Egypt 6-Day All-Inclusive Tour Classic

Your Cairo and Nile Cruise experience begins after your sumptuous breakfast at your hotel. You will meet your private Egyptologist guide from TRAVIAZ, who will accompany you throughout the day.

Your tour starts at the Giza Pyramids Complex, home to the world-famous pyramids built during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty. Explore the biggest and oldest of the three pyramids, the Great Pyramid of Khufu constructed between 2580- 2560 BC. Once risen to a height of approximately 146 meters, this remarkable monument embodies the genius of engineering and architectural accuracy with which ancient Egypt was built.

This will be followed by a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which houses a brilliant collection of artifacts that spans over 5000 years of Egyptian history, including highlights such as the Hanging Obelisk, the monumental Statue of King Ramses II, and the impressive Grand Staircase. With the help of your TRAVIAZ guide, you will know more about the ancient Egyptian civilization, royal traditions, and architectural achievements. Optional VIP entry gives the opportunity to enjoy the museum more with extra exclusive exhibits.

After lunch, you will visit the historic Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo. The Egyptian Museum houses a brilliant collection of artifacts that spans over 5000 years of Egyptian history. Among its priceless treasures are artifacts that had remained undiscovered for over 3,500 years, until the 20th century, when most of them were discovered. The biggest and most valuable collection of ancient Egyptian art can be found in this museum, and it offers a unique and personal glimpse into the life, beliefs, and accomplishments of this great civilization. With your expert guide by your side, the stories behind these masterpieces will vividly come to life.

In the evening, our professional team at traviaz will transfer you to Cairo International Airport for your domestic flight to Aswan. 

When you get to Aswan, you will check in aboard your deluxe Nile cruise, where you can unwind and enjoy the peaceful scenery of the Nile River. This marks the beginning of a memorable journey through Upper Egypt.

Meals Included: Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner
Flight: Cairo to Aswan
Accommodation: Overnight onboard the Nile Cruise

Your journey begins after you have enjoyed a delicious breakfast onboard the cruise ship.

Your first stop will be the Aswan High Dam. A landmark of modern Egyptian engineering. The dam was completed in the 20th century and is very important for controlling floods along the Nile, generating hydroelectric power, and creating one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, Lake Nasser.

Next, you will visit the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient granite quarries of Aswan. This obelisk was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut and was meant to be the tallest obelisk in the history of its construction. During its carving, cracks were found that led to the abandonment of the project, leaving behind the rare and valuable experience of the ancient Egyptian method of stone-cutting.

Continue your tour to the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis. Dating back to the Greco-Roman period(380-362 BC), this temple is closely associated with the myth of Osiris, his death at the hands of Set, and his resurrection through the devotion of Isis. Philae Temple is, to this day, one of the most ambient and eye-catching places along the Nile.

After a day rich in history and discovery, you will be transferred by TRAVIAZ to the cruise ship for lunch and dinner as you continue sailing along the Nile.

Your first stop will be the Temple of Kom Ombo. This distinctive double temple dates back to the Ptolemaic period and was dedicated to two deities, Sobek, the god of crocodiles, and Horus, the god of the falcon. The reliefs that are preserved in it provide interesting details on ancient Egyptian medicine, rituals, and everyday life.

You will be marveled at its magnificent carvings and the intriguing on-site Crocodile Museum that sheds light on the sacred role these animals played in ancient belief systems.

The symmetrical design embodies the ancient Egyptian concept of balance and duality.

You'll find some remarkable reliefs inside the temple that show ancient surgical and medical instruments.

You will then continue to the Temple of Edfu, devoted to the falcon god Horus. The temple is considered to be one of the well-preserved temples in all of Egypt.

The temple has a monumental pylon entrance, a spacious open courtyard, and grand hypostyle halls. The reliefs and hieroglyphs are so detailed that they bring to life the ancient Egyptian mythology of the legendary battle between Horus and his uncle Seth. Your professional Egyptologist guide from Traviaz will explain the religious significance, symbolism, and architectural brilliance that make Edfu Temple one of Egypt's most important sacred sites.

In the evening, the Nile cruise will sail toward Luxor. Enjoy your lunch and dinner on board as you relax and take in the tranquil river scenery. Arrival in Luxor will be late at night, and you will spend the night onboard.

After your sumptuous breakfast, you will meet your expert Egyptologist guide and set off to the Valley of the Kings, the royal cemetery of the New Kingdom ( 1550-1070 BC). Here, you will explore a selection of richly decorated underground tombs belonging to powerful pharaohs such as Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II. Your guide will tell you about the burial practices, the carvings on the walls, and the beliefs regarding the afterlife that defined this great period in the history of ancient Egypt.

After this, you will visit the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. This stylish terraced temple was constructed in the 15th century BC to honor one of the most successful female rulers of Egypt. The temple itself, as well as its reliefs, were dedicated to the god Amun and were designed not only with the motives of religious worship but also with the heritage of Queen Hatshepsut as a mighty pharaoh. You will then make a nearby stop at the towering Colossi of Memnon, two massive seated statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that once guarded the entrance to the Theban necropolis. These iconic monuments have stood on the Theban plain for over three millennial and they remain one of Luxor's most recognizable landmarks.

After this, you will take a scenic boat ride across the river to have a relaxing lunch on a Nile island. 

In the afternoon, you will visit the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex, which is dated back to the year 1971BC and 20BC, the largest religious site ever built.
