“King Khufu” is the owner of the Great Pyramid. The only one of the three pyramids on the Giza plateau to have survived the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it is the oldest and largest of the three. The great pyramid was created over the course of twenty years and is 147 meters tall. 2,300,000 stones were utilized in its construction.

The Egyptian Museum
A unique collection of artwork from the past 5000 years is on view at the Egyptian Museum. The exhibition features more than 250,000 authentic objects, including a display of the gold, jewelry, and treasures that Tutankhamun collected and kept in his tomb for more than 3,500 years.
You’ll be transported to the Cairo airport in the evening to catch your flight to Luxor, where you’ll be met and taken to a 5-star hotel for the night.
Day 2: Return to Safaga after observing Luxor Landmarks: After breakfast at your hotel, you will continue your Safaga to Cairo & Luxor tours by viewing Luxor sites and enjoying the company of your private tour guide to explore:
The Kings’ Valley
It is the location of the tombs of Egypt’s kings from the 18th to the 20th dynasties, including the renowned Pharaoh Ramses II and the young pharaoh Tutankhamun. All the material possessions that a monarch would require in the afterlife were present in the tombs in abundance. The majority of the tomb’s interior design has been preserved.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Of all the temples from Ancient Egypt, this one is among the most stunning and well-preserved. Three floors of the temple were constructed, and two large ramps in the middle connected them.
The Memnon Colossi
The sole remnants of an entire funeral temple are the two enormous stone statues known as the Colossi of Memnon, which depict King Amenhotep III. The statues are constructed from pieces of quartzite sandstone that were first found in Cairo and then transported 700 kilometers to Luxor.
After that, proceed to an island for lunch. As a result, your tour also includes a boat ride down the Nile River and visits to:
Temple of Karnak
The most spectacular site in Egypt is Karnak. It is the biggest temple complex ever created by humans. It stands for the culmination of the work of numerous generations of ancient builders and pharaohs. On a 247-acre plot of ground, the Temple of Karnak is made up of three principal temples.
