Temple of Hatshepsut 5-Day Trip from Cairo

5 days

Easy

Discover Cairo and Luxor's timeless wonders in comfort and style with our 5-Day Classic Egypt Tour. Designed for travelers seeking a seamless blend of relaxation and exploration.

From the moment you land in Cairo, let us whisk you away on a meticulously crafted journey through 5,000 years of history. This itinerary is designed for travelers who crave both depth and ease: stand before the legendary Pyramids of Giza, unlock the secrets of the Grand Egyptian Museum’s golden treasures, and sail the Nile in comfort as temple-dotted shores glide by.

Each day offers a balance of guided exploration and personal freedom. Delve into the myths of Horus at Edfu Temple, marvel at Karnak’s towering columns, or opt for a sunrise flight over Luxor’s sprawling ruins. With included flights, meals, and hassle-free transfers—plus optional add-ons like Abu Simbel, Hot-air balloon or a Nubian Village visit—every detail is tailored to let you experience Egypt’s wonders your way.

Why This Itinerary Stands Out:

✨ Stress-free planning: Airport meet-and-greet, prearranged tickets, and tipping covered.

✨ Expert insights: Passionate expert guides bring ancient stories to life.

✨ Flexibility: Choose early adventures (Abu Simbel at dawn) or leisurely sails.

✨ Accommodation: Stay in carefully selected 5-star hotels and Nile cruises, ensuring premium comfort and exceptional service throughout your journey.
