Egypt New Year vacation

 Our first stop will be at the Giza Plateau, where the legendary pyramids and iconic sphinx figure sits. Marvel at the incredible architectural feats that even to this day puzzle archaeologists, and why not opt for a camel ride to make the experience truly unforgettable. Leaving the pyramids behind us, we will travel on to the necropolis of Saqqara, brimming with sand-strewn temples, ancient tombs, and the site of Zoser’s step pyramid. Later this evening, we will make our way to the train station for our overnight journey to Luxor by sleeper train. Overnight: Sleeper Train | Breakfast

 Upon arrival in Luxor, we will transfer to the hotel for check-in. Considered to be one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, ancient Thebes – known today as Luxor, will be our base for the next two days. Today there is free time to kick back and relax and later in the evening, there will be an optional excursion to the Temple of Luxor. Already impressive during day light, the temple takes on a magically glow after dark as it becomes illuminated by a thousand colored lights. Spend the rest of the evening at your own leisure. Overnight: Luxor | Breakfast

Today we will visit Luxor’s famous West Bank of the Nile, home to the famed Valley of the Kings, a vast and ancient necropolis that marks the burial place of pharaohs from the New Kingdom period. The first stop will be at the Colossi of Memnon, a towering pair of statues that are all that remains of the temple of Amenophis III. Touring will continue in the Valley of the Kings and on to the Valley of the Queens, the site of the imposing colonnaded temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Crossing back over to East Bank, we will return to our hotel for some free time before heading to Karnak. More than a temple, Karnak is a spectacular complex of sanctuaries, towers, and obelisks built on a grand scale. During the height of Theban power, Karnak was the most important place of worship. Overnight: Luxor | Breakfast

Departing today Luxor we will head east to Hurghada, part of the beautiful Red Sea Riviera for four days of beachside bliss! Transportation to Hurghada may be shared with other On the Go tour groups. Overnight: Hurghada | Breakfast
