Itinerary

At 07:00 AM, your tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and transfer you to Bahariya Oasis, located approximately 360 km west of Cairo. The journey takes around four hours. Upon arrival, lunch will be served in Bahariya Oasis.

Later in the day, visit the Golden Mummies showroom and two nobles’ tombs from the 26th Dynasty—part of a vast burial site in the Western Desert of Egypt. You will also explore the Tomb of Bannantiu in Bahariya Oasis.

To conclude the day, enjoy a short hike up to the English House, which offers panoramic views of the oasis landscape.

Next, head to the White Desert National Park—Egypt’s most famous desert destination—for good reason. The park is filled with otherworldly, wind-carved limestone formations shaped like giant mushrooms or pebbles, unmatched in beauty by any other desert landscape in the world.

Our trip to Egypt was truly special. While every ancient site was breathtaking, the most memorable moment came during our Nile cruise. Our guide, Ahmed, saw our genuine curiosity about local life. He arranged for us to take a small boat to a remote village, where we shared mint tea with a local family. Sitting on their rooftop, we watched the sunset over the river and listened to their stories,

A Fantastic Journey with Unexpected Costs

I was worried about the long drive, but the private vehicle was so comfortable and our guide was an absolute expert. He made the time fly by with incredible stories and details about the sites. Seeing the Valley of the Kings in person was a spiritual experience.

A Day That Felt Like a Week

I have always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride, and Luxor was the perfect place. The team was so organized from the hotel pick-up to the smooth landing. The flight itself was so peaceful, and the view of the Nile and the fertile lands was beautiful. A must-do.

An Unforgettable Journey Through Ancient Egypt!

I was a bit nervous about the height, but once we were up there, all my fear was gone. It was so quiet and tranquil.

Simply Magical

Our group of friends chose this tour, and it was a phenomenal experience. The guides were charismatic and funny, making the days of sightseeing feel like a fun outing rather than a history lesson. We especially enjoyed the horse-and-carriage ride at Edfu, which was a fun and memorable part of the trip. The cruise ship offered a great space for us to relax and socialize in the evenings.
