The Best Places in Egypt with Nile Cruise Luxury Tour

Step Pyramid. Another short drive will bring you to Dahshur, where you will experience how the Egyptians progressed on building pyramids after the Step Pyramid. Amazing attractions here include the 4600-year-old Bent Pyramid as well as the Red Pyramid, both built by the Pharoah Sneferu.

The Great Pyramids. A 20-minute drive will take you to the Giza Necropolis, where you will break for an included lunch at a restaurant specializing in Egyptian delicacies. After lunch you will drive up the small plateau to the 3 amazing pyramids here, all of which are individually awe-inspiring. The Great Pyramid was built by Khufu, the son of Sneferu, the Pharoah who had the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid constructed at Dahshur. The Great Pyramid has always been the oldest member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and is now the only one of them still remaining.

We will not attempt to describe the incredible size and splendor of these ancient structures – they have to be experienced to be believed.

After the Dahshur Pyramids the pharaohs got busy building these amazing structures and the two tallest pyramids, Khufu’s Great Pyramid and Khafre’s Pyramid, were finished within a few decades after the completion of the Red Pyramid at Dahshur. As Khafre was Khufu’s son, he built his pyramid to a height of 471 feet, as opposed to the Great Pyramid’s 481.4 feet height, but he built it on a slightly higher elevation close by, thereby making his pyramid seem taller. Although significantly smaller than these two pyramids, the third pyramid at Giza, built by Menkaure, son of Khafre, is well worth a visit.

The Great Sphinx. Next up is the Great Sphinx, which is commonly believed to have been designed and constructed during the above-mentioned Khafre’s reign, with his face mounted on the mythical creature, although scholars are not certain and a debate on its exact origins is ongoing. It is 66 feet high and 62 feet wide and 240 feet long. The awe-inspiring structure offers great photo opportunities, including views with Khafre’s Pyramid as a magnificent backdrop.

The awe-inspiring structure offers great photo opportunities, including views with Khafre’s Pyramid as a magnificent backdrop.

Although there are remains of scores of other pyramids in Egypt, it is an interesting fact that the above mentioned largest still intact pyramids, with the exception of the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, were all built over about just 80 years by four generations of Pharaohs, starting with Menkaure’s great grandfather, Pharoah Sneferu. You will avoid Cairo’s miserable rush hour traffic and return to your hotel after this exploration of Giza.
(Overnight – Fairmont Nile City)

Day 3: Cairo. Today you will start your exploration of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Islamic Cairo, also known as Historic Cairo. Although areas that now comprise the metropolis of Cairo are much older than this, Islamic Cairo was founded in the 10th century and has flourished since then in one form or another.

Islamic Cairo (UWHS). There are impressive mosques and other historic structures, as well as a unique culture and atmosphere that has not changed much over the centuries. Start with an exploration of the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a fortress that houses museums and beautiful gardens, with the most impressive structure being the Alabaster Mosque, or the Mosque of Mohamed Ali. This Citadel was home to Egypt’s rulers from the 12th to the 19th century.

Al-Muizz Street. After this you will enter the walls of Islamic Cairo from the Gate of El Nasr (Gate of Victory) and start a fascinating walk through the neighborhoods. Much of your walk will be on Al-Muizz street, which has been Islamic Cairo’s main thoroughfare since the 10th Century. Many of Cairo’s ancient historic attractions are located on this street, and there is unique architecture and culture to be found everywhere you look. There are beautiful mosques, Islamic schools that have existed for many centuries, and ancient souks.

Al-Muizz street is often called the largest Islamic open-air museum in the world.

Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. Next is a walk in Cairo’s Old Bazaar, Khan el-Khalili. This souk is always full of tourists and Egyptians and the colors, smells and sounds have to be experienced to be believed. Depending on how much time you spend at each attraction and experience on this day, you will have the option today to break for lunch (authentic local cuisine is recommended and your Guide can make suggestions) at a time of your choice, or return to your hotel for a late lunch.

