Saqqara, located south of modern Cairo on the west bank of the Nile, extending over an area of
more than 6 km in length and more than 1.5 km in width. It was once part of a larger cemetery
system that spanned the modern sites of Giza. Stop for lunch, perfectly timed to try Egyptian food.
Then you will continue to visit the three great Pyramids and their guardian Sphinx. The Giza
pyramid complex is considered the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the World and
stands on the Giza Plateau. It rises from the desert as a beacon of power, inspiration, history, and
mysteries. Enjoy a short camel ride on the pyramid plateau, then we will visit The Sphinx, standing
there guarding the plateau, with a lion's body and a human head, originating from a pearl of great
wisdom that the protectors of the land should enjoy for the wisdom of men and physical strength of
the lion king. Return to the hotel for overnight.

Day 04 The massively cut temples of Abu Simbel

Take the breakfast box and a new adventure is about to begin. We will take you by our tourist
vehicle to Abu Simbel to visit the complex "The massively cut temples of Abu Simbel,"
originally carved into a rock face in southern Egypt, located at the second cataract of the Nile. The
two temples that make up the site (The Great Temple and The Small Temple) were created during
the reign of Ramses II (c. 1279 - c. 1213 BC), either between 1264 - 1244 BC or 1244 - 1224 BC.
The discrepancy in dates is due to different interpretations of Ramses II's life by modern scholars.
Due to the extensive artworks inside the Great Temple, it is certain that the structures were created,
at least in part, to celebrate Ramses' victory over the Hittites at the Battle of Kadesh in 1274 BC.
Stop for lunch, return to Aswan, free evening to explore the local market of Aswan, famous for its
spices. Overnight at the hotel.
Meals: Breakfast-Lunch / Overnight: Basma Aswan Hotel or similar

Temple or Sobek Temple," known for its perfect symmetry. The Temple of Kom Ombo is located
on a prominent headland overlooking the Nile. Commissioned by Ptolemy VI in the 1st century BC,
the structure was later expanded by other rulers and then largely fell into disrepair before French
archaeologists restored it in the late 19th century. Look at the detailed friezes and hieroglyphs on
the temple walls, dedicated to the gods Horus and Sobek, or see hundreds of preserved crocodile
mummies displayed in the on-site museum. Continue our visit to the "Horus Temple," located in
Edfu, it consists of traditional elements of New Kingdom Egyptian temples, along with some Greek
elements, such as the Mamisi, which is located west of the main entrance of the temple (Mamisi
means "house of divine birth"). It consists of an entrance, a courtyard, and a chapel. The walls of
the Mamisi are decorated with scenes showing the story of the divine birth of Horus, the child, in
the presence of the goddess Hathor, the god Khenoum, and other deities who dealt with pregnancy
and birthday view and relax. After this great journey; Luxor will arrive. Stop for lunch, check-in

architecture. Hatshepsut's Temple is located on the west bank of the Nile opposite the city of Luxor
(ancient Thebes) and is part of the Theban Necropolis. This memorial temple, built in a semicircle
of cliffs, marks the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. Djoser Djeseru (Holy of Holies) is the name
of the main building of Hatshepsut's Temple. Visit "The Valley of the Kings," considered a royal
cemetery with 64 tombs located on the west bank in Luxor. The only entrance to this site was a
long, narrow, winding path. This was a secret place where guard posts were set up at the valley
