The GnT Egypt Experience begins in Cairo with some of the earliest tombs and pyramids at Saqqara, a visit to the mysterious Serapeum, as well as the chance to go inside the Bent Pyramid. To give everyone a chance to meet each other and to recover from travelling, we shall meet a day earlier at a hotel in the general Giza/Saqqara area, then we can begin day one, refreshed and rested.

At the end of the first day, an evening flight will take you south to Luxor and the start of an unhurried journey of discovery through the one-time capital of the land of the Pharaohs and the extraordinary burial grounds of Ancient Egypt’s New Kingdom. You will visit some of the more interesting tombs and temples in the Luxor area, many of which are not on the general tourist itineraries. Drawing on his knowledge, resources and personal experiences from the past 13 years, your host will lead you on a fascinating exploration back in time.

You will walk the paths of not just kings and queens from the distant past, but also those of the nobility of the age, the men and women who held the reins of officialdom in the name of the Pharaoh, and the oft-forgotten workmen who laboured under extreme conditions to bring these massive undertakings to life.

After nearly a week in Luxor, an evening flight will take you back to Cairo ready for an early start, which begins with a visit to Egypt’s most famous landmark, the Giza Plateau, home to the Pyramids and the Sphinx, where you will have the opportunity to go inside the Great Pyramid, followed by an afternoon at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir. Your final day will be spent exploring the new Grand Egyptian Museum. You will then be driven to Cairo International Airport in time for your international departure.

Everything included in the tour itinerary is the ideal, best case scenario, however things can change and we will always do our best to make alternative plans if necessary.
