Itinerary

Arrival to Cairo

Upon arrival at Cairo airport, our representative will meet and greet you.  Then take our Private Transfer to the hotel where you will check into your room. At night you will have free time to discover the city in your own way or join our Team for an optional tour.

Full Day Cairo – Sleeper Train to Luxor

You will have breakfast in the hotel before starting the tour with a visit to the incredible Pyramids and 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 feats, when you consider the pyramids were built without the use of modern equipment. Visit papyrus institute, then free time for shopping and lunch in a local Restaurant. Continue your tour to Sakkara where the site is dominated by the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, which goes back to 2700 BC. It is one of the oldest stone structures in the world! Sakkara is also the site of many tombs from the 1st and 2nd Dynasties where most are made out of mud bricks, but some tombs are made of limestone, decorated with daily life scenes. Visit the Carpets Factory before Continuing the tour by visiting Memphis. The Open Air Museum at Memphis is one of the “must see” sites in Egypt! Founded in the 1st Dynasty (3100 B.C) by King Narmar, Memphis was the capital of Ancient Egypt, and the first capital city founded after the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. It remained as the capital of Ancient Egypt throughout the Old Kingdom. Because of the many necropolises associated with Memphis, many Egyptologists believe that it was once an extremely large city, though no archaeological evidence proves this, at present. Transfer to the station for the sleeper train to Aswan for dinner and overnight stay.
