The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

The first museum of civilization in the Arab world, the NMEC will present a comprehensive view of Egyptian civilization from prehistory to the present day, taking a multidisciplinary thematic approach designed to highlight Egyptโ€™s tangible and intangible heritage. A museum of a new kind, unknown so far in Egypt and the entire Middle East region, the NMECโ€™s main goal is to โ€œshare knowledgeโ€, to connect with the surrounding Egyptian society and to offer international visitors a richer and deeper insight into the meaning of Egyptian culture through the ages.

The Citadel of Cairo

Salah Al-Deen (known as Saladin to European historians) overthrew the Fatimid dynasty in 1171 AD, establishing the new Sunni Ayyubid Caliphate. Given the threat of invasion by European crusader armies, Saladin decided to improve the fortifications of the city and in 1176 AD he began construction of a wall that would encircle both Al-Qahira (today Islamic) and Fustat (Old Cairo). Saladinโ€™s Citadel served as the seat of government in Egypt for 700 years until Khedive Ismail moved into Abdin Palace in newly constructed Downtown Cairo in the 1870โ€™s.

Mohamed Ali Mosque

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali is located inside the Citadel of Salah alโ€‘Din alโ€‘Ayyubi (Saladin) in Cairo. It was built by Muhammad Ali Pasha (1220โ€“1264 AH/1805โ€“1848 AD), the founder of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty (1220โ€“1372 AH/1805โ€“1953 AD), on the site of Mamluk palaces. He had these demolished to make room for his new building, which is also known as the "Alabaster Mosque", in reference to its marble paneling on its interior and exterior walls. The mosqueโ€™s twin minarets are the highest in all of Egypt, each reaching a height of 84 meters.ย 

National Military Museum

This museum is the first of its kind to be devoted to the history of the Egyptian military through the ages. The museum was first located in the building of the Ministry of Defense in Falaki in 1937, after which it was transferred to another building in the neighborhood of Garden City in 1938, before finally being transferred to al-Haram Palace in 1949 in the Cairo Citadel in 1949.

National Police Museum

The National Police Museum is one of the museums in the Salah al-Din Citadel, located in its northern section. Its exhibitions display the history of Egyptโ€™s police force.

Sultan Hassan & Elrefai Mosques

Mosque of Sultan Hassan is a primal example of the early Islamic Mamluk architecture between 1356 A.D and 1363 A.D. The Mosque is 150m in length and covering 7,906 sq m inland and its walls reach the height of 36 m.

Day 9: ๐Ÿบ๐ŸŒ„ Luxor Treasures Day Tour | Sail to Edfu ๐Ÿšขโœจ

( Balloon Rideโ€“ Hatshepsut โ€“ Memnon Colossi โ€“ Valley of the Kings โ€“ Tomb of Tut Ankh Amun โ€“ Seti I โ€“ Ramses V โ€“ Merenptah โ€“ Ramses II โ€“ Ramses IV)

In the beautiful morning from your Nile Cruise in Luxor, our tour guide will meet you to take you to enjoy a journey in the west bank of Luxor where you will visit:

The Valley of the Kings

The rulers of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of Egyptโ€™s prosperous New Kingdom (c.1550โ€“1069 BC) were buried in a desolate dry river valley across the river from the ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor), hence its modern name of the Valley of the Kings. This moniker is not entirely accurate, however, since some members of the royal family aside from the king were buried here as well, as were a few non-royal, albeit very high-ranking, individuals.

The Tomb of King Tut Ankh Amun

The tomb of the Eighteenth Dynasty king Tutankhamun (c.1336โ€“1327 BC) is world-famous because it is the only royal tomb from the Valley of the Kings that was discovered relatively intact. Its discovery in 1922 by Howard Carter made headlines worldwide, and continued to do so as the golden artifacts and other luxurious objects discovered in this tomb.

The Tomb of King Ramses VI

This tomb was begun by King Ramesses V (c.1147โ€“1143 BC) of the Twentieth Dynasty. Although it is uncertain whether he was ultimately buried here, it is clear that his uncle Ramesses VI (c.1143โ€“1136 BC) enlarged the tomb and used it.

The Tomb of King Seti I

The tomb of Sety I is one of the longest, deepest, and most beautifully decorated tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Sety I (c.1294โ€“1279 BC) was the second king of the Nineteenth Dynasty, and father of Ramesses II (the Great). His tomb, number 17 in the Valley of the Kings, is sometimes called โ€œBelzoniโ€™s tombโ€ after its discoverer.

The Tomb of King Merenptah

ย The second-largest tomb in the valley, Merenptahโ€™s tomb has been open since antiquity and has its share of Greek and Coptic graffiti. Floods have damaged the lower part of the walls of the long tunnel-like tomb, but the upper parts have well-preserved reliefs. The corridors are decorated with the Book of the Dead, the Book of Gates and the Book of Amduat. Beyond a shaft is a false burial chamber with two pillars decorated with the Book of Gates.

