Trip Inclusions

Cairo Unveiled

Uncover the layers of Egypt’s capital on a guided city tour. Stand before the Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza — timeless symbols of ancient ingenuity that continue to inspire awe. Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), home to the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic treasures, where Tutankhamen’s legacy and Egypt’s golden age come vividly to life. Wander through the alleyways of Old Cairo, where centuries-old churches and mosques reflect a rich tapestry of faith and culture. End your day at Khan el Khalili bazaar, a sensory feast of spices, silver and storytelling.

Karnak Temple

Explore Karnak, the largest religious structure ever built and a sacred site for over 2,000 years. Dedicated to the Theban Triad — Amun, Mut and Khonsu — this vast temple complex showcases the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Wander through the Hypostyle Hall, where 134 towering columns still bear traces of original paint and inscriptions. Discover the sacred lake and ceremonial avenues once used by pharaohs in rituals to honour the gods and renew cosmic order.

Valley of the Kings and Queens

Journey to the West Bank of the Nile to explore Egypt’s most sacred burial grounds.
