As the November Tour in completely booked out we only have vacancies for October 20th group, including a spot for a female to twin-share. More info CLICK HERE
This is a Once in a Lifetime opportunity to see this iconic monument up close, most tourists will never gain this sort of access and no major tour companies can offer this experience.
As the sun rises over the Giza Plateau with the Great Pyramid towering behind us we will stand in the Paws of the Sphinx in our own private group and be able to view the Dream Stele, something that most visitors never get to see.
The Dream Stele has been standing between the Paws of the Great Sphinx at Giza for over 3,400 years. The 18th Dynasty's Thutmose IV had it put there to immortalise a deal he made with the colossal statue when he was a young Prince—but not the Crown Prince.
The Giza Plateau, already ancient in Thutmose's time, was a playground for the young royal who came here to have some princely fun: target practice, lion hunting and chariot racing. One can't blame him for wanting to take a break from the blistering midday sun, and Thutmose sat down to nap in the shadow of the Great Sphinx.
While he slept, the Sphinx appeared to Thutmose in a dream and made him a deal that the ambitious young royal couldn't refuse. Although he wasn't next in line, the Sphinx promised Thutmose the throne if he freed the great statue from the desert sand.
Of course, it's possible that Thutmose made up the entire story simply to legitimise his position as a god-given one.
Not only will we have the experience of the PRIVATE VISIT to the mighty Sphinx and explore the Pyramids on the Giza Plateau, we will visit the Temples at Abu Simbel, (pic above)
Philae, Edfu, Komombo, Luxor and Karnak.
We have timed our trip perfectly to be sailing the Nile at Sunset on the Full Moon.
We spend 3 Nights cruising the Nile from Aswan to Luxor on-board the
5 Star Nile Cruise, Sonesta St George
before returning to Cairo to visit the
Egyptian Museum and the Mask of King Tutankhamun
This tour has so many highlights that will fulfill all your dreams.
