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.
Saladin’s 12th-century fortress crowns a hill above the city. Inside, the Ottoman-style Mosque of Muhammad Ali glows with alabaster, and the terrace offers one of the widest views over Cairo.
Reached by a short motorboat ride, the island temple of Isis was rescued from the rising Nile and rebuilt stone by stone – one of the most romantic settings in Egypt.
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.
A rare double temple shared by the crocodile god Sobek and Haroeris, standing right on the riverbank. A small museum next door displays mummified crocodiles.
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.
Hidden in the Theban hills, the royal necropolis holds more than sixty tombs. Your ticket covers three of them, with colours that still look freshly painted; Tutankhamun’s tomb can be added.
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.
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.