Coptic CairoNext up is an exploration of Coptic Cairo. The Coptic Christians built their churches inside the Roman fortress interestingly named Babylon. Egypt was a Christian nation for three centuries between the 3rd and 7th century and the beautiful churches in Old Cairo were built mainly during that period.

Coptic Christians make up between 8 to 15% of Egypt's population today, depending on the source of information, and their unique culture and architecture is fascinating to observe. Much of the delight in this short exploration is just walking through the ancient neighborhoods, taking in this unique culture and architecture.

Hanging Church. Impressive churches you will visit include the famous Hanging Church, parts of which are purported to belong to the 3rd century.

Another church will be the 5th century Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church, which was built over the crypt where Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus are said to have rested during their journey in Egypt. You will have the opportunity to enter the crypt and view the details, including the tiny alcove where the infant Jesus slept.

Your last stop can be at the Synagogue of Ben Ezra. There has been a house of worship in this location since the 4th century, first a church and then the synagogue. As less than a dozen Jewish people now make Cairo their home, the synagogue and its beautiful interior now serve as a museum.
(Overnight – Fairmont Nile City)

Day 4: Cairo - Alexandria. In the morning you will be assisted with your check-out and you will now proceed to one of two museums.

Grand Egyptian Museum Option: You are driven to the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum, which, at 5.2 million sq. feet, is the largest archaeological museum on our planet. This incredible collection of 50,000 antiquities includes the vast and amazing Tutankhamun Collection, a 3200-year-old 83 ton and 32.8-foot-tall red granite statue of Ramses II, as well as a plethora of artifacts that have never been displayed before. Viewing all the treasures in the museum would take many days and so your Egyptologist Tour Director will tell you about the possible highlights and, based on your preferences, design your visit accordingly. Just as during the rest of your tour, your Tour Director will regale you with fascinating tales about the major exhibits that you are experiencing. Lunch at one of the restaurants at the museum is recommended at a time of your choice.

Drive to Alexanderia. You are driven to Alexandria after lunch. This three-hour drive will bring you to the legendary city that was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and is the largest city on the Mediterranean Sea. Not much of its Greek history remains and most of the ancient monuments you will visit belong to the Roman period, which began with the deaths of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony in 27 BC. In its heyday Alexandria was home to the Lighthouse of Alexandria (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world), the Great Library (the largest in the world during its time), and the Necropolis (one of the seven wonders of the Middle Ages). Unfortunately, none of these exist today and Cleopatra’s magnificent palace can only be visited by divers as it is submerged in the sea. You are driven to your gorgeous hotel in Alexandria and assisted with check-in to your sea view room. The Steigenberger Cecil Hotel’s architectural grandeur was originally constructed in 1929, and the hotel's architecture and decor are a testament to the cosmopolitan nature of Alexandria during the early 20th century.
(Overnight - Steigenberger Cecil Hotel)

Day 5: Alexandria. Please note that all the sights detailed below are within a fairly small historical area and walking between attractions, for those who like to walk, is recommended. You also do not need to visit all the attractions, and your Egyptologist Guide will help you design your day as per your preferences. Among other things, you can ask to visit ancient souks and popular restaurants – Alexandria’s cuisine is famous for its diversity as it is influenced by multiple Mediterranean regions.

Start your exploration of Alexandria in the mid-morning (after the heavy rush-hour traffic) with a drive along the Corniche as you head to the Citadel of Sultan Qaitbay. This fort was built in 1474 AD and was one of the Mediterranean’s best fortifications in its time. Constructed at the same spot where the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood, many of its massive stones were originally part of the lighthouse, which had completely collapsed by the 14th century. The current structure has seen major renovations, especially after the British bombarded it in the 19th century, and after a brief tour, you will enjoy a 15-minute walk (driving is an option for those who do not want to walk) on the corniche with the sea on one side and some of Alexandria’s older sights on the other.

The walk will end at the Abu al-Abbas Al-Mursi Mosque.

