Itinerary

Welcome to the land of the Pharaohs! Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, you’ll be greeted with a World Travel Path representative that aligns perfectly with your flight schedule.

One of our professional representatives will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name for easy recognition. After a warm welcome, you’ll be escorted to a private, air-conditioned vehicle for a comfortable transfer to your hotel.

Settle in and enjoy your first evening in Cairo, a city where ancient history meets vibrant modern life.

Overnight: Cairo

After breakfast, meet your professional Egyptologist guide in the hotel lobby for a journey through 5,000 years of history.

Begin at the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the monumental Great Pyramid of Khufu—the only remaining wonder of the ancient world—alongside the Pyramid of Khafre and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure. 

Stand before the enigmatic Sphinx, whose lion’s body and human face have guarded the plateau for millennia, and explore the Valley Temple, where rituals of kingship and preservation once took place.

Pause for a delicious lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant before heading to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)—Egypt’s newest cultural landmark. 

Inside, discover thousands of priceless artifacts, including treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb, colossal statues, delicate jewelry, and ancient tools that reveal the craftsmanship of Egypt’s dynasties. 

The museum’s modern design and thematic galleries guide you chronologically through Egypt’s history, making the past feel alive.

Return to your hotel in Cairo for a relaxed evening.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Overnight: Cairo

Enjoy breakfast before setting out on a full-day excursion into the origins of Egypt’s monumental architecture.

Start at Saqqara, the vast necropolis of ancient Memphis. Here, the Step Pyramid of Djoser—designed by the genius architect Imhotep—marks the first large-scale stone construction in history. 

Stroll through ancient courtyards and passageways as your guide reveals how this innovative design transformed royal tomb building.

Continue to Memphis, the first unified capital of Egypt, where the open-air museum showcases the colossal statue of Ramses II and the magnificent alabaster sphinx, relics of the city’s powerful past.

Conclude at Dahshur, a quieter yet equally fascinating site. See the Bent Pyramid, whose unusual angle tells a story of ancient engineering challenges, and the Red Pyramid—the first true smooth-sided pyramid, a precursor to the wonders of Giza.

Return to Cairo for the evening.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Overnight: Cairo

After breakfast, transfer to Cairo Airport for your domestic flight to Luxor—ancient Thebes and the “world’s greatest open-air museum.”

Meet your local guide and begin with Karnak Temple, a vast complex built over two millennia. Wander through the Hypostyle Hall, where 134 massive columns tower above, each intricately carved with lotus and papyrus designs symbolizing Upper and Lower Egypt.

Walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes to Luxor Temple, a stunning example of Egyptian artistry and religious devotion. Marvel at statues of Ramses II, explore grand courtyards, and admire reliefs that depict ceremonial processions and divine rituals.

After your explorations, check into your hotel in Luxor and enjoy a leisurely evening along the Nile.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Overnight: Luxor

Cross the Nile after breakfast to the West Bank, burial ground of Egypt’s most legendary rulers.

Explore the Valley of the Kings, where elaborately decorated tombs of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun and Ramses VI lie hidden beneath the desert hills. The colorful wall paintings and hieroglyphic inscriptions reveal vivid stories of the afterlife.

Continue to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural marvel carved into limestone cliffs, honoring Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh. 

Stroll through its terraces and admire reliefs depicting her divine birth and successful trade expeditions.

Stop briefly at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues that have stood as silent sentinels for over 3,000 years.

In the late afternoon, transfer to Luxor Airport for your return flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, enjoy a private transfer to your hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Overnight: Cairo

Enjoy a final breakfast at your hotel before your private transfer to Cairo International Airport for your departure flight.
