Giza Pyramids and The Sphinx 

Our first stop today is the Giza Pyramids. You'll stand on the legendary Giza plateau, where the great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure rise proudly from the golden sands. 

Coming eye-to-eye with these timeless monuments is a memory that sticks — it’s like opening a doorway to Egypt’s most powerful and glorious era.

 Next up is the mighty Sphinx — a legendary figure carved with the body of a lion and the face of a man, watching over the pyramids for thousands of years.

Its powerful stare and finely carved details will leave you speechless, wondering how it’s stood the test of time for thousands of years. 

The   10 Days Round Trip Nile Cruise and Pyramids is a unique trip in a royal atmosphere.

Lunch Break

We’ll stop at a special tourist restaurant for a delicious lunch. You’ll taste unique Egyptian dishes that will satisfy you and give you energy to keep going.

The Egyptian Museum – Where Ancient Treasures and Golden Faces Live On

 Once we've explored the pyramids, we’ll make our way to the Egyptian Museum located in the heart of Tahrir Square. As soon as you walk in, it’s like stepping into a completely different time and place — full of wonder and stories. 

The place is filled with statues, coffins, mummies, and items preserved in amazing condition for thousands of years. 

 A major highlight is the hall showcasing King Tutankhamun’s remarkable treasures — a true window into royal life.

 Inside the museum, history isn’t just something you see — it’s something you feel come alive around you. And your guide will be right there, explaining every detail and answering any question on your mind.

The Hanging Church & Ben Ezra Synagogue

After diving deep into ancient civilization, we’ll shift to a peaceful, spiritual side of Cairo. First stop is the Hanging Church, built over an old Roman gate, with wooden structure and beautiful Coptic art. 

As soon as you enter, there’s a deep sense of peace and spirituality that surrounds you.

Next, we’ll visit the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of Egypt’s oldest Jewish landmarks. Though its exterior is modest, its walls hold deep stories of harmony among different religions that lived side by side in Cairo for centuries.

Al-Hussein and Khan El Khalili

Evening’s getting close? To end the day, we must visit Al-Hussein’s timeless streets where Cairo’s old-world charm and traditions come alive. 

We’ll wander narrow historic lanes, listen to the call to prayer echo from Al-Azhar Mosque, and soak in the spiritual energy that fills the air.

We’ll stop for a moment in front of Al-Hussein Mosque and soak in the history from every corner.

From there, we head to Khan El Khalili — and that’s a whole world of its own! You’ll find everything: accessories, spices, copper goods, perfumes, rugs, and handmade treasures. 

To complete the vibe, we’ll sit at El-Fishawy Cafe — the oldest cafe in Egypt — sip mint tea or black coffee while the sound of the oud drifts through the crowd. 

That moment, right there, will become one of your most unforgettable memories from the whole trip.

The Overnight Train to Luxor

After wandering all around Cairo and soaking in its spirit and history, we’ll take you to the train station to begin your journey to Luxor. 

The overnight train is air-conditioned, with cozy cabins, clean beds, and dinner and breakfast served onboard.

The night will be quiet, and the countryside views outside your window feel like scenes straight out of a movie.

 Short on time but want to catch the must-see highlights? The   5 Days Cairo to Luxor Tour Packages pack all the essentials into one unforgettable adventure.

After a calm night on the sleeper train from Cairo, we arrived at Luxor station early in the morning, full of excitement to continue our journey through the ancient Pharaonic civilization that's still alive in every detail. 

As soon as you step off the train, our representative will be waiting for you with a big smile and warm Egyptian hospitality. 

He’ll help you with your luggage and take you to your comfortable vehicle to start your tour of the most beautiful places in Luxor. 

On the train, you had a light breakfast including warm sandwiches and a hot drink to start your day full of energy. 

Valley of the Kings – Tombs Inside the Mountain That Tell Kings’ Stories

The first stop today is the Valley of the Kings, a place that holds the greatest tombs of Egypt’s ancient kings deep within the heart of the Theban mountain. 

As you enter the valley, you’ll feel a strange awe, as if stepping into another world. 

These tombs are carved inside the mountain—not just any carving, but intricate, artistic work that narrates every detail of life after death in ancient Egyptian belief. 

 The walls are alive with vibrant paintings and clear hieroglyphs that have defied time — standing bright even after thousands of years —a miracle in itself. Among the most famous are the tombs of Tutankhamun, Ramses II, Ramses IX, and many more. 

