9 Days Egypt New Year Vacation

Your first day in Egypt will be a mixture of excitement and anticipation. As soon as you touch the ground, you'll sense that a great adventure awaits you. This 9-day trip will begin in the heart of Cairo, a vibrant city filled with stories around every corner.

Morning: Welcome to the best 9 days egypt new year vacation packages  

You arrive at Cairo Airport, your eyes darting in all directions. Suddenly, you see a sign reading "Egypt Online Tour." Behind it, a smiling face says, "Welcome... Your journey begins now."

The reception will be very organized, and you will quickly get into the air-conditioned car. We will head to the hotel. Cairo, shining from the window under the morning sun, is as if saying, "Prepare to be amazed."

Afternoon: Rest and light exploration

After arriving at the hotel, we will check-in smoothly, and you will realize that everything has been prepared for you. You will take your time and rest a little from the travel, then go out and walk around the hotel. The sounds, smells, and organized crowds all stimulate all the senses. This is where you will know that you have truly begun to experience the city.

Evening: The city lights never sleep

In the evening, you will decide to relive the moments of your first night in Cairo. The city will be full of life, from the cars traveling by... In all directions, the call to prayer rings out amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. The most important thing you'll feel is that this is the beginning of a story that won't end easily.

Today will be a truly remarkable day. It's not just a tour, but a journey through time, from the pharaonic treasures in the museum to the splendor of the pyramids. It's as if every moment whispers, "You are now part of a story that spans thousands of years."

Morning: The Grand Egyptian Museum

After a delicious breakfast at the hotel, our first stop will be the Grand Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. As soon as you enter, you'll feel as if you've entered a timeline: gilded coffins, colossal statues, jewelry and amulets, and messages written on papyrus thousands of years ago.

Each piece tells a story, and you'll often pause in front of the breathtaking beauty of Tutankhamun's golden mask. It'll be a sight that will allow you to appreciate the genius of a 5,000-year-old civilization.

Afternoon: The Pyramids

From the museum, we'll ascend the Giza Plateau, where you'll see the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Enormity, precision, and silent majesty, a place that speaks for itself.

And the unforgettable moment? Riding a camel, surrounded by a panoramic view of the pyramids. You'll feel like you're in an adventure movie—and indeed, it will be a true adventure.

Before we leave, we'll stand before the Sphinx, with its mysterious features and steady gaze, as if it were guarding time.

Evening: The tranquility of Cairo after a legendary day

We'll return to the hotel, physically exhausted but spiritually refreshed. A day filled with images and moments that will linger in your heart for a long time. The Cairo sunset will be the perfect moment for a quiet relaxation before another day of adventures.

Today, you'll feel like you've truly begun to experience the true meaning of the word "adventure." From Cairo Airport, you'll take a domestic flight that will fly you over the Nile, and from there, you'll truly descend into a completely different world: Aswan, the sun, the boats, and the monuments that tell stories immortalized on the walls.

Morning: Domestic Flight and Aswan at First Sight

After breakfast, you'll be transferred to Cairo's local airport. From there, we'll begin a short flight south to Aswan, the city of sun, warmth, and comfort.

Our first stop will be the High Dam, the engineering marvel that tamed the Nile. Afterwards, we'll head to the enchanting Philae Temple in the middle of the Nile, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The journey to the island is like a painting, and the temple itself looks like it came out of a mythical tale.

Afternoon: On Board the Cruise

After the tour, we'll head back to begin our adventure on a luxury Nile cruise. After settling into our private cabin, we'll go up to the rooftop, the fresh air playing with our hair. Lunch was delicious, and the view was beyond dreams.

We'll then slowly sail, passing between islands and watching life pulsate on both banks of the Nile: palm trees, fishermen, and green crops that contrast with the desert.

Evening - Kom Ombo

We'll arrive in Kom Ombo, where we enter a unique temple that unites two gods: Sobek, the god of crocodiles, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. The place has a special energy, and the carvings on the walls tell intricate details about the lives of the ancient Egyptians.

From there, we'll continue sailing toward Edfu, where the sky begins to immerse itself in a magical orange hue. Then, we'll have a quiet dinner on the deck, listening to the sound of the water lapping around us. We'll conclude the night in a quiet cabin in the heart of the south.

