After breakfast, check out from the hotel and meet your tour guide to finish the 2-day Cairo and Luxor from Aswan excursion by seeing the tourist sites in Old Cairo such as:

Giza pyramid complex

The Giza pyramid complex is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world and is a true reflection of the greatness of the ancient Egyptian civilization. It has a history of more than 400 years and consists of three main pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the great Egyptian guardian, the glorious Sphinx, and the Valley Temple.

The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last surviving tower of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was built in 2580 BC in 20 years with 2,300,000 limestone blocks weighing 2.5 tons each and a workforce of 100,000 skilled artisans. The Great Pyramid rises at 147 meters (481 ft), making it the tallest structure in the world at 3,800 years old. However, due to its complex interior design compared to its gigantic size, it remains a mystery.

The Great Sphinx of Giza

The Sphinx is a mysterious giant warrior sent from heaven. It is in the form of a mythical beast known as the Sphinx with the body of a lion and the head of a man, most likely King Khafra, to show strength and intelligence. Measuring 73 meters (240 ft) long and 20 meters (66 ft) wide, the Great Sphinx was carved from a single limestone rock in less than three years with the help of about 100 trained workers for free.

Valley Temple

It was built during Egypt’s Old Kingdom (2686-2134 BC) and is one of the best-preserved monuments and a rich source of knowledge about the mummification process in ancient Egypt. It is composed entirely of limestone and granite and contains stunning diorite carvings of King Khafre.

Lunch will be served at Pyramids Nile View Restaurant with your tour guide, after which you will visit:

Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum contains the world’s most extensive collection of rare ancient Egyptian artifacts and antiquities, dating back more than 4,500 years and spanning the entire history of ancient Egypt, in addition to several mummies and other exhibits. Inside the two-story building are some 120,000 objects ranging from expensive items such as gold, silver, and rare jewels to simple materials such as wood or stone in the form of sculptures, funerary objects, and supplies such as King Tutankhamun’s riches.

Transfer to Cairo Airport to catch your return flight to Aswan, ending your two-day vacation in Luxor and Cairo.
