6 Days Egypt Itinerary to Cairo, Luxor and Aswan

A private Egyptologist guide will lead you through the history of Egypt at the Necropolis of Giza, where you will visit the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, built during the golden period (2500 BC). The pyramids served as funerary tombs and as a symbol of the pharaoh's name, showing the rich history of the country.

The interiors of the Giza pyramids are mostly empty, solid masses of stone. The pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure have passageways at their bases that lead to tiny underground burial chambers beneath each pyramid, like many other ancient Egyptian pyramids. Although the burial chamber is located in the center of Khufu's pyramid and is accessed via a climb up a narrow interior passageway, it too has underground tunnels. Contrary to popular belief, none of the Giza pyramids contain mummies, treasures, or hieroglyphic texts. A few centuries after the construction of the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, interior decoration began. Additionally, in ancient and medieval times, any treasure would have been looted.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts, a monument constructed over 200 years ago. It showcases the pre-dynastic, early old, Middle and New Kingdom reigns of famous pharaohs, with the Golden King Tutankhamun exhibit being the most fascinating.

You will continue your educational tour of Coptic Cairo by taking a private car to a location known as Coptic Cairo, where you can see some of the oldest churches in both Egyptian and Christian history.

The Hanging Church of St. Mary, which was constructed suspended from two fortress towers, along with the Church of St. Sergius, or Cave Church, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, where the box of the infant prophet Moses was allegedly fished from the Nile, were some of the locations consecrated by the Holy Family's stay there. After or during your Cairo tour, savor a delicious lunch at a reputable restaurant.

Dinner, lunch, and breakfast

Start Aswan Day tours by traveling, followed by a leisurely breakfast on board your Nile Cruise boat. to see one of the largest construction projects in Egypt's modern history, the Aswan High Dam, One of the largest embankment dams in the world, the Aswan Dam or, more specifically, the Aswan High Dam, was constructed across the Nile in Aswan, Egypt, between 1960 and 1970. It surpassed the Chatuge Dam in the United States to become the tallest earthen dam when it was finished.[2] Its importance largely eclipsed that of the earlier Aswan Low Dam, which was initially built downstream in 1902. Based on the success of the Low Dam, which was then being used to the fullest, the Free Officers movement of 1952 made building the High Dam a top priority. The dam was seen as essential to Egypt's intended industrialization because it could better control flooding, provide more water storage for irrigation, and produce hydroelectricity.
