This historic site consists of three primary pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the iconic Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. Constructed by the ancient Egyptians to connect with their gods and perpetuate their legacy, these impressive structures were built to facilitate ascension to the heavens.
• The Great Pyramid, a remarkable architectural achievement, is one of the most enduring and monumental structures in recorded history. Built under the rule of King Khufu around 2580 BC, this edifice predates modern civilization by over 4500 years. Comprised of a staggering 2,300,000 limestone blocks, this colossal monument rises to an impressive height of 147 meters (481 feet), maintaining its status as the world's tallest structure for an astonishing 3800 years until the construction of the Lincoln Cathedral in 1311. Its magnificent stature and mysterious interior have captivated human imagination, spawning intriguing theories about its construction and purpose.

This ancient wonder takes the form of a mythical being known as the Sphinx, which features 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 source 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.

• After a day of adventure, sightseeing, and exploration in Cairo, you will drive to Cairo Airport. From there, you will catch your flight to Luxor, where you will check into your hotel for a relaxing overnight stay.
• Begin your third day with a delicious and fulfilling breakfast, then embark on an enlightening excursion with our knowledgeable Egyptologist tour guide as we explore the captivating wonders of Luxor. Your journey will commence with a visit to the breathtaking tourist attraction, the Valley of the Kings.
• In the heart of the Theban Necropolis lies the Valley of the Kings, a sprawling underground labyrinth housing 63 rock-cut tombs that served as the final resting places for esteemed nobles and kings of the New Kingdom (1570-1050 BC). These ancient tombs are adorned with awe-inspiring examples of Egyptian art, offering valuable insights into this enduring civilisation's historical, mythological, and religious beliefs.
• The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the "Hatshepsut Temple," is a breathtaking and magnificent attraction that provides a stunning glimpse of outstanding beauty and grandeur. This temple is a testament to the remarkable reign of the revered queen, Hatshepsut (1473–1458 BC), and pays homage to the mighty god Amun. Carved into the sacred stone cliffs of the Deir El Bahari, this temple stands as a majestic symbol of ancient Egyptian architecture and religious devotion.
• The Colossi of Memnon, commissioned by Amenhotep III between 1386 and 1350 BC, were intended to serve as the imposing guardians of Luxor. These awe-inspiring twin statues, towering at 18 meters (60 feet) and weighing 720 tons each, are crafted in the likeness of the Pharaoh himself. Although they suffered damage from a severe earthquake in 27 BC, they were restored in 199 AD. The colossi gained widespread fame during the Greco-Roman period due to an intriguing phenomenon known as the "Vocal Memnon," where the statues would emit a melodic sound at dawn, believed to be caused by the wind passing through the stone.
• It's lunchtime! Now is the perfect moment to take a break and enjoy a delicious meal before continuing your exploration of Luxor. Afterwards, you can delve into the rich history of the Karnak Temple, one of Egypt's most popular attractions. This awe-inspiring archaeological site served as a religious hub in the ancient city of Thebes.

• Savour an unforgettable overnight experience in Luxor.
• After enjoying a delicious breakfast, you will depart from the hotel in Luxor to embark on the next leg of your adventure, continuing the Cairo, Luxor, Aswan & Abu Simbel tour by boarding a 1st class train to Aswan. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your private Egyptologist tour guide, who will accompany you on a captivating tour of Aswan's renowned attractions. 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 can 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 arriving in Aswan, you will check in at the hotel where you will spend the night.

• 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.
