either side that serves as the dramatic entrance to Petra, for the first 700 meters of your exploration.

Also, you will explore the little Petra (Beidha): is a fascinating site due it the similarities with
Petra. Like the ancient city of Petra, Al Beidha is constructed behind a narrow canyon which acts as a passageway. The Cold Siq of Al Beidha is slightly smaller than The Siq at Petra and visitors will need to hike through it to reach the ruins of Little Petra.

Arrival, reception, and transfer from the airport to the hotel. Accommodation. In the afternoon, walk in Cairo in the evening

After breakfast we head to the Giza pyramid complex, where we’ll see the pyramids of Khufu (the father), Khafre (the son) and Menkaure (the grandson). Of the three pyramids The Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu) is the largest, Khafre is the second largest, and Menkaure is considerably smaller than the other two. The sheer size of them will leave you in awe for a lifetime.

A short walk away we’ll have private access to the feet of the sphinx for a photo opportunity and to see the Spinx close up.

After a short drive through the insane streets of Cairo we will arrive at my favorite museum in the world, the old Cairo museum. It’s absolutely jam packed with items from the old kingdom starting with Narmer to the Ptolemaic period that ended with Cleopatra. The Tutankhamun section is definitely a highlight, but having been many times and spending whole days here its a place you’ll want to come back to.

Back to the hotel for a well deserved rest.

This morning we make our way to Cairo airport after breakfast for our transfer to Aswan, Egypt’s southern most city only 300km’s from the Sudanese border. You’ll notice the different look and feel of this place as the architecture, culture and food are quiet a contrast from Cairo.

With its laid back vibes and colorful buildings Aswan is a great place to relax after the hustle of the largest city in Africa.

On arrival we’ll make our way to the Philae temple dedicated to Isis, isolated farther up the Nile. It’s a beautiful sight to explore on a sunny day.

After check in we’ll take a Felucca ride on the Nile to a Nubian village, where we will see the colorful buildings and fabrics that are so common in this part of Egypt.

Today we take a road trip to Luxor, stopping at Kom Ombo which in old times was know as Nubt (City of gold) as this area was a gateway to the kingdom of Kush.

After we’ll head to Edfu to the Ptolemaic temple of Osiris which was  kept in an amazing state as it was buried by hundreds of years of desert sand and river silt from the Nile.

From here we head to my absolute favorite part of Egypt, Luxor.

This morning we’re out early to catch the light at Karnak, an enormous 4000 year old site with multiple temples, chapels and awe inspiring entrances. We’ll see the Great hypostyle hall its towering pylons, the Temple of Thutmose III with its colours still vivid after thousands of years. It’s not hard to get overwhelmed by the sheer size of this 247 acre site.

Later we make our way to Luxor temple which was started by Amenhotep III and finished by the boy king Tutankhamen. This massive site is spread over 10 sections, with a gigantic entrance to inspire and awe all who see it. This was more of a Pharaonic festival site but as always in the new kingdom in Thebes (Luxor) there are sites for the trio Amun, Mut and Khonsu.

This morning we have an optional sunrise horse tour through the back streets of west bank into the desert near Hatshepsut’s temple, where wind allows we’ll see the balloons launching over the cane fields with the morning light, its well worth getting up early for. There are horses, camels, donkey’s or even a cart to ride.

After we’ll head to the West bank to visit the Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut an amazing Pharaoh, you’ll see her strong relationship with Amun at every turn.

Afterwards we head into the Valley of the Kings where over 62 tombs have been found. In the time of the New Kingdom the Pharaohs were laid to rest here, as yet all that have been discovered have been looted other than Tutankhamen’s grave which you’ve seen the contents of in the Cairo museum. You’ll see amazingly colorful  carvings, inscriptions and walkways.

We head back to our hotel early today as we have an optional night tour through Karnak where we will be the only ones there.

Relaxing day today, we have a rest day before our flights to Cairo. A good time to wonder and explore the streets of Luxor.

This morning we have our last breakfast together before our transfer to the Airport.

We hope you’ll come back as there is so much more to see.

Thank You
