After breakfast, go off with your personal tour guide on your 15-day Egypt Christmas holiday to visit some of the top Cairo tourist attractions.

The Giza Pyramids Complex is a stunning collection of ancient structures that date back 2400 years. The Valley Temple, a colossal sphinx, three larger pyramids, and six lesser ones are all part of this impressive complex.

The Great Sphinx, which is 73 metres long, 19 metres wide, and 20 metres tall, belonged to "King Chephren" and is the oldest and largest statue in the whole world. It is an incredible piece of art that is over 3,000 years old.

There is only one remaining Ancient Egyptian granite funeral structure on the Giza plateau used for mummification, located in the Valley Temple.

After enjoying a delicious lunch at a restaurant with a stunning view of the Pyramids or the Nile, why not continue your day with a fascinating trip to one of Egypt's many other attractions?

Then head to the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Located near the Giza Pyramids, the museum offers a journey through thousands of years of Egyptian history, with collections that showcase the art, culture, and achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Explore the museum's galleries and admire statues, royal artifacts, jewelry, and other archaeological treasures. Your Egyptologist guide will explain the history behind the exhibits and introduce you to the stories of the pharaohs and the civilization that shaped Egypt.

Then we'll transfer you back to your hotel for overnight.

After picking you up from your accommodation, our tour guide transfers you to see: Magnificent in size, the Cairo Salah El Din Citadel was Egypt's administrative hub until the 1860s. It was constructed under Salah Al-Din's rule. The structure was started in 1176 and completed in 1182.

The majority of the walls of the mosque, which was constructed between 1820 and 1838, were made of pure alabaster, thus its nickname "The Alabaster Mosque." The Blue Mosque in Istanbul is imitated in the Muhammad Ali Mosque.

A local Cairo restaurant will give lunch.

The oldest and most well-known market in the Middle East, Khan El-Khalili, must be visited on every trip to Cairo. Around 970 AD, the same year Cairo was established, it was constructed.

Check out of your lodging after breakfast, then drive to the Cairo airport to catch a flight to Luxor. There, you'll meet your Egyptologist tour guide and continue your Egypt Christmas vacation by viewing the city's famous attractions, starting with:

Karnak Temple
The most breathtaking location in Egypt is the Karnak temple. It is the largest temple complex in the world. It is the result of numerous generations of Pharaohs and ancient builders. Over 247 acres of land, there are three main structures that make up the Temple of Karnak.

Before travelling with your tour guide to view the Luxor Temple at night, you should transfer to your Nile cruise for lunch and some downtime.

The Temple of Luxor
The Opet Festival, which was the most important celebration, was centred on the Temple of Luxor. The temple served as a location for festival ceremonies and was mostly constructed by Amenhotep III and King Rameses II. The purpose of the celebration was to bring the ruler's heavenly and human aspects into harmony.

For the evening, return to your Luxor Nile cruise.

After breakfast aboard the Yournile Cruise, your Egypt Christmas holiday will come to an end with a visit of the significant sites on Luxor's west bank, including:

Valley of the Kings
The tombs of famed pharaoh Ramses II and youthful pharaoh Tutankhamen are among those found there, which serves as the final resting place for Egypt's monarchs from the 18th to the 20th dynasties. All the material goods that a king may desire in the afterlife were present in abundance in the tombs. The majority of the burial decoration has survived.

The Hatshepsut Temple
One of Ancient Egypt's most spectacular and well-preserved temples is this one. The three floors of Hatshepsut's temple were connected by two substantial ramps in the middle.

colossi of Memnon
The only remaining pieces of a complete burial temple are two enormous stone statues of King Amenhotep III. Pieces of the quartzite sandstone were discovered near Cairo and were carried 700 kilometres to Luxor to be used in the sculptures.
