Begin your day with breakfast at the hotel, later meeting your guide. You will then get to see the historical wealth of the antique city of Cairo. Starting at the Giza Plateau, you can look at the Great Pyramid of Cheops and the famous exhibit of the treasures of Tutankhamun, while seeing the grandeur and richness that the boy king was privileged to witness.

After lunch at one of the local restaurants, you will take a tour in Coptic Cairo to see some of the historical sites, of which the Hanging Church is enormously symbolic of beautiful carvings on top of a Roman fortress.

One unforgettable hot air balloon ride (optional) to witness the first brush strokes of daylight across the sky could start the day for you. Soar gently far above the majestic ancient city of Luxor viewing a panoramic vista of the Nile, the immense desert and the great temple of the West Bank. See the sun make its way from the back of this cradle of civilization with a golden crown that will then illuminate the same monuments that you will get to explore in detail later during the day.

After a scrumptious breakfast in the comfort of your hotel, your competent, English-speaking guide will welcome you for your first day of West Bank orientation. This vast area, located across the Nile on its western shore, served as the necropolis for the pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom.

Tucked in the shadows of UNESCO's World Heritage distinction, the deeper valley plays host to the intricate tombs of pharaohs of the 18th through to the 20th dynasties. Wander college-sized tombs carved out of rock with colorful hieroglyphics and murals that represent the pharaoh on his journey in the afterlife. Those who do will notice exquisite details and will likely try to think of the treasures that would have been buried alongside these mighty rulers. Visits to some of these truly amazing tombs are dependent on the day, and this might or might not include the legend of Tutankhamun.

Breakfast.

After a delicious breakfast, your guide will take you to the well-preserved Ptolemaic Temple and the greatest intact temple remnants from ancient Egypt, the Temple of Edfu, which is devoted to the ruler of heaven, the falcon-headed God Horus. Visit the mesmerizing Temple of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to several deities like as the crocodile God Sobek and Haroris.
