Khufu’s Great Pyramid: History and intrigue unfold at the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian civilization. It is said to be the last remaining edifice of the ancient world’s seven wonders. It was built in 2580 BC in 20 years utilizing 2,300,000 pieces of 2.5-ton limestone and a crew of around 100,000 free skilled craftsmen.
The Great Pyramid is 147 meters (481 feet) tall, making it the highest structure in the world for 3800 years until the completion of the Lincoln Cathedral in England in 1311. Its sophisticated complicated interior has piqued the attention and curiosity of people all around the globe.
Sphinx of Giza: It is a timeless champion who was known in ancient times as “Hor-Em-Akhet,” which means “Horus of the Horizon,” and today as Abu Al-Hawl, which means “The Father of Terror” in Arabic. It is shaped like the sphinx, a legendary monster with the body of a lion and the head of a man thought to be King Khafre to represent his strength and intelligence. The sphinx is 73 meters (240 feet) tall and 19 meters (66 feet) wide, and it was carved out of a massive solid limestone boulder.
The Temple of the Valley: It was built throughout Egypt’s old monarchy (2686-2134 BC) within the complex, and because of the ancient Egyptians’ building prowess, the valley is one of the best-preserved archaeological sites of the ancient Egyptian civilization. It provided important information regarding the mummification process and Ancient Egyptian burial customs.
Following that, you will eat your excellent lunch before joining your tour guide to finish your day in Cairo by visiting:
Memphis City: Memphis City is where the heritage of Ancient Egypt began as the formal capital of Egypt; it was created in 2925 BC by King Menes Narmer to be the life of the two countries. It was the abode of the deity Ptah, the patron of creativity and artwork, and is renowned as the Land of Endurance and Beauty. It housed the temple of Hut-Ka-Ptah, which translates as Enclosure of the Ka of Ptah in Greek and is the etymological root of the term Egypt.
Step Pyramid of Saqqara: It was created by the genies Imhotep, the vizier of Pharaoh Djoser, and is where amazement struck for the first time, initiating the golden period of pyramid build in ancient Egypt. It has a unique design of six steps and rises at 62 meters in height, surrounded by a large complex with captivating ornaments and grand ceremonial monuments.
After that, you’ll fly to Cairo to catch your flight to Aswan and settle into a 5* hotel for the night.
Day Three: Observe The Seven Wonders of Aswan, Nubia
On day three, you will have breakfast at your hotel in Aswan before continuing your vacation in Egypt by seeing some of the main Aswan tourist sites, such as:
The High Dam: It was built between 1960 and 1970 as a collaboration project with the Moscow-based Hydro Project Institute to develop better control over Nile floods, generate hydroelectricity, and boost water storage for agriculture. The High Dam was the potential cause of the destruction of the massive Abu Simbel temple and the Philae temple.
The Unfinished Obelisk: The Unfinished Obelisk, which stands tall as a sign of grandeur, was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) to stand at the gateway to Karnak Temple. It was known as “Tekhenu,” which means “to pierce the sky,” and demonstrates how obelisks were built. It would have reached a total height of 42 m and weighed 1200 tonnes, but the obelisk shattered during construction and was compelled to stay in the same spot till today.
Before visiting, go to the following restaurants with your tour guide:
Temple of Philae: Philea Temple is an ancient Egyptian mythical marvel where all the great stories were recounted, such as the “Myth of Osiris,” in which Isis’ husband “Osiris” is slain by his brother. Set is revived as the king of the underworld after being vanquished by Hours the falcon sky God, the son of Isis and Osiris, ushering in a period of prosperity and justice.
The temple was moved in the 1960s to the island of Agilkia as part of a UNESCO-led rescue attempt to save it from being drowned. After that, you’ll return to your hotel for the night.
Visit Abu Simbel on Day Four.
Take your breakfast boxes, check out of the hotel, and join your tour guide for a 300-kilometer trip to the southwest of Aswan to see:
Temples of Abu Simbel: Since its construction by Ramses II (1279-1213 BCE) as the “Temple of Ramesses, cherished by Amun,” this monument has stood on Egypt’s southern border. The main larger temple is dedicated to Ramses II, and the second smaller temple is dedicated to his beloved wife Queen Nefertari.
The sun festival takes place on the 22nd of February and October of each year, when the sun shines on the faces of the four seated statues of Ramses II, Ptah (God of Creation), Amun (The Creator God), and Ra (Sun God). In the mid-1960s, the temple was the focal point of the most difficult archaeological rescue effort in history, led by UNESCO.
After your day trip, proceed to Aswan for lunch before boarding your train to Luxor, where you will check into a 5* hotel and spend the night.
Day 5: Visit the World’s Largest Open-Air Museum.

