Your Egypt Tours Group representative will meet you at Cairo International Airport, assist with arrival formalities and baggage collection, and transfer you by private air-conditioned vehicle to your selected Cairo hotel. The Day 1 dinner cruise depends on your confirmed arrival time; the delayed-arrival policy is explained in the FAQ below.
Cairo Nile River Dinner Cruise:
The evening sets the tone. Your guide will pick you up for a Nile River Dinner Cruise in Cairo, and trust us this is far better than trying to arrange it on your own. Enjoy a delicious oriental dinner as the Nile glides past, coupled with live entertainment including Tannura spinning and belly dancing, against the amazing backdrop of Cairo’s night skyline. Your team coordinates the evening transfer and confirmed cruise arrangements so you can enjoy the experience without arranging them independently.
Day 1 Highlights: Coordinated airport assistance, a private hotel transfer, hotel check-in, and the planned Nile dinner cruise, subject to your confirmed arrival time.
Meals: Dinner
Start Day 2 of your 5 Days Egypt Tour with a relaxed breakfast at your hotel before meeting your expert Egyptologist guide and driver. Settle comfortably into our air-conditioned vehicle and head out for a full day exploring Cairo’s most legendary ancient landmarks. No rushing, no crowds guessing games, just expert-led discovery.
Giza Pyramids Complex:
Begin at the Giza Plateau, home to the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Explore the plateau with your Egyptologist guide and discover the history and engineering of the pyramid complex.
The Great Sphinx:
Stand face to face with the mighty Great Sphinx, a colossal limestone guardian with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh widely believed to represent King Khafre. Now is the time to take your selfies; photo gold for sure. Few sights capture the mystery of ancient Egypt quite like this one.
The Valley Temple:
Continue to the Valley Temple, there you will witness where royal mummification rituals once took place. Its massive granite blocks and preserved floors showcase the precision and craftsmanship of Egypt’s Old Kingdom builders.
After exploring the Giza complex, enjoy a delicious and freshly prepared traditional Egyptian lunch at a quality local restaurant before continuing your journey.
The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM):
Next, explore the Grand Egyptian Museum near the Giza Plateau with your Egyptologist guide. Visit the Tutankhamun galleries and discover major collections spanning different periods of ancient Egyptian history.
As the day winds down, you’ll be transferred to Cairo Airport for your domestic flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, our driver will escort you to your Luxor hotel in your selected category for check-in and a well-earned, peaceful overnight stay. Ready for the wonders of Luxor the next day? Here we come.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch
After breakfast, check out and meet your private Egyptologist. Day 3 continues with private sightseeing and pre-arranged transfers across Luxor’s East and West Banks.
Karnak Temple:
Morning blockbuster: Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built. Step into the legendary Hypostyle Hall—a jaw-dropping forest of 134 massive columns that instantly makes you feel ant-sized. Add the sacred lake and over 2,000 years of nonstop construction, and yeah… history at its best.
Recharge time: Enjoy a relaxing Nile-view lunch, refuel, and gear up for the West Bank’s greatest hits. Queen energy here we come.
Hatshepsut Temple:
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahari is a masterpiece carved straight into the cliffs. This isn’t just architecture; it’s power. Stories of Egypt’s fiercest female pharaoh prove that “strong independent woman” energy is very, very ancient.
Valley of the Kings:
At the Valley of the Kings, visit three tombs available under the standard site ticket, according to the site’s current operating schedule.
Colossi of Memnon:
Colossi of Memnon is an iconic photo stop with two towering 60-foot stone guardians of Amenhotep III’s lost temple. Massive, dramatic, unforgettable.
Wrap up with a smooth transfer to Luxor Airport and a short flight back to Cairo. Your representative meets you on arrival for a private air-conditioned ride to your Cairo hotel in your selected category. Collapse happily after a day of serious tomb-crawling.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch
Fuel up with breakfast at your hotel, then meet your private Egyptologist for a scenic drive to Alexandria. Day 4 of your Egypt 5-day tour delivers a full-on vibe shift—trading desert temples for salty sea breezes and those “wait, this is still Egypt?” moments.
Citadel of Qaitbay:
First stop: the striking Citadel of Qaitbay, a medieval fortress built on the exact site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. While the lighthouse is long gone, the views over the Mediterranean Harbour are pure cinematic magic; pirate-movie energy included.
Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa:
Next, head underground to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a fascinating blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman burial traditions dating back to the 2nd century AD. Descend the spiral staircase into chambers carved with eerie symbolism, including the infamous Hall of Caracalla. It’s atmospheric, mysterious, and straight out of an Indiana Jones scene.
Pompey’s Pillar:
Then it’s time for one of Alexandria’s most iconic landmarks: Pompey’s Pillar. Standing nearly 27 metres high, this massive Roman victory column was built in honour of Emperor Diocletian and remains the largest of its kind outside Rome. The surrounding views offer a stunning mix of cityscape and sea.
After a morning of exploration, enjoy a fresh seafood lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean—proof that Alexandria does flavours just as well as history. A non-seafood alternative is available on request.
Bibliotheca Alexandrina:
Your Alexandria experience ends on a high note at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a striking modern revival of the ancient Library of Alexandria. With its slanted roof, glowing interiors, and global collections, it’s where ancient knowledge meets modern design—think history’s biggest glow-up.
After the tour, relax in your private air-conditioned vehicle as you return to Cairo for a comfortable overnight stay at your Cairo hotel in your selected category, coastal culture shock fully absorbed.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch
Enjoy your final breakfast at the hotel and take a quiet moment to relive the highlights of your journey—standing before the Pyramids of Giza, wandering through the temples and tombs of Luxor, and breathing in the sea air of Alexandria. It’s the kind of trip that stays with you, long after the photos are saved.
After check-out, an Egypt Tours Group representative will escort you in a private air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo International Airport, making your departure smooth and stress-free. With everything taken care of, you can simply relax and focus on the memories you’re taking home.
This final day marks the end of your 5 Days Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria Tour Package, a journey designed to balance discovery, comfort, and authentic experiences across Egypt’s most iconic cities.
