Itinerary
When you arrive at the airport in Cairo, a representative from "New Travel Dynamics" will greet you and help you with passport control procedures, luggage identification, and portage. A private, air-conditioned minivan will take you from the airport to a five-star hotel in Cairo so you may check in.
After breakfast in the morning, leave the hotel and go with your personal Egyptologist tour guide to the most well-known tourist destinations in Cairo, including:
Giza Pyramids Complex
Between 2600 and 2500 BC, the immortal kings of the 4th dynasty built the Giza Plateau, the world's greatest archaeological marvel, to provide a golden route to the skies.
Pyramids of Giza
The golden core of the Great Pyramid, which dates back to 2570 BC and was constructed in just 15 years using ramps and 400,000 workers under Hemiunu's leadership, immortalises the legendary legacy of King Khufu. The main architecture is 146.6 meters (481 feet) in length and weighs a total of six million tonnes. The magnificent Queen's Chamber and King's Chamber, which display the genius and skill of the ancient Egyptian builders, are located within the Great Pyramid.
The Great Sphinx
During Pharaoh Khafre's reign (2558–2532 BC), the world's most famous statue and the earliest massive sculpture in history was made. The magnificent design of the legendary sphinx, which revealed Khafre's face, served as the model for the Great Sphinx. Due to the statue's attraction to numerous ideas of pseudohistory and pseudoarcheology, there are a lot of conjectures on its age and origin.
The Valley Temple
The receiving, mummification, and purifying of the royal bodies of the fourth dynasty took place at the heavenly valley temple of Chephren, which is made up of sixteen enormous limestone pillars covered in polished red-pink granite.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
Spanning almost 490,000 square meters, the Grand Egyptian Museum is a massive work of heavenly art filled with fascinating archaeological marvels that line up with the cosmic pyramids of Giza. For future generations, it provides access to 5,000 years of history and sheds light on the creativity, spirituality, and continuing legacy of ancient Egypt. Through sophisticated architecture, creative vision, and engrossing narrative, it connects ancient Egypt with contemporary innovation. In addition to research labs and educational facilities devoted to conserving Egypt's legacy, GEM is intended to include one of the largest conservation centers in the Middle East. Treasures like the Hanging Obelisk, the 11-meter colossus of Ramses II, and the entire collection of more than 5,000 artefacts from Tutankhamun are marvels to all.
After eating breakfast at the hotel, meet your personal Egyptologist tour guide to explore the most well-known tourist destinations in Luxor, beginning with:
The Valley of the Kings
The heavenly 63 tombs of the greatest kings, queens, and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (1570 BC–1544 BC) from the 18th to the 20th dynasties are located in the subterranean core of the Theban Necropolis on the west bank of the Nile, known as the "Valley of the Kings". The valley's entrance descends from a mystical hill that resembles the BEN-BEN, the golden symbol of rebirth and eternal life where Atum created the world.
Hatshepsut Temple
The greatest example of ancient Egyptian architecture is the magical mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC), which was designed by Senenmut, the royal overseer of the works, in honour of the creator god Amun-Ra. It also provides an artistic representation of Hatshepsut's epic life cycle from her coronation to her rebirth. It is composed of three enormous terraces carved out of the massive Deir El Bahari cliffs.
Colossi of Memnon
The epic Colossi of Memnon has been tested by time since its construction in 1350 BC to provide a golden glimpse into the greatness of Amenhotep III. It displays a number of 107 Roman-era inscriptions dating between 20 and 250 AD in Greek and Latin that tell the great story of Memnon, the Greek mythological king, as well as carvings dedicated to the god of the Nile Hapi, his wife Tiye, and mother Mutemwiya.
Karnak Temple
The mythical fortified village of the Karnak Temple is the second most visited historical destination, having been established during Senusret I's reign in 1971 BC and lasting until the end of the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305-30 BCE), earning the title of the most selected of places that became Thebes' religious capital, honouring the gods of Amen-Re, Mut, and Montu, who formed the Theban triad.

The Edfu Temple.
The miraculous house of triumph and honour was constructed between 237 BC and 57 BC to provide a magical portal to the best examples of religion, myth, and language from the Egyptian Hellenistic period. Edfu Temple was dedicated to the god of the skies and the victory of the falcon god Horus, and it is regarded as the best example of late architectural development.
Kom Ombo Temple
The heavenly Kom Ombo Temple is a one-of-a-kind structure that honours great gods on the northern and southern sides of the double temple, the falcon god Haroeris and the crocodile god Sobek, who lived during the Ptolemaic dynasty from 180 BC to 47 BC. The entire temple contains fascinating information about the Egyptian calendar and medical innovation from that time period.

Breakfast boxes in the morning, followed by a private air-conditioned car transfer to Abu Simbel, where you will join your private tour guide to discover
Abu Simbel Temples
The legendary Abu Simbel Temple was built in 1264 BC with the sole purpose of immortalising the golden heritage of the great king Pharaoh Ramsess the Great by honouring Amun-Re, Ptah, and Re-Horakhte through the solar sun phenomenon, eternalising his victory at the epic battle of Kadesh in 1274 BC, which resulted in the signing of the first peace treaty, and displaying his love for his beloved wife Nefertari and children.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Overnight: Aswan Hotel
Breakfast at the hotel, then check out and accompany the Egyptologist tour guide to visit the main sights of Aswan, beginning with:
"The High Dam"
During the modern era, in the mid-60s and 70s, the golden Aswan High Dam acquired eternal greatness and was assigned to generate power from flood waters.
The unfinished obelisk.
The Great Unfinished Obelisk was on the path to greatness because it was intended to stand at the Karnak Temple as the largest obelisk in existence, reaching a height of 41.75 meters (137.0 feet) and weighing approximately 2000 African elephants to further immortalize Queen Hatshepsut's legacy (1508 - 1458 BC).
Philae Temple.
The magical Philae temple holds the greatest story ever told about the sacrifice of Isis, the goddess of motherhood, to her husband, the god of the Underworld, across its great walls on Agilkia Island. It was built in the Ptolemaic era between 380-362 BC during the reign of Nectanebo I, and it was renovated and enlarged during the reigns of Ptolemy V Epiphanes, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, and Ptolemy VI Philometor.
