10-Day Cultural Egypt Budget Tour - Pyramids - GEM - Nile Cruise (Flight & Cruise upgrade available)

10 days

Moderate

A small-group tour combining the Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum access with a 5-star Nile cruise to ancient temples. It features expert guides, overnight sleeper trains, and finishes with an all-inclusive 5-star beach resort stay in Hurghada.

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.
