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 timeless secrets.

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 Tour Package 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 standing as a powerful reminder of 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 impressive site connected to ancient purification and royal funerary rituals. This sacred place reveals how the ancient Egyptians prepared their kings for eternal life and reflects the precision of Old Kingdom architecture.
After the morning tour, enjoy lunch at a high-quality Egyptian restaurant before heading to one of Egypt’s newest and most spectacular museum experiences.

Wake up to a beautiful morning on your Nile Cruise and enjoy breakfast onboard before starting another remarkable day of your Easter Nile Cruise in Egypt. Today, your private Egyptologist will guide you through the most breathtaking attractions of Aswan, where ancient beauty, peaceful Nile scenery, and timeless monuments come together.
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, quarrying techniques, and royal 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 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, one of the most peaceful moments of your 9 Days Easter Tour.
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 in Egypt adventure. Today, you’ll visit two of the most remarkable temples along the Nile, each filled with mythological stories, sacred symbolism, and stunning ancient 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, detailed carvings, and fascinating medical inscriptions offer a rare glimpse into the daily life, rituals, 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 mystical atmosphere of Kom Ombo.
Edfu Temple:
Continue sailing to Edfu and visit the Temple of Horus, one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient sanctuaries. Built during the Ptolemaic period, it commemorates the mythical battle between Horus and Set, while its towering pylons, beautifully carved reliefs, and massive columns immerse you in the grandeur 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, adding a festive touch to your Easter Tour in Egypt.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Day 5: Luxor East & West Bank Temples
After breakfast, disembark from your Nile Cruise and begin exploring the ancient city of Luxor — a true open-air museum filled with timeless wonders. This enriching day of your 9 Days Cairo, Nile Cruise & Hurghada Easter Tour Package takes you through 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 more than 2,000 years to develop. Dedicated mainly 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 through its grand courts, sacred chapels, towering pylons, and ancient ceremonial spaces, where pharaohs once celebrated religious festivals and left their mark on one of Egypt’s greatest temple complexes.
Valley of the Kings:
Cross to the West Bank and explore the Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs. Its richly decorated tombs reveal powerful scenes of the afterlife, sacred rituals, and the beliefs that shaped ancient Egyptian civilization.
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 Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood for more than 3,000 years as silent guardians of the Theban Necropolis.
Enjoy lunch during your Luxor sightseeing before continuing the journey. This is one of the most powerful historical days of your Egypt Easter Nile Cruise Tour, blending royal tombs, sacred temples, ancient art, and the timeless magic of the Nile.
After the tour, travel by private air-conditioned vehicle to Hurghada and check into your 5★ resort for a relaxing evening by the Red Sea.

Why us ? Reviews
I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
Marian was absolutely wonderful!! She was a wealth of knowledge . She guided us to important parts of each temple and tomb.Letting us know what the meaning for the particular inscription.
We had Ayoub as our tour guide, he was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgable on Egypt and spoke English well. He also has a personality that is very easy to get along with and made our trip enjoyable
I went to Egypt recently and I had as a guide Mr Mohamed El Shemei which was excellent and made our experience amazing. He knew so much of Egypts history and he filled us with information however making sure it wasn’t boring.
