarry. This obelisk, intended to be the largest in Egypt, stands at a height of 42 meters and weighs 1,200 tons. It provides insight into the ancient Egyptians' stone-cutting techniques.

Philae Temple
Your tour continues to Philae Island, home to the stunning Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Situated between the old and new Aswan Dams, this temple is one of the four sites central to the myth of Isis, Osiris, and Horus.

After finishing your tour, your Egyptologist guide will take you back to your hotel in Aswan for a relaxing evening.

Overnight: Stay in Aswan.

Your adventure begins early in the morning when our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan at around 5:00 AM. The early start ensures you’ll arrive at the temples of Abu Simbel before the afternoon heat sets in, allowing you to enjoy the experience in comfort. Along the way, you can also appreciate the beauty of a desert sunrise.

After approximately 3 hours of travel, you will arrive at Abu Simbel.

Abu Simbel
Abu Simbel is home to two magnificent temples carved into solid rock—one dedicated to Ramses II and the other to his beloved first wife, Nefertari. The construction of these temples took about 20 years during the reign of Ramses II, and they are remarkably well-preserved due to being buried under sand until the 19th century.

The temples' extraordinary location on a rock cliff along the Nile, between the first and second cataracts, makes them even more impressive. The temples might not be as famous as they are today if it weren’t for their relocation to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser after the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

Your guided tour will last about two hours, giving you ample time to explore both temples, learn about their history, and discover fascinating facts such as how they were preserved, the challenges of moving them, and Egypt's international efforts to safeguard them.

After this unforgettable experience, you’ll head back to Aswan and catch a flight to Cairo.

Overnight: Stay in Cairo.

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, our representative will assist you with your check-out process. Then, you will be transferred to Cairo International Airport for your final departure, where we will ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience as you go through your final check-in.

Safe travels and we hope you had an unforgettable journey through Egypt!
