Sound and Light Show at Giza Pyramids:
Experience one of Cairo’s most famous evening attractions — the Giza Pyramids Sound and Light Show. This spectacular performance uses lights, narration, and music to bring ancient history to life, telling the story of the pharaohs under the night sky beside the Great Pyramid.
Watch as the Pyramids and Sphinx glow beautifully in the darkness while the voice of the Sphinx narrates tales of ancient Egypt’s kings, builders, and secrets. After the show, enjoy a delicious dinner at a quality local restaurant before returning to your hotel for a restful overnight stay in Cairo.
Meals: Dinner.
Day 2: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx & Grand Egyptian Museum
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel, then start your second day of the 9 Days Cairo, Nile Cruise & Hurghada Easter Holiday by joining your private Egyptologist guide to explore one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — the legendary Giza Plateau.
Giza Pyramids Complex:
Discover the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids, masterpieces of ancient engineering and eternal symbols of Egyptian civilization. Built around 2600 BC for the kings of the 4th dynasty, the complex includes the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure — each a monument to royal ambition and divine design.
The Great Sphinx:
Stand before the mysterious Sphinx, the guardian of the Giza Plateau, carved from a single limestone block. With the body of a lion and the face of Pharaoh Khafre, it embodies wisdom, strength, and the spiritual power of ancient Egypt.
The Valley Temple:
Continue to the Valley Temple, an exquisite site built for mummification rituals and the famous “Opening of the Mouth” ceremony. This sacred place reveals how the ancient Egyptians prepared their kings for eternal life.
After the morning tour, enjoy lunch at a high-quality Egyptian restaurant before heading to Egypt’s newest and most spectacular museum experience.
The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM):
Step into the Grand Egyptian Museum, a modern gateway to more than 50 centuries of history. Here, ancient treasures — including the complete collection of King Tutankhamun — are displayed with advanced lighting and storytelling, making your visit a true highlight of your Easter Egypt Tour Package.
By evening, you’ll be transferred to Cairo Airport for a short flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, check into your luxurious 5★ Nile Cruise and enjoy dinner onboard as your ship gently drifts along the river under the starlit sky.

Day 3: Explore Aswan’s Timeless Wonders
Wake up to a beautiful morning on your Nile Cruise and enjoy breakfast onboard before starting another remarkable day of your 9 Days Egypt Easter Nile Cruise Tour including Cairo & Hurghada. Today, your private Egyptologist will guide you through the most breathtaking attractions of Aswan, where ancient beauty and serene landscapes meet.
Philae Temple:
Start your day with a visit to the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis — a symbol of love, healing, and magic. Relocated stone by stone to Agilkia Island during the UNESCO rescue mission, it remains one of Egypt’s most atmospheric and spiritual sites.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, ordered by Queen Hatshepsut. Measuring 41.75 meters and weighing around 1,000 tons, this colossal monument would have been the largest obelisk ever built if it hadn’t cracked during carving. It provides rare insight into ancient Egyptian stonework and ambition.
Aswan High Dam:
End your sightseeing at the High Dam, one of modern Egypt’s greatest engineering accomplishments. Constructed in the 1960s to control flooding and generate hydroelectric power, it offers spectacular panoramic views over Lake Nasser and the Nile Valley.
Return to your Nile Cruise for lunch and enjoy a relaxing afternoon sailing toward Kom Ombo. Spend your evening onboard, admiring the golden sunset and savoring the serene atmosphere of the Nile during your Easter holiday.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
Day 4: Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Exploration
Enjoy breakfast aboard your Nile Cruise as you continue your Easter Nile Cruise Egypt adventure. Today, you’ll visit two of the most remarkable temples along the Nile, each filled with mythological stories and stunning architecture.
Kom Ombo Temple:
Sail to Kom Ombo to explore this unique twin temple dedicated to two ancient deities: Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility, and Horus the Elder, god of the sky. The temple’s symmetrical design, intricate carvings, and fascinating medical inscriptions offer a glimpse into the daily life and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.
Visit the small Crocodile Museum nearby, where dozens of mummified crocodiles are displayed — a rare and captivating sight that adds to the temple’s mystical aura.
Edfu Temple:
Continue sailing to Edfu and visit the Temple of Horus, one of Egypt’s best-preserved sanctuaries. Built during the Ptolemaic period, it commemorates the mythical battle between Horus and Set. The towering pylons, beautifully carved reliefs, and massive columns immerse you in the majesty of the pharaonic world.
After your visit, return to the cruise to enjoy lunch and relax as you sail toward Luxor. In the evening, delight in a special Easter-themed dinner onboard, celebrating your journey through the heart of Egypt.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
Day 5: Luxor East & West Bank Temples
After breakfast, disembark from your cruise and begin exploring the ancient city of Luxor — a true open-air museum filled with timeless wonders. Today, you’ll visit both the East and West Banks, home to some of the most iconic monuments of ancient Egypt.
Karnak Temple:
Start at the monumental Karnak Temple, a magnificent complex that took over 2,000 years to complete. Dedicated to the Theban Triad — Amun, Mut, and Khonsu — it features the Great Hypostyle Hall with 134 colossal columns that continue to inspire awe to this day.
Walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, connecting Karnak to Luxor Temple, and feel the energy of the pharaohs who once celebrated grand religious festivals here.
Valley of the Kings:
Cross to the West Bank and descend into the Valley of the Kings, where Egypt’s greatest pharaohs were laid to rest. Discover the vividly painted tombs of Seti I, Ramses II, and the legendary boy king Tutankhamun — each revealing the secrets of the afterlife.
Hatshepsut Temple:
Visit the stunning Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable rulers. Carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this elegant structure reflects her power, artistry, and devotion to the gods.
Colossi of Memnon:
Stop by the mighty Colossi of Memnon — two massive statues of Amenhotep III that have stood for over 3,000 years as guardians of the Theban Necropolis.
This is one of the most enriching days of your 9 Days Egypt Easter Nile Cruise Tour including Cairo & Hurghada, blending history, art, and the magic of the Nile. After the tour, travel by private A/C vehicle to Hurghada and check into your 5★ resort for a relaxing evening by the Red Sea.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
Day 6: Snorkeling Adventure in Hurghada
Enjoy a leisurely morning breakfast at your Hurghada resort, then get ready for a day of fun and discovery as part of your 9 Days Egypt Easter Vacation. Today’s program takes you beneath the surface of the Red Sea to experience one of the most beautiful coral reef systems in the world.
