Giza pyramids & Great sphinx :

The Giza pyramids tour from Cairo is the starting point of your Cairo city tour, which also includes visits to the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Since ancient times, the Great Sphinx has protected the pyramids through its pharaoh-faced statue, which rests upon a lion's body form. Also, the Valley Temple offers visitors the opportunity to discover both ritual areas and mummification sites following their enjoyment of the breathtaking natural scenery.

Grand Egyptian Museum :

After lunch, you continue your morning by heading to the Grand Egyptian Museum tour (GEM), which houses artifacts from ancient Egypt and is one of the largest modern museums worldwide. Numerous dynastic royal treasures and large statues at the museum draw tourists who value the display of artifacts from various ancient eras.

Aswan high dam :

After breakfast, you're off to Cairo Airport to take a flight to Aswan. After landing, the next stop for you would be the Aswan High Dam, which is among the marvels of engineering in the world. This dam acts as the lifeblood of irrigation for most of Egypt, along with controlling the flow of water from the Nile River. From here, you can enjoy the scenery of Lake Nasser, the largest artificial lake on earth. 

Unfinished obelisk :

Visit the Unfinished Obelisk and see the biggest known ancient obelisk, left in its quarry because of fissures.

These amounts are just recommendations and can be adjusted based on your satisfaction with the service provided. Tipping is an important cultural gesture in Egypt, and even a small amount can go a long way in showing gratitude for excellent service.

To ensure a smooth and comfortable journey throughout Egypt, we suggest you pack the following items:

  • Valid Passport (at least 6 months): Double-check that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned arrival date in Egypt, as this is often a requirement for entry.
  • Sun Protection: Given Egypt’s sunny climate, we recommend packing high-SPF sunscreen and lip balm with sun protection to shield your skin from the intense sun.
  • UV-Blocking Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce glare while sightseeing, especially when exploring outdoor sites like the Pyramids.
  • Hand Sanitizer: Hygiene is important, particularly when handwashing isn’t always accessible, so be sure to bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer.
  • Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is key, particularly in the heat. A refillable water bottle will help you stay refreshed while reducing plastic waste.
  • Insect Repellent: Particularly useful when visiting sites surrounded by nature, insect repellent will keep pesky bugs at bay and protect you from bites.
  • Appropriate Clothing for the Season:
    • Winter: If traveling during the cooler months, pack a warm jacket, sweater, and thermal layers.
    • Summer: Lightweight, breathable cotton clothes are ideal for staying cool in the hot weather.
  • Wide-Brimmed Hat: A hat provides shade and helps protect your face and neck from direct sun exposure.
  • Travel Adapter: Different countries have varying plug types, so bring a universal travel adapter to keep your electronics charged.
  • Camera or Smartphone: Capture stunning memories from your trip with a camera or your phone. Egypt’s ancient sites are perfect for photos!
  • Compact Umbrella: Though Egypt is mostly dry, a small umbrella can be handy during the rare rain showers, especially if you're traveling during the transitional months.
  • Comfortable Shoes: You’ll likely be doing a lot of walking during your sightseeing, so pack sturdy and comfortable shoes suitable for exploring archaeological sites and urban areas.
  • Medications: If you take prescription medication, ensure you have an adequate supply for the duration of your trip. Also, carry any over-the-counter medications you may need for common issues like headaches or stomach discomfort.
