Tour to the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids
The Pyramids of Giza:
We considered Giza Plateau is one of the most enduring prehistoric monuments in the world.
It houses the three great pyramids (those of Cheops, Khafre and Menkaure) and at least six others, as well as several other important monuments, including the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple.
The Great Pyramid:
The oldest and largest of the pyramids were built by the 4th-Dynasty Khufu (2589-66BC).
It is estimated to contain over two million blocks of stone weighing on average around 2.5 tonnes, with some stones at the base weighing as much as 15 tonnes. Until the 19th century, it was the tallest building in the world.
The Great Sphinx:
Giza Sphinx carved from an outcrop of natural rock, augmented by shaped blocks around the base, added during repeated renovations from the 18th Dynasty onwards.
The Valley Temple:
Khafre’s Valley Temple stood on a quay and served as a gateway to the pyramid, connected by a long, mostly covered, causeway.
Buried in the sand, this was discovered by Auguste Mariette in 1852 and traces of it can still be seen today.
At the next stop, you will be amazed by the Egyptian Museum containing thousands of genuine artefacts, Statues and a priceless collection of Egyptian art. The most incredible being the full exhibit of King Tutankhamun, including the gold treasures found in his tomb in 1920.
Lastly, you will visit Khan El Khalili, at Khan al-Khalili it is home to the coppersmiths’ market and an assortment of workshops. Further along are shops selling a miscellany of coffee-house equipment such as tin-topped tables and sheeshas, before finishing with the garlic and onion stalls near Bab al-Futuh.

Visit the High Dam, Lake Nasser
the Aswan Dam was built by the British between 1898 and 1902. At the time of its construction, it was the largest dam in the world, and its height was twice raised again in an effort to control the river. The roads to Abu Simbel and the airport cross the dam and the views over the river and islands are stunning.
Stretching south more than 500 km (310 miles) from the High Dam and reaching depths of over 180 m (590 ft), Lake Nasser is the largest artificial lake in the world.
Crocodiles thrive in Lake Nasser, it’s one of the most important tourist attractions in the Lake, Crocodiles hunting is prohibited by Egyptian Law.
you will visit the Philae Temple
As the center of the cult of Isis, the island of Philae was an important place of pilgrimage for worshippers until long into the Christian era. From Philae, Isis was said to watch over the sacred island of Biga, one of the mythical burial sites of her husband Osiris.
From here, a long courtyard, flanked by colonnades, leads to the magnificent Temple of Isis, the main building in the Philae temple complex.
To the west of the temple lies the Gate of Hadrian, which was inscribed, in 24th August AD 394, with Egypt’s last hieroglyphics. On the eastern side of the island, the small Temple of Hathor contains reliefs of musicians, among them Bes, the god of singing.
Further south, close to the edge of the water, is the classically graceful, 14-columned Kiosk of Trajan, which has scenes of the Roman emperor burning incense in front of Osiris and Isis. At the northern end of the island, the Temple of Augustus and Gate of Diocletian lie in ruins.

Surrounded by fields of sugarcane and corn, Kom Ombo is a pleasant agricultural town, home to many Nubians displaced by the creation of Lake Nasser.
This unusual structure is the result of the temple’s dedication to two gods – the left side to the falcon god Haroeris (Horus the Elder) and the right side to Sobek, the local crocodile god.
The Chapel of Hathor, just to the south of the temple, now houses a few crocodile mummies from the nearby crocodile necropolis.

The City of Edfu & The Temple of Horus at Edfu
Edfu stands beside the Nile almost exactly halfway between Luxor and Aswan.
The Temple of Horus at Edfu, which was buried under sand and silt for nearly two thousand years, is the largest and best-preserved Ptolemaic temple in Egypt. Construction of the temple began under Ptolemy III Euergetes in 237 BC and the main temple complex took 25 years to complete.
Upon arrival Luxor, you will stop at the East Bank to visit
The Temple of Karnak
that is how it combines the achievements of many ancient builders & Pharaohs. It actually comprises a vast mix of ancient Egyptian decayed Temples, Chapels, and many other buildings. Inside it, you will find 3 main Shrines of Amun-Re, Mut, and Khunso on about 247 acres of Land.
Then, you will visit Luxor Temple
There is more history in every square meter in this terrific temple which was constructed about 1400 BCE and unlike the rest of the temples which were constructed in ancient Egypt, it wasn’t dedicated to any cult god or any deified king in death but it was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship where many kings were crowned and the best time to visit this magical Temple is at night

Valley of the Kings
The remote, barren Valley of the Kings was the necropolis of the New Kingdom pharaohs. By digging their tombs deep into the Theban Hills, pharaohs from Tuthmosis I (c.1500 BC) on hoped to stop robbers stealing the priceless possessions buried with them.
But for all that, the structures themselves remain, their dramatic corridors and burial chambers stunningly adorned with symbolic accounts of the journey through the underworld and ritual paintings to assist the pharaohs in the afterlife.
and many different amazing Ancient Temple Monuments. In the Valley of the kings you will be taken back in time entering the tombs of the Pharaoh’s that contain painted pillars and walls.
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Against its stark mountainous backdrop, the partly rock-hewn Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir al-Bahri is a breathtaking sight. It was designed by Queen Hatshepsut’s architect Senenmut in the 18th Dynasty and is an extraordinary monument which rises from the desert plain in a series of imposing terraces.
The temple was damaged by Ramses II and his successors, and Christians later turned it into a monastery (hence the name Deir al-Bahri, which means “Northern Monastery”). However, the ongoing excavation of the site continues to reveal much exquisite decoration. Adjacent to the main temple are the ruins of the much older Temple of Montuhotep II, the ruler of the 11th Dynasty who managed to unite Egypt, and the 18th-Dynasty Temple of Tuthmosis III.
Then to see the Colossi of Memnon
Soaring 18 m (60 ft) into the sky, the two enthroned statues of Amenhotep III are the first monuments most visitors see on arriving in the West Bank.
They originally guarded Amenhotep’s mortuary temple – thought to have been the largest ever built in Egypt -which was plundered for building material by later pharaohs and gradually destroyed by the annual floods.
All that remains are the two faceless colossi, which, despite the ravages of time, are an impressive sight.
