Your all-inclusive Egypt trip with a Nile cruise and Cairo begins with a direct charter flight from Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Malaga, and Seville) to the charming city of Aswan. From there, you'll embark on a spectacular 4-day/3-night cruise along the majestic Nile River, sailing from Aswan to Luxor with full board (excluding drinks). Aboard this Nile boat, you'll marvel at the impressive constructions of the ancient Egyptian civilization, where architectural grandeur and natural beauty intertwine in an unforgettable setting. The second part of the trip will take you to Cairo, where you'll enjoy a 5-day/4-night hotel stay with breakfast included. From this vibrant metropolis, you'll have the opportunity to explore the great treasures of ancient Egypt, ensuring an enriching experience full of history, culture, and adventure.
First, your tour of Egypt begins with a visit to the imposing Abu Simbel Temples, carved into the cliffs by Pharaoh Ramses II. These massive structures, including the Great Temple dedicated to Ramses himself and the smaller Temple of Hathor, dedicated to his queen Nefertari, showcase the grandeur of ancient Egypt. The temples were relocated in the 1960s to save them from flooding, making this UNESCO World Heritage Site even more extraordinary.
Next, you'll return to Aswan to explore the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Located on a peaceful island in the Nile, the temple complex is famous for its elegant architecture and intricate carvings depicting the myths of Isis. Be sure to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, which are often complemented by the playful presence of the local cats who guard the temple for years.
Continue your journey to Kom Ombo, where the unique dual temple honors two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. The temple's symmetry, grand columns, and detailed carvings offer insight into the spiritual beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. Nearby, the Crocodile Museum provides additional context on the importance of these creatures in Egyptian mythology.
The next stop is the Temple of Edfu, one of the best-preserved ancient temples, dedicated to Horus. Known for its imposing pylons and detailed reliefs, the temple brings to life the rituals and beliefs of ancient Egyptian religion. If you continue along the Nile, you'll reach Luxor, home to the Karnak and Luxor Temples. Karnak, the largest religious site in Egypt, is a monumental complex filled with towering columns and colossal statues. The nearby Luxor Temple is famous for its magnificent statues and avenue of sphinxes.
Cross to Luxor's West Bank, where the stunning Temple of Hatshepsut awaits. This temple, carved into the cliffs of Deir El-Bahari, honors one of Egypt's most powerful female pharaohs. The reliefs here tell the story of her reign and divine birth. From there, head to the Valley of the Kings, the burial ground for many pharaohs, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun. The tombs, adorned with vibrant murals, offer a fascinating look into ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife. Don't miss the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues that have stood watch over the valley for centuries.
After enjoying the Nile cruise with Abu Simbel in Upper Egypt, take a short flight to Cairo, where you will continue your vacation in Egypt in full.
In Cairo, start with a visit to the Pyramids of Giza, one of the world's most iconic monuments. The Pyramid of Cheops, the largest of the three, dominates the site, while the Pyramid of Khafre offers breathtaking views from its summit. Explore the Pyramid of Menkaure and discover the secrets of ancient Egyptian funerary practices. The Great Sphinx, with its mysterious gaze, adds to the allure of this incredible site. Next, visit the Valley Temple of Khafre, an impressive mortuary temple believed to have been used in purification rituals before burial. Its massive, well-preserved architecture offers a fascinating insight into ancient Egyptian history and culture.
Next, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a modern marvel that houses one of the world's most extensive collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. The museum's highlight is its extensive collection of King Tutankhamun's tomb, along with many other priceless relics. After the visit, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant.
End the day by enjoying Cairo's nightlife with dinner at a local restaurant, sampling traditional Egyptian dishes. Then, we'll explore the Khan el-Khalili Grand Bazaar, where we'll relax with mint tea in a traditional café, soaking up Cairo's vibrant atmosphere.
The next day, immerse yourself in Cairo's rich history with a visit to the Egyptian Museum, home to the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world. Next, head to the Cairo Citadel, an imposing fortress offering panoramic views of the city. Within the citadel, explore the Alabaster Mosque, a stunning example of Islamic architecture built by Mohamed Ali. Next, discover the Coptic Quarter, where you can visit ancient Christian monuments such as the Hanging Church, the Church of Abu Serga, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue.
