National Museum of Egyptian Civilization:

NMEC is considered the first of its kind in Egypt and the Arab world to display the full scope of the wealthy and diversity of Egyptian civilization throughout the ages, from prehistoric times to the present day. This is by highlighting the interaction between Egyptians and the land on which they lived throughout history through selected cultural topics to highlight the tangible and intangible heritage of Egypt.

The Museum of Civilization is also an important educational and research center for Egyptian and foreign visitors. And one of attraction you can see in your Egypt Itinerary 10 days.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is located in the heart of the historic city of Fustat, in Old Cairo. The choice of the city of Fustat to be the headquarters of the museum was deliberate, as its geographical surroundings include antiquities of different civilizations, and it is the best evidence of the tolerance of religions in Egypt, the cradle of civilizations.

The Pharaohs took it as a place for a large city, and the Babylonians made it a place for them to settle when they descended to Egypt. Then the Romans made it a base for their defense, and connected the coastal and tribal areas with it. And keep every foreign aggressor against Egypt away from it.

Then the Jews and Christians made it a place to perform their rituals as well.  Amr Al-Aaas also made it the capital and home of the Muslim migration. The museum’s location is also distinguished by the fact that it contains a rare natural lake, Ain Al-Sira Lake, which is the only lake remaining in Cairo after noon. From many lakes.

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali:

The Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha or the Alabaster Mosque is a mosque located in the Cairo Citadel in Egypt. Its construction was ordered by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848.  

Located atop the citadel, this Ottoman mosque is the largest mosque built in the first half of the 19th century and, with its animated appearance and twin minarets, is the most visible mosque in Cairo.  

The mosque was built in memory of Tosun Pasha, the eldest son of Muhammad Ali, who died in 1816.

This mosque and citadel are among Cairo’s tourist attractions and landmarks and one of the first landmarks to be seen when approaching the city in any direction. 

The mosque was built on the site of the ancient Mamluk buildings in the Cairo Citadel between 1830 and 1848, and was only completed during the reign of Said Pasha in 1857. The architect was Youssef Bushnak from Istanbul and his model was the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in that city. The land on which the mosque was built was built with the ruins of the castle’s previous buildings. 

Before the mosque was completed, the alabaster panels were removed from the upper walls and used in the palaces of Abbas I. The walls were clad in wood and painted to look like marble. In 1899, the mosque showed signs of cracks and some inadequate repairs were made. But the condition of the mosque became so serious that King Fuad ordered a complete restoration scheme in 1931, and it was finally completed under King Farouk in 1939.  

Muhammad Ali Pasha was buried in a tomb carved from Carrara marble, in the courtyard of the mosque. His body was transferred here from Hosh Al-Pasha in 1857.

---

Enjoy your breakfast at hotel then join to your Egyptologist tour guide to start your Egypt Itinerary 10 days by Visiting:

On the second day, visit the Saqqara area, where the Step Pyramid of Djoser is located. This pyramid is of great importance because it was the first model for all the pyramids that came after it. Then there was Memphis, where the statue of Ramesses II is located, and the pyramids of Dahshur, which are attractive because their tops are oval. In the same area there is the Red Pyramid, which was given this name due to the color of the stones that make up it.

Then move to Giza, where the three most famous pyramids in the world are located: the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure.

The Great Sphinx:

The Sphinx is located in Giza Governorate. It is one of the most famous statues in Egypt, in addition to being the largest and oldest statue in the world. Its length reaches about seventy-three meters, and its height reaches approximately twenty meters. It should be noted that it is distinguished by its strange shape, which appears in the form of a lion’s body and a human head decorated with a royal headdress.

It turned out that the material from which the statue was carved was a single piece of stone. Al-Jaridi, indicating that its completion took a time of up to three years according to estimates, and it is noteworthy that it required about a hundred workers. It is believed that the date of the sculpture of the statue dates back to about two thousand five hundred BC by the ruler Khafre

The Great Pyramid of Cheops:

The Great Pyramid of Khufu, also called (Cheops),  one of attraction you can see in your Egypt Itinerary 10 days. Was built on the Giza Plateau and is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It still exists today and is always visited by travelers. It is the first thing that appears on the horizon if, like most people. Visitors, you are coming from Al-Ahram Street.

This marvel was completed around 2560 BC, and was originally over 145 meters high (today reduced to 138 due to the removal of external architectural elements). Higher than any structure built before the industrial era, it is a marvel of mathematics and engineering, built on the basis of highly advanced engineering knowledge and techniques.

The Pyramid of Khafre:

The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest pyramid in Egypt, as its height is only about 10 meters less than the Great Pyramid. The pyramid is distinguished by the fact that remains of the original cladding are preserved in its upper part.

Khafre built his pyramid at Giza next to his father’s pyramid. His pyramid complex is better preserved than others, thanks in part to an innovative construction method using massive limestone blocks surrounded by a shell of thin slabs. The entire complex served as a temple to the resurrected god-pharaoh after his funeral.

Pyramid of Menkaure:

Menkaure’s Pyramid, the third and smallest of the Great Pyramids of Giza, is attributed to Pharaoh Menkaure. It is believed that this structure was completed at the end of the twenty-sixth century BC.

At the end of your second day in Your Egypt Itinerary 10 Days tour, we will drive you back to your 5* hotel for the overnight.

Days 3: Fly to Luxor

---

Enjoy Your Breakfast in the morning, then join to your Tour Guide and fly to Luxor  to continue your Egypt Itinerary 10 days tour package by exploring the following amazing landmarks

Take a flight from Cairo to Luxor and spend some time in this historic and culture city. We advise you to spend this day going to places that are not usually part of a Nile cruise, such as the Temple of Ramesses II, the Temple of Seti I, and the Valley of the Nobles.

