Your unforgettable 2-day adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Hurghada, followed by a private transfer to Cairo. The 5-6 hour scenic drive will offer glimpses of Egypt’s desert landscapes and rural beauty, leading you to the bustling capital city, Cairo.
Upon arrival in Cairo, meet your expert private Egyptologist guide, who will be with you throughout the tour to share fascinating stories of Egypt’s ancient history and culture. Your first stop will be the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the largest archaeological museum in the world, home to over 50,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts. Discover the famous Treasures of Tutankhamun, including his golden death mask, as well as royal mummies and monumental statues. Learn about the world’s most famous pharaohs and their journeys through ancient Egypt.
After exploring the museum’s extensive collection, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor delicious Egyptian dishes such as koshari (a hearty rice and lentil dish), falafel, and molokhia (a flavorful green soup). Your lunch provides a chance to relax and experience Egypt’s vibrant culinary culture.
In the afternoon, continue your journey to the Pyramids of Giza, one of the most iconic ancient wonders in the world. See the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most famous pyramid, which was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years. Your guide will explain the fascinating history and purpose of the pyramids, as well as the construction techniques used by the ancient Egyptians.
Next, visit the Pyramid of Khafre, which stands next to the Great Pyramid and is known for its limestone casing at the top. Also, explore the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three pyramids but still an architectural marvel.
The last stop at the pyramids is the Great Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, believed to represent Khafre. The Sphinx has captivated travelers for centuries and continues to stand guard over the pyramids.
End your day with a visit to Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s famous market. This vibrant souk has been a trading hub for centuries, selling everything from spices and jewelry to textiles and souvenirs. Take your time to browse the stalls and immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Cairo.
After an action-packed day, you will be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza to relax and unwind for the night.
After a delicious breakfast at your Cairo hotel, enjoy a private transfer to Cairo International Airport for your flight to Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes, often referred to as the world’s greatest open-air museum. Upon arrival in Luxor, meet your private guide, and start your exploration of this extraordinary city.
Your first stop will be the Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest and most impressive religious sites in the world. This vast temple is dedicated to the god Amun-Ra and contains towering columns, grand halls, and massive statues. Walk through the Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 columns reaching 21 meters tall. Other highlights at Karnak include the Sacred Lake, the Obelisk of Hatshepsut, and the Temple of Amun-Ra.
Next, visit the Luxor Temple, located along the banks of the Nile River. This temple is known for its Avenue of Sphinxes, which once connected it to Karnak, and its towering obelisk, still standing at the entrance. Inside, discover beautifully preserved statues, reliefs, and intricate carvings that tell the story of ancient Egyptian religion and the rulers who commissioned the temple.
After a busy morning of exploration, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Nile River, where you can sample more delicious Egyptian specialties.
In the afternoon, cross the Nile to Luxor’s West Bank, home to some of Egypt’s most famous tombs. Start at the Valley of the Kings, the burial site of many powerful pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, whose tomb was discovered by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. Explore the tombs of these ancient rulers, adorned with vivid murals and carvings depicting their journey to the afterlife.
Continue to the Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to one of Egypt’s most successful female pharaohs. The temple is built into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains and is famous for its terraced design and stunning colonnades. Learn about Hatshepsut’s reign and her remarkable achievements as a ruler.
Your final stop on Luxor’s West Bank is the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues of Amenhotep III, which have stood for over 3,000 years. These massive statues were originally part of a temple complex and are famous for their mysterious sound, which the ancient Egyptians believed to be the voice of the statues.
After an unforgettable day of exploring Luxor’s ancient treasures, you will be transferred back to Hurghada by private car, where your 2-day journey comes to a close. This enriching experience will leave you with lasting memories of Egypt’s awe-inspiring history, culture, and monuments.
