Day 1 – The Wonders of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum
Your exclusive adventure begins with a private transfer from your resort in Soma Bay to Hurghada Airport for your short domestic flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, meet your private Egyptologist guide and begin your exploration of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks.
Travel to the legendary Giza Plateau and stand before the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World.

Continue to the Valley Temple of King Khafre and come face-to-face with the mysterious Great Sphinx, the legendary guardian of the royal necropolis carved directly from a single limestone outcrop. Guests wishing to enhance the experience may enjoy an optional camel ride around the pyramids for spectacular desert views.
Following a delicious lunch at a carefully selected restaurant overlooking the pyramids, continue to the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum in the world. Admire colossal statues, beautifully preserved sarcophagi, royal jewelry, ancient artifacts, and the priceless treasures of Tutankhamun displayed in state-of-the-art galleries that showcase more than five thousand years of Egyptian civilization.
In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Old Cairo with a visit to the famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Wander through the vibrant alleys lined with traditional workshops, colorful shops, spices, perfumes, handcrafted souvenirs, and beautiful examples of Islamic architecture that have characterized the historic district for centuries.
In the evening, transfer to Cairo Airport for your domestic flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, your private driver will escort you to your hotel for an overnight stay in the ancient capital of the New Kingdom.
Day 2 – The Royal Secrets of Luxor
For an unforgettable start to the day, you may choose an optional sunrise Hot Air Balloon ride above Luxor. Floating peacefully over the Nile Valley at dawn offers breathtaking views of temples, villages, fertile farmland, and the mountains that conceal the royal tombs.
After breakfast, begin your exploration at the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious center ever built. Expanded by generations of Pharaohs over nearly two thousand years, Karnak was the spiritual heart of Ancient Egypt and the principal sanctuary of the god Amun-Ra.
Walk through the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 colossal sandstone columns, admire sacred lakes, towering obelisks, colossal statues, and beautifully decorated chapels while uncovering the fascinating stories of the kings and priests who ruled the New Kingdom.
After enjoying lunch at a premium local restaurant overlooking the Nile, cross to Luxor’s legendary West Bank and discover the Valley of the Kings, one of the world’s most important archaeological sites and the final resting place of Egypt’s greatest Pharaohs. Accompanied by your private Egyptologist guide, enter three beautifully decorated royal tombs adorned with vibrant colors, sacred texts, and intricate hieroglyphics that reveal the ancient Egyptians’ beliefs about eternity and the afterlife.
Continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahari, one of the finest masterpieces of ancient architecture. Built dramatically against towering limestone cliffs, this extraordinary temple honors Egypt’s most successful female ruler and remains one of Luxor’s greatest monuments.
Pause for memorable photographs at the Colossi of Memnon, the giant statues of Amenhotep III that have stood proudly on the Theban plain for more than 3,400 years.
If time permits, you may also enjoy an optional visit to Luxor Temple or a leisurely walk along the beautifully restored Avenue of Sphinxes before beginning your comfortable private transfer back to Soma Bay.
