Wake up to your first morning in Cairo and enjoy breakfast at your hotel before meeting your private Egyptologist guide. Begin your day exploring the Pyramids of Giza — Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure — marvels that have stood for over 4,000 years. Stand before the legendary Great Sphinx, guardian of this ancient necropolis.

Continue to Saqqara, home to Egypt’s first pyramid — the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, a masterpiece designed by the genius architect Imhotep. Then visit Memphis, Egypt’s first capital, to see the magnificent open-air museum with colossal statues of Ramses II.

Witness the full collection of King Tutankhamun’s treasures, including his golden mask and royal chariot, beautifully displayed for the first time together.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before exploring Old Cairo, starting with the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a medieval fortress that once protected the city for over seven centuries.

After breakfast, transfer to Cairo Airport for your short flight to Luxor, the ancient capital of Thebes. Upon arrival, your guide will take you to the East Bank to explore two of Egypt’s most majestic temples.

Visit the Karnak Temple Complex, a vast sanctuary dedicated to Amun-Ra and considered one of the world’s largest religious monuments. Walk through colossal columns, sacred lakes, and towering statues that tell the story of pharaohs and gods. Continue to the Luxor Temple, built by Amenhotep III and expanded by Ramses II, where ancient carvings glow warmly in the afternoon light.

After checking in at your hotel, rest and refresh before an evening of enchantment.
At sunset, return to Karnak for the Sound & Light Show, an atmospheric production that illuminates the temple’s ancient columns while narrating Luxor’s history as Egypt’s spiritual heart.
