The Great Pyramid of Giza

The huge pyramid of Khufu is usually the first structure you see upon entering the Giza Plateau. It is renowned as the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. Builders constructed it over 20 years to house King Khufu’s mummy, which dates back to 2580 BC. Standing 147 meters tall, the pyramid features a highly complex interior.

The Great Sphinx of Giza

The huge statue, known as the Fallen from the Heavens, was erected during the reign of Pharaoh Chephren (2558-2532 BC) to become the world’s largest ancient statue. It features the body of a lion-like sphinx and the face of Khafre.

Day 2: Visit the Abu Simbel Temple: You will have your Breakfast Boxes in the early morning, then check out of your accommodation and join your private tour guide for a visit to the magnificent Abu Simbel Temple.

Temples of Abu Simbel

The Abu Simbel temple, built in the reign of Ramses II (1292-1186BC) in 1200 BC, is a one-of-a-kind structure that represents the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian architecture. It is one of two temples dedicated to him and the home of the legendary Sun Festival, while the other is dedicated to his wife Queen Nefertari.

After returning to Aswan, you will have lunch before boarding the first-class train to Luxor, where you will check into a 5* hotel and spend the night.

Day 3: Visit Luxor’s Attractions:

On your last day, you will have breakfast, check out of your accommodation, and go to the city of the sun to see some of the most valuable works of ancient Egyptian culture, beginning with:

The Kings’ Valley

Imagine a route through the center of a mountain filled with unimaginable riches and vibrant wall paintings inside huge tombs dating from Egypt’s New Kingdom (1570-1544 BC), with up to 36 tombs dating to renowned rulers like Tutankhamun, Ramses VI, Seti I, and others.

Temple of Hatshepsut

The temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1479-1458 BC), which was built in 1479 BC and is one of the best-preserved archaeological monuments in the world, is the greatest example of ancient Egyptian architecture.

Memnon’s Colossi

Throughout history, people have moved, shattered, and rebuilt the Colossi of Memnon several times.

They erected the statues in the likeness of Amenhotep III (1386-1350 BC) and transported them 700 kilometers from Cairo to Luxor to guard Thebes’ wealth.

They will serve lunch on an island accessible only by boat.

After that, you’ll finish your journey from Port Ghalib by going to:

Karnak Temple

The ancient religious spirit and commitment shine through in every temple, monument, and corner of the 247-acre Karnak Temple Complex. Built more than 3,500 years ago, it stands as one of the world’s oldest and largest open-air museums.

Finally, an A.C. vehicle will transfer you to your accommodation in Port Ghalib, concluding your three-day Egypt Highlights tour from Port Ghalib.

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.
