    Begin your adventure with a guided visit to Abdeen Palace, one of the most luxurious palaces in the world. Built in 1874 under Khedive Ismail’s grand vision for modern Cairo, this former royal residence showcases stunning architecture, priceless antiques, and historical artifacts.

    After the tour, you will be transferred to your hotel in Cairo for check-in and relaxation.

    In the evening, you may choose to join an Optional Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids of Giza – a mesmerizing experience that brings Egypt’s ancient wonders to life through music, narration, and dazzling lights (Optional, Additional Cost).

    Overnight stay in Cairo.

    Enjoy a delicious breakfast before setting out on a guided full-day tour exploring Cairo's most iconic landmarks.

    Start with a visit to the world-famous Pyramids of Giza and the majestic Sphinx – a true bucket-list moment as you stand before the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World.

    Next, discover the secrets of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship at a perfume factory and the Papyrus Institute, where you’ll see firsthand how the ancient Egyptians created papyrus scrolls over 5,000 years ago.

    Continue your journey through history at the renowned Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to thousands of priceless artifacts – including the breathtaking Golden Treasures of King Tutankhamun and the exquisite collection of King Psusennes.

    Then head to the iconic Cairo Tower, soaring 187 meters high – even taller than the Great Pyramid – offering panoramic views over the Nile and the city skyline.

    Later, soak in the atmosphere of historic El Moez Street, one of the oldest streets in Islamic Cairo, followed by time to browse the vibrant and colorful Khan El Khalili Bazaar – perfect for picking up unique souvenirs and experiencing Cairo’s local culture.

    Begin your exploration with a visit to the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex – the largest religious temple ever built. Dating back to 2055 BC, this awe-inspiring site is dedicated to the Theban gods and is filled with towering columns, colossal statues, and sacred obelisks that tell the story of a civilization rich in power and spirituality.

    Next, continue to the elegant Luxor Temple, located on the eastern bank of the Nile. Built by Pharaoh Amenhotep III, also known as “The Magnificent,” in 1390 BC, this temple was later expanded by other great pharaohs. Marvel at its harmonious architecture and imagine the grandeur of ancient rituals once performed here.

    After your tour, transfer to your hotel for check-in and some well-deserved rest.

    Overnight stay in Luxor.

    Early morning (Optional): For those seeking a truly unforgettable experience, take to the skies on a Hot Air Balloon Ride over Luxor – watch the sun rise over the Nile and the Valley of the Kings as ancient monuments come to lifebeneath you. (Optional – Additional Cost)

    After breakfast, check out from your hotel and begin your Guided exploration of Luxor& West Bank, home to some of Egypt’s most remarkable archaeological treasures:

    Valley of the Kings: Step into the royal burial ground of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs. With over 63 tombs discovered to date (and more still being unearthed), this ancient necropolis offers a glimpse into the afterlife beliefs of the New Kingdom.

    Marvel at the vivid wall paintings and intricate tomb carvings dating back to 2100 BC.

    Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: Visit the awe-inspiring mortuary temple of Egypt’s first female pharaoh, QueenHatshepsut. Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this architectural marvel is a powerful symbol of her reign (1473–1458 BC).

    Colossi of Memnon: Stop for photos at the two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, once guardians of a grand mortuary temple that has long since vanished. Standing at 18 meters tall since 1350 BC, they remain timeless sentinels of the Theban West Bank.

    After a day steeped in ancient grandeur, enjoy some time to relax and have dinner on your own.