Dedicated to a 13th Century Sufi Saint, this beautiful mosque was originally constructed in 1307 AD, but was subsequently destroyed and rebuilt. Your stop here will be a brief photo opportunity. After the mosque a short drive will bring you to what many visitors consider Alexandria’s most impressive remaining ancient site, the Catacombs of Kom el Shokafa, part of the aforementioned Wonder of the Middle Ages, the Necropolis.

The tombs in the three-tiered solid stone (the bottom tier is now submerged) catacomb are said to have been used for about two hundred years starting from the 2nd Century. The catacombs are extremely impressive in scale and the details, including the carvings and pillars, and the timeless feeling that the site evokes. Kom el Shokafa means Mound of Chards. The name originates from what was discovered in these catacombs in 1900 AD by a working donkey who fell down a hidden shaft. When the experts subsequently entered, they found that the common areas of the catacombs had a number of piles of smashed ancient pottery. Archaeologists believe that when visitors came to their relatives’ graves, they would stay for a meal that they had brought along. Not wanting to take the pottery used for this meal to their homes, they shattered them and left them in the piles.

A 3-minute drive will bring you to the Serapeum and Pompey’s Pillar. This site is almost completely in ruins and was extensively plundered long ago. The Serapeum at Alexandria was a magnificent Greek Temple constructed in the 3rd Century BC. At one time this was the largest and most impressive temple in Alexandria, but now the remaining attraction here is Pompey’s Pillar. Erected in the 3rd Century AD to honor the Roman emperor, this gray granite monolith is 88 feet high and still one of the largest of its kind on our planet. Although the Serapeum has some areas to explore, including its own catacombs, it is Pompey’s Pillar that is the main attraction here, and it is well worth the stop.

You can choose to break for lunch at any time you want during this day’s sightseeing – your guide will give you your nearby dining options. Another short drive from the Serapeum (you can choose to get off well before you arrive and walk on the corniche with your guide) will bring you to the location next to the Great Library of Alexandria. The original library that was built here between the 4th and 3rd Century BC was arguably the world’s greatest library during its first couple of centuries of existence, but after that it gradually lost prominence and what remained was eventually destroyed by the ruling Christians. The greatest geniuses in the world, including Aristotle, are said to have had volumes of their writings on papyrus stored at the library.

What currently stands very near the ancient library is the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

This spectacular structure was inaugurated in 2002 after 6 years of construction and an expense of $220 million at that time. Please note that this massive complex is closed on Fridays and public holidays. Its incredible architecture and design, both inside and out, are alone well worth a visit – the sea view is quite amazing from the gorgeous main reading room with its 105-foot-high glass roof. This is actually a massive Cultural Centre, there are multiple museums, art galleries, permanent and rotating exhibition halls, a planetarium, manuscript restoration project, specialized libraries for maps, the visually impaired, children, and a lot more. Your guide will offer you a brief tour of some of the highlights and any section you want to visit.

From here you will drive nearby to Stanley Bridge for a short walk across the small bay while you enjoy the wonderful views. This pretty bridge is 100 feet wide and a quarter mile long and is considered a part of the corniche by the locals. From the bridge you will be driven back to your hotel.
(Overnight - Steigenberger Cecil Hotel)

Day 6: Alexandria – Cairo Airport – Aswan. You are assisted with your checkout in the morning and driven to Cairo airport where you are assisted with your check-in to your early afternoon flight to Aswan.

Arrive at Aswan and you are driven to your spectacular historic hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.

You are assisted with your checkout in the morning and driven to Cairo airport where you are assisted with your check-in to your early afternoon flight to Aswan. Arrive at Aswan and you are escorted to your wonderful upscale hotel and assisted with your check-in. Nestled on Elephantine Island amidst the serene waters of the Nile, Movenpick Resort Aswan boasts stunning panoramic views of the river, and the resort's architecture pays homage to traditional Nubian styles, characterized by domed ceilings, arched windows, and intricately designed interiors. Its expansive gardens, dotted with palm trees and vibrant flora, provide a picturesque setting. The private balconies and terraces invite guests to unwind while watching the sun set over the river, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink.
(Overnight – Movenpick Aswan)

Day 7: Aswan - Abu Simbel Excursion. In the morning your Guide will accompany you to the Aswan airport and assist you in boarding the short flight to Abu Simbel. Arrive at Abu Simbel and you are ushered to your private vehicle and driven to Ramses II’s most awe-inspiring creation.

