3 Days Cairo Tour from Luxor by plane

We’ll escort you to Luxor Airport for your flight to Cairo, where you'll meet your guide and begin your 3 Days Cairo Tour from Luxor by exploring:

Giza Pyramids Complex:

The Giza Pyramids Complex is a shining symbol of human creativity and relentless industry. This monumental site stands as a tribute to humanity's limitless potential and the extraordinary heights of our achievements.

The awe-inspiring Great Giza Pyramid Complex, the celestial Giza necropolis, the royal burial ground for the ancient Egyptian kings, the enigmatic Sphinx guards these majestic structures, and it also casts its protective gaze over the noble workers' village, a bustling hub that once housed several small industrial complexes and numerous cemeteries.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

The Great Pyramid is considered one of the seven wonders of the world. It was constructed by Pharaoh Khufu from the fourth dynasty, and it is counted as the tallest man-made structure in the world. The main target of establishing the pyramid was to act as a royal tomb for the pharaoh. The Great Pyramid is globally well-known.

The Great Sphinx:

The Great Sphinx is a legendary monument in Giza, believed to have been commissioned by King Khafre of the Fourth Dynasty. Carved from a single massive block of limestone, the statue features the body of a lion and the face of a man wearing a royal headdress, symbolizing the strength and authority of ancient Egyptian kings.

The Valley Temple:

The Valley Temple in Giza, located near the Nile and adjacent to the Great Sphinx, was built for King Khafre. It served as a key part of the royal funerary complex, used for the mummification and purification of the deceased pharaoh.

The temple was connected to Khafre’s pyramid and the Sphinx by a ceremonial causeway known as the procession route.

After proceeding to a local restaurant for lunch, you will continue to:

Grand Egyptian Museum:

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is one of the largest museum development projects in the world, and it will be the largest archeological museum in the world once completed. Located next to the Giza Pyramids, the Museum will host over 100,000 artifacts that belong to the ancient Egyptian civilization.

The Museum will also be hosting permanent exhibition galleries, temporary exhibitions, special exhibitions, a children's museum, and virtual and large format screens with a total floor area of 32,000 m².

Saqqara Step Pyramid:

Djoser’s Step Pyramid in Saqqara is one of Egypt’s most iconic monuments—and rightfully so. It constitutes a significant historical turning point in ancient Egyptian funerary monuments, revolutionizing stone architecture and royal burials. In addition to its beauty and monumental scale.

It is not only the very first pyramid that the ancient Egyptians ever built, but also the oldest known ancient Egyptian stone structure. The Step Pyramid is composed of six stacked mastabas, thus creating the stepped effect. Imhotep, its architect, may very well have been responsible for this major innovation.
