• The Giza Pyramids Complex, located on the Giza Plateau, has a rich history dating back over 4000 years. This historic site consists of three main pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the iconic Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. These awe-inspiring structures were built to facilitate the ascension to the heavens, as the ancient Egyptians believed in connecting with their gods and preserving their legacy for eternity.
• The Great Pyramid, an architectural marvel of ancient Egypt, is one of recorded history's most enduring and monumental structures. Commissioned by King Khufu and completed around 2580 BC, this edifice predates modern civilisation by over 4500 years. Crafted from an astounding 2,300,000 pieces of limestone, this colossal monument rises to a staggering height of 147 meters (481 feet), reigning as the world's tallest structure for an astonishing 3800 years until the construction of the Lincoln Cathedral in 1311. Its awe-inspiring stature and mysterious interior have captivated the human imagination, giving rise to intriguing and enigmatic theories surrounding its construction and purpose.
• The Great Sphinx, standing at a towering height of 73 meters (240 feet) and a length of 19 meters (66 feet), is a captivating and enigmatic statue. This ancient wonder takes the form of a mythical being known as the Sphinx, featuring the body of a majestic lion and the head of a wise and powerful man, believed to represent King Khafre. The Great Sphinx has served as a profound wellspring of fascination and inspiration for countless wanderers, writers, and voyagers throughout history, and its allure persists today amidst the lingering veil of mystery cloaking its existence.
• The Valley Temple is a remarkable site where the ancient and fascinating mummification process occurred during the Old Kingdom of Egypt. This well-preserved structure, constructed entirely from limestone and granite, is a testament to the ancient Egyptian civilisation's advanced architectural and engineering skills. The temple also boasts stunning diorite statues of Chephren, adding an extra layer of magnificence to this historical site.
• Behold the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum, a dazzling gateway to the wondrous world of ancient Egypt. This awe-inspiring monument houses an unrivalled collection of celestial creations, meticulously crafted over 5000 years of continuous innovation and boundless artistic vision.

• Before your flight to Aswan from Cairo Airport, kickstart your day with a delicious and energizing breakfast. Once in Aswan, prepare for a fantastic day of exploring and sightseeing.
• Your exploration will include visits to iconic landmarks such as the awe-inspiring High Dam.
• The High Dam stands as a testament to the modern engineering prowess of the city of Aswan. Constructed between 1960 and 1970 during the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser, this monumental structure was a collaborative effort with the Moscow-based Hydro Project Institute. Its purpose was to gain better control over the Nile's annual flooding, harness hydroelectric power, and significantly increase water storage for agricultural irrigation in the vast reservoir, Lake Nasser.
• The Unfinished Obelisk is a remarkable tale of ambitious construction that regrettably never reached its completion. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) to adorn the entrance of the Karnak temple, it bore the name "Tekhenu," signifying "to pierce the sky." This monumental structure provides insight into ancient Egypt's meticulous process of crafting obelisks. Astonishingly, it was intended to reach a towering height of 42 meters and weighed a staggering 1200 tons.
• Tragically, the obelisk suffered a significant crack during its construction, which forced it to remain unfinished at its original site until today.
• You will savour a delicious meal at a charming local restaurant in Aswan during lunchtime. Following this delightful experience, you'll embark on a fascinating journey to visit the Philae Temple. Nestled in the heart of Aswan, Philae Temple is steeped in myth, allure, and charm. One of its most famous legends is the "Myth of Osiris," which tells the story of Osiris, the husband of Isis, who his brother murdered Set out of pure envy and hatred. However, Osiris is later resurrected to become the ruler of the underworld. Set is eventually defeated by Isis and Osiris' son, Horus, the sky god, marking the end of an era of injustice and tyranny. In the 1960s, the temple was relocated to the island of Agilkia as part of a UNESCO-led rescue mission following the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
• After a delightful day of discovering the enchanting sights and wonders of the captivating city of Aswan, you will be gracefully escorted back to your hotel to unwind and relax for the night.
• On the fourth day of your itinerary, prepare for an incredible adventure as you tour the majestic Two Temples of Abu Simbel.

Don't worry about breakfast - you'll be provided with delicious breakfast boxes for the journey. Your knowledgeable private tour guide will accompany you on this unforgettable trip.
• The impressive Abu Simbel temple, constructed by King Ramses II between 1264 BC and 1244 BC, is a remarkable masterpiece withstood time. This golden temple, also known as the Temple of Ramesses, beloved by Amun, is a testament to the grandeur and wonder of ancient Egyptian architecture. It was built to commemorate King Ramses II's victory in the Kadesh battle, honour his beloved wife Nefertari, and pay homage to the deities Amun-Ra, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah. The temple's grandeur and the rich history it embodies make it a truly awe-inspiring sight.
