Day 2: Tour to Pyramids & Saqqara – Fly to Luxor
Wake up in Cairo, because today is one of the most memorable days of your 9 Days Cairo, Luxor & Hurghada Budget Tour. After breakfast, meet your expert guide and step into the heart of ancient history, ready for an unforgettable Giza Pyramids tour.
This day gives your 9 day Egypt itinerary a powerful start, combining the legendary monuments of Giza with Saqqara, Memphis, and a smooth evening flight to Luxor.
Giza Pyramids Complex:
Rising from the desert like something out of a dream, the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure stand tall against the sky. Bigger than you imagined and older than you can fully comprehend, they create a moment that feels powerful, silent, and unforgettable.
As you walk closer, you begin to feel the scale, mystery, and timeless wonder of ancient Egypt. It’s not just a visit; it’s one of the defining moments of your affordable Egypt vacation.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu:
Standing before the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, you can’t help but pause. The Great Pyramid of Khufu still keeps many of its secrets, and that mystery is exactly what makes it so fascinating.
The Great Sphinx:
Then, just nearby, the Great Sphinx appears. Calm, powerful, and watching over the Giza Plateau for thousands of years, this legendary monument adds even more magic to your day.
The Valley Temple:
Step into the Valley Temple, where ancient ceremonies once took place. Massive stones, cool air, and a quiet atmosphere make you feel that history is still alive inside these walls.
After an incredible morning, enjoy a well-earned lunch at a local restaurant, a perfect moment to relax, reflect, and take in everything you have seen so far.
Saqqara Step Pyramid:
Next, head to Saqqara Step Pyramid, where the pyramid story truly began. The Step Pyramid of King Djoser rises in layers, simple yet revolutionary, and shows how ancient Egyptian architecture started moving toward the great pyramids we admire today.
Memphis City:
Then, explore the ancient city of Memphis, once the heart of a powerful kingdom and one of the earliest capitals of ancient Egypt. Though many parts are now in ruins, the site still carries the spirit of Egypt’s earliest greatness.
After your Cairo and Giza sightseeing tour, we will transfer you to Cairo Airport for your domestic flight to Luxor, the land of temples and kings.
Upon arrival in Luxor, our representative will meet you and transfer you to your 4-star hotel for check-in and a relaxing overnight stay.
You have walked through the ancient past today, and tomorrow you will dive even deeper into the temples, tombs, and royal stories of Luxor.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 3: Full-Day Luxor Sightseeing Tour
One of the strongest sightseeing days in your 9 Days Cairo, Luxor & Hurghada Budget Tour is your full Luxor day. After enjoying breakfast at your hotel in Luxor, get ready for a full day of ancient monuments, historical stories, and the powerful spirit of ancient Egypt.
Karnak Complex:
Your Luxor sightseeing tour begins at Karnak Temple Complex, located on the east bank of Luxor. This vast religious site was mainly built to honor the Theban Triad: Amun, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu.
Karnak is famous for its magnificent Hypostyle Hall, with around 134 massive columns decorated with ancient inscriptions and scenes. Behind every gateway, column, and sacred lake, you will find stories that stretch from the Middle Kingdom through the New Kingdom and later periods of Egyptian history.
Luxor Temple:
Next, visit Luxor Temple, another remarkable monument on the east bank of the city. The temple is known for its impressive entrance, towering obelisk, statues of King Ramses II, elegant columns, and walls filled with scenes that tell stories from thousands of years ago.
Like Karnak, Luxor Temple was closely connected to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, and it remains one of the most atmospheric temples in Egypt.
Before heading to Luxor’s west bank, we will take you to a local Egyptian restaurant for a delicious lunch and a short break before continuing the day.
Queen Hatshepsut Temple:
After lunch, continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut on Luxor’s west bank. This impressive mortuary temple rises beautifully against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari and is one of the most visually striking monuments in Egypt.
The temple walls include scenes connected to Queen Hatshepsut’s divine birth and her famous trade expedition to the land of Punt, reflecting her power, ambition, and unique place in ancient Egyptian history.
Valley of the Kings:
Get ready for your Valley of the Kings tour, one of the most fascinating experiences in Luxor. This legendary valley is home to more than 60 tombs belonging to kings and nobles of Egypt’s New Kingdom, especially from the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties.
As you walk among the desert cliffs and decorated tombs, you will discover why this site became the royal burial ground for some of Egypt’s greatest rulers, including famous names such as Tutankhamun and Ramses VI.
Colossi of Memnon:
Your final stop is the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues located on Luxor’s west bank. They are all that remain of the great mortuary temple of King Amenhotep III.
There was once a famous legend that the statues made sounds at sunrise. With your private guide, you will learn the real story behind this legend and why these statues became known as the Colossi of Memnon.

Why us ? Reviews
I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
Marian was absolutely wonderful!! She was a wealth of knowledge . She guided us to important parts of each temple and tomb.Letting us know what the meaning for the particular inscription.
We had Ayoub as our tour guide, he was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgable on Egypt and spoke English well. He also has a personality that is very easy to get along with and made our trip enjoyable
I went to Egypt recently and I had as a guide Mr Mohamed El Shemei which was excellent and made our experience amazing. He knew so much of Egypts history and he filled us with information however making sure it wasn’t boring.
