The Giza Complex flourished under the rule of the 4th dynasty, and the site is graced by three renowned pyramids: Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure.

The Great Sphinx of Giza

The Sphinx is a single-piece limestone sculpture that dates back to ancient Egypt. The statue was sculpted in the likeness of an unknown fabled many-headed monster with a lion’s body. His head is dedicated to King Khafre, and it is said to be the real emblem of length and wisdom.

The Valley Temple

The Valley Temple is one of the most magnificent elements in the Giza Pyramids Complex, which was built entirely during the Old Kingdom. The Valley Temple’s major purpose is to house mummification operations. The location is also utilized as a funeral temple for rituals and religious festivals, in addition to mummification and cleansing activities.

After a fantastic lunch at a high-quality restaurant, travel to:

The Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Antiquities Museum is located in the center of Cairo’s Tahrir Square and serves as one of the city’s most magnificent monuments. The site includes an exposition of ruins and antiquities ranging from the Old Kingdom to the Greco-Roman Period, as well as the heritage of Nubia.

Day 6: Energize your soul with Dendara and Abydos Tours: After breakfast, you will be driven to the following locations in a private air-conditioned vehicle:

Temple of Abydos

The Abydos Temple, dedicated to Seti I, is one of Egypt’s most beautiful temples. Seti I started building the temple, and his son Ramses II finished it. Similar to Muslims’ desire to undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once, in their lives, ancient Egyptians wished to visit Abydos Temple, which was associated with the afterlife.

After a delicious lunch, you will be escorted to see:

Dendera Temple

Dendera is primarily a Ptolemaic and Roman structure that was built during the rule of the Greek Ptolemies and completed later during the reign of the Roman Emperor. The Ptolemies honored Hathor as one of Egypt’s most known goddesses by dedicating the temple to her.

We’ll take you to Luxor and check you into a 5* hotel for the night.

Day 7: Karnak & Luxor Tours / Start Nile Cruise: After breakfast, you will begin your Nile cruise from Luxor by seeing some of the most well-known sights on the Luxor East Bank, including:

Karnak Temple

One of Ancient Egypt’s holiest holy sites is the Karnak complex. During each pharaoh’s reign, he added his unique modifications to the complex. The “Avenue of Sphinxes” is the magnificent procession entry to the complex. The Temple of Hathor, however, is the most important temple on the site.

Transfer to a 5* luxury Nile cruise to settle in and have a delicious lunch before visiting:

Luxor Temple

Luxor Temple has a unique location since, unlike other temples in the area, it was not built in the veneration of a divine figure. The temple’s principal purpose was to rejuvenate the kingdom and host the yearly Opet celebrations.

From 1539 until 1075 BC, the site was primarily utilized for burials. In the area, more than 60 tombs for various kings and pharaohs from the 17th and 18th dynasties have been uncovered. The artisans of Deir El Medina beautifully painted and embellished the graves within the valley as a preparation for the next world.

Temple of Hatshepsut

The most significant monumental gift of Queen Hatshepsut is “Deir El Bahari,” as it is known. Hatshepsut Temple is a remarkable construction project that was erected with the help of architect Senimut. The temple’s principal role is to glorify the queen’s accomplishments and to serve as a religious funeral temple.

Memnon’s Colossi

On the west bank of the Nile, two massive stone statues sit. The Colossi of Memnon were thought to be security emblems for Amenhotep III’s funerary temple, which had vanished for unexplained causes.

We’ll take you back to your cruise ship for a night of sailing.

Edfu Temple

This Ptolemaic temple, which was built between 237 and 57 BC, is the most inspirational. Horus, the vengeful son of Isis and Osiris, is honored at Edfu Temple. The temple’s magnificence is linked to its case since the structure is still beautifully maintained, complete with all of its embellishments and ornamentation.

We’ll serve you a delicious lunch on the Nile cruise, after which you’ll board the Nile and go to Kom Ombo to see:

Temple of Kom Ombo

Kom Ombo temple is one of the Nile Valley’s best-located temples, situated at a bend in the river where fearful crocodiles crept and basked on the riverbank in ancient times. The Temple is dedicated to two local gods: Sobek, the crocodile deity, and Horus, the Egyptian god of the sky.

Return to your cruise ship and continue your journey to Aswan.

Day 10: Abu Simple Temples Day Trip: Early morning departure with breakfast boxes to meet your tour guide and we will transport you to Abu Simbel in a private A/C car to visit:

Temples of Abu Simbel

The mythical two temples of Abu Simbel, which are situated at the end of Upper Egypt over the southern boundaries, are like an amazing miracle. Pharaoh Ramses the Great built the temple between 1264 and 1244 BC. “Temple of Ramses, Beloved of Amun” was the name given to the whole site. The primary purpose of Ramses II’s big temple is to celebrate the king’s military victories, while the smaller temple was built to honor his own adored Queen Nefertari.

We’ll take you back to your Nile cruise, where you may enjoy the remainder of the day.

Day 11: Aswan’s Highlights Tour: Following breakfast, you will go for the greatest of Aswan’s ancient attractions with your expert tour guide, which will include:

High Dam of Aswan

The Unfinished Obelisk

It’s one of the most stunning monoliths and the world’s biggest obelisk. The Unfinished Obelisk, which weighs 1200 tonnes and has a Greek design, was carved out of red granite during the 18th dynasty by the Great Queen Hatshepsut.

Temple of Philae

Ptolemy II founded Philae on a rocky island between 380 BC and 362 BC, with other Ptolemaic monarchs contributing to the construction. The temple was extensively rebuilt to serve as Isis’s place of worship.

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!

Despite a late start due to car trouble, Mohamed more than made up for it with his incredible knowledge and dedication. His explanations were detailed and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. A memorable and informative tour, thanks to Mohamed’s hard work!

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.
