Holiday Package to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan

Our certified guide and personal driver will greet you after breakfast at the hotel to start your Egypt Travel Packages. Beginning in Cairo, your tour will take you to Alexandria, which was founded in 332 B.C. by renowned statesman Alexander the Great. He founded one of the biggest empires in antiquity and was a magnificent monarch of the Greek Kingdom. Up to the Arab conquest in the seventh century, Alexandria functioned as the capital of Egypt for nearly a millennium, and it continued to be the country's second-biggest and most significant metropolis after Cairo.

After you get here, we'll head to the Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs to start our day tour of Alexandria. Originally intended as a private tomb for an affluent family, it was eventually enlarged to house Alexandria's common population. We'll then take a little trip to view Pompey's pillar, which is Egypt's tallest standing pillar. It was constructed by the Alexandrian people as a sign of gratitude to Roman Emperor Diocletian, who had used some of Egypt's yearly tribute of grain and corn to aid the city's residents.

After that, you will be driven to the coast where you may take in the views of the Mediterranean until you reach the Citadel of Qaitbay, which was constructed in 1477 A.D. on the location of the once-famous Pharos lighthouse.

Savor a sumptuous meal of seafood at a posh restaurant in Alexandria before visiting the three-building Modern Bibliotheca of Alexandria, which consists of a planetarium, conference center, and reading space. Along the way, you'll get to see the city's principal squares, neighborhood markets, and notable sites like the memorial for "unknown soldiers" and the modern statues of politicians. You will be driven back to Cairo by your own tour guide and driver, stopping along the route for a cup of coffee or tea.

Stay at the Cairo hotel for an additional night.

Included in your meals are breakfast and lunch.

Your certified Egyptologist guide will take you to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where you can pore over the minute details of the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world, following a delectable breakfast at your Cairo hotel. Additionally, you will get to see King Tutankhamen's coffins and golden mask.

We will visit the Citadel of Saladin before starting our fascinating Islamic Cairo tours, which will take about two hours at the Grand Egyptian Museum. The Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, built in the twelfth century by Mamluk kings to protect Egypt from the crusaders, is housed within this fortress. Later, in 1830, Ottoman Empire King Mohammed Ali constructed the famous mosque inside the fort.

We shall stop as part of our Egypt Classic Tours to treat you to a delicious lunch before starting our tour around Coptic Cairo. Following lunch, we will continue our tour by investigating the ruins of Babylon, an ancient Roman citadel from the first century AD. Above it sits an amazing church known locally as the "Hanging Church," which is hung atop towers. The church of St. Sergius will be our next stop after meandering through little lanes that will give you the impression that you are strolling through ancient Jerusalem's streets. The Holy Family's presence at this church during their nearly three-month sojourn in Old Cairo during their flight to Egypt was a blessing.

The last stop on our tour of Coptic Cairo will be a visit to the Ben Ezra Synagogue, located in Cairo's historic Jewish neighborhood. Originally a Christian church, it was later purchased by a Jewish man.

We will travel to Islamic Cairo and wander along El Moez Ledin Ellah Street, which is the oldest thoroughfare in Fatimid Cairo and is well-known for its assortment of Islamic buildings and artwork. Before stopping for a break at El Fishawy, the oldest cafe in Khan El Khalili, where you can enjoy a Turkish coffee or a unique mango drink, we will stop at the ancient Market and see the Al Azhar mosque along the road.

We're going to spend the night in Cairo and return the automobile to the hotel.

After enjoying a filling breakfast at the hotel, end your stay by checking out of your room. Prepare yourself in the lobby as we will be picking you up to transport you to the Cairo airport for your internal trip to Luxor, where your Egypt tours will conclude. We will meet you at the airport when you arrive in Luxor and, if it's feasible, transfer you to your hotel so you can get some rest. If not, we will start our tour of the west bank of Luxor right away, seeing the Valley of the Kings first, which is well-known across the world for the necropolis of the pharaohs of the New Kingdom. In the Valley of the Kings, you will get the chance to investigate three amazing tombs. 

Then, we will go to the Colossi of Memnon, which are the sole surviving buildings from King Amenophis III's funerary temple that faces the Nile, and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, commonly known as the Temple of Deir El Bahari.

We will carry on with our East Bank of Luxor tour after savoring a gourmet lunch at a charming neighborhood eatery in Luxor. We will see the magnificent Complex of Karnak Temple on this tour, which was constructed by several ancient Egyptian monarchs and rulers over a period of 2000 years. We'll start our adventure with a stroll down the Avenue of the Sphinxes, which runs alongside the corridor that links the temples of Luxor and Karnak.

During this period, we will see the hypostyle hall, which is composed of 134 huge columns, and the Unfinished Pylon of King Nectanebo, the final Pharaoh of the 30th dynasty. The greatest standing Obelisk in Egypt, constructed by Queen Hatshepsut under the auspices of the sun god Amun Re, will be pointed out to us by our guide. We will also be given a thorough tour of the temple of Amon, which is decorated with papyrus and lotus patterns that symbolize the two regions of Egypt—upper and below. The magnificent sacred lake and the Granite Scarab of Amenophis III, which are situated in the temple's heart, will also be on display.

After that, we'll take a car to the majestic Luxor Temple, which is regarded as one of the greatest examples of ancient Egyptian construction.

You can take advantage of extra excursions in Luxor, such as a trip to the Karnak Temple to witness the Sound and Light Show.

Stay the night at Luxor.

Included in your meals are breakfast and lunch.

You will receive the checkout instructions from your hotel at seven in the morning. After that, it will take you about three hours to go by land from Luxor to Aswan. After arriving, you will begin your Aswan sightseeing, starting with a trip to the Aswan High Dam, which is situated 6.5 km south of the Aswan Dam. As envisaged by the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser, this dam played a major role in the nation's economic development. You will next follow your tour guide to a boat that will transport you to the Philae Temple.

Monuments representing four important eras in Egypt's history—the Pharaonic, Ptolemaic, Roman, and Christian periods—are housed in the Philae Temple. Among the most famous structures are the Kiosk, Horus, Hathor, and the Temple of Isis.

After the Aswan day tours are over, you'll enjoy a delectable lunch in Aswan before being driven to your hotel to check in.

Spend the night in hotel in Aswan

Your Egyptologist will pick you up from your hotel after breakfast so you can visit the Abu Simbel temples, also referred to as the Ramses II temples. These amazing rock-cut temples are made up of two massive buildings that were built as a memorial to Ramses II and his beloved wife. By around 1:00 pm, you should be back in Aswan, where you'll be taken to the airport to catch your flight back to Cairo.
