Highlights
Giza: This needs no introduction! Marvel at the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. #bucketlist
Cairo: The world's largest archaeological museum complex is no joke. You'll find 100,000 artifacts here (including King Tut's ENTIRE treasure collection). You don't wanna miss this one...
Aswan: Spend a few nights aboard a luxurious river cruise – with views out over the Nile and a sun deck on board.
Aswan: Sit back and chill as you drift down the famous river on a traditional felucca sailing boat
Luxor: Grab your camera and explore one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites. See the tomb of Tutankhamun from the outside (with the option to add on exploring it from the inside!) and many other Egyptian pharaohs.
Hurghada: Check out these towering Pharaoh statues. They’ve stood guard since 1350 BC, even surviving natural disasters. And apparently one even ‘sings’ in the wind.
Luxor: Stroll through the mighty mortuary temple built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut. Don't forget to bring your camera! You'll definitely want to capture the perfectly symmetrical poles of the Porticos. This is also the spot where the Beautiful Festival of the Valley (celebrated to meet your ancestors) used to take place back in the middle ages.

My trip manager was absolutely amazing, was able to coordinate everything and more for us. Including any excursions you may not see on existing itinerary, he was a pro at.
