Day 2
After breakfast at 9:00 AM, your guide heads to Saqqara first to see the Step Pyramid of Zoser. Then you'll move on to Giza, where you can see the three Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure, along with the Sphinx. Once back at your hotel, the rest of the day is yours to rest.

Early morning brings a trip to Abu Simbel to see the two massive temples of Ramses II. You'll return to your dahabiya and then start sailing toward Luxor. The rest of your day is free to relax on the boat.