Each day of the trip, you'll descend a deeper layer into the heart of civilization. Today, you'll descend into its very heart, from enchanting Edfu to Luxor, the city dubbed "the largest open-air museum in the world."

Morning – Temple of Horus

We'll begin our day with breakfast on the deck of the boat amidst the soft morning breeze. Afterwards, we'll head in a traditional horse-drawn carriage to the Temple of Horus in Edfu, one of Egypt's best-preserved and most majestic temples.

As we enter through the giant gate, you'll feel how small you are before this magnificence: massive columns, delicate carvings depicting the struggle between good and evil, and the legend of the victorious Horus. A truly sacred moment.

Afternoon: Sailing towards the glory of Luxor

We'll return to the boat and begin sailing north toward Luxor. The road will be like a movie: small boats, camels walking along the shore, and a sunset dyeing the water a warm copper color. Lunch will be special as usual, and every moment of this trip will be etched in my memory like a painting.

Evening: Dinner in Luxor and a serene evening

We'll arrive in Luxor and walk peacefully through its streets, surrounded by soft lighting, a traditional atmosphere, the sound of the Nile in the background, and the stars above us, twinkling as if celebrating our arrival.

We'll have dinner on board the cruise, and the relaxation will be indescribable, and your heart will be ready for a new day filled with temples and legends in the most beautiful city in Upper Egypt.

Today will be an extraordinary day. You'll take your first steps into the world of the ancient dead. Instead of being a terrifying place, it will be awe-inspiring, filled with symbols and messages spanning thousands of years. West Luxor is more than just antiquities; it's an invitation to enter the mind of an immortal civilization.

Morning: Valley of the Kings

After breakfast on board the cruise, we'll begin our tour of Luxor's West Bank. Our first stop will be the Valley of the Kings, and as we walk along the sandy path, we'll feel closer to the secrets of the pharaohs.

We'll enter some of the tombs carved into the mountain. The inscriptions on the walls still retain their colors, as if the priests had just carved them two days ago. Each tomb will carry a message, and each symbol will be a mystery that will make you look at life and death from a completely different perspective. 

Noon: Hatshepsut and the Sun's Fingers on the Stone

Afterwards, we'll visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, or the Temple of Deir el-Bahari, which impresses with its rare architectural beauty, built over three levels in the bosom of the mountain. The temple blends femininity and power and pays tribute to one of the most powerful women to rule Egypt.

Before returning, we'll stand before the Colossi of Memnon, two seated giants, gazing at everything, silent for thousands of years. You sense they're watching each visitor and evaluating their journey.

Evening: Tranquility after Grandeur

We'll return to the cruise and have lunch on the deck. Today is heavy with history and grandeur, so the evening will be the perfect opportunity to relax and reflect on everything you've seen, as if the Nile itself embraces us with its calm after a storm of emotions and sights.

Some days we live and some days they soar among us!

Today will be one of those days when you'll literally be between heaven and earth, above a civilization thousands of years old. A different morning, where we not only witness history, but also soar above it.

Morning: Ballooning Above Glory

Before the sun even rises, we'll be ready for an exceptional experience: a balloon ride over Luxor.

We'll ascend quietly, and with the first breeze, we'll begin to rise, rising, until we see the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, and the Mountain of the Nobles beneath our feet, like a map engraved in the ground.

The silence in the sky has a sound, and your breathing will be the only one I hear. The sunrise will be a surreal palette of colors and shades, washing away the fatigue from my heart and engraving this moment in my memory forever. Afternoon: From Luxor to Cairo

After the hot air balloon ride, we'll have breakfast on the cruise, then bid farewell to the city and then head straight to the airport.

The flight will be short, but it will be enough to review all the sights and emotions I experienced from my first day.

Evening - Cairo Again

We'll arrive in Cairo again, but you'll feel like you're not the same person you were a few days ago.

The city is the same, but you'll have returned as a version of yourself, experiencing the beauty in a deeper way. A peaceful night awaits you in preparation for the conclusion of the great trip.

Note: The hot air balloon ride is optional and requires advance reservation.

