Egypt
Apart from the vivid impressions of ancient civilization like the pyramids, pharaohs, and Cleopatra, Egypt also boasts many royal-level hotels, restaurants, and riverboats. On this trip, we will not only take you to explore Egypt’s famous attractions but also let you experience the luxurious hotels and restaurants frequented by heads of state and celebrities.
Giza Pyramid Complex
The pyramids protect the pharaohs as they transition from mortals to gods and ascend to the heavens. Their immense power compelled successive pharaohs to invest considerable wealth, labor, and effort into their construction. The Giza Pyramid Complex, located on the Giza Plateau near Cairo, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 and was honored as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World on July 7, 2007. In front of the majestic Giza Pyramids, we have specially arranged for two camels, allowing you to ride them for a memorable photo opportunity.
The second pyramid is the tomb of King Khafre, the son of Khufu, built around 2650 BC, making it 4,667 years old. Due to its elevated position, its architectural form is even more perfect and spectacular. Let’s enter the pyramid and explore its mysteries.
Saladin Citadel
The Saladin Citadel began construction in 1176 AD and is situated on top of the Muqattam Hills in Old Cairo, Egypt. The citadel is like a miniature city, featuring not only the Al-Nasir Muhammad Mosque but also a police museum, a military museum, and other buildings.”
9 Pyramids Lounge
9 Pyramids Lounge, located near the Giza Pyramids, opened in 2020 and is the first restaurant situated right beside the pyramids. Covering an area of approximately 405 square meters, it offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Dining here allows guests to overlook the nine magnificent pyramids, providing an impressive experience of the grandeur of these historical monuments.
Sphinx
Located next to the Pyramid of Khafre, the Sphinx was built around 2558–2532 BC, making it approximately 4,500 years old. Between its massive paws lies a granite slab known today as the ‘Dream Stele,’ which records how it was once buried beneath shifting sands.
Mena House Hotel 139 Restaurant
During World War II, the Cairo Conference was held here, attended by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Chiang Kai-shek, and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Mena House, the century-old palace hotel closest to the pyramids, was transformed from an old palace. It was here that Churchill hosted the Cairo Conference. Many famous personalities, including American entrepreneur Bill Gates, renowned detective novelist Arthur Conan Doyle, and comedian Charlie Chaplin, have stayed here. A visit to Mena House wouldn’t be complete without dining at the 139 Restaurant, which features a garden landscape with a shallow pool reflecting the famous Khufu Pyramid. The combination of fine cuisine and stunning views creates a romantic atmosphere, making it an invaluable dining experience.

On April 3, 2021, the museum held the globally sensational ‘Pharaohs’ Golden Parade,’ transporting a total of 22 ancient Egyptian mummies (18 pharaohs and 4 queens) from the old Egyptian Museum to the new museum. The museum officially opened to the public the following day.

Also known as the ‘Egyptian National Museum,’ it was built in 1901 and is located in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. The museum houses 120,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt, making it one of the largest museums in Egypt.
In addition to mummies and the famous golden mask of Tutankhamun, the most impressive artifacts include a high heel shoe, a toothbrush, and a condom. These inventions date back three thousand years, and we continue to improve and use them today. The ancient wisdom of Egypt is truly remarkable.
Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church
Located in Old Cairo’s Coptic area, the Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church is the oldest Christian church in Egypt, dating back to the 4th century. According to the Gospel of Matthew, King Herod ordered the massacre of all young boys in Bethlehem, and the Virgin Mary fled to Egypt with the infant Jesus, supposedly residing in the crypt beneath the church.The church is dedicated to Saints Sergius and Bacchus, 4th-century Christian soldiers who were martyred in Syria by the Roman Emperor Maximian. It is traditionally believed that the church was built over the dwelling place of the Holy Family during their time in Egypt.According to tradition, Joseph was instructed by an angel to take his wife Mary and the infant Jesus to Egypt to escape. It is said that when they arrived in Egypt, they rested at this location. They likely stayed here for some time, with Joseph working nearby in the Babylon Fortress to support the family. As a result, this church holds special significance in Christian history, and many bishops in the Coptic area have been chosen from this church.
Place where Jesus took refuge
Legend has it that the Virgin Mary once took refuge with the infant Jesus in the crypt beneath the site of the Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church.
Hanging Church
The Hanging Church, also known as the Church of St. Mary, is referred to locally as El-Muallaqa, which means ‘suspended.’ Built in the 3rd to 4th century, it has a history of over 1,500 years and is one of the oldest churches in Egypt. The church is situated above the walls of the southwest gate of the Babylon Fortress in Old Cairo. Upon entering the church from the right side, visitors can see the suspended city walls below through the glass. The main body of the church is suspended over an archway, giving it the name ‘Hanging Church.

This time, we will enter the ‘Sleeping Rose City,’ allowing you to leave your footprints in this millennium-old heritage site. Its ancient architectural features have made it a popular filming location for many movies, such as the ‘Indiana Jones’ series and ‘Transformers.
Petra’s Al-Khazneh Temple
Referred to as the ‘Treasury’ by the local Bedouins, Petra’s Al-Khazneh Temple is said to contain treasures at its peak, which is how it got its nickname. It is one of the most exquisite temples of the ancient world. This site was also a filming location for the third installment of the ‘Indiana Jones’ series, where the classic scene searching for the Holy Grail took place. The Greek-style architectural facade is entirely carved from rock, and the temple displays different colors depending on the angle of sunlight, adding a touch of romance to the atmosphere.
Wadi Musa Stone
The Bible recounts the story of Moses striking the rock twice to bring forth water, with the second occurrence happening in the wilderness of Jordan, near the ancient city of Petra (Exodus 17:1-6). As a result of this action, God did not allow Moses to enter the Promised Land, and he passed away in Moab at the age of 120. Why did this happen? Let the guide explain it to you.
