Five days, two cities, one complete picture of Ancient Egypt. This private package pairs the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo with the temples and tombs of Luxor, linked by a short domestic flight.
Overview
If you only have five days, there is no better way to spend them than between Cairo and Luxor. In Cairo you meet the pyramids and the world’s finest collection of pharaonic treasures, and in Luxor you walk through the great temples and tombs that made Thebes the capital of an empire. Together they tell the whole story of Ancient Egypt in a comfortable, well-paced journey.
After your arrival, you spend a full day at the Giza Plateau and the Sphinx, and then at the Grand Egyptian Museum with its Tutankhamun galleries. The next morning you fly to Luxor and, in the soft light of the late afternoon, visit Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. On the fourth day you cross the Nile to the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon, and keep the afternoon free for the corniche or an optional felucca ride.
A private guide, a driver and a domestic flight are all arranged for you, so there are no queues, no changing buses and no guesswork. The itinerary is made for first-time visitors and for anyone who wants the highlights without feeling rushed.
This Cairo and Luxor tour package for five days is one of the best ways to see Egypt’s pharaonic heart in a short time. EgyptLens arranges the airport transfers, the domestic flight, four nights in a hotel with breakfast, lunches as listed and all entrance fees. Add a sunrise balloon over Luxor to make it unforgettable.
