Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Nowhere else lets you stand before a 4,500-year-old wonder still standing. Egypt is history at its most staggering.
The route
The Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, the treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum, then south to Luxor's temples and tombs and the calm Nile at Aswan.
Do it by boat
A Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan is the classic way to see the great temples. Carry small notes for tips, dress modestly, and start sightseeing early.