Each tomb has passageways, chambers, and vivid artwork showing their journey to the afterlife, the gods they encounter, and the treasures they carry. 

Temple of Hatshepsut 

 After that, we explore Queen Hatshepsut’s temple—an awe-inspiring masterpiece carved right into the West Bank cliffs at Deir el-Bahari.

 The temple’s structure is unlike any other—it’s built on three levels that rise upward, like climbing the royal steps of glory. 

As soon as you stand before it, you’re struck by its beauty, symmetry, and the way it blends perfectly into the surrounding mountain. 

 This temple stands as a tribute to a powerful woman who led Egypt like no man could in her time — she became Pharaoh and left her legacy carved in stone for all time.

Inside, you’ll find her statues wearing the royal crown, and walls illustrating her trading voyages to the land of Punt, her coronation, and her connection to the god Amun. 

The place has an incredible energy, and every corner tells you, “See how brilliant this woman was!” That’s why this temple is one of the top attractions in the West Bank—a must-see experience to truly appreciate.

Colossi of Memnon 

After that, we’ll stop by the Colossi of Memnon—two massive statues standing alone in an open field, as if guarding time itself.

These statues date back to King Amenhotep III, and each one stands around 18 meters tall! Standing beneath them makes you feel tiny next to their greatness. 

They were carved from a single block of stone and placed here to guard a grand temple that once stood behind them, now long gone.

In ancient times, people believed one of the statues “spoke,” especially at dawn due to the cracks that made sound when the stone expanded with temperature—so the Greeks named it “The Singing Memnon.” 

The area is open and breezy, and you’ll see tourists from all over the world amazed by the beauty, simplicity, and majesty of these statues.

Lunch

We’ll take a short break at an Egyptian-style tourist restaurant to enjoy a hot and tasty meal featuring Egyptian dishes like clay pot stews, grilled chicken, and vermicelli rice—perfect for recharging before we continue.

Luxor Temple – An Architectural Gem Breathing History in the City Center

 We’ll wrap up the day with a visit to Luxor Temple — a magnificent site nestled right in the center of Luxor, glowing with ancient beauty.

It’s often called “the open-air museum” because it showcases history from many different eras. 

As you enter, the first thing you’ll see are giant statues of Ramses II welcoming you, followed by towering columns that reach up to the sky—each one carved with stunning hieroglyphs.

The temple was built for celebrations like the Opet Festival, and you can still see depictions of the grand procession from Karnak to Luxor Temple carved on the walls. 

You’ll also find a massive courtyard, obelisks, and sacred chambers—all carved with breathtaking precision. 

The most magical moment is visiting during sunset, when the golden light of the sun wraps around the pillars, making you feel like you’re part of a story from ancient times.

If you dream of a full trip to the most beautiful cities, try the  10 Days Cairo, Aswan, Luxor & Hurghada Overland Tour and enjoy a complete adventure between history and beaches.

The day starts very early, but believe me, it’s worth every minute! At exactly 3:30 AM, you’ll wake up to the sound of your alarm and the smell of your light breakfast, packed neatly in a box just for you.

 You're about to head off on an adventure you’ll never forget—to one of the most magnificent and important Pharaonic temples in Egypt: Abu Simbel!

The 3.5-hour journey from Aswan takes you across silent desert landscapes, but it’s the soft glow of sunrise lighting up the horizon that truly makes the ride unforgettable

. As the first light hits the golden hills, the view feels straight out of a film—calm, colorful, and unforgettable.

Abu Simbel Temples – Ramses’ Legend Carved in Stone

When you arrive at Abu Simbel, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another world—like time froze the moment these giant statues were carved into the mountains. 

In front of you are two temples carved completely into the rock, one for King Ramses II and the other for his wife Queen Nefertari.

At the temple entrance, four towering statues of Ramses—each nearly 20 meters high—sit with powerful presence, as though they’ve stood watch over ancient stories for centuries.

Inside, you’ll find carvings and drawings that tell stories of battles, Ramses’ divine status, and scenes of devotion to the four universal gods: Ptah, Ra-Horakhty, Amun-Ra, and Ramses himself.

What’s even more special is the solar phenomenon that happens only twice a year when the sun enters the temple and lights up specific statues—an unbelievable moment. 

Every corner of Abu Simbel tells a story of love, power, and human genius that was ahead of its time by thousands of years.

