Your holiday to Egypt
begins with a direct charter flight to Luxor from Madrid, Barcelona,
Valencia, Bilbao, Malaga, or Seville. From there, you'll enjoy a spectacular
5-day/4-night Nile cruise sailing from Luxor to Aswan, with full board
(excluding drinks). The Egyptian trip continues in Cairo, where 3 nights in a
hotel with breakfast included await you, creating an unforgettable trip that
combines history and comfort.
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.
