The first stone structure is 4800 years old and was erected as substantial solid steps on top of each. The name Step Pyramid is quite suitable. You will learn about the development of the royal tomb structure in the complex Step Pyramid.
Your tour guide will accompany you inside one of the nobles' tombs (The Tomb of Kagemni) to see murals reflecting daily life activities in ancient Egypt. Moreover, you can enter the Pyramid of Teti, where you can see the oldest form of the pyramid text on the chamber walls (4340 years old). Memphis is your second destination to visit the city's open-air museum. In Memphis, you will see the second largest Sphinx in Egypt, known as the Alabaster Sphinx, the lying colossus of Ramses II. It is a masterpiece and decisive proof of how Egyptian sculpture reached its peak. You will also see many more monuments dug in this great city. Memphis was Egypt's first capital city after the Southern and Northern kingdom's unity. Enjoy all the beautiful monuments on display in the open museum. The next stop will be at Dahshur. This archeological site is five miles away from Sakkara. There are three pyramids in this untrodden place: the Bent Pyramid and the North or Red Pyramid. Both belong to the pharaoh Snefru, the founder of the fourth dynasty, while the third pyramid belongs to his wife, Queen Step Heres.
In this place, you will visit the bent pyramid, the first attempt to develop the Step pyramids' shape. This pyramid looks fascinating with its two-level form and beautiful soft casing layer. Move around this pyramid and look at the small pyramid of the queen.

We will visit the Ptolemaic Kom Ombo Temple. It was built during the reign of King Ptolemy V (ca. 205 to 180 BC).

Walk on the High Dam, which separates Lake Nasser from the Nile, be astounded at the size of the Unfinished Obelisk, and enjoy the beauty of the Philae Temple island location. Depart your Aswan hotel or cruise ship and travel to the High Dam of Aswan, an engineering phenomenon. This remarkable structure contains more material than what was used in the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The Dam is 11,811 ft long, 3215 ft thick at the base, 364 ft tall, and is carved into from the existing granite, providing irrigation and electricity for the entirety of Egypt. From the top of the High Dam, you can gaze across Lake Nasser to Kalabsha Temple in the south and the massive power station to the north. Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries of Aswan, where much of the red granite used for ancient temples and colossi came from.
The Unfinished Obelisk still lies where it was carved when a crack was discovered as it was being hewn from the rock. Your qualified Egyptologist guide will explain how the 1-tonne obelisk was cut and why the crack caused it to be abandoned. The last of the three famous Aswan sites you will see today is generally regarded as the best. Philae Temple was carefully moved to its current location (around 500 meters from the original site) when the construction of the High Dam caused surrounding Nile waters to rise.
A short motorboat ride takes you to the island, where your guide will take you on a walking tour through the temple before allowing you free time to explore further.
Dedicated to the goddess Isis, Philae Temple is beautifully set on an island in the river which has been landscaped to match its original site. Its various shrines and sanctuaries celebrate the deities involved in the myth of Isis and Osiris.
Conclude the evening by boarding a felucca, a traditional wooden sailboat of the Nile.
Overnight: onboard Nile Cruise | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Fly to Abu Simbel in southern Egypt this morning, where your local guide will join you. Embark on a tour of this awe-inspiring ancient site, often regarded as one of Ramses II's most impressive structures. At the main entrance, you will find four colossal statues of the pharaoh, which have been intricately carved out of a dramatic sandstone cliff. During the Abu Simbel Sun Festival, celebrated twice a year in February and October, the sun's rays cast a golden light on the inner chamber, illuminating the seated statues of Ramses II and two sun gods. Like the Temple at Philae, the Abu Simbel temples were dismantled and rebuilt at a higher elevation to make way for the Aswan High Dam, a feat of engineering to rival Abu Simbel's original construction. After lunch, catch a flight back to Cairo and relax at your hotel.

There are many things to do in Egypt during your visit depending on your interests and character.

You must visit the pyramids of Giza, enjoy a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan and enjoy visiting the most important tourist attractions in Luxor and Aswan. You can visit the city of Hurghada, Marsa Alam, or Sharm el-Sheikh Red Sea for relaxation and enjoy many activities there such as diving, snorkeling, sunbathing, or swimming.

The high season for tourism is all year with winter and spring being peak season for cultural travels with lots of sightseeing. Weather in Egypt is perfect for many kinds of tourism, and if coming in June, July, and August, head for the seaside resorts. Those months are very warm with temperatures that can reach around 45C. and the humidity is about 70 to 80%, but it is bearable with the sea and large swimming pools nearby. So the period of the high summer season is also a bit busy as hotels fill up with tourists from all over the world looking for a bargain, lots of sunshine, diving, snorkeling, etc. It is also a primary vacation time in Europe. If you come in the deep summer season you can still enjoy it because you can always sightsee early in the morning and go again at night when the sunsets. You will definitely need good sunscreen and a lot of liquids to drink with a nice hat on your head. Summer is a good time for people looking for good rates in accommodation and other services.
Egypt is a Muslim country and the dress code is towards the conservative side, especially for women. That being said, we are used to seeing travelers from all over the world. My suggestion would be to wear light clothes and not to wear short shorts, short skirts and alike to avoid the occasional unwanted stare. But it's really up to you. When you visit religious places (synagogues, churches, and mosques) you do need to cover your shoulders and wear over the knee dresses, if you are planning to wear one of course. If you plan to attend the Nile dinner cruise, there is no need for formal wear unless you want to make that night a special night! Also, you will be sharing this experience with other travelers so you can dress however you feel most comfortable.

There are many Nile cruises. Not to name one but your choice depends on many things to put in mind such as the number of nights you want to spend on the cruiser, your budget, and the standard of the Nile cruise. We recommend you choose a 5-star luxury Nile cruise, and if you are looking for a private Nile River cruise you can choose Dahabiya cruises, it is only for the small-group tour, about 15 people. Most cruises have. There is another way of cruising the Nile, which is the Felucca boat. It is traditional and charming but it is cheap as long as it will be ok to sleep on the deck exposed to mosquitos and most of these boats do not have a toilet

I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2) to Egypt with Your Egypt Tours. We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to Egypt was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
