We suggested Egypt Itinerary 4 Days :
Day 1: Giza Pyramids
Go to the Great Pyramid of Giza to start your trip. You would, of course. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only Ancient Wonder still standing today, and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure stand next to them.
Many tombs, monuments, and cemeteries from ancient Egypt, such as the Tomb of Queen Khentkaus and the ruins of a once-bustling workers’ community. Ride a horse or take a carriage pulled by a team of horses to get the best view of the Great Sphinx.
After a fun morning learning about ancient Egypt, visit Abou Shakra for traditional Egyptian food. It has a beautiful view of the pyramids and a long list of traditional Egyptian dishes.
After a short nap and tea, it’s time to visit the Egyptian Museum. Take a taxi downtown. Most of them are around Tahrir Square. The museum opened in 1835, and over 120,000 Egyptian artifacts were put there over time. Stay a little longer downtown. Walk along the Nile on the Qasr El Nile Bridge and get fresh air and a hummus drink.
Day 2: Cairo Citadel and Khan Al-Khalili
Cairo Citadel
Start your day off by going to the Citadel (which includes a series of essential monuments; The Mosque of Suleiman Pasha, The Mohamed Ali Mosque, and Mohamed Ali Pasha Palace)
Khan Al-Khalili
Check out the stores in Khan El Khalili. The shops in this area are known for selling high-quality bronze and copper items, perfumes, leather goods, silver, gold, antiques, and much more.
Day 3: One-day tour in Luxor
Valley of the Kings
Start your tour of the Valley of the Kings with the Tombs of the Pharaohs of the New Kingdom.
Colossi of Memnon
See the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Amenophis III facing the Nile. Three thousand four hundred years ago, on the west bank of the Nile, there were two colossal statues of Amenophis II. Figures show the pharaoh kneeling with his hands clasped together as he looks at the rising sun. Each figure is 18 meters high and weighs 1,300 tons.
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
The design of the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut is unlike any other. It usually has three levels of huge terraces, the main one carved into the side of a mountain. This temple is a place to honor the god Amun Ra.
Hatshepsut must be known as one of the most important rulers of Egypt because she came to power upon the death of Thutmose II. The next stop is the Valley of the Queens, where the royal women and wives of the pharaoh are buried.
Luxor Temple
The next excursion is the Luxor Temple, where you can see the granite sculptures of Ramses the Great, the East Bank, and Karnak.
Temple of Karnak
Then continue to Karnak, a group of temples built over many dynasties. From Sphinx Avenue, you can go to the unfinished Obelisk, the Hypostyle Hall with its vast 134 columns, the obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, the Temple of Amun decorated with lotus and papyrus motifs.
Day 4: Fly to Aswan
Spend time in Aswan during the second half of your four-day trip to Egypt.
The Unfinished Obelisk
Unfinished Obelisk located north of Aswan. And Queen Hatshepsut demanded it is built in a granite quarry in the Luxor Temple in Karnak.
The method of carving the Obelisk shows how skillful the ancient Egyptians were. It weighs 1,200 tons and is 42 meters high. At some point, the boulder began to collapse, and it was left alone.
Abu Simbel
Abu Simbel is an integral part of Egyptian history. The building is part of the Open Air Museum of Nubia and Aswan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. It was built around 1265 BC.
Ramesses II (13th century BC) carved this building out of the rock to honor his and Nefertari’s victory at the Battle of Kadesh and to show the Nubians that Egypt was in charge. There are two temples there, and Nefertari, married to Ramesses II, had a smaller temple built in her honor.
Philae Temple
On a rocky island was Philae Temple, a temple of the goddess Isis (the goddess of love in ancient Egypt). Set was an ancient Egyptian deity who represented terrible things.
Set is said to have killed Osiris, but his wife, the goddess Isis, shed tears that brought him back to life. Isis took refuge on the island of Philae. After the construction of the High Dam in Aswan, the Philae temple was safe from the rising waters of the Nile. Between 1964 and 1968, UNESCO transferred it to the island of Anjelica.
Temple of Kom Ombo
Then head to the city of Kom Ombo in the Aswan Governorate in Upper Egypt to see the impressive Kom Ombo Temple, which consists of two temples. It was built during the Ptolemies (180-47 BC), and the Romans added to it over time.
After four days of sightseeing in Egypt, you will be transferred to Cairo International Airport or Aswan International Airport to catch your flight home.
