You’ll have six days of pure fun and excitement, exploring the mysteries of the past and the monumental remains of the ancient cities that sit on the banks of Nile river. All transportation, entrance, food and accommodation fees are included, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Here’s what we’ll do during our trip:

The first day will be dedicated to greeting each other and accommodation after your arrival to the international airport in Cairo.

The next day will be spent on the ancient wonders surrounding the capital. First of all, a mandatory excursion of the Great Pyramid of Giza, preceeding the trip to another notable place, the Saqqara Necropolis, where the oldest pyramids are still standing. At the end of the day we’ll visit the remnants of the former capital Memphis before embarking on the overnight train to Luxor.

The third day will inspire you with the wonderful sites surrounding Luxor. First, we’ll cross the river and admire the Valley of the Kings, where numerous tombs of the noble dead can be seen. Then we'll stop by the Colossi of Memnon and the picturesque temple complex devoted to Queen Hatshepsut. After taking lunch we’ll cross the river once and stop at the Karnak temple, which will be followed by a visit to the Luxor complex. Overnight trip to Aswan

Our fourth day will start very early as we’ll have to set out at night to get to Abu Simbel temples and its remarkably well-preserved temple complex. After lunch we’ll take a trip back to Aswan and stop by its attractions like the High Dam and the intriguing Philae temple standing on an island in Nile.

The fifth day will start in Cairo and will pass as we visit the most peculiar places in the capital. First, the Egyptian Museum and its tremendous artifact collection, then the Saladin Citadel and the many old mosques situated around it. And how can we forget about the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar that offers great shopping time.

The final day will grant you some free time in the capital after the breakfast before your flight.
