Cairo – Pyramids, Sphinx, Museum, and Bazaar

Your incredible Egyptian journey begins with a morning transfer from your hotel in Soma Bay to Hurghada Airport. After a short flight to Cairo, you’ll be greeted by your professional Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout your day, providing fascinating insights into Egypt’s ancient wonders.

Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest pyramid in Egypt, along with the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Your guide will explain the historical significance of these monumental structures, which served as tombs for the pharaohs and are masterpieces of ancient Egyptian engineering.

Next, visit the Great Sphinx, a majestic limestone statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh. This enigmatic monument, standing guard at the Giza Plateau, is one of the most recognizable symbols of Egypt. Your guide will delve into the mysteries surrounding the Sphinx’s origins, its symbolic significance, and the myths tied to this ancient wonder.

After exploring the pyramids and Sphinx, indulge in a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor popular dishes like koshari (a mix of rice, lentils, and pasta), molokhia (a savory soup made from jute leaves), and falafel (crispy chickpea fritters), providing a taste of Egyptian cuisine.

In the afternoon, visit the world-famous Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. Home to over 120,000 artifacts, including the magnificent treasures of Tutankhamun, such as his famous golden mask and other priceless objects, the museum offers an incredible look into Egypt’s royal history and burial practices. Explore the royal mummies, ancient artifacts, and the wealth of knowledge about Egyptian mythology.

End your day with a visit to Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most vibrant markets in the Middle East. Wander through narrow alleys filled with handcrafted jewelry, spices, textiles, and souvenirs. Take in the lively atmosphere and shop for unique Egyptian crafts as a memento of your Egyptian adventure.

After exploring the heart of Cairo, transfer to Cairo Airport for your evening flight to Aswan, where you’ll stay overnight, preparing for the next day’s exploration of the Abu Simbel Temples.

Abu Simbel – Temples of Ramses II and Nefertari

On Day 2, your adventure begins early with a 4:00 AM departure from your hotel for the scenic drive through the desert to Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s most iconic and awe-inspiring sites. The Abu Simbel temples, carved into the mountainside, will leave you speechless as you approach their colossal statues and intricate carvings.

Start your exploration with the Temple of Ramses II, dedicated to one of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs. This monumental structure is renowned for its colossal statues of Ramses II, each towering at about 20 meters in height. Learn about the incredible feat of engineering that aligns the sun’s rays with the pharaoh’s statues during the spring and autumn equinoxes, illuminating the inner sanctum of the temple. This alignment of natural and architectural elements is one of the many remarkable features of ancient Egyptian engineering.

Next, visit the Temple of Queen Nefertari, also known as the Temple of Hathor. This beautiful temple, dedicated to Ramses II’s beloved wife, Queen Nefertari, features detailed carvings and colossal statues that immortalize the queen alongside the gods. The temple’s beauty and significance are magnified by its rare honor—few queens were granted such monumental tributes in ancient Egypt. Discover the fascinating history behind the relocation of these temples in the 1960s to prevent them from being submerged by the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

After visiting the temples, enjoy a relaxing lunch in the serene desert surroundings. Reflect on the grandeur and historical significance of what you’ve just witnessed—two of Egypt’s most extraordinary archaeological treasures.

In the afternoon, board your private vehicle for the comfortable return journey to Soma Bay, where you will arrive in the evening, reflecting on the unforgettable memories of your two-day adventure. From the ancient Giza Pyramids to the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples, this journey through Egypt’s ancient history will leave you with lasting memories.
