This Egypt trip with a Nile cruise, Abu Simbel, and Cairo begins in Luxor, where you'll 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 stands as a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture. 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 colossal columns, as well as the serene Sacred Lake, which played a pivotal role in sacred rituals. The Egypt tour continues with an exploration of the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, have been unearthed. You'll also visit the stunning 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 colossal statues that have stood for over 3,000 years as silent sentinels over this ancient burial ground.

As you continue your journey along the Nile, you'll also have the opportunity to explore two other remarkable temples. The Temple of Edfu, one of Egypt's most complete and best-preserved temples, is dedicated to Horus, the god of the sky. This grand structure is famous for its imposing pylon-lined entrance and beautifully detailed reliefs, which narrate the legendary battle between Horus and his enemy Set. The temple's serene atmosphere and imposing architecture offer a truly immersive experience in the religious life of ancient Egypt. Further along the Nile, the Temple of Kom Ombo awaits, a unique double temple dedicated to both the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon-headed god Horus. This fascinating temple complex features two mirrored halls, shrines, and altars, with detailed carvings depicting the powers of both deities. Kom Ombo is also famous for its well-preserved hieroglyphics of ancient surgical tools, reflecting the advanced medical knowledge of the time. These temples add a rich layer to your trip, revealing more of Egypt's fascinating mythology and culture.

Additionally, with this Egypt trip package, you'll have the opportunity to visit the stunning Philae Temple in Aswan, an ancient monument dedicated to the goddess Isis. Located on an island in the Nile, the temple is famous for its remarkable architecture and deep historical significance, dating back to the Ptolemaic era. The site features intricate hieroglyphics and beautifully preserved reliefs depicting the mythology and rituals linked to Isis. Additionally, a trip to the Abu Simbel Temples, located further south, offers the opportunity to marvel at the massive rock-cut structures built by Pharaoh Ramses II. These imposing temples are renowned for their grand scale and detailed carvings, which depict scenes of Ramses' military victories and religious devotion. Together, these sites offer a unique insight into Egypt's ancient history and culture.

After exploring the sights of Aswan, you'll take a short domestic flight to Cairo, which usually takes about an hour. This quick and comfortable trip allows you to travel efficiently between Egypt's two iconic cities.

Your Cairo adventure will take you to the world-famous Pyramids of Giza, a testament to Ancient Egyptian engineering genius and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, capping this unforgettable 8-day/7-night tour of Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Cheops, the largest and most iconic, originally stood 146 meters and was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years. Next, you'll explore the slightly smaller but still imposing Pyramid of Khafre, famous for its shape and the remains of the original limestone cap at its summit. Next door, you'll visit the Valley Temple of Khafre, an impressive structure used for the pharaoh's funerary rituals and a prime example of ancient Egyptian monumental architecture. Nearby, the Great Sphinx of Giza, a monumental lion with a human head, stands as a symbol of royal power and mystery. The Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three, is surrounded by subsidiary pyramids and mortuary temples, allowing you to better understand ancient Egyptian funerary practices. As you uncover the secrets of its construction—from advanced engineering techniques to the religious rituals that accompanied royal burials—you'll gain deeper insight into the enduring legacy of these ancient structures.
