Egypt Explorer

Arrive in Cairo, the vibrant heart of Egypt. The energy here is unmatched — a collision of honking horns, swirling markets, and a thousand years of Islamic, Christian, and modern history stacked together.

After pickup from the airport and transfer to hotel, time to relax and rest after the long flight. Later in the evening, we head to Khan El Khalili Market, one of the oldest bazaars in the Middle East. Wandering its maze-like alleys filled with lanterns, spices, antiques, and artisans is the perfect way to tap into Cairo’s soul. It’s more than shopping — it’s a sensory plunge into Egypt’s living history. For dinner you could try traditional Egyptian food like Baba ghanoush, tahini, stuffed vine leaves (wara’ enab), crispy falafel made with fava beans (a uniquely Egyptian twist), Kofta ( mincemeat kabab ), Molokhia, etc. Later, back to the  hotel.

After breakfast, we head to Giza, about an hour from downtown Cairo to witness the magnificent Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx. No matter how many photos or documentaries you have seen, the first glimpse of these marvels of the ancient world will take your breath away. Walk around and understand the ingenuity of ancient Egyptians through our expert local guides. Later, after lunch, we head to the Egyptian Museum. With over 120,000 artifacts, it’s not just a museum; it’s a gateway into 5,000 years of civilization. Once inside, you’re met with a staggering collection: towering statues, papyrus scrolls, jewelry, sarcophagi, and countless everyday objects that tell us how the ancients lived, worshipped, and ruled. But the highlight, without question, is the Treasures of Tutankhamun. Evening back to the hotel in downtown Cairo.

Today morning we start early to make the drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel where you’ll explore some magnificent temples. Built by Ramses II, it was the gateway to Egypt for Southern Africans and its imposing facade clearly delineated the line between what was the Pharaoh’s land and what was not. With the four gargantuan statues of Ramses guarding the Great Temple, carved directly out of the mountain on the west bank of the Nile, this is one of Egypt’s most memorable sights. You’ll have two hours to explore Abu Simbel before making the drive back to Aswan. Back to Aswan by afternoon and board the two nights Cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Later dinner on Ship.

After Today we have a full day of Cruising but we also visit the two important temples on the way. Temple of Edfu (Temple of Horus) : Located on the west bank of the Nile in Edfu, this temple is one of Egypt’s best-preserved sanctuaries. Constructed between 237 and 57 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty, it is dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god. The temple’s inscriptions provide valuable insights into ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, particularly the legendary conflict between Horus and Seth. Also visit Temple of Kom Ombo : Situated on a promontory overlooking the Nile, approximately 40 km north of Aswan, the Temple of Kom Ombo is unique for its dual dedication to two deities: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder). This symmetrical design features duplicate courts, halls, and sanctuaries for each god. After dinner
