Description

2 Days Trip To Cairo and Abu Simbel from Marsa Alam by Flight
Day 1 / Pyramids, Sphinx, and Bazaar

your exciting Egyptian adventure begins with a scenic morning transfer from your hotel to Hurghada Airport. From there, you’ll board a flight to Cairo, where you’ll be met by your professional Egyptologist tour guide. This expert guide will accompany you throughout your day, offering fascinating insights into Egypt’s ancient history and culture.

 

Your first stop is the world-renowned Giza Pyramids, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here, you will have the chance to stand in awe before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three pyramids, which has stood for over 4,500 years. You’ll also explore the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, each an architectural marvel in its own right. As you tour the Giza Plateau, your Egyptologist guide will explain the historical significance and engineering brilliance behind these ancient Egyptian marvels, which were built as royal tombs for the pharaohs of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.

 

A highlight of your Giza visit is the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza, a monumental statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, believed to represent strength, wisdom, and divine protection. The Sphinx is an enduring symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization and continues to captivate visitors with its mystery and grandeur.

 

After your in-depth exploration of the pyramids and the Sphinx, you’ll enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Indulge in a variety of authentic Egyptian dishes, from koshari (a hearty mix of rice, lentils, and pasta), to molokhia (a flavorful green soup), and falafel (crispy chickpea fritters), offering a true taste of Egypt’s culinary heritage.

 

Next, immerse yourself in the ancient world at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, home to over 120,000 artifacts showcasing Egypt’s rich and diverse history. You’ll be captivated by the treasures of Tutankhamun, including his golden mask, jewelry, and a stunning array of statues and objects from his tomb. Explore the mummies of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs and gain a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian burial practices and beliefs surrounding the afterlife.

 

To end your day in Cairo, visit the bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most famous markets in the Middle East. Wander through the narrow alleyways, where you’ll find traditional crafts, aromatic spices, and an assortment of souvenirs. The vibrant atmosphere, combined with the market’s centuries-old history, makes it a truly unique experience.

 

As your incredible day concludes, you will head back to Cairo Airport for your evening flight to Aswan, where you will stay overnight in preparation for your upcoming adventure to the Abu Simbel temples, one of Egypt’s most extraordinary ancient sites.

Day 2 / Abu Simbel - Temples of Ramses II and Nefertari

 wake up before dawn for an early start, meeting your guide at 4:00 AM for a scenic drive through the desert towards the temples of Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s most iconic and awe-inspiring archaeological wonders. As you journey through the desert, you’ll be filled with anticipation for the spectacular sight that awaits.

 

Upon arrival at Abu Simbel, prepare to be captivated by the colossal Temple of Ramses II, a monumental structure carved into the mountainside. This architectural masterpiece, dedicated to the great pharaoh Ramses II, is designed with incredible precision. Twice a year, the sun illuminates its inner sanctuary, aligning with the king’s statues—an astonishing feat of ancient Egyptian engineering and astronomy. As you stand before the massive statues of Ramses II, you’ll feel the power and grandeur of one of ancient Egypt’s most formidable rulers.

 

Next, visit the adjacent Temple of Queen Nefertari, also known as the Temple of Hathor. This temple, dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of love and joy, and Nefertari, Ramses II’s beloved wife, is a beautiful tribute to her beauty and grace. Admire the detailed carvings and colossal statues that immortalize Nefertari alongside the gods, a rare and significant honor in ancient Egyptian culture. These magnificent temples were originally built to honor the gods and immortalize Ramses II and his queen, and you’ll learn about the remarkable relocation project that saved these temples from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. The relocation effort in the 1960s, a stunning engineering achievement, ensured that the temples would remain as a legacy of ancient Egypt’s glory.

 

After exploring these architectural wonders, enjoy a peaceful lunch in the surrounding desert landscape, taking in the serene surroundings and reflecting on the beauty and historical significance of what you’ve just experienced.

 

Following this awe-inspiring morning, board the comfortable vehicle for your return journey to Marsa Alam . As you travel back, take time to reflect on the unforgettable memories and remarkable history of your two-day Egyptian adventure. From the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids to the monumental temples of Abu Simbel, this journey has been a deeply enriching experience that will stay with you forever.
