Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Cairo. Upon arrival in Cairo, you are met at the airport by our representative and driven to your hotel by your private driver. Your entry visa and fast track through immigration are included. You then have the rest of the evening to settle into your hotel.
This morning, your private guide and driver will meet you at your hotel for a full-day tour of the pyramids at Giza and Saqqara. You will spend the morning touring the iconic pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx in a private golf cart with your private guide. Afterwards, continue on to Saqqara with your guide, where you will visit the oldest stone pyramid in history.
After breakfast, you are taken for a privately guided tour of the new Grand Egyptian Museum, which houses a wealth of Pharaonic treasures. In the afternoon, you get the chance to try a range of Egyptian and Cairene cuisine on a food tour led by local women through downtown. You will visit various food and beverage stops, and try Egyptian classics such as ta'amiya, ful, and kosheri, and juices such as sugarcane and tamarind. At the same time, you'll learn about life in Cairo as a woman from various socio-economic backgrounds.
After breakfast, you are driven to Cairo International Airport for a short flight to Luxor. A local Explorify representative greets you at the airport and transfers you to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure. You could enjoy the hotel’s facilities or spend some time exploring Luxor. Luxor Museum is worth a visit and is easy to explore independently. There, you will find a small but choice collection of statues and funerary goods from local temples and the Theban Necropolis.
Today, you have an early start for a full-day, privately guided tour of Luxor's West Bank. There are a range of unforgettable sights, including the Valley of the Kings, where you can enter a tomb to see the vividly preserved hieroglyphics. You continue to visit Hatshepsut's Temple, Colossi of Memnon and the temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu afterwards.
After a relaxing morning, you are picked up for the short drive to the imposing temples of Karnak and Luxor, on the East Bank. Your private guide explains how the Temple of Luxor at sunset is a particularly memorable, unmistakably Egyptian sight. Karnak Temple is also impressive and boasts 134 giant sandstone columns designed in the form of papyrus stalks. The rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure.
In the morning, you are picked up by your private driver and set off for your first stop: Edfu Temple. This journey takes around two and a half hours. Your private guide explains the significance of Edfu before you continue to Kom Ombo, the crocodile temple, which lies two hours south. You then continue to Aswan, your final stop, where you spend the last few nights of your trip.
Today you have a day at leisure to enjoy the laid-back charms of Aswan. You might want to visit the extraordinary Temple of Philae, browse the Nubian Museum or go shopping in the souqs. Alternatively, enjoy the facilities at your hotel and relax and unwind for your final full day in Egypt.
This morning you are collected by your private driver and transferred to Aswan Airport for your internal flight to Cairo. There, you are met by a local Audley representative who will escort you to your driver who takes you to your airport hotel for the final night of your trip.
