Full Corn Tour Ancient Routes (Cairo-Hurghada) (BIN008)
Istanbul – Cairo
We meet at the Istanbul Airport International Departures Terminal, and after completing ticket, baggage, and boarding procedures, we depart for Cairo on a Turkish Airlines scheduled flight. Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, we leave the area with our private vehicle waiting for us to begin a city tour. We start our panoramic Cairo city tour. Places we will see include the old city center, Muhammad Ali Mosque, Sadat's Mausoleum, Baron Palace, Tahrir Square, the city center along the Nile, and El-Han El-Halili Bazaar. After the tour ends and during our free time, we will transfer to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel.
Cairo
After breakfast at the hotel, we will join the Cairo Museum & Giza Pyramids & Sphinx tour with lunch. Our first stop will be the Cairo Museum, which showcases Egyptian history in full detail and houses numerous fascinating mummies. Next, we will proceed to the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, named after the pharaohs who commissioned them and recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Constructed thousands of years ago and still preserving their mysteries, these three pyramids were designed incorporating the Pythagorean triple. Built centuries before Pythagoras, they demonstrate how advanced ancient Egyptians were in mathematics and geometry. After visiting the mysterious pyramids, we will see the Sphinx, a creature with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, symbolizing the rising sun and the pharaoh's rebirth. Following the visit to the Sphinx, known as the "living statue" and featuring a temple between its paws, free time will be provided, after which we will transfer back to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel.
Cairo - Aswan
After having breakfast at the hotel, we complete our check-out procedures and fly with a local airline for approximately one hour before landing in Aswan. Upon arrival, after our city tour, we visit the Philae Temple, one of Egypt's most magnificent temples, and the Aswan Dam, which took 10 years to build and is the largest dam on the Nile River. After our visits, we conclude our day with a traditional felucca boat ride on the Nile River. Overnight at our hotel.
Aswan - Luxor
After having breakfast at the hotel, we will complete our check-out procedures and, following a journey of approximately 4.5 hours by bus, arrive in Luxor. Our first stop upon arrival will be the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest temple complex in Egypt. We set off to see Karnak Temple, which is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is the largest ancient structure ever built in the world. This magnificent structure, surrounded by mud-brick walls twenty meters high and containing numerous temples, provides important information about Egyptian history and mythology. As we explore this grand edifice, whose construction spanned over 2,000 years and in which each pharaoh added more than what the preceding pharaoh had built, we will feel as if we are tiny. After visiting Karnak Temple, we will tour the Luxor Temple in Luxor, which houses the world's largest open-air museum. The Luxor Temple was commissioned by the 9th Pharaoh in honor of Amun, the greatest of the ancient Egyptian gods. Following this impressive temple tour, we will transfer to our hotel to rest. Overnight at our hotel.
Luxor
After breakfast at the hotel, we will join the evening dinner tour to the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple. Our tour begins with exploring the Valley of the Kings, where tombs were built for pharaohs and powerful nobles. The kings had their tombs constructed within this mysterious valley to prevent theft of their valuable belongings and ensure their immortality in peace. After visiting the Valley of the Kings, we proceed to the Hatshepsut Temple, a monument erected in honor of Hatshepsut, Egypt's first and only female pharaoh. Having toured this significant funerary temple complex belonging to Hatshepsut—who, after becoming queen, dressed as a king and wore a false beard—we transfer back to our hotel. Overnight stay at our hotel.
Luxor - Hurghada
After the breakfast we will have at the hotel, we head towards Hurghada, a place abundant with sea, sand, and sun. Upon our arrival in Hurghada, we will be transferred to our hotel to rest. You can enjoy the sea, sand, and sun throughout the day. At the end of the day, we check into our hotel in Hurghada. Dinner and accommodation are provided on an all-inclusive concept at our hotel in Hurghada.
