Description
2 Days Trip To Cairo and Abu Simbel from Hurghada by Flight
Day 1 / Wonders of Cairo - Pyramids, Sphinx, and Bazaar
Your Egyptian adventure begins with a scenic morning transfer from your hotel to Hurghada Airport. After a short flight to Cairo, you’ll be greeted by your professional Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout the day to ensure a fascinating journey into Egypt’s ancient past.
Your first stop is the iconic Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most famous of the three pyramids, as well as the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Your guide will explain the architectural marvels and the historical significance of these tombs, which were built for Egypt’s powerful pharaohs over 4,500 years ago.
Next, head to the Great Sphinx of Giza, an enigmatic monument with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh. This symbol of strength, wisdom, and protection is a mesmerizing sight and a highlight of ancient Egyptian architecture. As you stand before the Sphinx, your guide will share the mysteries surrounding its creation and its importance in Egyptian mythology.
After your exploration of the pyramids and the Sphinx, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor dishes like koshari (a mix of rice, lentils, and pasta), molokhia (a savory green soup), and falafel (crispy chickpea fritters), immersing yourself in the flavors of Egypt’s culinary heritage.
In the afternoon, visit the Egyptian Museum, home to over 120,000 artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun—his famous golden mask and other precious objects. Explore the royal mummies and learn about ancient Egyptian burial practices and the fascinating afterlife beliefs that shaped their culture.
To end the day, visit the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, a bustling market where you can shop for unique Egyptian crafts, jewelry, spices, and souvenirs. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of one of the oldest markets in the Middle East.
Finally, return to Cairo Airport for your evening flight to Aswan, where you’ll stay overnight, ready for the next day’s adventure to the magnificent Abu Simbel temples.
Day 2 / Majestic Abu Simbel - Temples of Ramses II and Nefertari
Your second day starts early, with a 4:00 AM departure from your hotel for a scenic drive through the desert towards Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s most iconic sites. The anticipation builds as you approach the colossal temples carved into the mountainside, a breathtaking sight that leaves visitors in awe.
Upon arrival, visit the Temple of Ramses II, an engineering marvel dedicated to the great pharaoh Ramses II. This monumental structure features massive statues of Ramses II, and during the spring and autumn equinoxes, sunlight illuminates the inner sanctuary in alignment with the king’s statues—an extraordinary feat of ancient engineering and astronomy. Stand before the massive statues and feel the power of one of ancient Egypt’s greatest rulers.
Next, visit the Temple of Queen Nefertari, also known as the Temple of Hathor, dedicated to Ramses II’s beloved wife, Nefertari. Admire the detailed carvings and colossal statues that immortalize Nefertari alongside the gods, a rare honor in ancient Egyptian culture. Learn about the remarkable relocation project in the 1960s, which saved these temples from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. This incredible feat of engineering ensured the preservation of these masterpieces.
After exploring the temples, enjoy a peaceful lunch in the serene desert surroundings, reflecting on the grandeur and historical significance of what you’ve experienced.
In the afternoon, board your vehicle for the comfortable return journey to Hurghada, where you’ll reflect on the unforgettable memories of this two-day immersion into Egypt’s ancient history. From the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids to the monumental Abu Simbel Temples, this adventure is sure to stay with you for a lifetime.
