This 15 day Egypt tour is designed for travellers who want a fuller route through Egypt without separating the classic sights from the Red Sea. It combines Cairo and Giza, a day trip to Alexandria, time in Hurghada, a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, and the long but rewarding journey to Abu Simbel.
The route suits first-time travellers who want one private itinerary covering ancient Egypt, coastal Alexandria, the Nile Valley, and a few easier days by the Red Sea. It is a complete trip with flights, transfers, hotel changes, and cruise days arranged into one clear route, so it works best for travellers who want Egypt planned carefully from arrival to departure.
Arrive at Cairo International Airport, where your representative assists with arrival formalities and transfers you by private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel. After check-in, the rest of the day is kept light so you can settle in after your flight.
Begin with the Giza Plateau, where your guide introduces the Great Pyramid, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. After lunch, continue to Saqqara to see the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, one of the most important early monuments in ancient Egyptian architecture.
Spend the day exploring Cairo's historic layers with your private guide. Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum for the main Cairo museum experience, then continue to the Citadel of Salah El Din and Mohamed Ali Mosque before ending with time around Khan El Khalili.
Travel north to Alexandria for a Mediterranean day trip. Visit the Alexandria Library, the Roman Amphitheatre, Pompey's Pillar, and Qaitbay Citadel, with lunch at a local restaurant before returning to Cairo for the night.
Explore important Islamic and Coptic landmarks in Cairo with a fixed private route. Visit Ibn Tulun Mosque, Sultan Hassan Mosque, Al Rifai Mosque, the Hanging Church, Abu Serga Church, and Ben Ezra Synagogue with your guide.
After breakfast, transfer to Cairo Airport for your flight to Hurghada. On arrival, transfer to your Red Sea hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.
Enjoy a relaxed Red Sea day at your Hurghada hotel, with time for the beach, swimming pools, and resort facilities. This is kept as an intentional rest day before the Nile Valley stage of the trip.
Keep the day easy in Hurghada with another full day for the beach, sea views, hotel dining, and slower Red Sea pacing before travelling inland to Luxor.
Check out from your Hurghada hotel and travel by private vehicle to Luxor. After check-in, keep the evening at rest so the next day's West Bank sightseeing and Nile cruise check-in feel comfortable.
Visit Luxor's West Bank, including the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon. After the tour, board your Nile cruise in Luxor, with lunch and dinner served on board.
Visit Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple with your guide before returning to the cruise. The rest of the day follows the cruise schedule as the ship begins sailing south.
Visit Edfu Temple, one of Egypt's best-preserved ancient temples, then continue sailing toward Kom Ombo. Later, visit Kom Ombo Temple, known for its unusual double dedication to Sobek and Horus the Elder, before continuing toward Aswan.
Start early for the private road trip to Abu Simbel, then visit the temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari with your guide. Return to Aswan later in the day and keep the evening lighter after the long desert road journey.
Check out after breakfast and visit Philae Temple by motorboat, then continue to the Aswan High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk with your guide. After the Aswan sightseeing route, transfer to Aswan Airport for the flight back to Cairo. On arrival in Cairo, transfer to your hotel.
After breakfast, transfer to Cairo International Airport for your final departure. The departure timing is arranged around your international flight.
