• Giza - Enjoy a 2-day tour of Cairo and Luxor from Hurghada, including flights and overnight accommodation.
  Explore Cairo and visit the Sphinx, Giza Pyramids, and ongoing excavations on the Giza Plateau. Discover the settlement of pyramid builders, complete with areas for large-scale food production and medical facilities, providing evidence that the workers were not slaves, but an organized workforce of Egyptian farmers. During the flood season, when the Nile covered their fields, these farmers could have been redeployed by the highly structured bureaucracy to work on the pharaoh’s tomb. In this way, the Pyramids can be seen as an ancient job-creation scheme. The floodwaters also facilitated the transportation of building stones to the site.
• Cairo - Visit the Egyptian Museum with an Egyptologist tour guide.
  Admire Tutankhamun’s death mask and funerary treasures at the museum. Cairo is magnificent, beautiful, and, at times, challenging. From above, the echo of the muezzins’ call to prayer resonates from dueling minarets. Below, car horns create tuneless symphonies amid avenues of faded 19th-century grandeur while donkey carts rattle down dusty lanes lined with colossal Fatimid and Mamluk monuments. This mega-city’s constant buzz and noise result from its 22 million inhabitants simultaneously straining Cairo’s infrastructure and lifting its spirits with their exceptional humor. A visit can be exhilarating.
• Valley of the Kings - The tombs have suffered greatly from treasure hunters, floods, and, in recent years, mass tourism: carbon dioxide, friction, and the humidity produced by the average 2.8g of sweat left by each visitor have affected the reliefs and the stability of paintings made on plaster laid over limestone. The Department of Antiquities has installed dehumidifiers and glass screens in the worst-affected tombs. They have also introduced a rotation system: a limited number of tombs are open to the public at any one time. The entry ticket grants access to three tombs, with extra tickets available to see the tombs of Ay, Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses VI.
• Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - At the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir Al Bahri, the eyes first focus on the dramatic rugged limestone cliffs that rise nearly 300m above the desert plain, only to realize that at the foot of all this immense beauty lies a monument even more extraordinary, the dazzling Temple of Hatshepsut. The almost-modern-looking temple blends beautifully with the cliffs from which it is partly cut – a marriage made in heaven. Most of what you see has been painstakingly reconstructed.
  Continuous excavation and restoration since 1891 have revealed one of ancient Egypt’s finest monuments. It must have been even more stunning in the days of Hatshepsut (1473–1458 BC), when it was approached by a grand sphinx-lined causeway instead of today’s noisy tourist bazaar, when the court was a garden planted with exotic trees and perfumed plants, and when it was linked due east across the Nile to the Temple of Karnak. Called Djeser-desert (Most Holy of Holies), it was designed by Senenmut, a courtier at Hatshepsut’s court.
• Colossi of Memnon - The colossi were already a great tourist attraction during Graeco-Roman times, when the statues were attributed to Memnon, the legendary African king who was slain by Achilles during the Trojan War. The Greeks and Romans considered it good luck to hear the whistling sound emitted by the northern statue at sunrise, which they believed to be the cry of Memnon greeting his mother Eos, the goddess of dawn. She, in turn, would weep tears of dew for his untimely death. All this was probably due to a crack in the colossus’ upper body, which appeared after the 27 BC earthquake. As the heat of the morning sun baked the dew-soaked stone, sand particles would break off and resonate inside the cracks in the structure. After Septimus Severus (193–211 AD) repaired the statue in the 3rd century AD, Memnon’s plaintive greeting was heard no more.
• Temple of Karnak - Fly to Luxor and explore the complex dominated by the great Temple of Amun-Ra – one of the world’s largest religious complexes – with its famous hypostyle hall, a spectacular forest of giant papyrus-shaped columns. This main structure is surrounded by the houses of Amun’s wife Mut and their son Khonsu, two other huge temple complexes on this site. On its southern side, the Mut Temple Enclosure was once linked to the main temple by an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes. To the north is the Montu Temple Enclosure, which honored the local Theban war god.
