Upon your arrival in Cairo, you will be graciously transported to your chosen accommodation. Following your arrival at the hotel, kindly proceed with the check-in process, allowing for a tranquil reprieve for the day. In the evening, prepare to be enraptured by the profound historical narrative of the ancient Egyptians, as it unfurls before your eyes during the enchanting Sound and Light Show held at the iconic Pyramids of Giza. The night shall be spent in the welcoming confines of your Cairo hotel.
Commence your day with a delightful breakfast before embarking on a captivating exploration of the Great Pyramids of Giza, widely celebrated as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Subsequently, your journey will lead you to the Egyptian Museum, home to a treasure trove of invaluable historical artefacts. A visit to the Khan El Khalil Bazaar, formerly recognized as the Turkish bazaar during the Ottoman era, is on the itinerary. In contemporary times, this bustling marketplace is affectionately referred to as the “Khan.” The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure. Prepare for another restful evening at your Cairo residence.
Following a hearty breakfast, you shall be conveyed from your hotel to the airport, ready to embark on a flight to Aswan. Upon your arrival in Aswan, a seamless transfer shall usher you to the cruise terminal, where you will commence your Nile Cruise adventure. Here, you shall explore the remarkable sites of the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the resplendent Philae Temple. As the day draws to a close, you shall retire to the comfortable quarters of your cruise ship for a restful overnight stay.
Today’s expedition takes you to the extraordinary Kom Ombo Temple, a sanctuary consecrated to not one, but two deities. This temple, a unique architectural gem, was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty within the charming Egyptian town of Kom Ombo. Subsequently, your journey will continue to the awe-inspiring city of Edfu, where you will have the privilege to visit the grand Temple of Horus. Of particular note is the colossal statue of Horus in the form of a falcon, which graces the temple’s entrance, setting the tone for the magnificence that lies within. As the day unfolds, you shall return to the cruise ship for another tranquil overnight sojourn.

Following a nourishing breakfast, we shall disembark from our cruise and commence our journey to Hurghada via coach. Upon arrival, you shall be welcomed in your accommodation. Hurghada, affectionately referred to as Ghardaga by the locals, has gracefully evolved from its humble origins as a fishing village into a globally recognized holiday resort town. It is renowned for its enchanting underwater world, offering remarkable opportunities for diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. You should rest your head at the hotel in Hurghada.
Today, the day unfurls leisurely before you, offering the freedom to choose your pursuits. A splendid option is to embark on a snorkelling escapade to the beguiling Giftun Island.