I've always heard that Alexandria is different, but today you'll learn why they say that in practice and why it is always the best place for Egypt family vacation.

A city where you can walk by the sea and feel like you're stepping through time layers: from the era of the Greeks and Romans to the palaces of kings, and streets that retain the scent of the past.

Morning: From Cairo to the Bride of the Mediterranean

After a quick breakfast in Cairo, we'll head north in a comfortable car, along a beautiful coastal road. The air changes as we get closer to the sea.

The Library of Alexandria

Our first stop will be the New Library of Alexandria, a massive, breathtaking building with a modern design yet a sense of the past. It houses more than 8 million books. We'll also visit museums and open spaces, and you'll truly feel like you're at the heart of culture and knowledge. 

Noon: Between the Pharaohs, the Romans, and the Legends of the Sea

We'll continue our tour at the site of the ancient lighthouse, the legendary symbol of the city, then head to the Royal Gardens of Montazah Palace, a green paradise overlooking the blue sea. Home to the harem and selamlik palaces of the Egyptian royal dynasty, the beach there is truly a work of art.

Al-Mursi Abu al-Abbas

We'll then visit the Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque, with its tall white domes and magnificent Fatimid design. It'll be a moment of reverence and tranquility when we stand before the statue of Alexander the Great, next to the Unknown Soldier Memorial.

We won't forget to stop by St. Mark's Church, the oldest church in Africa, before concluding at the famous Stanley Bridge. Your camera will be rolling as you capture the beauty of the location.

Evening: The beauty of the sea at night and the spirit of the city

Before returning to the hotel, we'll venture into the old city center, where narrow streets, European buildings, classic cafes, the scents of the sea, and light Alexandrian cuisine are plentiful. Every corner tells a story. Alexandria will be more than a visit; it will be an unforgettable memory.

Today will be a chance to experience Cairo at my leisure, but also to take a step back—not just one, but thousands of years—into the heart of the civilization that began it all: Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis.

Morning: Return to Cairo with a Different Spirit

After breakfast, we'll board an air-conditioned car and head back to Cairo. Although today is designated "free," we decided to take the opportunity to visit lesser-known sites, but equally as magnificent as the Pyramids. We've selected a wonderful selection of Cairo's great attractions, and of course, you can change the day as you please.

Saqqara

Our first optional stop will be Saqqara, where you'll stand in awe of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest stone pyramid in the world. The entire place radiates a mysterious energy, as if you're standing at the beginning of the concept of "building for eternity." 

Afternoon: Memphis and Dahshur

Then we'll pass by Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, home to a colossal statue of Ramses II, lying as if asleep in royal tranquility.

The last stop will be Dahshur, where you'll see the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid, as if they were engineering experiments before arriving at Khufu's masterpiece! Walking around the pyramids there is more of a spiritual experience than just a sightseeing experience.

Evening: A quiet night in the heart of the capital

We'll return to your hotel in Cairo, where you'll have time to review everything you've seen, from the Nile in the south to the sea in Alexandria, to the Pyramid of Djoser, which opened a new door to understanding ancient Egypt.

Note: Visits to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur are optional at an additional cost.

Every beginning has an end, but this one is different. It's not the end of a journey; it's the beginning of a new story, with memories from every city, every inch we walked, and every moment we felt we were truly experiencing life.

Morning: Final Breakfast

You'll wake up today feeling like you didn't sleep, perhaps because your heart wasn't ready to say goodbye.

Your last breakfast in Cairo will be simple, but full of the flavor of the entire trip: the spices of the market, the aroma of dawn in Siwa, the whisper of the Nile in Luxor, and the scent of the sea in Alexandria.

Transfer to the airport - but not from my heart

An Egypt Online Tour representative will arrive on time, as always, with a warm smile and attentive service.

The luggage will be transported smoothly, and the procedures were simple, but inside your heart, there will be thousands of pictures fluttering around... from the white sands, to the temples, to the stars above our tent in the desert.

At the airport, you'll think that you've not only visited Egypt, but also touched its history, lived in the dreams of its pharaohs, and slept in the embrace of its desert.

If you're planning the trip of a lifetime, trust me, Egypt will open a door you won't close, and will make you feel like you've finally reconnected with a part of yourself you'd forgotten.
