2-Day trip to Cairo & the Grand Egyptian Museum from Luxor from El Quseir
Day 1: Cairo – Grand Egyptian Museum & Pyramids of Giza
Start your journey early with a private transfer from El Quseir to Cairo, a drive of approximately 5-6 hours. Along the way, you will pass through Egypt’s scenic desert landscapes, including views of the Nile River and rural towns.
Upon arrival, your private Egyptologist guide will meet you and take you to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), an incredible modern facility housing over 50,000 artifacts. Highlights include the priceless Tutankhamun collection, featuring the golden mask and royal jewelry, as well as royal mummies from ancient Egypt’s most famous pharaohs. Your guide will provide rich historical insights into the significance of each exhibit.
Enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo. Try traditional dishes such as koshari, falafel, and molokhia. It’s a great way to savor the flavors of Egyptian cuisine, giving you a true taste of the country’s culinary culture.
After lunch, you will head to the Giza Plateau, home to the Pyramids of Giza. Your guide will explain the history behind these ancient marvels, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the tallest of the three pyramids, which was once the tallest structure in the world. Explore the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure and marvel at the Great Sphinx, an imposing statue with the body of a lion and the face of Pharaoh Khafre.
After exploring the Pyramids, you will be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza for a comfortable evening of rest. You may choose to relax at the hotel or take a stroll along the Nile River before the end of your day.
Day 2: Luxor – Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings
On Day 2, you will begin with an early morning transfer to Cairo International Airport for your flight to Luxor, Egypt’s open-air museum. Upon arrival in Luxor, you’ll be greeted by your private guide and driver for the day’s exploration.
The first stop is the Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious complexes in the world, dedicated to the god Amun-Ra. Explore the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall with its towering columns, and view other notable monuments, such as the Sacred Lake and the Obelisk of Hatshepsut. Your guide will walk you through the rich history of the temple and explain the significance of its many structures.
Next, you’ll visit Luxor Temple, which is located on the banks of the Nile River. This temple was dedicated to Amun-Ra and is famous for its Avenue of Sphinxes that once connected it to Karnak Temple. Admire the well-preserved reliefs, statues, and obelisks that decorate the temple and learn about its role in ancient Egyptian rituals.
After visiting the temples, enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor, offering views of the Nile River and a perfect opportunity to unwind. You can try a variety of Egyptian dishes, such as grilled meats, stuffed grape leaves, and basbousa (a sweet semolina cake).
In the afternoon, cross the Nile to Luxor’s West Bank to visit the famous Valley of the Kings, where many of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, were buried. Explore several tombs, each decorated with intricate paintings that depict scenes of the pharaohs’ journey into the afterlife.
Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a unique mortuary temple built into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains. The temple’s stunning terraces are one of the most impressive architectural feats in Egypt.
Finally, visit the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, which have stood for over 3,000 years, and learn about the legends associated with their eerie sounds.
After a full day of exploration, you will be transferred back to El Quseir by private car, reflecting on the incredible historical sites you’ve visited in both Cairo and Luxor.
