Tour Itinerary

16 Days of the 16 Days Standard Historical Egypt Tour

You will be driven to your five-star hotel from the airport in a private A/C vehicle for check-in. As a start for your 16 days Egypt Tour, we will pick you up from your hotel in the evening for a dinner cruise, after which you will be taken back to your accommodation for the night. The belly dance act will include the iconic Tannoura spin in line with the tradition of Egypt’s whirling dervishes.

Day 2: a trip to the Pyramids: Start your 15-day Egypt vacation after breakfast by traveling with your tour guide to some of the main Cairo tourist spots, such as:

Giza Pyramids Complex

Six smaller pyramids, the large sphinx, the Valley Temple, and three major pyramids are all part of the Giza Pyramids complex. The structure is 2400 years old, from the 4th dynasty.

The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid is “King Khufu’s” property. The only preserved pyramid among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it is the oldest and biggest of the three pyramids on the Giza plateau. The Great Pyramid is 147 meters high, was erected over 20 years, and 2,300,000 stones were utilized in its construction.

The Great Sphinx

King Chephren, the biggest statue in the world at 73 meters long, 19 meters broad, and 20 meters tall, is the owner of the huge sphinx. The monument has the earliest known sculpture in it.

The Valley Temple

The only one still standing on the Giza plateau is an ancient Egyptian mummification temple made of granite.

After eating at the restaurant with a view of the Pyramids or the Nile, continue your day trip by going to:

Step Pyramid of Saqqara

It was built during the time of King Djoser, who governed Egypt in the 27th century B.C. and is regarded as the oldest significant example of cut stone architecture. The step pyramid is made up of 6 steps that are stacked one on top of the other and are 62 meters tall.

City of Memphis

King Menes established the first recognized capital in all of Egypt, which was strategically located between Upper and Lower Egypt. Ptah, the creator deity and guardian of art, was said to be watching over Memphis.

Finally, we return you to your hotel where you will spend the night.

Day 3: Visit the landmarks of Alexandria: After breakfast in the morning, take a private trip with an Egyptologist to Alexandria, where you’ll see:

The Catacombs

a Roman cemetery where a family tomb exhibits the fusion of Roman and Egyptian design. To see the tomb and Caracalla Hall, go underneath.

Return to the surface and continue your visit:

Pompey’s Pillar

a 25-meter-tall (82-foot) granite column erected as a monument to Emperor Diocletian, who liberated the besieged city and provided food for its hungry citizens.

Citadel of Qaitbay

The High Dam

It was erected at Aswan, Egypt, over the Nile River, between 1960 and 1970. It significantly affects Egypt’s economy and culture.

The Unfinished Obelisk

the biggest obelisk from antiquity. It was carried to the Lateran Palace in Rome after being ordered by Hatshepsut (1508 1458 BC) to accompany the Lateran Obelisk (which was originally at Karnak).

Temple of Philae

Goddess Isis of Love and Beauty is honored in the Philae Temple. As part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign initiative, the temple complex was disassembled and moved to the adjacent island of Agilkia Island to safeguard it and other sites before the Aswan High Dam was finished in 1970.

Spend your lunch and supper on the boat after checking in at the 5* Nile cruise after the day. On the cruise ship for the night.

Day 5: Visit the Temple of Abu Simbel: Get your breakfast boxes in the morning, then meet your private tour guide to visit:

Abu Simbel Temples

The two temples of Abu Simbel are regarded as the pinnacles of ancient Egypt because of their distinctive architecture. Both of the Temples were erected during the time of King Ramses II about 1200 B.C., and both are rock-cut constructions. King Ramses II is honored in one temple, while his loving wife Queen Nefertari is honored in another. Both temples are beautifully decorated with sculptures and artwork. This temple is a must-see since it has hand-carved pillars, wall paintings, sculptures, statues, and much more (This is an optional Trip and not included in the price)

After lunch, return to your ship and keep cruising. A night on the boat.

Day 6: Explore the Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples: After breakfast, board a ship for Kom Ombo and meet your tour guide to visit:

Temple of Luxor

The most significant event, the festival of Opet, was centered on the Temple of Luxor. The temple was constructed primarily by Amenhotep III and King Ramses II to serve as a location for the festival’s rites. The purpose of the event was to bring the ruler’s divine and human halves closer together. Return to your hotel in Luxor and spend the night there.

