The PYRAMIDS & THE SPHINX

Several pyramids and the Great Sphinx are located on the desert plateau marking the boundary of Giza, a suburb of Cairo. In Arabic, the site is known as “El-Ahram” (the pyramids). The specific purpose of these pyramids was to provide a place and means by which the dead Pharaoh would rise to the sky and join with the sun. The pyramid was also believed to be the mineral concentration of the sun’s rays of light. Another hypothesis is that the Pyramids and the Nile represent Orion and the Milky Way, thus focusing the strength and power of heaven to Egypt. The best-known pyramids are the tombs of the 3rd and 4th Dynasty Pharaohs: (the largest) Khufu, Cheops in Greek; Khafre, Chephren in Greek; and Menkaure, Mycerinus in Latin. Also, of course, there is the Great Sphinx.

Explore these ancient wonders with our Pyramids of Giza tours, included in our exclusive Egypt travel packages. These tours offer a deep dive into the history and mystique of these incredible monuments.

LUXOR

Luxor is located at the northern end of the Nile and is home to a major airport, where many visitors begin their Egypt travel packages. A bustling, modern city, Luxor is steeped in both ancient Egyptian and more recent history, with its iconic monuments scattered throughout. The city boasts two famous temples, Luxor and Karnak, and was once known as Thebes in ancient times. Shopping is a great experience here, with silver, gold, cotton goods, leather items, and spices among the best bargains.

Luxor Temple is located right on the riverside, nestled between modern hotels and office buildings—a striking contrast. The temple is well preserved, with colossal statues of Ramses II, who added major structures to the temple. The partner obelisk from this site is now in Paris. The Museum, located between Luxor and Karnak temples, is small but offers insightful displays about the region’s history.

Karnak Temple, just a mile and a half north of Luxor Temple, is the largest religious building in the world and will leave you in awe. It was originally connected to Luxor Temple by an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes. Don’t miss the late-night “Son et Lumiere” presentations held here in multiple languages, offering a unique experience. Make sure to include this on your Egypt travel packages to explore one of the most remarkable ancient cities.

ASWAN

Aswan is situated at the southern end of the section of the Nile plied by the cruise fleets, with the First Cataract, the old Aswan Dam, and the High Dam just upriver. Aswan has historically been the border-trading city between Egypt and Nubia, as well as southern Africa, and a significant portion of its population is of Nubian descent. It remains a major commercial center, and you can find a wide range of pungent spices from the south in the local bazaars.

To truly experience Aswan, there is no better way than to take a horse-drawn carriage (make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand and specify “No baksheesh!”) from your cruise boat to the Old Cataract Hotel, where Agatha Christie wrote “Death on the Nile”. Enjoy tea (or something stronger!) on the terrace, which offers magnificent views of the Nile, and immerse yourself in the charm of this old colonial hotel.

Aswan also boasts the Nilometer, where Pharaoh’s officials once measured the annual flood and determined the tax level. On the West Bank, the Aga Khan’s Mausoleum is a noteworthy visit, and Elephantine Island in the middle of the Nile features a museum and a temple. Among the nearby temples, Philae, located in the middle of the lake between the dams, is often visited by Egypt travel packages and is another venue for evening “Son et Lumiere” presentations. Most cruise itineraries also include a visit to the “Unfinished Obelisk,” which would have been the largest ever erected if it hadn’t cracked mid-excavation. This site offers a unique opportunity to witness Ancient Egyptian quarrying techniques. Be sure to include this incredible location in your Egypt travel packages for a truly memorable experience.

TEMPLES

The Temple of Karnak today remains the world’s largest religious structure, but what is perhaps even more interesting is that it might not have been, or indeed was probably not Egypt’s largest temple. Certainly, the Temple of Ptah in Memphis, though for the most part completely gone today, may have been larger. It was older, located in what was often the capital of Egypt, and more frequently the administrative center of the ancient country. Other temples in the Nile Delta might have been just as large as Karnak, if not larger.

Sites such as Karnak, Dendera, and Kom Ombo would most likely fall under the category of “god’s mansion”. They were more than religious “temples” however. While the god may certainly have been worshiped in these temples, it was also his symbolic home, if not considered his physical residence, and the functions of the temple were as much to serve his or her symbolic physical needs as they were for the god’s worship. There was probably little or no “preaching” as such, or carrying the message of the god to the people by priests associated with these “temples”. Rather, the efforts were directed inward, towards the care of the gods.

When planning your Egypt holiday packages, be sure to include these historical gems like Karnak, Dendera, and Kom Ombo. These sites provide not only spiritual insights but also a glimpse into the architectural marvels of Ancient Egypt. With Egypt tour packages, you can explore these ancient wonders and much more, ensuring a deep and enriching journey into the past. Tailored Egypt travel packages allow you to experience the grandeur of Egypt’s religious and cultural heritage, bringing the wonders of the ancient world to life.
