Giza Pyramids Complex
Since its inception 4000 years ago, the Giza Pyramids complex has awaited your arrival. The Giza complex includes three major pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the magnificent sphinx, and the Valley Temple of Immortality.
The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is a real living marvel since it is the last surviving edifice of the ancient world’s seven wonders. It was built in 2580 BC in 20 years with 2,300,000 2.5-ton limestone stones and a workforce of 100,000 free skilled craftsmen. The Great Pyramid rises at a height of 147 meters (481 feet), making it the world’s highest structure for 3800 years. Due to its complicated interior relative to its immense size, the great pyramid continues to be a source of tremendous fascination.
The Great Sphinx of Giza
Because its origin and antiquity are hidden in mystery, the magnificent sphinx has remained firm for endless years, serving as a source of inspiration for numerous artists and poets from all over the globe. It is shaped like the sphinx, a legendary monster with the body of a lion and the head of a man, most likely king Khafre, to symbolize strength and knowledge. The sphinx is 73 meters (240 feet) tall and 20 meters (66 feet) wide, and it was carved out of single limestone rock in under three years with the help of around 100 free-trained craftsmen.
The Valley Temple
The Valley Temple was built during Egypt’s ancient empire and is where the mummification method was used to obtain immortality (2686 2134 BC). It is one of the best-preserved archaeological sites and has a wealth of knowledge on ancient Egyptian mummification.
Lunch will be provided at the Nile View restaurant at the Pyramids, followed by a visit to:
The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum not only retains the enthralling beauty of ancient Egypt, but it also has the world’s largest collection of rare ancient Egyptian antiquities and monuments, stretching back over 4500 years and spanning the whole history of ancient Egypt. Inside the two-story structure are over 120,000 artifacts ranging from extravagant materials such as gold and gemstones to everyday materials such as wood or stone in the form of statues, funerary objects, and supplies such as King Tutankhamun’s treasures, the Narmer palette, Papyrus, as well as a number of displayed mummies and countless others.
After that, you’ll be transferred to Cairo airport to take your trip to Aswan, where you’ll check into your 5* luxury Nile cruise for the night.
Day 3: Enjoy the Beauty of Aswan’s Attractions: Aboard the third day of your Easter holiday, you will have breakfast on the boat and then accompany your Egyptologist tour guide to experience Aswan’s famous sites, beginning with:
High Dam of Aswan
The Aswan High Dam, which was built between 1960 and 1970, is Aswan’s sole contemporary attraction.
The dam was built in collaboration with the Moscow-based Hydro Project Institute to improve Nile flooding management, generate hydroelectricity, and boost water storage for agriculture in its reservoir lake Nasser.
The Unfinished Obelisk
Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) had the unfinished obelisk placed at the entrance to the Karnak temple. It was called “Tekhenu,” which means “to pierce the sky,” and it was significant because it demonstrated how Obelisks were constructed. It was 42 meters tall and weighed 1200 tonnes. Unfortunately, the obelisk was shattered during construction and has remained in place to this day.
Temple of Philae
Philea Temple is considered Aswan’s crown jewel and the mother of ancient Egyptian mythology since it houses the “Myth of Osiris,” in which Osiris, Isis’ husband, is slain by Set, the god of the desert of chaos, out of sheer hate and jealousy, and then resurrected to govern the underworld. Hours, the sky God and son of Isis and Osiris, defeat Set, ushering in a new period of peace, prosperity, and justice.

Temple of Kom Ombo

The temple’s one-of-a-kind design is split between two identical sections, one for the crocodile deity Sobek and the other for the falcon sky god Horus. You will continue sailing till you get at:
Edfu Temple
Edfu Temple was one of the final temples erected in ancient Egypt, between 237 BC and 57 BC, to serve as the official worship home of the sky falcon deity Horus. According to Osiris Myth, it was erected on the same site where the fight between the demon god Set and Horus took place. The Edfu temple was discovered in 1860 by Auguste Mariette, a French Egyptologist.
The architecture and interior of the Edfu temple are stunning, combining Greek and Egyptian styles to perfection.
You’ll keep sailing until you reach Luxor, where you’ll arrive late at night and spend the night on board.
Day 5: Explore Luxor, the City of the 100 Gates: After breakfast, you will be joined by your tour guide and a private air-conditioned car to begin a new leg of your Egyptian Easter trip by seeing some of the main Luxor tourist sites, including:
The Kings’ Valley
The Valley of the Kings is a staircase to heaven that has served as the ultimate resting place for Egypt’s greatest kings and queens (1570-1070 BC). It has 63 tombs with enchanted riches, artifacts, sculptures, hypnotic decorations, and the bones of pharaohs such as Rameses I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, IX, X, and the famed boy-king Tutankhamun. Due to its historical importance and beauty, UNESCO designated the valley as a World Heritage Site in 1979.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Hatshepsut Temple is a great example of allure and class; it was known as Djoser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies) and reflects the majesty of the new kingdom as well as the vision of Queen Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s most successful and powerful rulers. It was built in 1479 BC and took 15 years to complete. The temple’s architecture is based on the notion of Classical Architecture, with three floors connected by two broad ramps in the center. It houses some of Luxor’s most magnificent sculptures, antiquities, and monuments.

Memnon’s Colossi
The Colossi of Memnon are two huge pieces of quartzite sandstone that rise 18 meters (60 feet) tall and weigh 720 tonnes apiece. They are shaped like Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1350). After being devastated by a massive earthquake in 27 BC, the Colossi were rebuilt in 199 AD. The Vocal Memnon, which arose from the sculptures generating a singing voice from time to time at dawn, was quite renowned throughout the Greco-Roman period. It was nothing more than the sound of the wind blowing through the statue.
Temple of Karnak
