Day 2: Cairo

Today, your tour guide and driver will pick you up for a visit to the incredible Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx, a colossal limestone statue with a lion's body and a pharaoh's head. In the afternoon, feast your eyes on vast ancient Egyptian antiquities at Egyptian Museum, including Ka-Aper Statue, Tut's Canes, Seneb Statue, and so on.

Day 3: Cairo - Aswan - Nile River Cruise

Day 4: Nile River Cruise, Aswan - Kom Ombo - Edfu

In the early morning, your Nile cruise will start for Kom Ombo to visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, a double temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon-headed god Horus.