The Tomb of King Ramses III

One of the most popular tombs in the valley, KV 11 is also one of the most interesting and best preserved. Originally started by Sethnakht (1186โ€“1184 BC), the project was abandoned when workers hit the shaft of another tomb (KV10). Work resumed under Ramses III (1184โ€“1153 BC), the last of Egyptโ€™s warrior pharaohs, with the corridor turning to the right, then left. It continues deep (125m overall) into the mountain and opens into a magnificent eight-pillared burial chamber.

The Tomb of King Ramses IV

ย Originally intended to be much larger, KV 2 was cut short at 89m on the early death of the pharaoh (1147 BC) and a pillared hall was converted to be the burial chamber. The sarcophagus is in place with a magnificent goddess Nut filling the ceiling above it. Close to the entrance of the valley, this tomb was opened in antiquity and inhabited (there is Greek, Roman and Coptic graffiti), and used as a hotel by many 18th- and 19th-century visitors.

The Temple of Hatshepsut

Hatshepsut (c.1473โ€“1458 BC), the queen who became Pharaoh, built a magnificent temple at Deir al-Bahari, on the west back of Luxor. It lies directly across the Nile from Karnak Temple, the main sanctuary of the god Amun. Hatshepsutโ€™s temple, Djeser-djeseru โ€œthe Holy of Holiesโ€ was designed by the chief steward of Amun, Senenmut.

The Colossi of Memnon

These two faceless colossi (the plural of colossus, which just means larger-than-life statue) are the first thing visitors see when they reach the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. This isn't surprising when you hear their dimensions: they tower 60 feet (18 m) above the plains and are estimated to weigh an enormous 720 tons each.

Your lunch will be served in a local restaurant before we go and check in at your hotel in Luxor and overnight.

Day 10: ๐Ÿ›๏ธโœจ Temples of the Nile Day Tour | Edfu & Kom Ombo Discovery Experience ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข

Included Activities ( The Temple Of Horus โ€“ The Temple of Sobek)

You can enjoy an early breakfast, while the cruise boat crosses the Esna lock to the city of Esna. Once the boat is moored you will visit the best-preserved temple in Egypt: The Temple of Horus.

Edfu Temple

Built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC, the Temple of Horus at Edfu is generally regarded to be the best-preserved of the Ancient Egyptian sanctuaries. For 200 years, the structure was buried under almost 40 feet (12 metres) of desert sand and silt from the Nile, which incredibly helped to conserve it to near-perfection.

After your visit to this superb temple, you will be taken back to the boat for your lunch while it sails onward to Kom Ombo. Enjoy sun bathing and tea time on the deck of the Cruise. Once a shore you will visit the Temple of Kom Ombo

Kom Ombo Temple

The temple is unique for its dedication to two different deities: the local crocodile-headed god Sobek, and the first "god of the Kingdom", the falcon-headed god Horus the Elder (also called Haroeris). This double dedication was deliberate. Not only is it architecturally duplicated, with two sets of courts, hypostyle halls and sanctuaries, the twin temple is symbolic of the local and Universalist themes that the two different deities represented. After this great visit you will return back to the cruise for your dinner being served as it sails majestically towards Aswan.

Day 11: ๐Ÿ›๏ธโœจ Abu Simbel & Nubian Heritage Luxury Experience | Timeless Temples & Culture ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒ

Activities Included Abu Simbel temples & the Nubia Museum

At the morning, enjoy your breakfast on the cruise then you will join your tour guide to the enchanting โ€œAbu Simbel Templeโ€ which is known to be a true piece of art. The two temples were carved out of the mountainside in 1200 BC during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II the second and his wife Queen Nefertari.

All the carvings, artwork, wall paintings, statues are extremely beautiful and tell incredible stories about Ramses victories at the battle of Kadesh and honor many gods like Ra, Amon, and Ptah.

Abu Simbel Temples

Abu Simbel temple complex includes 2 individual temples that were built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II. The great temple was built for the king himself to commemorate his coronation and his birthday and it has been built in a very impressive accurate way which makes the whole world await the Sun Festival that occurs only twice a year in the great temple of the Pharaoh to witness the miracle that occurs there. The smaller temple was built as a sign of love & appreciation from the king to his beloved queen Nefertari and she was the only wife of the king for whom he has built a temple.

Lunch will be served in a local restaurant before leaving back to Aswan and rest for a while in your hotel and in the evening we will visit the Nubian Museum where we can enjoy the great artifacts of the Nubians of Egypt and explore an important period of the ancient Egyptian history and Civilization.

The Nubian Museum

Opened in 1997, the Nubian Museum is a belated, but well-executed, tribute to the culture and influence of Nubia and the Nubian people on the history of Egypt. This ancient culture, every bit as old as that of Ancient Egypt, existed along the banks of the Nile for millennia in the areas we call southern Egypt and northern Sudan today.

After your tour finishes you will return back to the hotel and overnight in Aswan.