Valley of the Nobles:

The Next tour in your Egypt itinerary 10 days will be in The Valley of the Nobles which includes tombs made for the sophisticates of the Egyptian court, the leaders of the high priests of the Middle and New Kingdom and one of attraction you can see in your Egypt Itinerary 10 days. The tombs are simple in design, and they all have the same design.

The valley is well preserved and most of its tombs were found intact and untouched. The wall still retains its new colorful scenes of workers going about their work in the fields, architects, craftsmen, musicians and daily life of the Egyptian court in general.

Tombs of the Nobles are located in the city of Luxor on the western coast. Each tomb is identified by a number, perhaps the most famous tomb in the Valley of the Nobles is that of Ramos with number 55. The Tombs of the Nobles also contain other important tombs such as the tombs of Khaemahet and Neferhapef.

The Temple of Ramses II

The Temple of Ramesses II is a subtractive necropolis located near the west bank of the Nile River in Upper Egypt. The tomb is completely removed from the mountainside, in contrast to the additional nature of the Temple of Khons. Not only was the temple of Ramesses II thrown deep into the mountain, but the side of the cliff was also thrown out to create the front face of the temple. The front façade consists of four huge statues of Ramesses II. Not to be confused with the pylon at the Temple of Khons, it creates a similar effect through its vertical and monumental construction.

 Day 8: Visiting Aswan Landmarks

Enjoy Your Breakfast in the morning, then join to your Tour Guide and continue your  Egypt Itinerary 10 days tour package by exploring the following amazing landmarks

You will have already done some of the things to do in this city, but if you still have time, you can stop by a few more times. The famous Philae Temple, Aswan Dam, Nubian Museum and the unfinished obelisk are some interesting places to visit.

Philae Temple:

The Temple of Isis at Philae one of attractions you can see in your Egypt Itinerary 10 days and was built during the reign of Ptolemy II (Greco-Roman Egypt) and is dedicated to Isis, Osiris, and Horus. The temple walls include scenes from Egyptian mythology of Isis bringing Osiris back to life, giving birth to Horus, and mummifying Osiris after his death.

Since ancient times the island has been sacred to the goddess Isis. The complex of temples of the Temple of Isis was completed by Ptolemy II Philadelphus (r. 285-246 BC) and his successor Ptolemy III Euergetes (r. 246-221 BC).

Its decorations, which date back to the period of the late Ptolemies and the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius (27 BC – 37 AD), were not completed. The Roman Emperor Hadrian (r. 117-138 AD) added a gate to the west of the complex. Other small temples or shrines dedicated to Egyptian gods include a temple to Imhotep, a temple to Hathor, and chapels to Osiris, Horus, and Nephthys.

Aswan Dam: 

The Aswan High Dam is one of the most famous attractions you must see in your Egypt itinerary 10 Days, a rock-filled dam across the Nile River in Aswan, Egypt, was completed in 1970 (and officially opened in January 1971) at a cost of about $1 billion. The Aswan High Dam brings enormous benefits to the Egyptian economy. For the first time in history, the yearly Nile flood is under human control.

The dam traps flood water and releases it when needed to maximize its benefit on irrigated lands, irrigate hundreds of thousands of new hectares, and improve navigation above and below Aswan, and generate huge amounts of hydroelectric power (the dam’s 12 turbines can generate 10 billion kilowatt-hours per year). The dam reservoir also supports the fishing industry.

Nubian Museum:

We will continue your Egypt Itinerary 10 Days by visiting The Nubian Museum is considered one of the most beautiful museums in Egypt and the whole world and one of attraction you can see in your Egypt Itinerary 10 days, as it has a unique architectural design. In 2001, this museum won the Aga Khan Award as the most beautiful architectural building in the world.

The architect who designed this museum is the Egyptian architect Mahmoud Al-Hakim, and the museum exhibitions were designed by Mexican designer Pedro Ramírez Varquez. The process of building this museum cost Egypt about 75 million Egyptian pounds.

The museum opened its doors to visitors in November 1997. Its opening ceremony is hosted by the famous singer Mohamed Mounir, one of Aswan’s sons. The idea of ​​building this museum was to save Nubian antiquities. Building this museum was part of UNESCO’s campaign to save antiquities from the construction of the High Dam. Plans for its construction began in the eighties of the last century.

Unfinished Obelisk:

It was built in a very unique way as it was based on the Greek architectural style which had four sides that converged in a small pyramid shape at the top of the obelisk. It was built in the New Kingdom during the Eighteenth Dynasty by Queen Hatshepsut, wife of King Thutmose II (1478-1458 BC), to be placed in the Karnak Temple and to complete the Lateran Obelisk, which was originally located in Karnak before it was transferred to Rome.

It is located in its original location in a red granite quarry in Aswan, and if completed, it would reach 42 meters in length, making it the tallest obelisk in history, but unfortunately the project was abandoned due to the discovery of many cracks in the obelisk. It would also have been the heaviest obelisk, weighing 1,200 tons.

At the end of your day in Your Egypt Itinerary 10 Days tour, we will drive you back to your 5* hotel for the overnight.

Days 9: The Red Sea

---

I think it’s time to take a well-deserved break by the sea. We recommend that the last part of your Egypt Itinerary 10 days be in Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh or Dahab. The hotels are better in the first two places, but Dahab has a backpacker vibe, and we think the beaches are better there. You can take a bus from Cairo or fly to Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada to get there.

Marsa Alam is another option if you like going to lesser known places. You can dive or snorkel from all these places to see the bottom of the rich Red Sea.
