Day 1

Cairo

Welcome to the land of the pharaohs — we’ll get you to
your hotel and you’ll spend the night in enchanting Cairo.

Day 2

Cairo • Pyramid Tour

Today you’ll leave bustling Cairo and head into the
desert…. We’ll travel to Memphis and view the
remains of the first capital of united upper and lower
Egypt. Saqqara is our next destination, site of the
earliest pyramid, the Step Pyramid of Djoser. It’s
architect, Imhotep, was considered a god…. You’ll
stand at the foot of the Great Pyramids and marvel
at the Sphinx — just as visitors have for 5000 years.
We’ll return to Cairo, share dinner and turn in for the
night. (B)

Day 3

Luxor

A short flight from Cairo will bring you to Luxor. You’ll

marvel at the stunning Temples of Karnak and Luxor;
our expert guide will bring to life the lives of the ancient
pharaohs as you walk through their resting places
in the Valley of the Kings

and the Valley of the

Queens. In a land of “big” architecture, the Temple
of Hatshepsut, the most celebrated female pharaoh,
never fails to fill one with awe. We’ll finish the day
viewing the Colossi of Memnon, all that remains of
the massive temple complex of Amenhotep III. Tonight
we’ll stay in Luxor. (B)

Day 4

Aswan

Early morning flight to Aswan. You’ll visit the Aswan
Dam, a modern engineering marvel in the land
that set the standard… this is the source of the
granite used in monuments throughout Egypt — an
unfinished obelisk serves as
poignant reminder of toll these
projects took. You’ll stand in
the exquisite Temple of Philae
and board a felucca to view the
tranquil gardens of Kitchner’s
Island and the Agha Khan
Mausoleum. You’ll spend the
night in Aswan. (B).

Day 5

Aswan • Cairo

After breakfast, we’ll transfer
to Aswan airport for your flight
to Cairo — upon arrival, let our

experts show you this amazing, vibrant city. The
Egyptian Museum will not only dazzle you with
ancient treasures, but bring you face-to-face with
pharaohs — Rameses II, Seti I, Amenhotep III. An
incredible opportunity to look upon the actual people
behind the history. You’ll explore the medieval
Citadel of Saladin and the beautiful Mohamed Ali
Alabaster Mosque. A true highlight of the day is a
walking tour of the 13th century covered market,
Khan El Khalili Bazaar – here is nothing that can’t
be bought here! We stay in Cairo tonight. (B)
