Luxury tour to Cairo, Nile cruise and Hurghada

Enjoy the beautiful morning of Cairo city and enjoy your breakfast to start your day fresh. Our private car will be waiting for you to start your tour with the accompany of a certified tour guide to discover the secrets of the Egyptian civilization. Our first stop will be Saqqara or one of the famous treasures of Egypt, where you find new discoveries every day under its sand. 

One of the most famous tombs and artifacts in Saqqara is the funeral collection of King Djoser, and especially the King Djoser pyramid, which is one of the first royal constructions on earth. The step pyramid of King Djoser was built by the great architect Imhotep, and it is considered a revolutionary construction in the art of ancient Egypt. The name of the area came from the Pharaonic god Soqaar. Saqqara includes many pyramids for the kings of the third, fifth, and sixth dynasties. 

Then, let’s go to the wonders of the world, or the Giza Pyramids. When you reach the Giza plateau, you will see three massive pyramids from thousands of stones hiding secrets inside their stones. Your tour guide will reveal the reason for building the Giza pyramids of Kings Khufu, Chephren, and Menkaure. The story behind these great architectural constructions is their belief in the second life after death, or eternity. The Egyptian kings believed that they were the representatives of the god, so they would resurrect again; therefore, they would need safe tombs for their possessions and treasures that would assist them in their second life. The Giza plateau doesn’t include only three pyramids but includes nine pyramids. Where you can take a fascinating picture for you and your family to have a non-ending memory. 

One of the significant components of the Giza area is the gorgeous statue of the Great Sphinx, which is a unique statue of a human head and lion body lying on the earth looking to the sun. The Great Sphinx is considered the guardian of the treasures of the pyramids. The choice for the human head reflects the clever mentality of the ancient Egyptian kings, and the choice for the lion body signifies the power of the Egyptian kingdom. 

Let’s see the final destination near the pyramids, which will be the valley temple where the Egyptian doctors and scientists gathered to mummify the dead body of the king or the queen to prepare it for the second life after resurrection to avoid damage. The mummification temple included one of the most mysterious processes in the world, which is still totally unknown. 

Let’s discover another treasure for the ancient Egyptians: let’s see Memphis City. Memphis was the first capital of the ancient Egyptian kingdom and the administrative headquarters. Memphis is called the Open Museum, and it houses a collection of rare artifacts from different pharaonic eras. The museum includes a huge statue of King Ramses II, which is more than 10 meters tall, a collection of granite statues of him, as well as a collection of sarcophagi, some columns, and crowns, as well as many of the famous column capitals.

Let’s move to discover the Coptic area of old Cairo: Our first destination will be the enchanting church of the Virgin Mary, and it is also called the Hanging Church. It is the first headquarters of the Orthodox Patriarchs in Cairo. The reason behind this name of the Hanging is because it was on two towers of the Babylon fortress, which was built during the reign of the Trajan emperor. 

After seeing the Hanging church, you will visit the famous church of Abu Serga, which was the location for According to historians, bishops and archbishops often gathered in the church of Abu Serga to elect the patriarch in ancient times.  Abu Serga church was an important stop in the journey of the holy family after their flight to protect Jesus the child.

The temple has a great story when it was about to be submerged by the water of the River after building the High Dam, which will be one of our next destinations.

It’s a high and huge obelisk, but it is still lying on the ground due to the discovery of cracks in the body of the obelisk. The architects tried to fix it, but with no solution, so it was called the unfinished obelisk because they stopped working on it.

The temple is distinctive because of its dedication to worshiping the two gods Sobek and Horus. The decorations and the inscriptions of the temple are enchanting and reflect beautiful scenes and symbols with great coherence between them.

Our first temple will be the Karnak complex: It's called the complex of temples, Buildings, and Columns. The temple was built to honor the trinity of Amun (modern-day Amun-Ra), his wife, the goddess Mut, and their son Khonsu. The enchanting decorations, the huge columns, and the inscriptions on the walls of the temple of Karnak reflect the cleverness of the Egyptian architects and the great method of construction. One of the most prominent locations in the temple is the sacred lake, which was a significant place where the priests came to cleanse before performing rituals. In addition, there are many temples and churches around the main temple, which make it like an open Museum. 

After this, you will see the avenue that connects the two temples of the Karnak temple and the Luxor temple with a road decorated with sphinx statues. Our next stop will be Luxor temple, which still makes the visitors amazed by the great art of construction. During the reign of Amenhotep III, the temple was constructed to prove and emphasize the lineage of Amenhotep to Amun Ra because he lacked the two conditions that made him able to be the ruler of Egypt, being the son of Egyptian pharaohs and wasn’t married to an Egyptian queen. Moreover, King Ramses II influenced the temple by building and putting a very high obelisk inside the temple with inscriptions narrating his expansions, military achievements, and victories over enemies, which you shouldn’t miss seeing.
