What to see in Egypt in 8 days:
Day 1: Arrival in Cairo
Once you’re in Cairo for the evening, plan a relaxing dinner cruise on the Nile with a show of folk belly dancing and the traditional Tanoura dance. After that, we return to the motel where we stay for the night.
Day 2: Excursion to the pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara
Going to Giza on your second full day in Egypt would be best. Start your first full day in Cairo by going to Saqqara, where the Step Pyramid of Djoser is located. This pyramid is often seen as the typical Egyptian pyramid. Visit the monument of Ramses II in Memphis, then the Pyramid of Dahshur. The top of the pyramid of Dahshur is oval because the architect made a mistake. The Red Pyramid is nearby, and it got its name from the colour of the stones used in its construction.
After lunch, go to Giza to see the three most famous pyramids in the world (The pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure). This enclosure is also home to the Sphinx.
Day 3: Tour the temples of Abu Simbel
On the third day of your 8-day trip to Egypt, you should leave the hotel early to have time to visit one of the most famous temples:
The first step in the trip to Luxor is a private flight to Cairo International Airport.
In 1200 BC, King Ramesses II of Egypt built the Abu Simbel Temple to honour his victory in the Battle of Kadesh in 1274. Abu Simbel consists of two temples. King Ramesses II is older than Queen Nefertari.
On February 22, the king’s birthday, the temple hosts a party for the sake of the sun.
After the Aswan High Dam construction, Lake Nasser was close to swallowing up these temples. In 1968, UNESCO moved them to a safer place. Have lunch at a local restaurant before returning to Aswan to catch the first-class train to Luxor.
Day 4: Visit the important Attractions of Luxor – Go to Hurghada.
Karnak Temple:
Most people would agree that the Karnak Temple is the largest religious building in Egypt, if not the world. It was built in Egypt during the Middle Kingdom and called the Temple of Amun. There were temples of Osiris, Isis, and Ptah, but the main point of the complex was the Theban trinity (Amun, Mut and Khonsu).
The Temple of Hatshepsut:
The Temple of Hatshepsut in Egypt is the oldest surviving temple of the best, and it was built to honour both Amun and Queen Hatshepsut. TeTempleas was constructed in 1479 BC when the new empire of the 18th Dynasty had been in power for 15 years, and all other temples in the New Kingdom did the same. After eating at a local restaurant in Luxor for some food, head out to see the city.
Valley of the Kings:
In the Valley of the Kings are tombs of 63 pharaohs from the eighteenth to the twentieth Dynasty. There are tombs of Seti I, Ramesses III, Ramesses VI and many other pharaohs. Most tourists who want to see the tomb of Tutankhamun go to the Valley of the Kings.
The Colossi of Memnon: There are two giant statues of King Amenophis III, the only things left of the temple where Amenophis III was buried. Floods from the Nile damaged the sculptures, and in 27 BC, an earthquake destroyed them all.
Days 5: snorkelling in Hurghada
After breakfast at your accommodation, you will go snorkelling and do other things underwater.
Hurghada is known for its pleasant weather, many things to do in the water, and busy nightlife. Many Europeans like to go to Hurghada in the winter.
Hurghada has a good reputation for its many beautiful islands and coral reefs. Giftun Island National Park is located on the other side of Hurghada, and it has many desert islands and islets with a beautiful seabed. It is no coincidence that people come from all over the world.
The islands of Abu Ramada, Magawish, and Munkar, as well as Giftun Island and its smaller neighbour, Little Giftun, are also nearby. El Dahar is the oldest neighbourhood in Hurghada, Sakkara is the oldest, and Qara road is the newest. While the bus station, post office, and market are all in Dahar, you can find more affordable hotels in Sakkara.
Day 6: Safari adventure in Hurghada
The next stop on your 8-day trip to Egypt is Hurghada, where you will go on a desert safari.
Spend time in the desert with the Bedouins, learning as much about them as possible. You will go to a Bedouin village in the eastern desert of Egypt during your stay. You can ride camels, learn about the local culture, and watch the sunset over the dunes. On a quad bike safari through the unknown desert of Hurghada, you may have an adventure you will never forget and see amazing things. You can also drive a quad on a sandbank, which is a lot of fun. Eat at one of the restaurants before seeing how the Nile overflows yearly and damages the statues in Luxor.
Day 7: Take The Flight To Cairo – Visit Cairo Attractions.
Breakfast will be served at Hurghada Hotel. The next step is to go to Hurghada airport and get a flight to Cairo. When I was in Cario,
The Egyptian Museum:
A trip to the Egyptian Museum will not be a waste of time. Many ancient things and antiquities date back more than 4,000 years to the Pharaonic era of ancient Egypt. The Museum includes mummies of many of Egypt’s most influential rulers. The Museum contains more than 120,000 handcrafted objects. Gold, silver, gems, wood, and stone were used to make statues, jewellery, and funerary goods, such as the golden mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. You may also see the bodies of the pharaohs. After we tour the Egyptian Museum, we will have lunch at a nearby restaurant. Then we move on to:
National Museum of Egyptian Civilization:
The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is known worldwide because it is the only Museum in Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa. This is the first Museum focusing on ancient and prehistoric cultures. The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is located in Fustat, part of Old Cairo, and was the first Arab capital of Egypt. It overlooks the hot springs at Ain al-Sira. Many other places in Egypt, such as the Cairo Museum, the Museum of Islamic Art, the Museum of Coptic Art, and the Royal Jewelry Museum in Alexandria, have given objects to the Museum.
Hanging Church:
The name “Hanging Church” comes from the building built on the site of the gate of a Roman fortress. Work began in the first century and continued until the third century. The cathedral was built where the Holy Family hid from the king of the Philistines. Older than the 110 images in the book were made in the 9th century.
Amr ibn al-Aas Mosque is the most famous because it was the first mosque built in Egypt and Africa. You find the tomb of Ibn Amr ibn al-Aas on one side of the mosque. In 641 AD, the Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque was built. During the Islamic period in Egypt, they repaired it more than once. For this reason, it is the best way to see how Islamic building styles have changed over time.
Ben Ezra Synagogue:
It is the oldest and most prominent building in Cairo and has stood the test of time. The word “synagogue” was used to talk about the church. However, Ibrahim ibn Ezra al-Maqdisi bought the church for 20,000 dinars in 882, when he raised the taxes that the Muslim kings of the Ahmad ibn Tulun dynasty had to pay each year. Since then, the church has been transformed into a Jewish place of worship. Until the 1950s, it was Egypt’s largest and most crucial synagogue.
Khan El Khalili Market:
More people walk on it than on any other Middle Eastern street. Around 970 BC, the city of Cairo was built, and this street was a major thoroughfare in the old part of Cairo. All buildings on the road are made in the style of Islamic architecture. You and I will return to the hotel in Cairo, where we will stay the night.
Day 8: The End of your tour to Cairo, Luxor, Abu Simbel, and Hurghada
After your last breakfast in the land of the Pharaohs, we will take you to Cairo International Airport to finish your 8-day trip to Egypt.