Day 8: Visit the West Bank of Luxor: After breakfast at your hotel, your tour guide will accompany you in a private air-conditioned car to the most notable sites on the west bank of Luxor, including:

The Kings’ Valley

It is the location of the tombs of Egypt’s kings from the 18th to the 20th dynasties, notably those of the great pharaoh Ramses II and the young pharaoh Tutankhamun. The tombs were fully furnished with everything a monarch may want in the afterlife in terms of material things. The majority of the interior decorations are still in good condition.

Temple of Hatshepsut

It is among the most exquisite and well-preserved of all Egyptian temples. Three floors of the Hatshepsut Temple were constructed, and two large ramps in the middle connected them.

Memnon’s Colossi

Only two enormous stone sculptures of King Amenhotep III survive in a funerary temple that was once completely constructed. Blocks of quartzite sandstone from Cairo were used to create the sculptures, which were then transported 700 kilometers to Luxor.

In Cairo, lunch will be provided in a neighborhood eatery before visiting:

Citadel of Salah El Din

Mosque of Mohamed Ali

The mosque was built between 1830 and 1848 and was known as “The Alabaster Mosque” because the majority of its walls were composed of flawless alabaster. The Muhammad Ali Mosque is an exact duplicate of Istanbul’s Blue Mosque.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is the only place where you can fully explore a variety of extraordinary and rare artifacts from Egypt’s long and varied history, which spans more than 5000 years and includes periods from prehistory to ancient Egypt, Greco-Roman, Coptic, and Islamic, as well as contemporary modern times.

Market in Khan El Khalili

Without seeing the Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, the oldest and most renowned in the Middle East, no trip to Cairo would be complete. It was built around 970 AD, the same year Cairo was established.

What People Say About Us
5/5

Thank you Egypt Fun Tours for a most memorable trip. I admit I didn’t do any of the planning (it was all done by my boyfriend) but as you can read in the reviews below Hani (the owner of Egypt Fun Tours) is superbly organized and accommodating with scheduling.

My boyfriend and I, and our dearest mutual friend, booked the 7Days-6Nights tour. In short time, we visited Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor sailing down the down the Nile, pit stopping to see key sites at these location – and so much more!!! We got to know the ancient and modern egypt in depth thanks to Hani’s impressive knowledge. He also enlightened us on the people and their beliefs and went as far as showing us what a typical life looks like. I cannot express the level of personalized service Hani offered us. He was flexible to adapt to our requirements and added sites to our schedule that was not part of the tour simply to ensure we were 100% satisfied with our experience in Egypt.

I went to Egypt practically blind-folded, not knowing what to expect, especially considering the time we had decided to go (December 2020 – we were the first group that Hani met with after months of having to put his tour agency on hold considering the pandemic) yet he managed to surpass all of our expectations. I felt so incredibly lucky for us to have stumbled on Hani. I would recommend Egypt Fun Tours to anyone and everyone. It was truly, HANDS DOWN, the best cultural experience I’ve ever had. You’ll be in the best of hands.

Nille cruise,Luxor and Aswan where amazing sites to see, specially when you have with you the best tour guide in Egypt .Hamada was absolutely fantastic, lots of information and some of them not spoken by others. This guy was not only a simple tour guide for us, he became a good friend also. Was a one in lifetime experience. Highly recommend Fun Tours. Really a great experience.

Hamada was incredible! So knowledgeable and kind. He had information about every item, street corner, and relic we looked at. Any questions we had, he had answers! He even made sure to give us tips while walking through the crowds so that’s we would feel more comfortable when being approached by vendors. Oh and the food?! He took us to the best places! Delicious food!! We tried Egyptian fried chicken, falafel for the first time, the best shawarma in the city (we love food). We even got to meet his beautiful wife and children and try some “French” Egyptian coffee in their home! Truly made friends for life!! We’ve promised to host him and the family when they travel to America for the first time! Such an incredible experience, and Hamada (and family) made it that much more memorable and amazing!

Excellent trip to historic sites with no one else around. We came to see Egypt while most places still had COVID19 fears. The staff at Egypt Fun Tours were professional, safe, and great to deal with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I feel like I just got a a year of Egyptology in the last week and we had all the sites to ourselves due to COVID19. While people are shutting down and staying home you should feel safe to come explore with Egypt Fun Tours and have the place to yourself.
