Egypt Low Cost
Description
This exclusive 8-day holiday offers an extraordinary journey through Egypt, departing from Spain and immersing you in the country’s most iconic historical sites. Your adventure begins with a charter flight to Luxor, where you'll visit the magnificent Luxor Temple, a striking example of ancient Egyptian architecture dedicated to the god Amun. This vast temple complex is known for its majestic statues, pylons, and the famous Avenue of Sphinxes that once connected it to the Karnak Temple. A short distance away lies Karnak Temples, the largest religious building ever constructed. This monumental temple complex, dedicated primarily to the god Amun, is a wonder of ancient Egypt. Its Great Hypostyle Hall, with 134 massive columns, is an awe-inspiring sight, and the Sacred Lake adds to the serene beauty of the site.
After exploring Luxor, you will take a domestic flight from Aswan to Cairo to continue your journey. The flight typically takes about 1 hour, offering a convenient and efficient way to travel between these two iconic destinations in Egypt.
Your journey continues in Cairo by visiting the iconic Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here, you'll marvel at the Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the largest of the three pyramids and a true engineering marvel. The Pyramid of Khafre, known for its imposing size and the still-preserved Great Sphinx of Giza that stands guard nearby, adds to the grandeur of this historic site. Finally, explore the Pyramid of Menkaure (Micirenos), the smallest of the three but equally impressive, along with its surrounding temples and smaller pyramids. The trip ends with a return flight to Spain from Cairo.
This journey through Egypt offers an unforgettable opportunity to explore some of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the world, taking you back in time to the era of pharaohs and ancient gods, all at an affordable price.
