Have your breakfast and then start your first day of exploration with a visit to the pyramids of Giza from Cairo, where the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos stand. Take pictures of these ancient wonders and then walk to the Sphinx and the Valley Temple, which is not far from the Sphinx, to wander.
Next, come into the day at the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is magnificent, where the treasures of King Tutankhamun and numerous ancient artifacts are really well displayed. After the museum visit, savor local food at the restaurant and then go back to your accommodation.
After having your breakfast and checking out, transfer to Cairo Airport to catch your flight to Luxor. When you arrive, a guide from Around Egypt Tours will accompany you to visit Luxor’s East Bank, where the gigantic Karnak Temple Complex and the Luxor Temple, which is lighted up at night, are located.
Both of them are among the most amazing and ancient sites in Egypt. Later, you will get on a luxurious Nile Cruise and have lunch and dinner onboard while you get ready for your relaxing trip on the Nile.
After having breakfast on board, you will cross over to the West Bank of Luxor, the ancient burial place of Thebes.

Then you will proceed to the Temple of Hatshepsut, a queen whose life was characterized by her beautiful architectural creations, and then visit the giant Colossi of Memnon.
Finally, you will be back to the cruise for lunch and off the ship to Edfu, while at the same time capturing the picturesque rural landscape of Egypt along the Nile.

After this extraordinary experience, go back to the boat and proceed to Kom Ombo, where you will visit the double Temple of Kom Ombo built in honor of the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus the Elder. Take in the beautiful artwork and also the unusual symmetry of this temple beside the Nile before going back to your cruise.
After breakfast, visit the fascinating Temple of Philae, the goddess Isis, which is very beautifully situated on Agilkia Island; this was the first stop of your Aswan tour. Next is the High Dam, one of the modern engineering marvels of Egypt that changed the face of the Nile Valley. Wrap up the morning with a sumptuous lunch on board, followed by a relaxing afternoon on the deck enjoying the serene environment of the southern Nile.
After breakfast, you will leave your cruise, and a transfer will take you to Aswan Airport, where you will be boarding your flight back to Cairo.