Abu Simbel (UWHS). Located on the western banks of Lake Naseer, these colossal temples are still accessible to humanity because of one of the most amazing archaeological engineering feats of all time. Between 1964 and 1968 everything in and outside these temples were cut into massive blocks weighing up to 30 tons each and transported to a location 213 feet higher than where they were originally constructed. UNESCO and the Egyptian Government orchestrated a massive campaign with a large and diverse international team of specialists and accomplished this incomprehensibly difficult project so as to save the temples from the rising waters of the Nile to be caused by the impending opening of the Aswan High Dam.

The Great Temple. The Abu Simbel Temples are part of the ‘Nubian Monuments’ UNESCO World Heritage Site, which also includes Philae, near Aswan. Built in the 13th Century BC over 20 years, these two temples were created to establish, in the minds of the Nubian people, Ramses II’s power and near-divinity, as well as the might of Egypt. The first temple, known as The Great Temple, has four massive 66-foot-tall statues of Ramses II seated on thrones at its entrance, and is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt.

Much smaller statues of the royal family, including his wife Nefertari, are situated around the seated monarchs’ legs. Amazing historic treasures await visitors inside the temple, which has a triangular layout reducing in scale as you go deeper to the main sanctum. There are beautiful statues, gorgeous bas-reliefs, impressive pillars, and objects devoted to the three ancient Egyptian Gods to whom Ramses II dedicated this temple.

The Small Temple. A short distance away is The Small Temple, dedicated to Goddess Hathor and Queen Nefertari. This temple is only the second temple in Ancient Egypt’s many millennia long history that is dedicated to the consort of a king, and is one of the very few times such a major monument presented statues of the king and his queen that were equal in size. Surrounding the entrance are three 33-foot statues on each side, with statutes of Ramses II bookending the two statues of Queen Nefertari on both sides. The interior of the temple offers amazing treasures and is similarly beautiful as The Great Temple, although smaller in scale. After exploring these wonders, you will return to the airport and fly back to Aswan, returning to your hotel for some relaxation.

After exploring these wonders, you will return to the airport and fly back to Aswan, returning to your hotel for some relaxation.

Nubian Museum. In the late afternoon you are driven to Aswan’s Nubian Museum, an award-winning building with a midsize collection of amazing antiquities ranging from local geological wonders to a unique and impressive collection of Nubian, Pharaonic, Roman, Coptic, and Islamic antiquities. This fairly short visit will significantly enhance your understanding and appreciation of what you are experiencing in the Aswan region.

Sunset Felucca Cruise. In the early evening you will board a traditional felucca and enjoy a cruise on the Nile and watch the spectacular sunset over this fabled region.
(Overnight – Movenpick Aswan)

Day 8: Aswan – 3 Night Nile Cruise. Late this morning you are assisted with your checkout and driven to the pier where your cruise vessel is docked. After lunch, you will join your Guide and proceed on a private cruise to, and exploration of, what is called Philae Island, but that name was transferred to this island.

Philae Island was the original island home of these massive structures and they were moved as part of the incredible project that moved Abu Simbel’s Temples. This awe-inspiring complex was moved to Agilika Island by the Egyptian Government and UNESCO as Philae Island had existing flooding issues even before the Aswan High Dam was constructed – it is now mostly submerged.

The Temple of Isis on the island is a part of the Nubian Monuments UNESCO World Heritage Site and was dedicated to the Gods Isis, Osiris, and Horus.

Among other subjects, the amazing bas-reliefs on the temple’s walls portray how Isis brought Osiris back to life, gave birth to Horus, and mummified Osiris after his death. It is purported to be Osiris’ final resting place. Originally built around 700 BC, the temple complex had subsequent additions made by both Egyptians and, later on, Roman rulers. The Temples of Philae were a major pilgrimage site for Nubians, Egyptians, and people from far away lands. The amazing details on the walls, statues and columns are among the most impressive you will find anywhere, and the worship of Isis continued here until the 6th Century.

