After breakfast, your guide leads a private tour of the legendary Pyramids of Giza. Everyone can stand before the Great Pyramid of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos, and enjoy a camel ride with panoramic desert views. The visit continues to the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple, where you’ll learn about ancient rituals. Lunch is served at a local restaurant before heading to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where interactive displays bring ancient Egypt to life for kids and adults alike.

Enjoy breakfast before flying to Aswan, a city known for its relaxed pace and colorful Nubian culture. Tour the beautiful Philae Temple, set on an island and dedicated to Isis. Next, a motorboat takes your family to a Nubian village, where you can visit painted homes, meet locals, and try Nubian snacks. Kids will especially enjoy seeing pet crocodiles. Board your Nile cruise, have lunch on deck, and take in the views as you settle in for your trip along the Nile.
