Hi9ghlights include the pyramids and sphinx at Giza, the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Ramses III on the West Bank of the Nile. Families also visit the underground chambers of the royal pyramid at Saqqara and learn about every day life in ancient Egypt at the Pharaonic Village. In Luxor they see how to make a mummy at the Museum of Mummification, and there's an evening visit to the Light and Sound show at the Karnak temple.

There is an optional extension of four or seven nights at the beech resort of Hurghada on the Red Sea.
