2 Days Trip To the Grand Egyptian Museum and Luxor from El Gouna
Day 1 / Grand Egyptian Museum & Pyramids of Giza
Start your journey with a private transfer from your hotel in El Gouna to Cairo, where your expert private guide will be waiting to take you on an unforgettable exploration of Egypt’s most iconic sites.
Begin your day with a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum—one of the largest and most significant museums in the world. Located near the Pyramids of Giza, this modern museum houses over 50,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the Treasures of Tutankhamun. Marvel at the golden mask of the young pharaoh and other royal relics while learning about the ancient Egyptian civilization. Your Egyptologist guide will explain the cultural significance of each artifact.
Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo. Indulge in dishes such as koshari (lentils, rice, pasta, and chickpeas), falafel, stuffed grape leaves, and more. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and experience the local culinary delights.
In the afternoon, head to the Giza Plateau to explore the Pyramids of Giza. These monumental structures, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, have stood the test of time for over 4,500 years. Your guide will share the history and mysteries surrounding these wonders, including the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
You’ll also visit the Great Sphinx, a colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh. It’s a breathtaking sight and an iconic symbol of Egypt’s strength and wisdom.
After an exciting day of exploration, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza for an overnight stay. Relax and reflect on the amazing sites you’ve experienced, with the evening free to enjoy Cairo’s vibrant atmosphere.
Day 2 / Fly to Luxor – Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple & Valley of the Kings
After breakfast, enjoy a private transfer to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor—the ancient city of Thebes and a true open-air museum.
Start your Luxor adventure with a visit to the Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious complexes in the world. Dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, this vast temple has been built and expanded over 2,000 years. Explore the grand Hypostyle Hall, which features 134 massive columns and offers a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Egyptian religious life.
Next, head to Luxor Temple, located on the banks of the Nile. Famous for its impressive Avenue of Sphinxes, the temple is home to beautiful reliefs and statues of pharaohs and gods. It also holds significant historical importance as a site for the Opet Festival, an ancient Egyptian religious celebration.
After a morning of exploration, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor, overlooking the Nile. This is an opportunity to taste more traditional Egyptian dishes and take in the peaceful atmosphere.
In the afternoon, cross the Nile to the West Bank and visit the Valley of the Kings, the burial place of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs.
Explore the intricately decorated tombs of famous rulers, including Tutankhamun, and learn about the ancient Egyptian afterlife beliefs and burial practices.
Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a stunning mortuary temple dedicated to one of Egypt’s most powerful female pharaohs. The temple’s terraced design blends harmoniously with the surrounding cliffs, making it an architectural masterpiece.
Your final stop of the day is the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These statues have stood for over 3,000 years, guarding the entrance to the temple that once stood nearby.
After a full day of exploring Luxor, you’ll be transferred back to El Gouna in your private car, reflecting on the ancient wonders you’ve experienced. The trip offers a unique blend of ancient Egyptian culture, history, and stunning monuments, leaving you with unforgettable memories.
