The Giza Pyramids Complex:

The Giza Plateau is Egypt’s most famous archaeological site, featuring the colossal pyramids built during the Fourth Dynasty. The nine pyramids stand as lasting evidence of architectural genius and cultural significance, continuing to captivate researchers and travelers alike.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

The most iconic wonder of the ancient world, built by Pharaoh Khufu around 2600 BC, renowned for its precise cardinal alignment and masterful engineering—features that still inspire mystery and awe today.

The Great Sphinx:

Built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (c. 2500 BC), the Great Sphinx stands as the eternal guardian of the plateau. This monumental limestone statue—lion’s body with a human head—symbolizes royal strength, wisdom, and protection.

The Valley Temple:

An extraordinary structure of massive limestone and granite blocks, once used for purification and mummification rites. Its design features causeways and chambers, with statues of Khafre discovered on-site.

The Egyptian Museum:

Home to tens of thousands of treasures that showcase Egypt’s ancient civilization—royal artifacts, statuary, mummies, jewelry, and pieces spanning multiple eras—making it an unparalleled cultural hub for history enthusiasts.

Khan El Khalili Bazaar:

Founded during the Mamluk era, Cairo’s most vibrant marketplace invites you to wander colorful alleys, shop for unique souvenirs, and capture beautiful photos—an authentic cultural experience.

After completing your tour, you will be transferred to Cairo Airport to catch your flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, check in to your 5-star hotel for an overnight stay in Aswan.

Meals: Lunch

Early in the morning, enjoy your breakfast boxes before meeting your private tour guide for a transfer by private vehicle toward Abu Simbel—one of Egypt’s most iconic monuments and a centerpiece of this 3 Days Cairo, Abu Simbel & Luxor Trip from Makadi Bay experience.

Abu Simbel Temples:

Located on the western bank of Lake Nasser, the twin rock-cut temples commissioned by Ramesses II in the 13th century BC feature colossal statues and exquisitely carved reliefs. In the 1960s, the complex was carefully relocated to save it from rising waters—an extraordinary feat of modern engineering that preserved a timeless symbol of ancient grandeur and innovation.

After completing your tour, you will be escorted back to Aswan for lunch. Later, board a 1st-class train to Luxor, where you will check in to your 5-star hotel for an overnight stay.

Meals: Breakfast and Lunch

After breakfast and checking out from your hotel, begin your guided exploration of Luxor’s majestic landmarks—witnessing the most iconic monuments of ancient Thebes—before your return to Makadi Bay to conclude your 3 Days Egypt Highlights from Makadi Bay.

Karnak Temple:

The largest and most significant ancient religious complex in the world, developed over two millennia and dedicated primarily to the Theban triad—Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Walk through pylons, courts, the Great Hypostyle Hall, obelisks, and the Sacred Lake, then note the historic link to Luxor Temple via the Avenue of Sphinxes.

Valley of the Kings:

The main necropolis of New Kingdom pharaohs: a desert valley that hides richly decorated tombs designed with inscriptions and vivid artwork to guide the dead through the afterlife—one of the world’s most celebrated archaeological wonders.

Queen Hatshepsut Temple:

Built in 1479 BC to honor Amun and to glorify her reign, this masterpiece rises gracefully from the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, showcasing the ambition and sophistication of New Kingdom architecture.

Colossi of Memnon:

Two monumental statues of Amenhotep III (c. 1350 BC) standing at the entrance of his mortuary temple. Ancient visitors marveled at the dawn “singing” phenomenon—now explained by temperature changes within the stone.

After enjoying lunch, you will be driven back to your hotel in Makadi Bay, concluding your 3 Days Cairo, Luxor & Abu Simbel Tour from Makadi Bay filled with unforgettable memories of Egypt’s ancient wonders.
