Tour Itinerary
Welcome to Egypt and the start of a wonderful Egypt holiday! Arrive at Cairo airport, meet and greet service and included transfer to your 5 star Cairo hotel, located at the foot of the Great Pyramids of Giza.
Cairo – Luxor. Today a visit to the incredible pyramids and huge Sphinx at Giza Plateau. It’s estimated the largest – Khufu (Cheops) was constructed from no less than 2.5 million quarried limestone blocks, weighing around 6 million tonnes. No mean feat, when you consider the pyramids were built without the use of modern equipment! Maybe opt for a camel ride. Traveling on to the necropolis of Saqqara, innumerable sand-strewn temples and tombs await discovery. It’s at Saqqara where you’ll see Zhoser’s step pyramid. Rising 6 steps, served as the prototype for ancient Egypt’s most enduring architectural legacy. This evening we travel by overnight sleeper train to Luxor.
Meals included : Breakfast
This morning we arrive at Luxor and check into our hotel. One of the world’s greatest open-air museums, the 4000-year-old site of ancient Thebes – known today as Luxor is our base for two exciting days of exploration. Enjoy some rest and relaxation. Tonight, there is an optional visit to the Temple of Luxor. The temple is magically illuminated by a thousand colored lights at nightfall, book and pay locally. The remainder of the evening at leisure with a chance to enjoy the facilities of our hotel.

Luxor – Cairo. Take flight over ancient Luxor with an optional hot air balloon ride early this morning before we cross to the West Bank of the Nile. The massive pair of statues known as the Colossi of Memnon are the first monuments we’ll see as we start our day’s sightseeing. They are all that remains of the temple of Amenophis III.
