This action-packed journey includes private transfers, expert tour guides, and visits to the legendary Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, Luxor’s Valley of the Kings, and much more. Perfect for those looking to explore Egypt’s ancient wonders in comfort and style.

Day 1 / Explore the Pyramids of Giza and National Museum of Egyptian Civilization

Your adventure begins with a private transfer from Soma Bay to Cairo in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you travel through Egypt’s vast desert landscapes, your guide will share insights into Egypt’s history and culture.

 

Upon arrival in Cairo, your personal guide will take you to the Pyramids of Giza, one of the world’s most recognized ancient monuments. Marvel at the three great pyramids—Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus—that served as grand tombs for the Pharaohs.

Your guide will explain the advanced engineering and fascinating history behind these monumental structures, providing a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian architectural genius.

 

Next, head to the Great Sphinx, an awe-inspiring statue with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Chephren. Standing as a sentinel to the pyramids for over 4,500 years, the Sphinx is an iconic symbol of Egypt’s enduring mystery and grandeur.

 

After your visit to the pyramids and Sphinx, you’ll head to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat. This museum houses over 250,000 artifacts, including the Royal Mummy Room, where you can see the mummies of famous pharaohs like Ramses II and Hatshepsut, as well as treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb.

 

The museum offers a comprehensive insight into ancient Egyptian history, culture, and its magnificent achievements.

Enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, featuring dishes like koshari, molokhia, and grilled meats. After a day of exploration, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Cairo for a comfortable overnight stay.

Day 2 / Fly to Luxor – Explore the East and West Banks of Luxor

On your second day, you’ll catch an early morning flight from Cairo to Luxor, the ancient capital of Egypt during the New Kingdom. Upon arrival, your private guide will greet you and begin your exploration of Luxor’s greatest archaeological treasures.

 

Start your Luxor adventure with a visit to the massive Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious sites in Egypt. Dedicated to the god Amun, Karnak is a vast network of temples, pylons, and obelisks. The grand Hypostyle Hall features 134 towering columns, while statues and monuments throughout the complex offer fascinating insights into Egyptian religion and history.

 

Next, head to Luxor Temple, a majestic monument that has stood at the heart of Luxor for centuries. Built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, Luxor Temple is known for its impressive Avenue of Sphinxes, grand entrance pylons, and beautiful courtyards. Your guide will take you through the temple’s history and religious significance.

 

After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, continue your tour by crossing over to the West Bank of Luxor, where some of Egypt’s most iconic tombs and temples are located.

 

On the West Bank of Luxor, visit the famous Valley of the Kings, the burial site of many New Kingdom pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I. Explore the richly decorated tombs, adorned with vivid murals and hieroglyphs that depict the ancient Egyptians’ beliefs in the afterlife. Your guide will share the fascinating history behind these tombs and the treasures once buried with the pharaohs.

 

Next, visit Hatshepsut Temple, a stunning structure built into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains. Known for its unique architecture, this temple features a series of terraces that rise above the surrounding landscape. Dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers, the temple is a marvel of ancient engineering.

 

Conclude your West Bank tour with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Amenhotep III, standing as silent sentinels to his once-grand mortuary temple. These statues are among the most iconic symbols of Luxor.

 

After a full day of exploration, you’ll be transferred back to the airport for your flight from Luxor to Hurghada. Upon arrival, you’ll be driven back to your hotel in Soma Bay, marking the end of your incredible 2-day Egyptian adventure.
