After the cruise, return to your hotel for a comfortable overnight stay in Cairo, ready for an exciting day of discovery ahead.
Start an unforgettable day of discovery as part of your 4 Days Cairo and Abu Simbel Family Tour, exploring Cairo’s most iconic landmarks. After breakfast, set out with your guide to experience the wonders of the Giza Pyramids Complex and the world-class Grand Egyptian Museum — a day filled with stories, legends, and moments your family will remember for years.
Giza Pyramid Complex:
Visit the legendary plateau that is home to the three Great Pyramids — Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure — along with ancient tombs and ruins that bring the glory of ancient Egypt vividly to life.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu:
Marvel at this extraordinary engineering masterpiece, the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Standing beside it allows you to truly grasp its immense scale — something no photograph can ever fully capture.
The Great Sphinx:
Behold the legendary Great Sphinx, with its lion’s body and human head, silently guarding the pyramids for over 4,500 years and sparking curiosity and wonder for visitors of all ages.
The Valley Temple:
Explore the ancient Valley Temple, where royal mummification rituals once took place. Walk through massive stone halls and admire the towering walls adorned with beautifully preserved hieroglyphic carvings.
The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM):
Discover one of the world’s most impressive museums, housing over 100,000 artifacts, including the complete treasures of King Tutankhamun displayed together for the first time — an inspiring and educational experience for the entire family.
After completing your sightseeing tour, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before transferring to Cairo Airport for your short domestic flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and unwind by the Nile, preparing for the next chapter of your family adventure.
Start your Egypt family adventure early in the morning as your 4 Days Cairo and Abu Simbel Family Tour takes you on a remarkable journey to one of Egypt’s most awe-inspiring archaeological treasures. After breakfast, travel with your guide through the desert landscapes toward the legendary Abu Simbel Temples.
Abu Simbel Temple:
Built by Pharaoh Ramses II more than 3,000 years ago, this extraordinary temple complex is carved directly into a sandstone cliff overlooking Lake Nasser. The site is world-famous for its four colossal seated statues guarding the entrance and for its incredible solar alignment phenomenon, where sunlight illuminates the inner sanctuary twice each year — a powerful moment that amazes both children and adults alike.
After exploring Abu Simbel and taking time to absorb its grandeur, enjoy lunch before returning to Aswan Airport for your flight back to Cairo. Upon arrival, you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel for a comfortable overnight stay.
After breakfast, transfer to Cairo International Airport for your international departure.

What travellers say after touring Egypt with us.
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.
