The three most famous pyramids were built in the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt by the three pharaohs of Guf, Kafra and Mankara.

DAY 4  Cairo ✈︎ Aswan 【Reference Flight: 7:35A/9:00A】

  • Yaswen Dam: In order to solve the problem of the flooding of the Nile, the Yaswen Dam was built in 1960 with the help of Russia to regulate the flow of the Nile so that the Nile no longer floods, and the construction of this dam used more than ten times more granite blocks than the Pyramid of Guf, which shows the great hardship of its construction work.
  • Felucca: One of the means of transportation used on the Nile, it is said that it was first used by pharaohs to tour various places, and then slowly became popular. Enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Nile in the gentle breeze, coupled with the local boat family singing and dancing Nubian songs, portrays a beautiful style, very comfortable and romantic, like a dream immersed in the Nile.

Enjoy beautiful sights that can only be seen by car, passing the world's largest Sahara Desert along the way, allowing you to experience this vast desert first-hand and have the chance to see mirages with your own eyes.

DAY 6  Edfu - Esna Lock of The Nile - Luxor 

  • Esna Lock of The Nile: The construction of this lock is to regulate the amount of water in the Nile and prevent the Nile from flooding, because the Nile River is very undulating, the water level downstream is lower than the upstream, and when the cruise ship enters the sluice, the front gate will be closed, and the water level will be adjusted after the cruise ship enters, and then open the gate for the cruise ship to pass. Many vendors will use the waiting time of the boat to sell things, and the hawkers will row the boat to the cruise ship, shouting with Egyptian bath towels in their hands, and constantly bargaining with tourists, and the bath towels are thrown around, which is a unique and interesting landscape.
  • Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis: Selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Thebes, the city of Amun, the sun god, was the capital of the New Kingdom in ancient Egypt. The majestic ruins of the temple stretch out among the towering colonnades, huge stone carvings and tall door walls of Luxor and Karnak, and you can feel a mysterious and solemn atmosphere when you are immersed in them. The neighboring Valley of the Kings tomb complex is an "eternal place" where the pharaohs of the new kingdom are buried, but most of the tombs were invaded by tomb robbers, and only a few painted tomb galleries remain.
  • Temple of Karnak: One of the largest open-air prehistoric monuments in the world, the scale of the temple is unmatched, there is a row of sphinx in front of the temple door, another row behind the entrance, followed by ten stone pillars about 21 meters high, only one complete stone pillar remains, but its momentum can still be felt. The two obelisks that can also be seen here are about 29 meters high, making them the tallest obelisks in Egypt today. Huge statues, crumbling shrines, and memories of the glory of Egypt's ancient empire are incredible.
  • Temple of Luxor: Also dedicated to the three gods of Thebes, the god Amun and the wife of the god Amun, the goddess of war, Mute, and their two children, the moon god Hons, it is said that every year during the high tide of the Nile, the three gods of the Karnak temple will come here by boat to receive worship and worship from everyone. The temple is north-south and slender, but not similar in size to the Karnak Temple. The main part of the temple was built by Oman's Hotip III and was visited by Alexander the Great until the Hellenistic era.