History of Philae Temple. Christians had established a foothold on Philae during the fourth century, and they initially co-existed with the ongoing religious practices at the Philae Temple. In the 6th century they took over and converted parts of the complex to a church, defacing a number of significant monuments and structures in the process. Just as many of Ancient Egypt’s most important sites, some of the most valuable artifacts of the Temple were removed by European archaeologists during later colonial times. Your Guide will escort you back to your cruise Vessel in time for Tea.
(Overnight - M/S Jaz Regent Nile Cruise)

Day 9: Cruise. Today you will cruise towards Luxor, stopping at Kom Ombo and Edfu for explorations of the amazing Temple Complexes. At each port your Guide will be waiting for you to take you on a private tour of each of the temple complexes.

Kom Ombo Temple. Unique in its design, Kom Ombo is dedicated to two sets of gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god. This dual dedication is reflected in the temple's symmetrical layout, essentially creating two parallel temples within a single structure. The temple complex includes sanctuaries, hypostyle halls, and numerous reliefs and inscriptions that depict religious rituals, deities, and Ptolemaic rulers.

One of the most intriguing features of the Kom Ombo temple is the presence of crocodile mummies discovered in the nearby Sobek sanctuary. These mummified crocodiles underscore the reverence ancient Egyptians had for Sobek, who was believed to protect them from the dangers of the Nile. The temple also contains a well-preserved Nilometer, a structure used to measure the water level of the Nile and predict the success of the annual flood, which was crucial for agriculture.

Edfu Temple. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky and kingship, Edfu is the largest temple dedicated to Horus and one of the best-preserved temples in all of Egypt. Construction of the temple began in 237 BCE and was completed in 57 BCE. Edfu Temple is renowned for its imposing pylon entrance, which stands at 36 meters high and is decorated with scenes of the pharaoh smiting his enemies before Horus. The temple's layout follows the traditional pattern of Egyptian temples, with a large courtyard leading to a hypostyle hall, and finally to the inner sanctuaries where the statue of Horus would have been housed.

The walls of Edfu are covered with intricate reliefs and inscriptions that provide a wealth of information about the temple's construction, religious rituals, and mythology. One of the most significant narratives depicted is the mythical battle between Horus and Seth, his uncle and the god of chaos, which symbolizes the eternal struggle between order and disorder.
(Overnight - M/S Jaz Regent Nile Cruise)

Day 10: Cruise Arrival at Luxor. You will dock at Luxor overnight and, after breakfast you will join your guide and a short drive will bring you to the Valley of the Kings.

Valley of the Kings. You will explore the most impressive tombs in the barren and scenic valley, and not have long waits under the desert sun like other visitors.

Capacity is controlled at all Tombs and the popular standard Tombs are nice but not as impressive and have long lines. The handpicked tombs we take you to require individual entrance tickets and have, at most, very short lines.

Camera Photography can often be restricted at one or more Tombs without any prior notice. Some of the Tombs, such as the magnificent Tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens, currently do not permit any photography except with cell phones, but the option to even use your phone’s camera is subject to change at any time. Please note that photography rules are strictly enforced.

Your exploration will include the following premium attractions:

1: The Tomb of Ramses V & VI (KV9) - This 340-foot-long Tomb was started by Ramses V but later taken over by his successor, Ramses VI.

The paintings, bas-reliefs and hieroglyphs covering the walls and ceilings are among the best preserved in the Valley, making for an incredibly colorful Tomb.

2: The Tomb of Tutankhamun (King Tut) (KV62) - This is one of the smaller Tombs in the valley. The Tomb was discovered in 1922 with all its treasures intact, and the majority of these artifacts are now the most impressive section of displays in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. You will be able to see young King Tut’s mummified remains in the Tomb, and the glittering shrines in his burial chamber.

3: The Tomb of Seti I (KV17) - This is the longest Tomb in the valley at over 450 feet, and also one of the deepest. There are incredible decorations on the walls and ceilings, and its vivid colors are a delight to behold.

Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. Before reaching the Valley of the Queens and Nefertari’s Tomb, you will stop along the way at this wonderfully restored temple complex. This impressive 3500-year-old structure is built on 3 levels reaching almost 100 feet at the top. During your travels your Egyptologist Tour Director will share some fascinating tales about Queen Hatshepsut, one of the smartest rulers of this ancient world.

Colossi of Memnon. The last stop on this exploration will be at these two massive 14 Century BC statues of King Amenhotep III. These ancient structures reach about 60 feet high and are estimated to each weigh about 720 tons. Unlike most visitors, you will visit these at the end of your exploration on this day so that you can be among the first to arrive at the Valley of the Kings in the morning.

We recommend that you spend this late afternoon on board the Zahra and enjoy its lavish facilities as your visit to the Luxor Temple will be much better on the next day - it is located a very short walk from your Luxor hotel.
(Overnight - M/S Jaz Regent Nile Cruise)

Day 11: Luxor. You have the option of a very early start in the morning for a balloon ride over Ancient Thebes – PLEASE inform us about your preference while finalizing your reservation. Your Guide greets you at your final disembarkation after breakfast.

Karnak Temple Complex. Welcome to ancient Thebes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your destination this morning is the incredible Karnak Temple Complex. Occupying about 200 acres, the Karnak Temple and its structures are purported to be the largest religious complex ever to be built.

Construction of the first parts started about 5000 years ago, and continued over the reign of about 30 Pharaohs. The site is made up of four parts, out of which only the largest part, the Precinct of Amun-Re, is open to the public. This is the second most visited site in Egypt after the Giza Pyramids. Experience the hundreds of ancient structures, including the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall, a 50,000 square foot Hall with 134 massive beautifully carved pillars. 122 of these pillars are 33 feet tall, while the other 12 are 69 feet high and almost 10 feet in diameter.

After your exploration of the Karnak Complex, you are driven to your upscale hotel on the Nile and assisted with your check-in after lunch – check-in is at 3 pm. The Sonesta St. George seamlessly blends modern amenities with traditional Egyptian opulence, and your rooms have a great view of the Nile. Its strategic location provides easy access to Luxor's myriad of ancient wonders, including the temples of Karnak and Luxor, and the Valley of the Kings.

Luxor Temple and Sunset Illumination: You can enjoy a very short walk on the scenic Nile Corniche (with pushy souvenir sellers) to the Luxor Temple, or you can choose to be driven.

The best time to visit this magnificent 3400-year-old Temple Complex is in the late afternoon as this allows you to first explore its incredible attractions in daylight and then be mesmerized at sunset as the artfully placed spotlights illuminate the façade and the scores of ancient attractions the complex contains.

Avenue of Sphinxes Moonlight Walk: From the Temple you will experience a walk on the similarly lit Avenue of Sphinxes. This ancient royal pathway finished a massive reclamation and restoration project and opened to the public with much fanfare in November 2021. It is a unique experience to walk along the broad avenue in the dark, flanked by gently illuminated ancient sphinxes. The Avenue of Sphinxes was ‘The King’s Festivities Road’, and runs the full 1.7 miles between the awe-inspiring temples of Luxor and Karnak.
(Overnight – Sonesta St. George)

Day 12: Luxor - Cairo - International Departure OR Red Sea Excursion.
Red Sea Excursion Option. A four-hour drive across the desert will bring you to the Hurghada Region on the beautiful Red Sea Coast, and also world-class diving locations such as Marsa Alam. Hurghada has daily multiple flights to Cairo. Please let us know the number of days, and types of activities, that you’d like, at the Red Sea, and we can send you an extension to consider.

International Departure. You are assisted with your checkout in the morning at any time before 11 am. Please note that most outbound international flights from Cairo depart in the early morning. This itinerary assumes that you will fly back to Cairo in the late afternoon or early evening. Listed below are two really nice museums that you can explore, or your Guide will suggest experiences based on your preferences.

