2 Days Cairo & Luxor Tour from Makadi Bay – Private Guided Tour

Prepare yourself as your driver picks you up from your hotel to Hurghada Airport for a flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, meet your personal Egyptologist guide to begin your exploration—an inspiring first day of your 2 Days Cairo & Luxor Tour from Makadi Bay:

Giza Pyramids Complex:

The Giza Necropolis—home to the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Great Sphinx—stands among the world’s most famous archaeological sites. Built during the 4th Dynasty, the complex also features temples, tombs, and monuments that continue to fascinate travelers and historians alike.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

Known as the Pyramid of Cheops, it is the largest of the pyramids and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built during the Fourth Dynasty, the Great Pyramid remains a marvel of ancient engineering and an enduring symbol of Egypt’s grandeur.

The Great Sphinx:

Carved from a single block of limestone, the mythical Sphinx combines a lion’s body with a human head wearing a royal headdress. Believed to represent King Khafre, it stands as a powerful emblem of strength and wisdom.

The Valley Temple:

Part of Khafre’s funerary complex, this temple was used for purification rites and the “opening of the mouth” ceremony. Exceptionally well preserved after centuries under the sand, it offers a rare glimpse into ancient rituals.

The Egyptian Museum:

Housing over 120,000 artifacts—including treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb, royal mummies, and masterpieces spanning multiple eras—the museum is one of the world’s most important collections of ancient history.

Khan El Khalili:

This bustling Mamluk-era bazaar has long been a center for trade and culture. Wander its alleys to shop for souvenirs and traditional crafts, and capture memorable photos of Cairo’s timeless atmosphere.

At the end of your tour, transfer to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor. On arrival, our representative will escort you to a 5★ hotel for an overnight stay—rounding off the first day of your 2-day trip to Cairo & Luxor from Makadi Bay in comfort.

Meals: Lunch

After breakfast and hotel check-out, begin a full-day tour exploring the timeless wonders of Luxor—another rich chapter of your 2 Days Cairo & Luxor Tour from Makadi Bay:

Karnak Temple:

Among the largest and most impressive religious centers ever built, Karnak began around 1970 BC and is dedicated to the Theban triad—Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. It is famously linked to Luxor Temple by the Avenue of Sphinxes, showcasing the brilliance of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship.

Enjoy a delightful lunch at a Nile-view restaurant before continuing to the West Bank.

Valley of the Kings:

The royal burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs (1550–1069 BC), dominated by the pyramid-shaped peak of Al Qurn. With 63 decorated tombs, this “Great Necropolis of Millions of Years of Pharaoh” reveals vivid texts and scenes guiding kings into the afterlife.

Queen Hatshepsut Temple:

Built in 1479 BC and dedicated to Amun, this mortuary temple immortalizes one of Egypt’s greatest rulers. Terraces rising from the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari reflect the elegance and ambition of New Kingdom architecture.

Colossi of Memnon:

Two monumental statues of Amenhotep III (c. 1350 BC) that once guarded his mortuary temple. They became famous for a dawn “singing” phenomenon—now explained by temperature changes within the stone.

At the end of your sightseeing, your guide will transfer you back to Makadi Bay by private vehicle, concluding your 2 Days Cairo & Luxor Trip from Makadi Bay with lasting memories.
