Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel before heading out for a fascinating day of exploration. Your guide will accompany you to the Giza Plateau, where you will visit the legendary Pyramids of Khufu (the Great Pyramid), Khafre, and Menkaure. Marvel at these architectural masterpieces that have stood the test of time for over 4,500 years.
Nearby, you’ll find the majestic Sphinx, with its lion’s body and human head, and the Valley Temple of Khafre, where the ancient process of mummification took place.
After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, you’ll continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to a vast collection of ancient artifacts, including treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
The final stop of the day is at Khan Al-Khalili Bazaar, a bustling market filled with traditional crafts, jewelry, spices, and colorful textiles. After soaking in the vibrant energy of this historic souk, return to your hotel for a restful evening.

Wander through the famous Hypostyle Hall, known for its towering columns adorned with intricate carvings. Next, visit Luxor Temple, a majestic structure built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II, featuring a grand pylon entrance and the Avenue of Sphinxes.
After your tour, check in to your Nile cruise, where you’ll enjoy lunch on board. Spend the rest of the day relaxing and savoring a delicious dinner in the evening.
