10 Day Egypt Easter Package

After resting and eating your delicious meal at the hotel, your tour guide will be waiting to take you on an amazing tour on the first day of your visit to Giza Governorate, where you will learn about the wonders of the Pharaonic civilization that amazed the world and continues to amaze everyone to this day.

The tour begins with a visit to the pyramids of Giza, most notably the Great Pyramid of King Khufu, around which many stories and legends have swirled. One of the most famous stories is that King Khufu ordered the construction of the Sphinx, while others believe that the Sphinx preceded the construction of the pyramid. Among the strange stories is that King Khufu's wife, Hetep Hiras, had Libyan features - a blonde with blue eyes - which led some to believe that she was of Libyan origin, especially since her clothes resembled the dress of women in those regions.

Some sources indicate that King Khufu had several sons, and that the next ruler was King Ra Ddaf, who did not stay long in power, to be succeeded by King Khafre, who continued his father's career by building the second pyramid, as well as the Sphinx, which is one of the most magnificent statues in the world, and visitors are always keen to take pictures in front of it.

After that, the tour heads to visit two of ancient Egypt's greatest historical regions.

The first one is the city of Memphis, which was the earliest unified capital in the history of the Egyptian people and is viewed as the cradle of Pharaonic civilization. It was founded by King Narmer and is considered the cradle of Pharaonic civilization. Although the ancient city no longer exists, what remains is an amazing open-air museum that showcases huge statues and an atmosphere that takes you back to the beginning of history.

Memphis was an important center for the worship of the god Ptah, the god of crafts and industries, and its ancient name “Men-nefer” means “beautiful harbour,” which later became “Memphis” in Greek. The city played a central role in the administration of the state, and arts and architecture developed, making it an essential stop for all history lovers.

After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, head to the last stop on this special day, the Saqqara Archaeological Zone, which includes great landmarks, most notably the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, which is the oldest known royal tomb.

You will also visit the Serapeum, the temples built specifically to worship the sacred calf Apis, one of the sacred beings of the ancient Egyptians. While the temple is great in its own right, the magnificence of the Step Pyramid and the beauty of its design make it an unforgettable architectural masterpiece. Inside Saqqara, you will discover many treasures and temples that tell you about the secrets of life in ancient Egypt.

Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch

After breakfast at the hotel, prepare to meet your tour guide, who will accompany you on a day full of discoveries within the city of Cairo, where landmarks range from ancient history and religious spirituality to unique Islamic architecture.

The tour begins with a visit to one of the greatest museums in the world, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, which houses countless archaeological treasures from the ages of the pharaohs through various dynasties. Among the most prominent exhibits are the Yuya and Toya masks, which are among the rarest and most important pieces in the museum, not only for their beauty, but also for the exciting story associated with them.

In the Valley of the Kings, the tomb of Yuya and Toya was found, one of the richest non-royal tombs, although Yuya was not a king but a high-ranking one, serving as supervisor of the royal horses and a high priest in the 18th Dynasty, especially for the god Min. He married Toya, and they had Queen Tiye, who became the wife of the great King Amenhotep III.

Controversially, some researchers suggest that Yuya may not have been of Egyptian origin because of his unusual body features and the analysis of his name, which has no Egyptian roots, unlike his wife Toya, who is believed to be of pure Egyptian descent.

The museum also includes hundreds of other objects that take the visitor on a deep journey to the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization.

After the museum, you will move on to Coptic Cairo, located in the Old City of Egypt, which is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the capital and most closely associated with the history of Christianity in Egypt. 

One of its most famous landmarks is the Church of St. George, which displays some of the torture tools that were used against him during periods of Roman persecution. The area is also known as the Seven Churches, due to the number of churches it includes, such as the Hanging Church and the Church of Abu Serga, in addition to the Coptic Museum, which houses unique objects of Coptic heritage, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which is one of the most prominent pieces of evidence of the ancient Jewish presence in Egypt.

Coptic Cairo is a unique destination for any visitor, regardless of their religious or cultural background.

Afterward, head for a delicious lunch at one of the signature restaurants in preparation for the next stage of the tour.

The tour continues in Islamic Cairo, where you will visit the Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi Citadel, one of the most prominent fortified monuments built to protect the capital from invasions.

The citadel was constructed in a strategic location atop Mokattam Mountain, which gave it a privileged defensive position and made it a centre of governance throughout the ages.