The Mummification Museum offers great information on this ancient Egyptian process, along with many more fascinating exhibits. The process of mummification, and the materials used in the process, are displayed in detail. The mummies on display include the 3000 plus year old mummy of Masaharta, the High Priest of Amun at Thebes. There are also mummies of cats, fish and crocodiles.

The Luxor Museum has a lot fewer treasures than the abundance of exhibits found in Cairo’s museums, but the quality of the artifacts that they display is unsurpassed, including amazing pieces from the Karnak Temple Complex.

The displays are widely spaced and identified very well with clear signage.

Flight to Cairo. You will be driven to Luxor airport and assisted in boarding your flight to Cairo. Arrive at Cairo and collect your baggage, and check in for your international flight. Additional services, including airport lodging, can be added based on the timing of your international flight.
Our services end at Cairo Airport.

Step Pyramid. Another short drive will bring you to Dahshur, where you will experience how the Egyptians progressed on building pyramids after the Step Pyramid. Amazing attractions here include the 4600-year-old Bent Pyramid as well as the Red Pyramid, both built by the Pharoah Sneferu.

The Great Pyramids. A 20-minute drive will take you to the Giza Necropolis, where you will break for an included lunch at a restaurant specializing in Egyptian delicacies. After lunch you will drive up the small plateau to the 3 amazing pyramids here, all of which are individually awe-inspiring. The Great Pyramid was built by Khufu, the son of Sneferu, the Pharoah who had the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid constructed at Dahshur. The Great Pyramid has always been the oldest member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and is now the only one of them still remaining.

We will not attempt to describe the incredible size and splendor of these ancient structures – they have to be experienced to be believed.

After the Dahshur Pyramids the pharaohs got busy building these amazing structures and the two tallest pyramids, Khufu’s Great Pyramid and Khafre’s Pyramid, were finished within a few decades after the completion of the Red Pyramid at Dahshur. As Khafre was Khufu’s son, he built his pyramid to a height of 471 feet, as opposed to the Great Pyramid’s 481.4 feet height, but he built it on a slightly higher elevation close by, thereby making his pyramid seem taller. Although significantly smaller than these two pyramids, the third pyramid at Giza, built by Menkaure, son of Khafre, is well worth a visit.

The Great Sphinx. Next up is the Great Sphinx, which is commonly believed to have been designed and constructed during the above-mentioned Khafre’s reign, with his face mounted on the mythical creature, although scholars are not certain and a debate on its exact origins is ongoing. It is 66 feet high and 62 feet wide and 240 feet long. The awe-inspiring structure offers great photo opportunities, including views with Khafre’s Pyramid as a magnificent backdrop.

The awe-inspiring structure offers great photo opportunities, including views with Khafre’s Pyramid as a magnificent backdrop.

Although there are remains of scores of other pyramids in Egypt, it is an interesting fact that the above mentioned largest still intact pyramids, with the exception of the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, were all built over about just 80 years by four generations of Pharaohs, starting with Menkaure’s great grandfather, Pharoah Sneferu. You will avoid Cairo’s miserable rush hour traffic and return to your hotel after this exploration of Giza.
(Overnight – Fairmont Nile City)

Day 3: Cairo. Today you will start your exploration of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Islamic Cairo, also known as Historic Cairo. Although areas that now comprise the metropolis of Cairo are much older than this, Islamic Cairo was founded in the 10th century and has flourished since then in one form or another.

Islamic Cairo (UWHS). There are impressive mosques and other historic structures, as well as a unique culture and atmosphere that has not changed much over the centuries. Start with an exploration of the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a fortress that houses museums and beautiful gardens, with the most impressive structure being the Alabaster Mosque, or the Mosque of Mohamed Ali. This Citadel was home to Egypt’s rulers from the 12th to the 19th century.

Al-Muizz Street. After this you will enter the walls of Islamic Cairo from the Gate of El Nasr (Gate of Victory) and start a fascinating walk through the neighborhoods. Much of your walk will be on Al-Muizz street, which has been Islamic Cairo’s main thoroughfare since the 10th Century. Many of Cairo’s ancient historic attractions are located on this street, and there is unique architecture and culture to be found everywhere you look. There are beautiful mosques, Islamic schools that have existed for many centuries, and ancient souks.

