This 11-day/10-night Egypt vacation with Hurghada begins with a direct scheduled flight to Aswan from Spanish cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Malaga, and Seville. From there, you'll board a 4-day/3-night Nile cruise along the Nile, sailing from Aswan to Luxor, with full board (excluding drinks).

In Aswan, this fascinating trip to Egypt with Hurghada begins with an exploration of the impressive Philae Temple, an ancient sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis. Located on a charming island in the middle of the Nile River, this temple stands out for its imposing architecture and its great historical value, dating back to the time of the Ptolemies. Its walls are adorned with hieroglyphics and finely preserved reliefs depicting Egyptian myths and religious ceremonies dedicated to the goddess. A charming detail of the site is the presence of cats that roam the temple, affectionately known as her little guardians. Many visitors enjoy interacting with them, taking photos, petting them, or feeding them, which adds a warm and unique touch to this stage of the tour.

After visiting the so-called "Temple of the Cats," you will continue your tour to the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, a double sanctuary dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris. This temple is famous for its perfectly symmetrical design, which reflects the duality between the two deities, and for its carved reliefs depicting mythological scenes and rituals associated with these ancient rivals.

Later, the 11-day/10-night tour of Egypt will take you to the imposing Temple of Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples of ancient Egypt. This monument is dedicated to Horus, the falcon god of the sky, a symbol of protection and authority. As you explore its monumental sandstone walls, you'll discover carvings in excellent condition depicting sacred ceremonies, ancient legends, and everyday aspects of pharaonic civilization. Its monumental entrance, tall decorated pylons, and intricate reliefs make Edfu one of the most impressive stops on a Nile cruise.

Your Nile cruise in Egypt continues in Luxor, where you'll cross to the East Bank of the Nile to explore two of the most iconic sites of Ancient Egypt: the temples of Luxor and Karnak. Luxor Temple impresses with its majestic avenue of sphinxes, its enormous columns, and the imposing statues of pharaohs, reflecting the heyday of the New Kingdom. A short distance away is the grandiose Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex in the country, famous for its colossal pillars, towering obelisks, and ancient sacred lakes. The magnitude of the site and the level of detail in its reliefs reflect the architectural talent and deep religious devotion of the ancient Egyptians.

Then, visit the West Bank of the Nile, home to some of the most important archaeological remains of Ancient Egypt. The visit begins with the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to one of the few women to hold the title of pharaoh, who ruled with intelligence and firmness. This temple, nestled in the cliffs of Deir El-Bahari, is notable for its terraced design and carved reliefs, which narrate momentous events such as her divine birth, her travels to Punt, and the achievements of her reign. The next stop is the famous Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis of the New Kingdom, where figures such as Tutankhamun and Seti I are buried. The tombs, decorated with vivid murals and meticulously engraved hieroglyphics, provide an insight into the symbolism and richness of Egyptian funerary art. The day concludes with a visit to the majestic Colossi of Memnon, two enormous stone statues representing Amenhotep III, which for centuries have stood as imposing witnesses to the grandeur and mystery of ancient Egypt.

After completing your visit to Luxor, you will embark on a road trip to Hurghada, a coastal city on the Red Sea, known for its idyllic beaches, coral reefs, and relaxed atmosphere. During the journey, you will admire the contrast between the fertile Nile Valley and the desert landscapes of the eastern part of the country. Once in Hurghada, you will have the opportunity to relax, enjoy the sea, or participate in water activities such as snorkeling, diving, or boat trips through the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea, completing an experience that combines history, culture, and nature in one unforgettable trip.

After your stay in Hurghada, you'll board a short domestic flight to the vibrant city of Cairo, the cultural epicenter of Egypt and the African continent.

In the largest city in the Middle East, you'll have the opportunity to experience the majestic Pyramids of Giza, the imposing Great Sphinx, and the impressive Valley Temple of Khafre, all included in our Egypt tour package. These iconic structures represent extraordinary achievements of ancient engineering and continue to amaze visitors and experts alike. The Great Sphinx, with its enigmatic face and gaze fixed on the horizon, symbolizes ancient wisdom and stands as the spiritual guardian of the Giza plateau. Just a few steps away, the Valley Temple of Khafre—an essential part of this pharaoh's funerary complex—adds a mystical and solemn touch to the setting. Standing before these colossal monuments is an experience that awakens a deep connection with the grandeur of Pharaonic Egypt.
