Tour itinerary
Day 01 Arrive in Cairo
July 29, 2027
When you arrive at the airport, a Happy Egypt representative will hold a sign with your name on it. An air-conditioned, cozy car will then take you to your hotel in Cairo so you can rest.
Day 02 Giza Great Pyramids, Sphinx and Saqqara tour
July 30, 2027
Your tour guide will await you at the start of your Egyptian Solar Eclipse vacation by welcoming you to your Cairo hotel. At the beginning of the itinerary, visitors need to witness the Great Pyramids of Giza featuring Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure pyramids along with the Great Sphinx and ancient relics.
Tourists should proceed from Saqqara to see the Pyramid of King Djoser, where they can visit the historic site that houses the initial Egyptian pyramid structure as accredited by UNESCO. After enjoying antiquities during such a wonderful morning, you can check out local food at a charming restaurant before taking the airport transfer to Aswan.
Day 03 Transfer to Aswan
July 31, 2027
After arriving at Cairo Airport, you will take your flight toward the picturesque city of Aswan. Your Egypt tour begins when your prearranged guide walks out of the terminal to welcome you after your arrival. Travelers can start by observing the High Dam created by 1960s engineers.
After touring the High Dam, you will travel to the Temple of Isis situated on Philae Island. The Greco-Roman era temple exists as a sacred place that celebrates Isis, the Egyptian goddess of Love and Magic.
Your last stop for seeing ancient Egyptian carving techniques that resulted in both obelisks and deity statues of kings and gods is the granite site that houses an Unfinished Obelisk. After your lunch in a local dining restaurant, you will proceed to your hotel to rest and enjoy your free evening in Aswan.
Optional tour: The Nubian Village tour in Aswan.
Day 04 Abu Simbel Temples tour
August 1, 2027
Discover the temples of Abu Simbel, where Pharaoh Ramesses II guarded the entrance, his face carved in time for as many centuries as you can imagine. Visiting a temple is more than a religious ritual when walking where the ancient kings walked.
You will be amazed by the craftsmanship of the buildings and their enduring monumental grandeur, which demonstrate human creativity in the past. You will take a train to start your journey to Luxor.
Day 05 Attend the Solar Eclipse phenomena at Karnak Temple
August 2, 2027
Start the day at the Karnak Temple, where the celestial phenomenon shines in the glow of the mystery of ancient Egypt, after having breakfast at your hotel. The moon will project a shadow on the sun quietly, and an amazingly unnatural sense of twilight will recreate the above surroundings before your eyes. The stars will peer over the daylight blue sky and the corona, a brilliant aurora of flames, will glow around the moon's shadow for 6 minutes and 23 seconds of celestial sight.
Visit the Luxor Temple, another extremely opulent destination on your Egypt trip. That Luxor side is largely bathed in sunlight, so it appears to be close to golden in that afternoon sunfire, as if it were part of an architectural work of art. During lunchtime, while on your Egypt tour, dine at a common eating place before going back to your Luxor hotel.
Day 06 Kings Valley, Hatshepsut Temple and Colossi of Memnon tour
August 3, 2027
The first step of your Egypt tour involves eating breakfast leisurely in your hotel and then boarding to reach the western Luxor bank. The sandy landscape of this side of the Nile holds the secrets of ancient times. Travel to the Valley of the Kings to see royal pharaoh tombs filled with hieroglyphics that maintain their eternal messages on the walls. An Egyptologist guide today functions as a current-day expert who interprets these heavenly visions.
Then, you will head to Hatshepsut Temple, which stands at the spot where the Female Pharaoh rebelliously managed to rule despite societal expectations during her time while the desert sun gently warms your flesh. The Colossi of Memnon provides an afternoon shade inside the gateway to ancient Thebes at the time of noon.
Enjoy your local restaurant meal and relish actual Egyptian culture before your professional driver takes you to Luxor Airport just in time for your flight to Cairo.
