Temples and Hurghada

The Giza Plateau in the morning: the Great Pyramid of Khufu, a visit inside the Pyramid of Khafre to its burial chamber, and the Sphinx with its Valley Temple. In the afternoon, Saqqara and the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first pyramid ever built.

A morning at the Grand Egyptian Museum with the colossal Ramses II, the Grand Staircase and the complete treasure of Tutankhamun, then the lanes of Khan el-Khalili and mint tea at El Fishawy. Evening flight to Luxor and a night by the Nile.

An optional hot-air balloon at sunrise, then three royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut's terraced temple and the Colossi of Memnon. In the afternoon, the 134 columns of Karnak and Luxor Temple.

A private car across the mountains of the Eastern Desert, about four hours, to your beach hotel in Hurghada. The afternoon is yours by the sea.

Swim, snorkel the coral reefs off your hotel beach or simply rest. Add a boat trip to Giftun Island, a dive or a desert safari if you like.

Private transfer to Hurghada airport. Your personal assistant takes you to the airport and helps you with check-in.
