Relaxing 10-Day in Egypt

the second day morning, after breakfast at the hotel, you will start your tour with your tour guide to see one of the greatest Egyptian monuments in history.

As soon as you reach the pyramids, you will find yourself next to a huge building that reaches a height of more than 140 meters, and this building is considered one of the marvels of the ancient world, but the wonder is that it is only a tomb built by the king to keep his body after moving to the other world, and generations have passed on the idea of building the pyramids to see this masterpiece in Giza, to which tourists come annually to see the greatness of what the ancient Egyptians left from the monuments that impress the whole world.

They did not only build pyramids, but there are those who built temples and tombs in different ways and statues, but the greatest of them is the Sphinx, which is no less important than the pyramids, which was built according to evidence by King Khafre, who built the Middle Pyramid.

Then you will move to Cairo, especially the Tahrir area, to visit a museum full of antiquities and unfinished history, where you will discover wonderful things inside this museum, whether it is statues, sarcophagi, or even masks such as the golden mask of the great king Tutankhamun.

There are also some silver coins that go back to different eras from the era of the pharaohs until the beginnings of Islam in Egypt, as well as some unique artifacts such as paintings and statuettes belonging to many kings in various ancient Pharaonic dynasties.

After a delicious lunch in Cairo, you will go to the Coptic Cairo area to see ancient Egypt, but in a completely different era than that of the pharaohs.

You will go to the area of the ancient churches, which are called in Egypt the seven churches, and one of the most famous of these churches is the Hanging Church, which is considered built in the air or on two pillars of an ancient fortress, and between the ruins of this fortress the Holy Family was hiding in it, and there is another church with a well from which the Holy Family also drank, so this area is considered a wonderful shrine and a holy place for Christians throughout the world.

After you finish your breakfast, you will find waiting for you to take you on a wonderful trip to the city of Alexandria on a route that takes more than two hours until you get to one of the most beautiful cities in Egypt, and also one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean.

After you reach Alexandria, you will visit the Pillar of the Masts, which Emperor Diocletian built to commemorate his memory. Still, it is wrongly known as the Pompey Pillar, and the most important thing that characterizes it is its length, as it also records on it the battles of the leaders of Alexander the Great. It is known that this pillar is the remains of a temple that was destroyed in the Byzantine era.

 After that visit, you will go to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoukafa, which is considered one of the oldest tombs in Alexandria, and the wonderful thing about these tombs is the decorations on their walls, as it was discovered by chance, as a donkey fell into it, and they were still searching for it, but it is no less important than any other place in the city of Alexandria.

After a great meal at one of Alexandria's restaurants, you'll head to the last visit, which is considered a scientific place and an important tourist destination in Egypt.

The Library of Alexandria was once an important source of science and intellectuals from all over the world, and after the fire that happened to it, and despite the different views on which era it was burned, we received some important sources of Roman and Ptolemaic writings, even in the current century, part of this wonderful edifice that is indispensable in the history and heritage of the city of Alexandria was restored.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

After having breakfast early in the morning, your tour guide will take you to the city of El Alamein, which takes more than four hours to reach. There, you will visit one of the most fascinating museums in northern Egypt. Although it does not date back to the pre-Christian eras like most Pharaonic or Ptolemaic monuments, it houses many remarkable artifacts that reflect an important chapter in Egypt’s modern history.

Upon arrival at the El Alamein Museum, located near the site of one of the most significant battles of World War II, visitors find themselves at the gates of history. The museum, which was inaugurated in 1956, documents the famous Battle of El Alamein that took place in 1942—a decisive confrontation between the Allied and Axis forces. The museum contains a wide collection of exhibits that reflect the participation of four main armies in the battle: the Egyptian, British, German, and Italian armies. It showcases original weapons and military equipment, uniforms, and detailed maps outlining attack and defence strategies, along with life-sized models depicting soldiers in trenches and on the battlefield.

The visit is not limited to the museum alone; you can also pass by the nearby military cemeteries, which stand as solemn memorials honouring the soldiers who fell during the battle, from both the Allied and Axis sides.

After finishing this remarkable tour, you will head to one of the excellent restaurants nearby to enjoy a delicious seafood meal along the Mediterranean coast.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel, our representative will take you to Cairo Airport to fly to Upper Egypt, specifically Luxor. You will visit two of Egypt's most important temples in eastern Luxor today.

After arriving in Luxor, you will begin your visits to Luxor at one of the most impressive temples in Egypt, the Karnak Temple, which was built more than 4,000 years ago to worship three gods: the sun god, the moon god, and the goddess Mut, who was considered the mother of all gods by the ancient Egyptians.

