Are you ready for an Egypt photography trip? We will take the second of a very enjoyable photography trip together, to one of the most mysterious places in history. Our first stop will be Cairo, where we will of course see the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx of Giza right in front of them. Recently, the mystery of the sphinx has begun to increase. There are rumors that there is a secret room under his left foot. After this mysterious environment, we will go to the old quarters of Cairo, which is a wonderful area for photographers with its fascinating and chaotic atmosphere.
Afterwards we will go to Luxor and Aswan. We will have an unforgettable journey on the Nile River for a few days, starting from Luxor, on five-star river boats and going all the way to Aswan. We will visit king tombs and villages. We will return to Cairo by plane again. We will finish our trip by visiting the places of Cairo that we have not seen. We will all live an Egyptian dream together. I saw the most impressive temples I’ve ever seen here and I was very impressed, I’m sure you will be too.
Program
Day 2: After our breakfast, our journey to Alexandria will begin. We will see the castle built on the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the 7 wonders of the world. Don’t expect too much, this part is a bit disappointing. However, the Library of Alexandria, built by a Norwegian design firm, is truly a place worth seeing. After visiting this place, we will go to the old neighborhoods of Alexandria and take some photos on the streets. We will return to Cairo in the evening and have dinner together.
Day 3: After our breakfast at the hotel, we will fly to Luxor. After landing at the airport, our trip will begin with a temple visit that will leave you very impressed. After our visit to Karnak Temple, we will go to our ship and settle in our rooms. After lunch, we will leave the ship to visit the Luxor Temple. We will return to our ship and start preparing for dinner. However, I definitely recommend you visit the Luxor Bazaar before your meal. After the visit, we will have our first dinner on board and settle into our rooms to rest.
Day 4: After our breakfast on the ship, we will visit the very impressive Hatshepsut Temple today. After the visit, we will return to our ship and have lunch. Our ship will sail to Edfou today. We will pass many enjoyable places along the way. We will have dinner on our ship again. We will have a long night journey. On this journey, our ship will pass through a canal around midnight. All ships are taken into this canal one by one and pass one by one. This will be a very interesting experience.
Day 5: We will have breakfast on the ship and the ship will continue its cruise. We will continue to take enjoyable photos along the way. After our lunch on board, we will reach Kom Ombo and visit the Kom Ombo Temple. Afterwards, we will return to our ship and have dinner. Our ship will start sailing towards Aswan, its final port.
Day 6: After having breakfast in Aswan, we will leave the ship very early, have a takeaway breakfast, and travel by bus to visit the Abu Simbel Temple. Here we will see a temple complex built for Ramses II and Nefertari. These magnificent temples have defied the years with all their beauty on the banks of the Nile River. Abu Simbel was built inside a giant rock over 20 years. There are 4 giant statues of Ramses at its gate. After the temple visit, we will return to Aswan. After lunch, we will visit the very colorful and very touristic Nubian Village. However, it is a beautiful photo platform as there are many colorful walls and people walking around in traditional clothes in this village. We will have dinner together on our ship again.
Day 7: After our breakfast on board, we will take our luggage and leave. We will take some photos in Aswan before our flight to Cairo. We will go to the airport to fly to Cairo around noon. When we reach Cairo, we will have dinner and go to our hotel to rest.
Day 8: After our breakfast, we will visit Kavalalı Mehmet Ali Pasha Mosque and its surroundings. As we all know, Kavalalı Mehmet Ali Pasha is a person who served as the Governor of Egypt for a long time, approximately 38 years, and established a great reign in Egypt. Therefore, today we see many of his works in Egypt. After taking photos in this part of the city until noon, we will continue to take photos by going to the very colorful Khan El Khalili Bazaar and the old city built around it. If you wish, you can take a breather and eat something in the beautiful cafes here. Anyone who wishes can make their last purchases. After having our dinner, we will head towards the airport.
Day 9: Today we will land in Istanbul in the morning. Those with flights to other countries will also be on the road. Even though I went to Egypt and saw all these places, I felt excited again while writing it again. You, too, will experience the same excitement when you see it with your own eyes. Among the places I have seen so far, Egyptian temples are truly breathtakingly beautiful. Of course, taking photos in Egypt is also a pleasure.
