The last standing wonder of the ancient world sits on a desert plateau a few minutes from our hotel. Your Egyptologist explains how three generations of kings turned limestone into eternity, and where to stand for the classic panorama.
The world’s largest museum dedicated to one civilisation. Climb the Grand Staircase lined with royal statues, meet the colossus of Ramses II in the atrium and see the complete Tutankhamun treasure displayed together for the first time.
Djoser’s Step Pyramid is the first monumental stone building in history. Around it lie painted noble tombs whose wall scenes show farming, fishing and feasting 4,500 years ago.
Unpack once and let the river do the rest. Days are spent visiting temples, afternoons on the sun deck watching palm groves, villages and fishermen slide past.
One of the most complete temples in Egypt, famous for its blue astronomical ceilings and the stairs to a rooftop chapel with views over the countryside.
The holy city of Osiris. Seti I’s temple has some of the finest reliefs of the New Kingdom and the famous King List naming the pharaohs who came before.
The largest religious complex ever built grew over 2,000 years. Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall, a forest of 134 giant columns, and stand beside the obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut.
The best-preserved temple in Egypt, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. Its walls tell the story of Horus’ battle with Seth, and its towering pylon is unforgettable.
Ramses II carved two temples into a mountain near the Sudanese border, guarded by four 20-metre statues of himself. In the 1960s the whole site was cut into blocks and lifted to safety – an epic worth the early start.
Our representative meets you inside the arrivals hall, helps with your visa and luggage and drives you to your hotel in Giza. Depending on your arrival time, relax on the roof terrace with your first view of the pyramids.
