This Egypt trip package begins with a scheduled flight from Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Bilbao, Malaga, and Seville) to Luxor, where you'll board a 5-day/4-night Nile cruise, sailing between Luxor and Aswan on a full-board basis (drinks not included). The Egyptian trip continues to Cairo, where you'll enjoy a 4 day/ 3-night hotel stay with breakfast included, offering an unforgettable experience steeped in history, culture, and comfort.

The Egypt trip with a Nile cruise and Cairo begins in Luxor, where you'll visit the Luxor Temple, a remarkable structure dedicated to the god Amun. Known for its imposing pylons, enormous statues, and the famous Avenue of Sphinxes, the temple showcases the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture. Nearby, you'll explore the Karnak Temple complex, Egypt's largest religious site, also dedicated to Amun. Here, you'll marvel at the enormous Great Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 colossal columns, as well as the tranquil Sacred Lake, central to ancient rituals. The next part of your trip takes you to the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of famous pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, were discovered. You'll also visit the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahari, a stunning architectural feat carved into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains. The tour also includes the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues that have stood the test of time for over 3,000 years, protecting the burial site.

During your Nile cruise, you'll also visit two fascinating temples that will give you a deeper understanding of the spiritual and architectural heritage of ancient Egypt. The Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the god Horus, is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Its imposing pylon-lined entrance and beautifully detailed walls, which tell the story of Horus's victory over the chaos god Set, create a powerful sense of ancient grandeur. The temple's grand inner sanctuary and stunning reliefs offer a fascinating insight into the religious practices of the time. Continuing your tour of Egypt, you'll explore the Temple of Kom Ombo, an unusual double temple dedicated to both Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. This remarkable site features two symmetrical sanctuaries, each with its own set of altars and carvings, which highlight the temple's duality. The Temple of Kom Ombo is also famous for its depictions of ancient tools and medical instruments, which showcase the Egyptians' advanced knowledge of medicine. Here, the two most famous archenemies of Egyptian mythology, Horus and Set, are symbolized in the form of their respective deities. Both temples are not only architectural marvels but also hold great cultural significance and offer a deeper connection to ancient Egyptian beliefs and practices.

In Aswan, you will visit the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Located on a picturesque island in the Nile, the temple is famous not only for its stunning architecture but also for the cats that roam freely around the site. These felines, descendants of the sacred cats that once protected the temple, add a unique charm to the site. Visitors can interact with them, take photos, and even feed them, enjoying their playful presence. The temple itself is also known for its beautifully preserved reliefs depicting ancient Egyptian rituals.

As part of the 8 days / 7 nights Egypt trip, after exploring Aswan, you will board a domestic flight to Cairo, a journey of approximately one hour that offers a fast and comfortable way to connect these two iconic Egyptian cities.

In Cairo, you'll marvel at the legendary Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The imposing Great Pyramid of Cheops will leave you speechless, while the Pyramid of Khafre, renowned for its sheer size, stands majestically alongside the Great Sphinx, the enigmatic statue that has stood the test of time for millennia. You'll also explore the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the group, along with its subsidiary temples and pyramids. You'll also visit the Valley Temple of Khafre, an impressive stone structure used for funerary rituals and the mummification of the pharaoh. Throughout the tour, you'll discover the secrets behind the construction of these wonders, ancient funerary practices, and their impact on Egyptian history and culture.