Return to Aswan – A Peaceful Ride with the Southern Breeze

After your tour ends, you’ll hop back into your comfortable air-conditioned van and begin the ride back to Aswan. 

This time, the ride feels calmer—you’ll spend it staring at the vast desert or chatting with your friends about the magical experience you just had… or maybe just taking a quick nap after a long morning.

Lunch

Before heading to the station, we’ll stop at a cozy local restaurant in Aswan for a quick and tasty lunch—maybe grilled chicken with rice and salad, or a warm plate of koshari to fill you up before the rest of the journey.

End your southern adventure in comfort

 After soaking in Aswan’s charm, head to the station and settle into the sleeper train. It’s your overnight escape—a comfy cabin that carries you gently through the 14-hour trip to Cairo.

Dinner Time

 Enjoy your onboard dinner, then relax as the train rocks you to sleep, passing quiet towns and villages—your thoughts still filled with the magic of southern Egypt.

On the fifth day of the 8 Days New Year Tour in Egypt, we start our day very early — but trust me, this kind of tiredness has a different taste. 

This adventure is one of the highlights of the 8 day trip to Egypt, and it leaves unforgettable memories in the heart.

Departure is around 3:30 in the morning, and you’ll take a proper breakfast box with you on the road. You ride in a comfortable air-conditioned car. 

The journey from Aswan to Abu Simbel takes about three and a half hours through the quiet desert, but once the sun starts rising over the sandy mountains, you’ll feel like you're in a scene from a historical movie.

Today, we’ll visit one of the greatest temples of ancient Egypt, then head back to Aswan and take the train to Cairo for an overnight stay. Let’s walk through the journey step by step:

Abu Simbel Temple

Abu Simbel Temple isn’t just a historical site… it’s an artistic masterpiece carved by time through the hands of the Pharaohs.

 As soon as you arrive, you’ll see four giant statues of Ramses II sitting as if guarding the place. Each statue is about 20 meters tall, and just standing in front of them gives you a real sense of greatness.

The temple has two main parts — one honors Ramses II, while the other is devoted to four powerful deities: Ptah, Ra-Horakhty, Amun, and Amun-Ra. Each section reflects deep religious meaning and royal pride.

The most beautiful thing about this temple is that it's not just an architectural masterpiece — it's also an engineering miracle, especially after it was entirely relocated in the 1960s during the construction of the High Dam.

If you’re looking for Cairo and Luxor Tours in New Year, or need a special experience from the 8 Days Cairo and Nile Cruise Tour, visiting Abu Simbel will be one of those memories you’ll always love to tell. 

Aswan Train Station 

After returning from Abu Simbel to Aswan, you take a quick breath and get ready for the train journey to Cairo.

Here, the station isn’t as crowded as those in Cairo, and everything is organized. We take you in an air-conditioned car straight to the station, and you board the train, which feels like a moving hotel.

The overnight train (sleeper train) takes about 14 hours to reach Cairo. You spend the night in a clean cabin with a comfortable bed. 

While enjoying your dinner on the train, you can look out the window and see peaceful villages and quiet towns roll by, with the calm night wrapping everything in a soft, dreamy glow.

And finally, we’re back in Cairo! After days full of adventures between Luxor and Aswan, today starts with the smell of a delicious breakfast served on the sleeper train. 

The journey is nearly over, but the day still has stories to tell. As soon as the train arrives at Giza Station, a friendly representative from Egypt Online Tour will be waiting with a big smile and a warm welcome.

He’ll drive you in their private vehicle straight to your hotel in Cairo, where you’ll be able to check in as soon as possible so you can rest a bit after the long trip.

But if you still have energy and want to keep exploring, there are a few amazing optional excursions you can take today. 

Step Pyramid of King Zoser 

If you choose to head out to Saqqara, then you're stepping into a place where it all began! The Step Pyramid of King Zoser isn’t just Egypt’s earliest—it’s the world’s first major stone structure, marking the beginning of monumental architecture as we know it!

The place sits in the middle of the desert, but it holds a strange spirit. You’ll feel like you’ve traveled thousands of years back in time, witnessing how the Pharaohs first began building for eternity. 

The pyramid is layered in six steps, each one with its own story, and it was built to bury King Zoser, who dreamed of being close to the sky even after death.

The 10 Days Round Trip Nile Cruise and Pyramids will make you really enjoy it!

