The tour is full of unique once in a lifetime experiences, but there are three overall highlights.

The Largest Monuments in the World

This tour takes you to Giza, where you will be met by a local archaeologist to lead you on an expedition to visit one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, the Pyramids of Giza. You will learn about the fascinating history of the pyramids and be shocked by their size. You will then marvel at the iconic Great Sphinx, one of the largest and oldest monuments in the world.

Luxor

Home to a vast majority of Egypt’s antiquities, Luxor is often referred to as the world's greatest open-air museum. This city, parted by the Nile, has been visited by travellers for centuries. Even the Greeks and Romans would travel to see the treasures that lie here. Its immense number of monuments is incredible. There’s the famous Valley of the Kings which boasts 63 royal tombs, each more elaborate than the next…and Karnak, a vast complex of temples and gigantic statues including the Temple of Amun, known to be the largest religious building ever constructed. Luxor will bring you back to ancient times while you are awed by the wealth of its leaders and the skill of its people.

Cruise the Nile River

Each night will be a themed dinner including a sound and light show at the Karnak Temple, a traditional galabaya party and a folkloric show featuring a belly dancing performance. You will not run out of things to see!
