The Egyptian journey begins with a charter flight from Spain, departing from Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Bilbao, Malaga, and Seville, bound for Luxor. From there, you'll embark on a majestic 5-day/4-night Nile cruise, sailing between Luxor and Aswan with full board (excluding drinks). To complete this adventure, you'll spend 4 days/3 nights in Cairo in a comfortable hotel with breakfast included, where you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the grandeur of the Egyptian capital and its impressive monuments.

During your Egypt journey, you'll enjoy a boat trip on the Nile and visit Luxor Temple, an extraordinary monument dedicated to the god Amun. Famous for its towering pylons, grand statues, and the iconic Avenue of Sphinxes, the temple is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian design. Nearby is the Karnak Temple complex, the largest of its kind in Egypt, also dedicated to Amun. This vast site features the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall, home to 134 massive columns, as well as the tranquil Sacred Lake, which played a central role in sacred rituals. Your Egypt tour with a Nile cruise and Cairo continues by exploring the Valley of the Kings, where tombs of pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, have been discovered. You'll also visit the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahari, an architectural marvel carved into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains. You'll also see the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues that have stood for over 3,000 years as silent sentinels over this ancient burial ground. Throughout this journey, you'll not only witness Egypt's most famous monuments but also experience its rich cultural heritage, while delving into the stories and legends that have shaped one of the world's oldest civilizations.

Along your 8-day / 7-night Egypt trip, you will visit two of the most extraordinary temples along the banks of the Nile. The Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus, is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Its imposing entrance and stunning hypostyle hall will transport you back to the time of the Ptolemies, displaying exquisite carvings and reliefs that tell the mythological story of Horus's battle against the forces of chaos. Further south, you will visit the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, located on the banks of the Nile, dedicated to both the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus. This unusual double temple features two symmetrical entrances, sanctuaries, and courtyards, with intricate carvings depicting ancient medical instruments, offering a fascinating insight into the advanced knowledge of the ancient Egyptians. Both temples provide a deeper understanding of Egypt's religious practices and the importance of the gods in everyday life.

In Aswan, during your cruise through Egypt, you'll explore the stunning Philae Temple, an ancient structure dedicated to the goddess Isis. Located on an island in the Nile River, the temple is famous for its stunning architectural design and rich history, dating back to the Ptolemaic period. The temple complex features intricate hieroglyphics and beautifully preserved reliefs depicting the mythology and rituals associated with Isis.

After exploring Aswan, you will board a domestic flight to Cairo, which usually takes around 1 hour, providing a quick and convenient way to travel between these two famous Egyptian cities.

Your Egyptian vacation continues in Cairo with a visit to the legendary Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here, you'll be amazed by the Pyramid of Cheops (also known as Khufu), the largest of the three and a remarkable feat of ancient engineering. Next, explore the Pyramid of Khafre, famous for its sheer size, and the nearby Great Sphinx of Giza, a monumental stone statue that has stood the test of time. You'll also visit the Valley Temple of Khafre, an impressive funerary complex that played a key role in the mummification rituals and religious ceremonies of Pharaoh Khafre. Don't miss the Pyramid of Menkaure (also called Mycerinus), the smallest of the trio, but still an impressive structure, accompanied by its associated temples and smaller satellite pyramids. The trip concludes with a return flight to Spain from Cairo.
