6-day Egypt Easter tour excludes

Day 1: Welcome to Egypt, the Land of the Pharaohs

Start your adventure! Begin your 6-Day Egypt Easter Tour. Egypt Fun Tours will be waiting for you at your gate as soon as you arrive at Cairo airport. We will assist you with all your passport control requirements and help with baggage identification and carry.

Afterward, you will transfer by private air-conditioned car to your 5-star hotel for check-in. Relax and refresh, and then, in the evening, kick off your Egypt Easter tour with a dinner cruise on the beautiful Nile. Here, you can relax and enjoy a colorful belly dancing show, featuring a folklore band and the fantastic Tannoura spin, which honors Egypt’s whirling dervishes tradition. Finally, you’ll return to your hotel for the night.

Day 2: Discover Egypt’s Riches of Ancient Relics

On the second day, enjoy your breakfast. Afterward, check out of the hotel. Then, join your private tour guide to explore the treasures of ancient Egypt, starting with:

Giza Pyramids Complex

Be amazed! The Giza Pyramids complex has stood for 4,000 years, making it one of the world’s oldest constructions. This complex includes three significant pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple’s everlasting preservation site.

The Great Pyramid of Giza

Marvel at the enormous pyramid of Khufu. It is the last surviving monument of the ancient world’s seven wonders. At over 4,500 years old, it remains a captivating enigma due to the fringe hypotheses surrounding its origin and its intricate interior. Built in 2580 BC, it took 20 years to complete using 2,300,000 pieces of 2.5-ton limestone and a workforce of 100,000 skilled workers. Standing at 147 meters (481 feet), it was the tallest building in the world for 3,800 years until the Lincoln Cathedral in England was completed in 1311.

The Great Sphinx of Giza

Afterward, encounter the Sphinx, one of the most enigmatic artifacts in the world. Shaped like a mythological creature, it has the body of a lion and the head of a man, believed to represent King Khafre. This symbolizes power and knowledge. In Arabic, it is called Abu al-Hawl, meaning “The Father of Terror.” The Sphinx measures 73 meters (240 feet) tall and 19 meters (66 feet) wide, carved from a single limestone boulder.

The Valley Temple

Afterward, visit the Valley Temple, built during Egypt’s ancient monarchy (2686-2134 BC). This site is significant as it was where the mummification process took place. It stands as one of the best-preserved archaeological sites of ancient Egyptian civilization, offering a wealth of knowledge about mummification practices.  Following this, enjoy lunch at a local Cairo restaurant. Then, we will proceed to see:

The Egyptian Museum

Prepare to be impressed! The Egyptian Museum houses the world’s most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities and monuments, some dating back over 4,000 years. Within this two-story structure, you will find over 150,000 artifacts. These range from extravagant materials like gold and gemstones to ordinary materials such as wood and stone, including statues and funerary objects like King Tutankhamun’s treasures, the Narmer palette, and papyrus. 

Additionally, you can view several well-known mummies that provide insight into ancient Egyptian thought. Finally, you will travel to Cairo airport, catch a flight to Luxor, and then settle into a 5-star hotel for the night in Luxor.

Day 3: Visit Luxor to See the Ancient Gems in All Their Glory

Start your day! On day 3, you’ll enjoy breakfast at the hotel. Then, continue your Easter vacation in Egypt by visiting notable Luxor tourist sites, such as:

The Kings’ Valley

Step into history! The Valley of the Kings is a time capsule in the heart of the sacred mountain. It served as the last resting place for Egypt’s New Kingdom kings and queens (1570-1070 BC). Here, you will find 63 tombs filled with enchanted treasures, artifacts, statues, and beautiful decorations.  Notably, the remains of pharaohs such as Rameses (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X), Amenhotep I, Hatshepsut, and the famous King Tutankhamun reside here. This led to the valley being designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

Temple of Hatshepsut

Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, known as Luxor’s most beautiful structure. Originally named Djoser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies), it showcases the strength and will of Queen Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s most successful rulers. Conceived in 1479 BC, the temple took 15 years to build. The architecture follows the classical architecture philosophy of the New Kingdom, housing some of Egypt’s most stunning sculptures, decorations, and antiques.

