Day-by-day itinerary
Welcome to Egypt! Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, you’ll be greeted by our representative holding a personalized sign. From there, enjoy a smooth, air-conditioned transfer to begin your journey into ancient history.
Your first stop is the legendary Giza Plateau. Stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure—iconic structures that have stood for over 4,500 years. Gaze upon the enigmatic Great Sphinx, guarding these monuments with its lion’s body and human face. Continue to the Valley Temple, where royal rituals and mummification once took place, and take in panoramic views of this awe-inspiring landscape.
Afterward, enjoy a delicious lunch at a quality local restaurant.
Next, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), one of the most anticipated archaeological museums in the world. Designed to showcase Egypt’s ancient wonders, the GEM features thousands of artifacts, including treasures from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms.
Highlights include towering pharaonic statues, dazzling royal jewelry, and everyday items that bring ancient life to light. The museum’s modern design and immersive exhibits offer a unique journey through Egypt’s vast history.
At the end of your day, return comfortably to your hotel in Cairo.

Optional Evening Activity:
Add a magical touch to your night with the Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids. See the Pyramids illuminated under the stars while the story of ancient Egypt unfolds through narration and music—an unforgettable experience.
Start your morning with an early transfer to Cairo Airport for a short domestic flight to Luxor—once the ancient capital of Egypt and now known as the “world’s greatest open-air museum.” Upon arrival, your local guide will welcome you and begin your full-day exploration.
Begin on the West Bank of the Nile, home to the Valley of the Kings. This vast necropolis contains the hidden tombs of New Kingdom pharaohs, adorned with vivid hieroglyphs and sacred scenes that detail their journey to the afterlife. Step inside these remarkable chambers and admire the preservation of color and detail in each tomb.
Next, visit the stunning Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a terraced structure nestled into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Discover the stories of one of Egypt’s most remarkable female rulers through beautifully carved reliefs. Stop by the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have silently stood guard for over 3,400 years.
Cross to the East Bank and explore the monumental Karnak Temple Complex, Egypt’s largest temple site. Walk through the Hypostyle Hall with its forest of colossal columns, and imagine the grandeur of ancient festivals once held in this sacred space. Conclude your tour at Luxor Temple, a magnificent riverside sanctuary connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes. Admire statues of Ramses II, majestic obelisks, and intricate carvings that reveal the city’s religious significance.
After an inspiring day, return to Luxor Airport for your evening flight to Cairo. Upon landing, a private transfer will take you back to your hotel.