Memphis City

And if you decide to continue your trip to Memphis, trust me—you’ll be amazed! Memphis was once the first capital of a united Egypt, nestled in the fertile land along the Nile’s banks where history began. 

Visiting Memphis feels like standing at the very first page of the history book.

Its most famous feature is a huge statue of Ramses II, lying on its back, filled with intricate detail—from the expression on his face to the inscriptions on his chest. 

There’s also a beautiful smaller Sphinx statue, along with many artifacts from the Old Kingdom.

Memphis was once a city full of life—with temples, markets, and a strong role in Egypt’s trade, politics, and religion. Today, its ruins still whisper stories more powerful than any textbook.

Today, you have the freedom to choose: either spend your day in Cairo and enjoy some rest, or seize the chance and go on a special full-day trip to the Bride of the Mediterranean, Alexandria! 

And this is not just any city—this is a place at the heart of history, blending ancient civilization with the warm soul of Egyptian streets.

From the moment your trip starts in the morning until the sun sets, every moment in Alexandria will leave a mark on you. Fresh air, the sea filling you with energy, and a city where every corner tells a story.

 The entire tour will be in a comfortable air-conditioned car, and you’ll have a guide who knows every inch of the city and will explain the history of each place you visit as if you lived it. 

 Prepare yourself for a day packed with energy, insight, and memories that will stay with you forever!

Qaitbay Citadel 

First, we will take you to Qaitbay Citadel, one of the strongest fortresses ever built on the Mediterranean. 

This citadel was built in 1477 AD by Sultan Qaitbay, on the exact spot where the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood—one of the Seven Wonders of the World!

From the moment you enter, you’ll feel the scent of past eras.The thick walls, the arrow slits, and the rooms once used by soldiers—all details that make you feel like you’re inside a live historical film.

And when you climb up the walls, you’ll see the sea all around you—a view that makes you take a deep breath and feel peace. 

The place also has small souvenir vendors where you can buy a memory. Qaitbay Citadel is not just a building; it’s a story of bravery, history, and nobility. 

Library of Alexandria

 Once we wrap up at the citadel, we make our way to a modern marvel — the new Alexandria Library, a true icon of knowledge and culture in Egypt.

This place is not just a library—it’s a scientific and cultural monument containing more than 8 million books, along with exhibitions, museums, art halls, and a planetarium.

The outside view grabs your attention immediately, with its tilted disc-shaped design, as if it’s the sun of knowledge rising again from the sea. And inside? It’s spacious, bright, and inviting you to dive into a world of books and culture.

The library also has a museum about its ancient history, which was burned long ago, telling the story of how it was revived. 

Even if you’re not a fan of reading, you’ll find yourself amazed by the organization, design, and activities happening inside. 

The Roman Catacombs

 Then we move on to Kom El Shoqafa, home to Alexandria’s mysterious and impressive Roman Catacombs — a one-of-a-kind site carved deep into the rock.

This entire burial site is carved beneath the ground and divided into corridors, burial rooms, and incredibly detailed statues. 

As you descend the long spiral staircase, you truly feel like you’re going down into the belly of the earth—a journey between life and death. 

You’ll see statues blending Pharaonic and Roman art, wall carvings, and large burial chambers indicating that those buried here were of high status during the Roman era.

The whole place is silent and mysterious, yet also grand and artistically rich. 

Return to Cairo and Overnight Stay

After a long day full of adventures and discoveries in the most beautiful winter by the sea, we’ll return comfortably to Cairo, and you’ll be dropped off straight at your hotel. 

Enjoy a calm night and rest after a full day so you’re ready for the rest of your trip with us.

On the morning of the eighth day, you’ll wake up to the last breakfast of your trip—a different kind of breakfast, not because of the food itself, but because of the emotions in it. 

You’ll find yourself replaying every beautiful moment you lived in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and every place where you walked and saw a civilization thousands of years old right in front of your eyes.

Today is farewell day, but it’s not a real goodbye… it’s the moment that marks you becoming part of a story called “A Journey in the Heart of Egypt.”

After breakfast, we’ll be ready to arrange your transfer to the airport, and everything will be perfectly organized so that your departure is just as smooth and comfortable as the start of your journey.

Our driver will be waiting for you outside the hotel in the air-conditioned car you’re used to, and he’ll assist you with everything from your luggage to the airport gate. 

Our representative will be following up with you step-by-step to bid you farewell with a smile and say: “See you again… Egypt will always welcome you with an open heart!”
