5 Days Cairo & Luxor by Air Tour

After enjoying your morning meal, meet your professional tour guide at the hotel to begin a day packed with ancient wonders.

Start your exploration on the iconic Giza Plateau, where the world-famous pyramids await. Visit the colossal Great Pyramid of Khufu, followed by the neighboring tombs of Khafre and Menkaure. Take in the mysterious aura of the Great Sphinx, the guardian statue with the body of a lion and the face of a king.

Continue to the Valley Temple, once used for mummification rituals and ceremonial rites, with dramatic views of the desert and pyramids forming a stunning backdrop.

Pause for a tasty lunch at a respected local restaurant.

Then, head to the long-anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), an architectural marvel and home to one of the richest collections of Pharaonic artifacts. Explore its vast galleries filled with statues, golden treasures, mummies, and objects from daily life—many of which are on display for the first time. Exhibits span across Egypt’s ancient eras, offering deep insight into its remarkable civilization.

At day’s end, return to your hotel for some well-earned rest.
