Day 1 Marsa Alam – Cairo Tour

You will be transferred from your hotel in Marsa Alam at 00:00 by an air-conditioned vehicle to Hurghada airport. The drive to Hurghada takes approximately 2.5 hours.

Next, we will visit the Egyptian Museum  in Tahrir Square. The museum houses over 250,000 rare and genuine artifacts dating back over 5,000 years. Among the most famous exhibits is the exclusive collection dedicated to Tutankhamun , which includes treasures, gold, and jewelry that were buried with him for over 3,500 years until they were discovered in 1922 when his tomb was excavated.

For an additional experience, if you wish to visit the Royal Mummy Hall, where you can feel as though you are strolling through the **Valley of the Kings** (the resting place of many of Egypt’s pharaohs and royals), your tour guide can take you to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization for an extra $40 per person.

Optional Tour: The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)  
The Grand Egyptian Museum , located near the Giza Pyramids, is currently in its trial opening phase (since October 2024). Visitors can explore several key sections of the museum, including the Great Hall, the Grand Staircase, and 12 main galleries showcasing artifacts from various Egyptian history periods. However, some sections, including the Tutankhamun Galleries remain closed and will only be accessible once the museum's full official opening occurs in the near future.

Afterward, you will fly to Luxor , where you will be transferred to your hotel, the Steigenberger Nile Palace, for the evening.

Luxor Tour Itinerary:
We will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor to visit some of the most iconic monuments in Egypt:

Karnak Temple:
No site in Egypt is more impressive than Karnak  . This vast temple complex is the largest ever built by mankind, representing the collective achievement of many generations of ancient builders and pharaohs. The Temple of Karnak consists of three main temples, several smaller enclosed temples, and outer structures, all spread across 247 acres of land.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant in Luxor . Afterward, you'll cross the Nile by motorboat to continue your journey.

Valley of the Kings:
The Valley of the Kings is the final resting place of Egypt's rulers from the 18th to 20th dynasties. Here, you'll find the tombs of great pharaohs, including Ramses II and the boy king Tutankhamun . These tombs were richly stocked with all the material goods needed for the afterlife, and the artwork and decorations inside are still remarkably well-preserved.

Hatshepsut Temple:
One of the most beautiful and best-preserved temples of Ancient Egypt, the Hatshepsut Temple is a true architectural marvel. The temple, built on three levels, features two wide ramps that connect the various sections. It stands as a testament to the grandeur of Egypt’s architecture.

Colossi of Memnon:
These two giant stone statues of King Amenhotep III are the only remnants of a complete mortuary temple. Made from quartzite sandstone blocks, the statues were originally transported 700 km from Cairo to Luxor and stand as imposing monuments to the pharaoh.
