Egypt 5 day tour is the perfect private itinerary for travellers who want to experience Egypt’s greatest highlights without rushing — the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor’s Valley of the Kings, the temples of Karnak and Hatshepsut, Aswan’s Philae Temple, and the magnificent Abu Simbel. Every day is guided by a licensed Egyptologist in a private vehicle, staying in 5-star hotels throughout.
Your private driver meets you at Cairo International Airport and transfers you directly to your 5-star hotel. Meet your personal Egyptologist guide for an evening briefing. Overnight in Cairo.
Your egypt 5 day tour begins in earnest at the Giza Plateau — home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the legendary Great Sphinx. After lunch, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, housing the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic treasures including Tutankhamun’s solid gold death mask. Overnight in Cairo.
An early domestic flight transports you to Luxor — the world’s greatest open-air museum. Morning visits include the Valley of the Kings (three royal tombs), the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, and the twin Colossi of Memnon. In the afternoon, explore the vast Karnak Temple Complex — the largest religious building ever constructed — at golden hour. Overnight in Luxor.
Begin with a visit to Luxor Temple in the morning — beautifully positioned on the Nile’s east bank. Then travel by private vehicle to Aswan, stopping at Edfu’s Temple of Horus (one of Egypt’s most complete temples) en route. In Aswan, visit the High Dam and take a motorboat to Philae Island to explore the Temple of Isis, rescued by UNESCO and reassembled stone by stone. Overnight in Aswan.
The finale of your egypt 5 day tour — an early morning drive to Abu Simbel. The twin temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari, carved from solid rock in the 13th century BC and relocated during the Aswan Dam project, are among the most breathtaking sights in the world. Return to Aswan for your onward flight — with memories of ancient Egypt that will last a lifetime.