Because of its enormous size, this temple was one of the most important places where the ancient Egyptians came to worship the god Amun. It also had economic importance, as it was a storehouse for the ancient Egyptian state. Over time, it became a palace for the pharaohs, and today it is one of the most important tourist attractions in Egypt.

After that, you will go to another temple that is no less important than Karnak Temple, namely Luxor Temple, which is named after the city. This temple was built by King Amenhotep III, and many kings came after him and added some important things to it, such as King Ramses II and Tutankhamun.

For example, this temple had an old entrance on the north side, but it is now closed. At the end of this entrance, there is a hall with a small room that is said to have been the place where Alexander the Great stayed during his time in Egypt.

There is currently a large courtyard, which is the most recent addition to the site. It was built during the reign of Ramses II, after which no other king added anything to the temple.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Early in the morning after breakfast, your tour guide will take you on a different kind of tour in western Luxor to visit some of the wonderful places there.

The tour will start in the necropolis, or Valley of the Kings, as it is called. This valley is unlike any other valley, as it contains many royal tombs and tombs of nobles that hold many secrets and things that many people may not know about. For example, in the tomb of Seti I, there is a crypt that reaches more than 100 meters, and it is believed that inside this crypt there are things and secrets about this king's tomb that have not yet been discovered, as well as many other wonderful secrets that you will find there.

After that, you will go to the city of Habu, which is historically considered one of the holiest places in ancient Egypt during the Pharaonic era. Today, it only has the Temple of Ramses III, which is one of the most magnificent temples of the modern state and this family.

The sanctity of this place stems from a doctrine called Ashmonism, whose followers believed that the world was created by eight gods.

A temple was built here because of its sanctity, and during the reign of Ramses III, there was more than one temple in this place.

End your tour with the Memnon statues, which were built in the shape of the king sitting on his throne. The idea was that they were placed there to protect the tomb of Amenhotep, the king who built them. 

You will return for lunch before starting a new day with a new tour.

After breakfast, your tour guide will take you on one of the most amazing trips you will ever take in Upper Egypt.

You will start your visits at the Temple of Edfu, which is distinguished by many things and is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. The temple was built during the Ptolemaic period.

The inscriptions on its walls provide important information about language, mythology, and religion during the Hellenistic period in Egypt. In particular, the temple's engraved building texts "provide details about both its construction and also preserve information about the mythological interpretation of this and all other temples as islands of creation.

After that, you will go to the Kom Ombo Temple, which is located on a peninsula and is distinguished by the fact that it was built to worship a god different from the other gods. It is also one of the temples that was added at many different times, like the columns were added during the reigns of Hatshepsut, Ramses, and most of the kings of the New Kingdom, whose reigns were characterized by prosperity, did not reach the same level as the additions made by the Ptolemaic kings, as it has more than 10 columns, which ended in the reign of Ptolemy XI. Therefore, it is considered one of the best temples in Egypt.

After you wake up, you will find your tour guide taking you on a new trip to a different place with different visits. 

On your first visit of the day, you will go to the High Dam, which became a major goal for the Egyptian government following the Egyptian revolution in 1952, in order to control flood waters and harness the hydroelectric power that could be produced. 

It was regarded as the centre of industrialization in Egypt since the first documented effort to construct a dam by the Aswan area was sometime in the 11 th century AD when the first encyclopedist and engineer Ibn alhaytham was invited by the ruler Amr al-Allah to control some floods in the river Nile.

Then you will go to the incomplete obelisk, which is considered one of the longest Pharaonic obelisks in the world and perhaps the longest, so it is considered one of the most wonderful attractions you can visit because of its magnificent view. 

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

 On the last day of your tour in Upper Egypt, you will visit one of the most famous temples in Egypt early in the morning, which is considered one of the many testimonies to the greatness of ancient Egyptian civilization.

This temple dates back more than 3,000 years to one of the greatest kings in the history of the modern state, who built it to commemorate his great victory at Kadesh.

This temple is considered an architectural masterpiece, so if you come to Egypt, you must visit this great temple, which consists of two parts: a large part and a small part. The large temple is surrounded by four enormous statues of King Ramses sitting on the throne, and it has many inscriptions in ancient Egyptian about what happened in the Battle of Kadesh and the great victory achieved by this great king.

Inside the temple, there is a room famous for its strange story. It remains dark throughout the year except for two days when the sun shines directly on Ramses' face. Some say that these two days refer to his birthday and the day he ascended the throne, but there is no clear evidence to support this claim.

This temple has other stories, but not from the Pharaonic era; rather, they are from modern times, when it was flooded during the construction of the High Dam. However, Egypt moved the entire temple to Upper Egypt, where it currently stands, to protect one of the most magnificent temples in Egyptian history.
