Dopo aver gustato un pasto abbondante, il tuo viaggio inizia con una visita alle magnifiche piramidi di Giza. Queste strutture iconiche si ergono come i più grandi resti della storia antica, testimoniando le notevoli capacità dei faraoni che le hanno costruite. Tra questi, la Grande Piramide, costruita dal re Cheope, regna come una delle sette meraviglie del Mondo Antico, a testimonianza del suo dominio dal 2790 al 2767 AC.

Dopo la tua esplorazione, concediti il pranzo con una vista mozzafiato sulle antiche piramidi.

Successivamente, ci avventureremo nel villaggio di Dahshur, situato vicino alle piramidi di Giza, dove incontrerai più maestose le grandi piramidi di Giza. Dahshur, situata a circa 40 chilometri a sud-ovest del Cairo, vanta l'estensione meridionale del complesso piramidale originario di Giza. Gli scavi a Dahshur hanno svelato i resti di sette piramidi, insieme a vasti complessi tombali costruiti per regine e nobili da Menfi alla tredicesima dinastia del Regno.

Nel frattempo, la Moschea El Refaai, affidata a Hussein Pasha Fahmy per la costruzione, iniziò nel 1298 AH / 1880 DC, ma subì un'interruzione fino al suo completamento nel 1303 AH / 1885 DC, dopo la morte di Khushiar Hanim.

Today's itinerary in Luxor begins with a visit to some of its most renowned attractions. First, we'll explore the the Valley of Kings, a secluded desert valley chosen as the final resting place for kings to protect their tombs from theft. While touring this historic site, you'll marvel at the ancient underground tombs and gain insight into the burial practices of ancient Egyptian royalty.

Next, we'll proceed to the Valley of the Queens, once a significant burial site for queens, princes, and nobles during the 18th and 19th dynasties. Although no longer a royal burial ground after the 20th dynasty, the valley still houses many tombs, some of which have been extensively reused and modified over the centuries.

Afterward, we'll pause for a relaxing lunch amidst these historical wonders.

Following our break, we'll visit el-Deir el-Bahari, a complex of pharaonic temples and tombs located on the west bank of the Nile. Built by Queen Hatshepsut, this architectural marvel served as a monastery for performing rituals intended to benefit her in the afterlife.

Our journey will culminate with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two imposing statues that once stood guard at the entrance of an ancient funerary temple dedicated to King Amenhotep III. Dating back to the Eighteenth Dynasty, these colossal statues offer a glimpse into Egypt's rich history and architectural prowess.

On this day we will end our tour in Luxor by Visiting The great temple of Edfu Her ancient religious name was Hadat or Bahdatti, and he was the local god, and he is one of the many deities, one of which is called Horus, and he is called Hor Bahdatti or Horus Edfu, to distinguish between him and Horus, the son of Isis.

then you will Visit the temple of Komombo The name Kom Ombo is divided into two parts: The first part: “Kum,” which means “hill.” The second part: “embo”, which is a transliteration of “anbu” or “nebo”, meaning “gold”. This is because this city controlled the roads that lead to the gold mines, and the temple was known in Egyptian texts as Pasobek. That is, the headquarters of Sobek, that place in which he was worshiped since pre-dynastic times, and this temple is located on a very high hill, overlooking the Nile River.

And all the meals breakfast, lunch and dinner are included.

After enjoying breakfast, prepare for a journey to Aswan in our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles, where you'll explore the High Dam. The origins of dam construction near Aswan trace back to the 11th century AD, when the engineer Ibn al-Haytham was called upon by the Fatimid caliph to manage the Nile's floods. Carved from pink granite, the obelisk stands as the longest Egyptian obelisk, towering at 42 meters in length and weighing around 1,000 tonnes, displaying noticeable cracks on its surface.

Our tour of Aswan concludes with a visit to the Nubian village. Originating around a century ago, during the construction of the ancient Aswan reservoir between 1902 and 1912, the village was established on a sandy slope on the west bank of the river, near Suhail Island, providing residents with safety from the yearly floods.