Memnon’s Colossi

Afterward, explore the Colossi of Memnon, unique among Upper Egypt’s monuments. Renowned as the enormous guardians of Luxor, these two gigantic slabs of quartzite sandstone each weigh 720 tonnes and resemble Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

Standing at 18 meters (60 feet), the builders originally constructed them during the reign of Amenhotep III (1386–1350). A massive earthquake in 27 BC damaged the colossi, but restorers reconstructed them around 199 AD. Following this, enjoy lunch on an island, which includes a Nile River boat ride.  Then, visit:

Karnak Temple

Discover the Karnak Temple, also known as Ipet-isu. This site is one of the holiest destinations on Earth. Dating back over 4,000 years, it is the world’s largest artificial religious structure and the largest open-air museum. For more than 1,500 years, it served as the center of religious worship for the ancient Egyptian kingdom.

The ancient Egyptians dedicated the temple to the Theban triad, which included God Amun, his wife, the Goddess of Justice Mut, and his son, the moon god Khnsou. Additionally, the temple honored other gods such as Osiris, Montu, Ptah, and Isis. Finally, you’ll return to your hotel for the night.

Day 4: Unleash Your Spirit in Aswan’s Scenic Wonders

On day 4, you will have breakfast. Afterward, check out of your Luxor hotel. Afterward, begin your Egypt Easter holiday by boarding a first-class train to Aswan. There, you will meet your private Egyptologist tour guide and visit all of Aswan’s famous sights, including:

High Dam of Aswan

Witness the strength of the High Dam, built between 1960 and 1970 under President Gamal Abdel Nasser. This modern marvel was constructed in collaboration with the Moscow-based Hydro Project Institute. Its purpose is to improve Nile flooding management, generate hydropower, and boost water storage for agriculture in Lake Nasser.

The Unfinished Obelisk

Afterward, see the Unfinished Obelisk, ordered by Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) to stand at the entrance of the Karnak temple. Regrettably, it remains unfinished. Known as “Tekhenu,” meaning “to pierce the sky,” it would have stood 42 meters tall and weighed 1,200 tonnes. This site demonstrates how obelisks were built from the ground up, showcasing the ancient Egyptian building style. Unfortunately, the obelisk was shattered during construction and has remained in place ever since. Afterward, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Aswan. Then, finish your day by visiting:

Temple of Philae

Explore the Philae Temple, the epitome of myth, appeal, and beauty. It is renowned for propagating the “Myth of Osiris,” in which Isis’ husband, Osiris, is slain by his brother Set. In this story, Isis and their son Horus, the sky god, defeat Set, ending an era of tyranny and injustice. Notably, the temple was transported to the island of Agilkia in the 1960s as part of a UNESCO-led rescue operation after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Finally, you’ll check into a 5-star hotel in Aswan for the night.

Day 5: Marvel at Abu Simbel’s Magnificence

On day five, check out of the hotel and receive your breakfast boxes. Then, depart in a private air-conditioned vehicle with your tour guide to Abu Simbel.

Temples of Abu Simbel

Prepare to be awed by the two colossal temples of Abu Simbel, which King Ramses II (1279-1213 BCE) constructed during the New Kingdom. These temples serve as the last boundary and protector of the southern border, embodying magnificence and splendor.
The temple is known as the “Temple of Ramesses, Amun’s Favorite. Furthermore, every year, the Sun Festival takes place on February 22nd and October 22nd. On these special days, the sun shines on the faces of the four seated statues of Ramses II, Ptah (God of Creation), Amun (the Creator God), and Ra (the Sun God). In addition, the smaller temple is dedicated to his wife, Queen Nefertari. Finally, return to Aswan for lunch before boarding your flight to Cairo. Afterward, transfer to your accommodation for the night.

Last Day: Your 6-Day Egypt Easter Tour Package Comes to an End

On your last day, enjoy breakfast at the hotel. Afterward, a representative from “Egypt Fun Tours” transfers you to the airport. This ensures that you return home safely with the best memories from your journey.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
