3-Day Egypt Highlights Tour from Marsa Alam

An air-conditioned car will collect you from your hotel in Marsa Alam and drive you from Marsa Alam to Hurghada . Your flight departs from Hurghada . The drive to Hurghada Airport from Marsa Alam takes 2.5 hours, and the flight itself lasts 1 hour.
Your first stop is the Great Pyramid of Giza (also called the Pyramid of Khufu or Pyramid of Cheops ), the oldest and largest pyramid within the Giza complex. It's the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one still largely intact.

The great pyramid served as the tomb of Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khufu, believed to have been built over roughly 27 years during the 26th century BC. Standing originally at 146.5 meters (481 feet), it held the record for the world's tallest man-made structure for more than 3,800 years. Over time much of its smooth white limestone casing was stripped away, bringing the height down to today's 138.5 meters, leaving the core structure visible. The base measures roughly 230.3 meters (755.6 ft) square, giving a volume of about 2.6 million cubic meters (92 million cubic feet), including an internal hillock.
Should you wish to enter King Cheops' burial chamber, your guide can arrange the ticket for around 400 L.E per person (25 $ per person).

Next comes the Pyramid of Chephren (Khafre), the second-tallest and second-largest of the 3 Pyramids of Giza and the resting place of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren), who reigned c. 2558−2532 BC

Then we move on to the Pyramid of Mykerinus.

Take in a panoramic view of the 3 Pyramids of Giza

We continue on to the Valley Temple of king Chephren, giving you a chance to get a closer look at the Great Sphinx - the legendary guardian with a lion's body and the head of king Chephren standing beside the vast funeral complex. Enjoy a camel ride near the Pyramids of Giza in the desert

From there, visit the Egyptian Museum , home to the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Tahrir.
It houses a rare collection exceeding 250,000 genuine artifacts dating back as far as 5000 years, including a dedicated Tutankhamen exhibit - treasures, gold, and jewelry that remained buried in his tomb for over 3,500 years until their discovery in 1920.

To see the royal mummy hall, ask your guide about arranging a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, payable separately for around 200 Egyptian Pounds.

The New Grand Museum has not opened yet, with an opening possibly around the end of 2021 or in 2022. From there we transfer to admire some of the world's most striking masterpieces and the treasures of Tutankhamun, followed by the old Khan el Khalili bazaar to close out your Cairo visit, then a transfer to Cairo airport for the flight to Aswan, departing at 17:00 and landing at 18:25, with a transfer to the Basma Hotel for the night.

Early departure for Abu Simbel around 04:00, roughly 3 hours from Aswan by air-conditioned vehicle. Abu Simbel temples: the two temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari were hewn from the mountain on the Nile's west bank between 1274 and 1244 B.C. The Great Temple honours Ramses II, Ra-Harakhty, Amun Ra, and Ptah, fronted by 4 colossal statues, while the second temple is dedicated to Queen Nefertari and Goddess Hathor; both were later dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt on higher ground - their preservation ranks among UNESCO's greatest achievements. Aswan sightseeing includes the Temple of Philae and a Felucca tour around Elephantine, the High Dam, and the Unfinished Obelisk. The Philae temple: built to honour the goddess Isis, this was the last temple raised in the classical Egyptian style, with construction starting around 690 BC as one of the final outposts where the goddess was worshipped. The High Dam: the Aswan High Dam is a rock-fill dam on the northern border between Egypt and Sudan, fed by the Nile, whose reservoir forms Lake Nasser; building began in 1960 and finished in 1968, with the official inauguration in 1971. The Unfinished Obelisk :
Aswan supplied ancient Egypt's finest granite, used for statues and to decorate temples, pyramids, and obelisks. The large unfinished obelisk in the Northern Quarries offers valuable clues about how such monuments were carved, though the full process is still not completely understood. Three sides of the nearly 42m shaft were finished except for the inscriptions; at 1168 tonnes, once complete it would have been the single heaviest stone ever shaped by the Egyptians. Lunch at 12:00 aboard the Felucca, then drive to Luxor for the overnight stay

Breakfast at your hotel, then transfer with your guide to the west bank of Luxor , including The Valley of Kings: once known as the great Place of Truth, this valley - now called the Valley of the Kings - is a majestic domain where Pharaohs once lay in massive stone sarcophagi awaiting immortality. The secluded valley behind Deir el Bahri is overlooked by a pyramid-shaped mountain peak. The Colossi of Memnon: this massive pair of statues rises roughly 18 m from the plain and marks the remains of what was once the largest complex on the west bank, built by Amenhotep III. The temple of Queen Hatshepsut : rising from the desert plain in a series of terraces, the Hatshepsut temple blends into the sheer limestone cliffs of the Theban Mountain's eastern face, as if nature itself had shaped this extraordinary monument. Lunch in Luxor , then continue to Luxor Temple: largely built by New Kingdom Pharaoh Amenhotep III and finished by King Tutankhamun and the great King Ramses II, its first pylon was raised by Ramses II and decorated with scenes of his Battle of Kadesh. Dinner & overnight aboard the cruise. Karnak temple
Karnak is far more than a temple - it's a spectacular complex of sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons and obelisks, all dedicated to the Theban gods and to the greater glory of Egypt`s Pharaohs. Karnak served as the most important site for worshipping the Theban Triad (Amun, Mut, and Khonso)
