Tour plan

Day 01
Arrival in Cairo

Private airport transfer to your Cairo hotel. Welcome orientation with your Egypt Go Travel guide.

Day 02
Cairo to Aswan — Board Your Nile Cruise

Fly to Aswan. Visit the iconic Aswan landmarks before boarding your cruise ship:

▸ Aswan High Dam: A modern engineering masterpiece completed in 1970, the Aswan High Dam controls the Nile's floods and generates much of Egypt's electricity. The views of Lake Nasser from the dam are spectacular.

▸ Granite Quarries & the Unfinished Obelisk: A massive ancient obelisk still embedded in the quarry, abandoned 3,500 years ago — offering a unique window into ancient engineering methods.

▸ Temple of Philae: A beautifully restored temple complex on an island in the Nile, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temples were painstakingly relocated stone-by-stone to save them from rising Nile waters.

Board your Nile Cruise for lunch and sail towards Edfu.

Day 03
Cruise — Temple of Horus at Edfu & Kom Ombo

▸ Temple of Horus at Edfu: Egypt's best-preserved ancient temple, dedicated to Horus the falcon god. Its towering entrance pylon and detailed reliefs make it one of the most impressive examples of Ptolemaic Egyptian architecture.

▸ Twin Temple of Kom Ombo: A unique double temple perched dramatically above the Nile, equally dedicated to two gods: Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris (Horus the Elder). An on-site museum displays ancient mummified crocodiles.

Day 04
Cruise — Luxor West Bank

▸ Valley of the Kings: The royal burial ground of Egypt's most powerful New Kingdom pharaohs, where over 60 decorated tombs have been discovered, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramesses VI, and Thutmosis III.

▸ Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: The dramatic mortuary temple of ancient Egypt's greatest female ruler, cut into the Theban cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. Queen Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for 20 years and is celebrated as one of its most successful pharaohs.

▸ Colossi of Memnon: Two towering 18-metre statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood watch over the Theban necropolis for over 3,400 years, now one of Luxor's most photographed landmarks.

Day 05
Luxor to Cairo — Pyramids & Egyptian Museum

Disembark your cruise and fly to Cairo. Spend the afternoon discovering Cairo's greatest landmarks:

▸ Egyptian Museum of Antiquities: Home to over 250,000 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization — including the breathtaking Tutankhamun treasure room, royal mummies, and priceless golden jewelry.

▸ Great Pyramids & Sphinx: The last remaining wonder of the ancient world — three iconic royal tombs rising from the Giza Plateau, built over 4,500 years ago. The Great Pyramid of Cheops is the tallest and most colossal structure ever built by human hands. A complimentary camel ride around the Pyramids area is included.

✦ Optional: Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids.

Day 06
Departure

After breakfast, transfer to Cairo International Airport for departure.
