5 Days Cairo, Alexandria & Luxor Tour

Start your day with breakfast at the hotel before meeting your expert Egyptologist guide for a breathtaking tour of Giza’s most iconic landmarks.

Begin at the Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu—Egypt’s largest and most famous pyramid—along with the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Stand before the Great Sphinx, a colossal guardian of the necropolis with a lion’s body and a pharaoh’s face. Visit the Valley Temple, where mummification ceremonies once took place.

Break for lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant.

In the afternoon, explore the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)—a state-of-the-art facility showcasing Egypt’s greatest ancient treasures. Wander through galleries featuring royal statues, intricate jewelry, tools, and everyday objects that offer a vivid look into life in ancient Egypt. Don’t miss the beautifully curated exhibits from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms.

After your tour, return to your hotel to relax for the evening.

Optional Activity: Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids – Witness the dramatic history of ancient Egypt unfold through an atmospheric sound and light display at the foot of the pyramids.

After an early breakfast, drive north to Alexandria, Egypt’s coastal gem, where Egyptian, Greco-Roman, and Mediterranean influences converge.

Start at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a subterranean burial site showcasing an unusual blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman architecture. Descend into its spiral stairways and chambered tombs to discover centuries-old carvings and sarcophagi.

Continue to Pompey’s Pillar, a massive Roman triumphal column dedicated to Emperor Diocletian, then explore the ruins of the Serapeum, once a grand temple to the Greco-Egyptian god Serapis.

Enjoy lunch at a local seafood or Mediterranean-style restaurant.

Next, visit the impressive Qaitbay Citadel, built in the 15th century on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Stroll through the fort’s towers and enjoy sweeping sea views.

End the day at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a striking modern tribute to the ancient Library of Alexandria. This cutting-edge cultural center houses millions of books and exhibitions that celebrate Alexandria’s scholarly legacy.

After the tour, return to Cairo via private transfer.

Note: The Alexandria Library is closed on Fridays and public holidays.

Begin your morning with a hotel pickup and flight from Cairo to Luxor, the glorious capital of the ancient New Kingdom.

Upon arrival, meet your private guide and begin your day on the West Bank of the Nile. Visit the Valley of the Kings, where Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs were laid to rest in elaborately decorated tombs. Enter a selection of royal tombs (including those of Ramses or Thutmose, depending on availability) to admire vibrant wall art and well-preserved inscriptions.

Continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a stunning three-tiered complex built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Learn about Egypt’s first female pharaoh and view reliefs of her expeditions and divine birth. Pause at the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues that once guarded a vast temple complex.

After lunch, cross to the East Bank to explore Karnak Temple, a vast complex devoted to the god Amun. Walk through the monumental Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 towering columns carved with intricate hieroglyphs.

End your day at Luxor Temple, linked to Karnak by the ancient Avenue of Sphinxes. This beautifully preserved site features statues of Ramses II, obelisks, and a sacred lake—all echoing the city’s spiritual significance.
