Cairo, Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan... On our complete tour, we'll see all the unmissable sights in Egypt in 8 days. The best way to really discover the land of the Pharaohs!
On the first day, we'll be waiting for you at the Cairo airport to give you your visa and help you with immigration controls before taking you to your hotel, and eating in a local restaurant in the evening. If your flight arrives after 9 pm, we'll instead furnish you with a cold picnic at the hotel.
After breakfast, we'll visit the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, where the bravest can see the inside, dodging the ancient booby traps the ancient builders left to deter grave robbers! After the visit, we'll head to a papyrus school to learn how this famous Egyptian monument is made. To revitalize, we'll eat a traditional lunch and make our way to Memphis, Egypt's first capital, and to Saqqara, its necropolis, as well as the famous statue of Ramses II.
Then, after a short rest at the hotel, we'll head to Old Cairo, to the medieval area where we'll walk its oldest street, explore the Khan el Khalili market, and eat a typical dinner in the famous and historical Café of Mirrors.
On our third day, we'll visit the most emblematic downtown spots. We'll see the Citadel, explore the Alabaster Mosque, haggle in the Khan el Khalili, pass through the Coptic neighborhood, eat, and marvel at the masterworks of the Grand Egyptian Museum, where we'll see the Tutankhamun treasure and the largest collection of ancient Egyptian art, with over 500,000 pieces. Then in the evening, we'll eat at a local restaurant.
After another strong breakfast, we'll make our way to the airport to take a flight to Luxor, once called Thebes, from where our cruise down the Nile starts. At this fascinating destination, we'll visit the Luxor Temple - which will perhaps be the most enduring image of our trip - and tour the city center on a horse-drawn carriage. Finally, we'll take you to the hotel where we'll rest until the next day.
Early in the morning, we'll make our way to the Karnak Temple, separated from the Luxor temple by the majestic Avenue of the Sphinxes, nearly 2 miles long and lined with hundreds of human-headed sphinxes.
The tour will then continue, crossing to the East bank of the Nile to see the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of some of the most famous pharaohs can be found (entrance to Tutankhamun's tomb is an extra 16EUR, approximately). And we'll visit the Hatshepsut temple and the enormous Colossi of Memnon.
Then, when we return to the boat, we'll cruise southwards up the river Nile, towards Edfu, enjoying a wander around the floodgates of Esna in the evening.
We begin the day by visiting the Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the god Horus, the sky God. This also happens to be the best-preserved and most spectacular temple in the country. Then, we'll continue our cruise, sailing towards Kom Ombo.
As we arrive, we'll visit the temple, dedicated to the Gods Sobek and Horus - whose location makes it one of the most beautiful. Then, at the end of the day, we'll continue to sail the River Nile towards Aswan.
Important: the tour of Edfu is by horse-drawn carriage. If you want another type of transport, like a car or bus, you'll need to tell the guide the day before.
The day begins with a bus trip to the Temples of Abu Simbel, the most famous in all of Egypt, saved from the rising waters of the Nile thanks to a coordinated international effort. We'll return to Aswan and, along the way, catch a glimpse of the Aswan Dam, one of the most impressive engineering feats of the 20th century.
Additionally, we'll also visit the Temple of Filae, found on a beautiful island known as the Jewel of the Nile, returning to the cruise ship to eat. Then, after lunch, we'll sail around the region in a Felucca (a traditional wooden boat) found along the Nile, arriving back to the cruise ship at 4 pm to spend the night. Of course, you'll have the rest of the evening free to enjoy the area at your own pace before bedtime!
Having eaten breakfast, we'll take you to the Aswan airport, where we'll take the return flight to Cairo. Once there, you're free to move on to your connecting or international flight.
We'll adapt the departure time from Aswan depending on the timing of your flight from Cairo. If it leaves early, we'll leave Aswan earlier and offer you a continental breakfast or something to go. If your Cairo flight is in the evening, we'll offer you breakfast on board the boat before taking you to Aswan to take your flight to Cairo.
The order of the itinerary is indicative and subject to change, but all visits described will take place. Depending on the day of your arrival, you may visit Cairo first and then do the cruise, or vice versa.
Sometimes, the visits during the cruise are shorter than usual because the guide has to adapt to the duration of each stop and ensure they are back before the ship sets sail again.
To enjoy this tour, all you need to do is book a round-trip flight from El Cairo, arriving on the day the tour starts.
Although the tour program is designed as an 8-day itinerary, your return flight does not necessarily have to fall on the same day of the following week. If you have extra time in the city, you can take advantage of it by joining recommended optional day trips, such as an unforgettable day trip to Alexandria from Cairo.
If you need extra hotel nights after the tour, please contact us to make the arrangements; this will allow you to stay in the same accommodation throughout your entire time in Egypt.
Everything is included in the price: visa, regional flights, transport with air conditioning, hotels, boats, breakfast, lunch and dinner, guides, excursions, and admission tickets (except for the Great Pyramid of Cheops).
It's almost impossible to compare our prices to those of other agencies; we're the only ones who include everything, and for those who don't, the final price could end up being double.
We offer the circuit with 2 category options:
Standard Category
Premium Category
Luxury Category
Note: In Aswan (where you embark on Wednesdays and Fridays), spending one night at a hotel is possible. The next morning, we'll take you back to the boat for the cruise.
The reduced price for children is valid only when a child shares a room with two adults.
If you have any questions during the booking process, please contact us directly by following this link.
You can also enjoy this complete, all-inclusive 8-day tour of Egypt from Aswan or Luxor.
If you want to make the most of your trip, you can extend the number of days and visit the Red Sea or take a cruise on Lake Nasser. We offer 3 options:
Refunds are unavailable in the event of cancellation from 20th December to 2nd January (Christmas) and during Easter. Additionally, due to the seasonal dates, the order of the itinerary is subject to change.