Near the Citadel, the Mohammed Ali Mosque, one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in Egypt, reflects a distinctive Ottoman style that attracts visitors' attention.

At the end of the tour, visit Khan El Khalili, the most famous antique market in the Arab world, which has been an important commercial center from Mamluk times until today. Here you will find shops for traditional crafts, such as copper, silverware, khayamiya, antiques, perfumes, incense, and spices, as well as unique souvenirs.

After this rich experience, you will return to your hotel in Cairo or Giza, loaded with plenty of memories and unforgettable experiences.

Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Your tour will begin on the eastern side of Luxor, where the greatest ancient Egyptian temples are located on the east bank of the Nile, once the land of the living.

Your first stop will be the Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex in ancient Egypt and indeed the entire ancient world. Spread over a vast area of about 200 acres, it was dedicated to the worship of the god Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and their son, in what is known as the Theban Trinity.

As you enter the temple, you are greeted by the Way of the Rams, a majestic road flanked by ram-shaped statues lining both sides that connects Karnak Temple to Luxor Temple. Each ram holds a small statue of the pharaoh between its feet, symbolizing protection and royal power.

A highlight of the temple is the Sacred Lake, a lake that still exists today and was used for religious rituals, where priests would purify themselves before performing rituals. Standing there, contemplating the tranquil waters amidst the temple's silence, is like stepping back thousands of years.

Although Karnak is often mistaken for the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the truth is that Hatshepsut performed a number of rituals and ceremonies within this temple, but built her famous temple on the West Bank. Karnak, however, remains a testament to her powerful presence in the history of Thebes.

After visiting Karnak, your tour continues to Luxor Temple, which is not far away and can be reached via a stretch of the historic Ramses Road. Located directly on the banks of the Nile, this magnificent temple was dedicated to the worship of Amun and was started by King Amenhotep III, with later additions by King Ramses II.

At the main gate, you will see huge statues of Ramses II, standing tall for thousands of years, along with two huge obelisks, only one of which remains in place, while the other was moved to the Place de la Concorde in Paris in the 19th century.

Inside the temple, you pass through majestic colonnaded halls until you reach the Holy of Holies, the holiest place in the temple, where secret rituals were performed. 

There are also sacrificial storage rooms and halls for royal ceremonies, offering a glimpse into the religious and political grandeur of this place.

After your tour, return to your Nile cruise, where a delicious lunch and a quiet evening overlooking the Nile await you as you contemplate all the wonders of ancient Egyptian civilization.

After the wonderful visits in East Luxor today, the tour guide will take you after breakfast for different visits in West Luxor before the Nile Cruise goes to the city of Edfu

You will visit two of Luxor's most fascinating places, starting with the Valley of the Kings, which is undoubtedly one of the most important and fascinating Egyptian monuments.

As you begin your journey through the valley, you will encounter an impressive array of tombs, each offering a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of ancient Egypt's elite. From the tomb of Ramses II to the tomb of lesser-known pharaohs, each step through the valley's more than 60 tombs reveals a new chapter in Egypt's rich history.

With each tomb offering a unique account of dynastic succession, religious beliefs, and funerary practices, we are transported all the way back to the age of divine kingship and cosmic rituals.

Inside the tombs, there are drawings and writings on the walls that illustrate the stories of the ancient Egyptians and what they believed about life after death. 

One of the most famous tombs here is Tutankhamun's tomb, which contains many of his treasures, including his famous golden mask.

After completing this wonderful adventure, you will go to the impressive and great temple of the great Queen Hatshepsut, or as they call it the Deir el-Bahri temple, which is a tomb area on the west bank of the Nile opposite the city of Luxor and is located north of it. 

In this area, several graves have been found carved in the rocks, including the newly found tomb of a cache in which 40 mummies were found. There are three temples in Deir el-Bahri.

The Bahari Monastery is located in a mountainous area, and behind it is the Valley of the Kings, where the most famous pharaohs of ancient Egypt are found. 

The whole area is frequented by tourists from all over the world, and they visit it after or before their visit to the Karnak Temple in Luxor.

Egyptian tourism also allows visitors to take a hot air balloon ride over this spot and enjoy the view from the top of the 3,500,000-year-old ruins.

After these wonderful visits, you will return to the Nile Cruise for lunch before the Nile Cruise sets sail on its way to Edfu.