Temple of Karnak: The spiritual spirits of ancient Egypt were concealed in the Karnak Temple, which was known as Ipet-isu The Most Selected of Places, and Pr-Imn House of Amon when it was built over 4000 years ago. It is one of the world’s largest religious man-made structures and served as the worship center for the entire ancient Egyptian civilization for more than 1500 years to countless deities such as the great Osiris, Montu, Ptah, and Isis, but the complex was primarily dedicated to the Theban triad, which consisted of God Amun, his wife the Goddess of Justice Mut, and his son the moon god Khnsou.
You will next have lunch at an exceptional restaurant in Luxor, then transfer to your hotel to recover yourself, and then travel with your tour guide at night to enjoy:
The Luxor Temple at Night: Luxor Temple is a lunar marvel that shines most at night when the moon smiles on it, revealing its hidden splendor.
It was built during the time of Pharaoh Amenhotep III around 1400 BCE and was known as “Ipetresyet,” which means “southern sanctuary.” It was completely devoted to the Theban triad’s God Amun, who represented the rebirth of royalty. The temple’s architecture is incredibly entrancing, with elaborate embellishments and buildings.
Return to your accommodation for the night at the conclusion of the day.
Day Six: Finish Your Trip in Luxor
After breakfast and checking out of the hotel, you will continue your Egypt in 9 days Tour Package to Luxor by seeing the remainder of the fascinating Luxor tourist sites, such as:
Temple of Hatshepsut: Hatshepsut Temple, also known as Djoser-Djeseru “Holy of Holies,” is a stunning example of Ancient Egypt civilization’s ingenuity; it is a gorgeous construction of one of Ancient Egypt’s most successful queens, Queen Hatshepsut.

A huge earthquake in 27 BC severely destroyed the colossi, which were reconstructed in 199 AD. During the Greco-Roman era, the sculptures were well-known due to The Vocal Memnon phenomenon, which was created by singing at dawn from time to time, which was nothing more than the sound of the wind blowing through the statue.
Then return to your Luxor hotel for the night.
Day 7: Fly to Cairo and Tour Cairo’s Top Attractions
Day seven will begin with breakfast and check-out from your Luxor hotel before flying directly to Cairo to conclude your 9-day Egypt itinerary by seeing some top Cairo tourist sites such as:

Following that, you will have a lunch break before concluding your day by visiting:
The Hanging Church: The Hanging Church, also known as “The Holy Church of the Virgin Mary,” is the center of Coptic culture in Cairo. It is one of Egypt’s most significant and recognized Coptic landmarks, and it has housed the Coptic patriarch for many years. It was built in the 5th century AD on the southern wall of a Roman fortification named Babylon.
The church is 30 feet tall and towers above Cairo, and the architecture and interior of the hanging church are extremely stunning, combining aspects of creative design from the 7th to the 13th centuries.
Mosque of Amr Ibn Al Aas: It was established in 641 AD and remains a functioning place of worship and one of Egypt’s most significant and renowned Islamic structures. It was rebuilt many times during the 7th century, making it a live example of Islamic building advancement throughout the years.
Synagogue of Ben Ezra: It was once a church before being converted into a synagogue in 882 AD, making it the last of its sort in Egypt.

It is 28 meters tall and 2.7 meters wide and is made completely of solid red granite, with a Greek inscription dedicated to Emperor Diocletian on its western top side.
