Cairo, Nile Cruise, and Sharm El Sheikh Easter Tour

Once you complete your delicious breakfast in hotel, you will find your tour guide and put you on the first day tour in Giza, in which you will go and see Pyramids, which Some thought that there were only three pyramids there. Still, there are many other small pyramids that were dedicated to the queens, in addition to the mortuary temples there, such as the Temple of Khafre, which was the reason that Khafre built the Sphinx, not Khufu, as some people think.

You can ride a camel like an optional thing, and take nice pictures in front of the Great Sphinx, after exploring all these miraculous things that the whole world doesn't know how the pharaohs built them.

  Then you will go to the necropolis of Saqqara, and the Saqqara pyramid holds the most ancient intact stone structure complex in history, the Pyramid of Djoser, which was constructed in the Third Dynasty. The other 16 Egyptian pharaohs constructed pyramids in Saqqara that today remain in different states of condition. 

Then you will have a tasty lunch before you go to Saqqara. 

This necropolis was adorned with the addition of private funeral monuments by high officials throughout the whole of the Pharaonic period. Throughout (and after) the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, more than 3,000 years later, it was still a major non-royal necropolis and a cult center.

At the end of the tour, you will be back at the hotel to rest before the next day of the new tour.

After you have your breakfast at the hotel,  your private tour guide will take you to visit the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir and This museum was not in the past as in its place today, as the Egyptian Museum was placed in many different places and was changed for various reasons such as flooding, and among these places was the Azbakeya area during the reign of Muhammad Ali Pasha, then it was moved after that during the reign of the same person to inside Salah al-Din Castle and then to Giza until they founded it for the last time in current place.

Then you will visit different places in the ancient Egyptian areas, whether Coptic or Islamic, and you will experience one of the most fascinating visits in Cairo.

You will go to the Citadel of Salah al-Din, which is located on Mokattam Mountain, which was built during the era of the Ayyubid state, where he built it to be a safe fortress that protects the capital of Egypt previously if any invasion comes, but he could not complete it during his lifetime until Sultan al-Kamil came after him and finished the construction of the citadel to be one of the most beautiful cidadels in Egypt, in addition to the Muhammad Ali Mosque, which is among monuments of mosques in Cairo. 

Then you will visit Coptic Cairo, which is characterized by the diversity and abundance of its churches, such as the Hanging Church, which was built on Babylon Fortress, which was used by Christians to hide in the Roman period, and other churches such as St. George's, St. Sergius, Ben Ezra Temple and other wonderful places that you can visit there.

After having your lunch in one of our wonderful restaurants, you will go for a walk in Khan El Khalili market to see Islamic Cairo from a magnificent view at night. 

and then return to the hotel to rest a little before the next day for other visits and other experiences.

Meals included: breakfast and lunch

After you have breakfast at the hotel, our representative will take you to Cairo Airport to fly to Aswan and start a great trip in one of the greatest and most beautiful cities in all of Egypt.

After you visit Aswan and check in at the Nile Cruise, you start your journey in Aswan to visit several places, like the High Dam, which has transformed the scenario of life in Egypt. This helped farmers to produce more harvests consecutively by farming more than twice a year, as people did when the farming practices relied on the flood season. Electricity also led to the industrialization of the country.

Environmentally and engineering-wise, dam-generated Lake Nasser, one of the biggest man-made lakes worldwide, serves as an immense artificial reservoir of water. But the project did not go without its bad sides. It decreased the quantity of silt that flowed to agricultural territories, influencing the fertility of the soil, and evicted tens of thousands of people from the Nuba area south of the dam.

The temple was characterized by the beauty of architectural design and by the richness of carvings that serve valuable religious and historical messages. 

The Philae Temple was an Egyptian centre of religion, and even when Christianity was established, it still maintained its territory because, in later periods, a section of it was used in churches.

The threat of drowning was encountered in the temple since, after building the High Dam, the island was exposed to the risk of being permanently submerged in the Lake Nasser waters. During a Nubian monuments saving campaign, UNESCO, together with the Egyptian government of the 1960s, had to relocate the temple to save it, stone by stone, to an island nearby named Agilika.

Then you will go back to your Nile cruise to eat your lunch and rest before the Nile cruise arrives at Kom Ombo.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner 

By the time you finish your breakfast at the hotel, the Nile Cruise will have reached the city of Edfu, which is one of the best cities in Aswan, and the city of Edfu is about 778 km from the capital (Cairo), where the French archaeologist Auguste Mariette unearthed an invaluable archaeological treasure of historical value in the year 1860: the Edfu Temple!

Along with being buried in the dust and the thunder of time, this majestic building rose and, retaining all the beauty of its details, became one of the most popular temples of ancient Egypt, a temple that has not lost its original details to this day.

It was constructed originally in the Ptolemaic period, to be exact, when King Ptolemy III started its construction in 237 B.C. The construction completed in the reign of Ptolemy XII took almost a hundred years. 

An open space full of colossal columns, answered by two long galleries, one of them in the Roman temples was dedicated to the sacrifice, and the other to the ease of the priests. When you go inside the Holy of Holies, the holy atmosphere seems to grip your time; all the stones and the writings on the walls have to say something, and all the symbolism is supported by a legend behind it.

So this temple is frequented by tourists from all over the world to see what the Ptolemies left behind and learn about the wonderful legends there. 

After that, you will return to the Nile Cruise to have your wonderful lunch before the boat sails to the city of Luxor for a new trip. 

Meals included: breakfast and lunch

After arriving in Luxor to start a new tour in different places and visits, you will visit many wonderful places such as the Valley of the Kings area, which was an important tourist attraction throughout the ages, especially during the era of the Roman Empire, but the area was robbed more than once throughout history, so we only discovered 11 tombs with all their details, with several inscriptions of these tombs in different languages such as Latin, Phoenician, Greek and other ancient languages, and their number reaches more than 2000 inscriptions. 

Then you will go to the Deir el-Bahri temple, which contains more than one temple for more than one king or queen, such as Hatshepsut and her funerary temple, which is next to the temple of Mentuhab, from which many of the tombs were stolen, and what remains of it are a few things from the king's tomb, and the temple complex also included six funerary chapels and vertical tombs built for the wives and daughters of the pharaoh, so it is still an important tourist shrine for everyone who comes to Upper Egypt.

Then you will visit one of the most beautiful temples of ancient Egypt and what is considered the largest pharaonic temple in Egypt. No doubt you will experience a different, wonderful visit to the Karnak Temple, as it was not built at one time or during the reign of one king, but rather by pharaohs in different eras, which makes it now contain 12 large edifices for all these kings. 

You will then visit the Memnon Statues, two quartz statues of King Amenhotep III with two statuettes of his wife and daughter next to him, all looking east.
