Cairo and Giza

  • Giza Necropolis

Upper Egypt: Luxor and Aswan

  • Nile River Cruise: Cruising the Nile is one of the most relaxing ways to experience Egypt's historic sites. Most multi-day trips sail between Luxor and Aswan, with stops at temples along the riverbanks.

  • Valley of the Kings

    : On the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, this valley was the burial site for pharaohs of the New Kingdom. The rock-cut tombs are famous for their intricate hieroglyphics and colorful paintings.

  • Karnak Temple

  • Luxor Temple

    : This major temple was built by generations of pharaohs for the annual Opet Festival. It is particularly beautiful at sunset or at night when it is illuminated.

  • Abu Simbel

    : Built by Pharaoh Ramses II, these massive rock-cut temples were painstakingly moved in the 1960s to save them from flooding. On two days of the year, the sun's rays perfectly align to light up the statues within.

  • Philae Temple

    : Rescued from the rising waters of the Nile, this temple was dismantled and reassembled on its current island home. At night, it becomes the stage for a spectacular sound and light show.
