After completing passport and luggage procedures, a private air‑conditioned vehicle will take you to your hotel in the heart of Cairo.

You’ll be served a refreshing welcome drink, a perfect chance to relax and get to know each other while we go over the details waiting for you.

We’ll walk you through the entire Christmas tour plan — from Cairo to the desert, the Nile, and every amazing stop along the way. 

This first day is planned to be warm and smooth, making it not just the start of your journey but also your doorway into the wonders of Egypt — part of the 11 Day Trip to Cairo, Desert, Aswan, Luxor, and Hurghada that brings together everything American travelers dream of experiencing in Egypt.

This day marks your first real sightseeing in the 11-Day Christmas Egypt Tour Package, where you’ll dive deep into the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization. 

After enjoying a delicious Egyptian breakfast at your hotel, you’ll head out with your guide for a thrilling journey that blends pharaonic history. 

This isn’t just about pyramids and monuments, it’s like stepping into a historical movie where every stop has its own story. We’ll start with the Great Pyramids of Giza, continue to the iconic Sphinx, then explore the Egyptian Museum with its treasures of King Tutankhamun. 

Afterward, we’ll visit Coptic Cairo and its historic churches, and end with a flavorful local lunch before heading back to your hotel for some rest. 

This experience forms a key part of your 11 day Egypt itinerary Christmas, promising unforgettable memories.

The Giza Pyramids

Our first stop for day two is the Giza Pyramids, one of the most iconic landmarks in any Best Egypt Itinerary 11 Day for American Travelers.

Standing before the Great Pyramid of Cheops, you’ll feel the power of the ancient Egyptians who built this massive structure more than 4,500 years ago. 

Each pyramid has its own character: Cheops for grandeur, Chephren for strength, and Mycerinus for elegance. 

From a specific angle, you can see all three pyramids aligned perfectly against the backdrop of the Nile and the modern city, a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. 

This visit immerses you in the legends of the pharaohs and their afterlife rituals, setting the tone for the adventure that awaits in the rest of your 11-Day Christmas Egypt Tour Package.

For travelers who loved the festive vibe of this tour, the    8 Days Pyramids & The Nile by Air is a shorter option that still covers iconic temples and the Nile cruise.

The Great Sphinx  

Just steps away from the pyramids stands the Great Sphinx, a colossal statue with a pharaoh’s head and a lion’s body, guarding the royal tombs for thousands of years. 

Its presence is awe-inspiring, and as you gaze at its enigmatic expression, you’ll feel it whispering secrets of the past. 

Your guide will explain the symbolic meaning behind the Sphinx, why it was built in this form, and the mysteries surrounding its missing nose. 

The golden light of sunrise or sunset makes this spot perfect for memorable photos, adding an enchanting layer to your Christmas vacation in Cairo and Luxor experience.

The Egyptian Museum

After finishing our Giza tour, we head back to central Cairo to explore the world-famous Egyptian Museum. 

Inside, you’ll encounter the legendary treasures of Tutankhamun, including his golden mask, royal jewelry, and ancient furniture that still carries incredible detail despite being thousands of years old. 

Walking through its vast halls feels like traveling through time, as each gallery unfolds another chapter of Egypt’s rich history. 

Beyond artifacts, the museum connects you emotionally to the lives and beliefs of the pharaohs. This stop enriches your understanding of everything you’ll see throughout your Christmas Egypt desert safari 11 days adventure.

Lunch Time

On this day of our 11-Day Christmas Egypt Tour Package, we leave behind the busy city vibes and step into a completely different world, the White Desert! 

After an early breakfast to get you ready for a day full of adventure, you’ll ride in a 4x4 vehicle through soft sand where colors shift from golden to pure white. 

This desert isn’t just any desert; it’s an open-air natural gallery with rocks shaped like mushrooms, rabbits, and other strange forms that will leave you amazed, wondering, “How did nature create this?” 

This day is one of the highlights of the Christmas Egypt desert safari 11 days, giving you a sense of freedom and peace far from any noise and closer to the raw magic of Egypt’s nature.

The Bizarre Limestone Formations of the White Desert

In the heart of the desert, you’ll witness a scene you’ve never seen before: giant white rocks naturally sculpted into bizarre shapes. 

Some look like massive mushrooms, others like rabbits, and some resemble mythical creatures straight out of a storybook. At sunrise or sunset, the light transforms the white sands into a warm palette of colors, creating an otherworldly view. 

Your guide will explain how these formations took shape over millions of years, once part of an ancient sea that dried up and left this stunning landscape behind. 

If you enjoyed the desert part of this trip, our  Siwa Oasis Tour gives you an even deeper taste of Egypt’s wild landscapes.

Hot Springs Experience – Relaxation Amid Adventure

After exploring the rock formations, we’ll head to nearby hot springs in the oasis. Here, you’ll dip your hands or feet into naturally warm water bubbling from deep underground.
