This first day is dedicated to a smooth check-in and relaxation, allowing you to settle in and prepare for your week-long discovery of Egypt's ancient wonders.

 

Your journey through history begins at the Giza Plateau, where you will explore the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Khafre, and Mykerinus, alongside the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple.

You will be transferred to Cairo Airport for a short flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, you will board your luxury Nile Cruise for lunch. The afternoon is dedicated to exploring the East Bank’s architectural masterpieces, including the massive Karnak Temple complex—the largest place of worship ever built—and the elegant Luxor Temple, which was largely constructed by Amenhotep III and finished by Ramses II.
