We head off to the world-famous Egyptian Museum where you'll be guided through thousands of artefacts, including the funerary treasures of King Tutankhamen. The Pyramids and the Museum will take up most of the day, but you'll have the early evening at leisure before boarding the overnight train to Aswan.

You'll then head to the temple of Hatshepsut, the extolled female pharaoh and the Colossi of Memnon.

We drive 1 ½ hours from the ferry port in Sharm-el-Sheikh to your hotel resort through the Sinai desert. In Dahab you're sure to have an unforgettable stay with time to relax, enjoy the colourful waters of the Red Sea, dive, snorkel, and explore.

DAY 03:
You will be met this morning by an English-speaking Egyptologist guide, for a full day excursion to the pyramids at Giza. At the edge of the modern city, on the verge of the desert, you will view some of the most astounding structures ever constructed by man. With no doors or windows to give them scale, the monolithic forms seem deceptively small until arriving to its base. Visit the Sphinx. Abu-El-Houl, or fear in Arabic, was sculpted in the image of pharaoh Chephren (head of the Pharaoh and lion’s body) standing as a guard for his pyramidal tomb. Then visit the Solar Boat, resembling paintings and models of boats that have survived since the Fourth Dynasty. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before visiting Sakkara and Memphis. Skirting fields watered by canals from the Nile, the road south from Giza leads to Sakkara, the largest necropolis in Egypt, with hundreds of tombs and monuments erected throughout ancient Egyptian history.

DAY 04:
Depart by mini-bus, through sand dunes, to the Bahariya Oasis. The drive is approximately four hours, and you will arrive in time for lunch at the Palm Village Hotel. The Bahariya Oasis is the closest oasis to Cairo in distance, but the most distant oasis in time, as it has been slow to move into the modern world. For travelers in search of the past, this is a wonderful experience. Visit the Golden Mummies Museum, Pantentio Tomb, Alexander the Great Tomb, and other sites. The world has been astonished by the large number of mummies buried in a huge labyrinth of tombs in this area. Overnight at the Palm Village Ho
DAY 05:
Travel through the mountains to the Farafra Oasis, approximately a three hour drive. En route, you will visit the White Desert whose chalky white sands look like snow, and is often wind-blown into gigantic mushroom-shaped formations.

DAY 06:
Depart for the Dakhla Oasis, approximately a three hour drive. Have lunch and check-in at the Desert Lodge Hotel.

Walk the narrow alleys threading among the mud-brick structures. Be sure to take note of the four/five-story Ottoman houses with their wooden-grill windows and lintels carved with verses from the Koran. Visit the 12th century mosque. Two miles beyond Al-Qasr, is the El-Muzawwaka burial site, with its 1st and 2nd century tombs. Time permitting, visit Balat Village with its Pharaonic mastabas dating to the 6th Dynasty. Qasr Dakhla, situated to the north-west of Mut, is one of the fortified Medieval Islamic towns often seen in Dakhla. It rests on the Sioh Ridge, nestled beneath the pink limestone escarpment that marks the dates to 1518 on the Beit Ibrahim. The Islamic town, el-Qasr, meaning ‘the Fortress’ was probably founded around the 12th century AD by the Ayyubids, over the remains of an earlier Roman period settlement.
DAY 07:
After breakfast, leave for the Kharga Oasis, about a two hour drive. Prehistoric paintings of giraffes and antelopes decorate the sides of strangely-shaped rock formations along the 125 mile road between Dakhla and Kharga oases. Check-in at the Pioneer Hotel and have lunch before touring the area. Kharga is the most populous Oasis of the Western Desert, and though it offers a variety of sites of interest to visitors, including an ancient fortress and villages, the landscape is what most overwhelms travelers. Here you will encounter the desert as you had always imagined the desert would be. The bustling main city, whose inhabitants now number sixty thousand, including one thousand Nubians who settled here after the creation of Lake Nasser. The oasis is still growing and the Egyptian government has plans to reclaim even more of the desert areas to offer land and homes to people in the overcrowded Nile Valleys as well as to make the area more attractive. Visit the newly constructed Kharga Museum, which houses an excellent collection of regional artifacts from various eras. A mile out of town is the temple of Hibis, built by the Persian emperor Darius in the 6th century BC and dedicated to God Amun. A mile farther is the fascinating necropolis of Bagawat, a Coptic Christian burial ground dating to the 4th century.

Transfer to the Aswan airport and fly to Abu Simbel, built by Ramesses II in ancient Nubia, to demonstrate his power and his divine nature.

The temple was cut out of the sandstone cliffs above the Nile River in an area near the Second Cataract.