Al-Muizz street is often called the largest Islamic open-air museum in the world.

Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. Next is a walk in Cairo’s Old Bazaar, Khan el-Khalili. This souk is always full of tourists and Egyptians and the colors, smells and sounds have to be experienced to be believed. Depending on how much time you spend at each attraction and experience on this day, you will have the option today to break for lunch (authentic local cuisine is recommended and your Guide can make suggestions) at a time of your choice, or return to your hotel for a late lunch.

Coptic CairoNext up is an exploration of Coptic Cairo. The Coptic Christians built their churches inside the Roman fortress interestingly named Babylon. Egypt was a Christian nation for three centuries between the 3rd and 7th century and the beautiful churches in Old Cairo were built mainly during that period.

Coptic Christians make up between 8 to 15% of Egypt's population today, depending on the source of information, and their unique culture and architecture is fascinating to observe. Much of the delight in this short exploration is just walking through the ancient neighborhoods, taking in this unique culture and architecture.

Hanging Church. Impressive churches you will visit include the famous Hanging Church, parts of which are purported to belong to the 3rd century.

Another church will be the 5th century Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church, which was built over the crypt where Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus are said to have rested during their journey in Egypt. You will have the opportunity to enter the crypt and view the details, including the tiny alcove where the infant Jesus slept.

Your last stop can be at the Synagogue of Ben Ezra. There has been a house of worship in this location since the 4th century, first a church and then the synagogue. As less than a dozen Jewish people now make Cairo their home, the synagogue and its beautiful interior now serve as a museum.
(Overnight – Fairmont Nile City)

Day 4: Cairo - Alexandria. In the morning you will be assisted with your check-out and you will now proceed to one of two museums.

Grand Egyptian Museum Option: You are driven to the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum, which, at 5.2 million sq. feet, is the largest archaeological museum on our planet. This incredible collection of 50,000 antiquities includes the vast and amazing Tutankhamun Collection, a 3200-year-old 83 ton and 32.8-foot-tall red granite statue of Ramses II, as well as a plethora of artifacts that have never been displayed before. Viewing all the treasures in the museum would take many days and so your Egyptologist Tour Director will tell you about the possible highlights and, based on your preferences, design your visit accordingly. Just as during the rest of your tour, your Tour Director will regale you with fascinating tales about the major exhibits that you are experiencing. Lunch at one of the restaurants at the museum is recommended at a time of your choice.

Drive to Alexanderia. You are driven to Alexandria after lunch. This three-hour drive will bring you to the legendary city that was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and is the largest city on the Mediterranean Sea. Not much of its Greek history remains and most of the ancient monuments you will visit belong to the Roman period, which began with the deaths of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony in 27 BC. In its heyday Alexandria was home to the Lighthouse of Alexandria (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world), the Great Library (the largest in the world during its time), and the Necropolis (one of the seven wonders of the Middle Ages). Unfortunately, none of these exist today and Cleopatra’s magnificent palace can only be visited by divers as it is submerged in the sea. You are driven to your gorgeous hotel in Alexandria and assisted with check-in to your sea view room. The Steigenberger Cecil Hotel’s architectural grandeur was originally constructed in 1929, and the hotel's architecture and decor are a testament to the cosmopolitan nature of Alexandria during the early 20th century.
(Overnight - Steigenberger Cecil Hotel)

Day 5: Alexandria. Please note that all the sights detailed below are within a fairly small historical area and walking between attractions, for those who like to walk, is recommended. You also do not need to visit all the attractions, and your Egyptologist Guide will help you design your day as per your preferences. Among other things, you can ask to visit ancient souks and popular restaurants – Alexandria’s cuisine is famous for its diversity as it is influenced by multiple Mediterranean regions.

Start your exploration of Alexandria in the mid-morning (after the heavy rush-hour traffic) with a drive along the Corniche as you head to the Citadel of Sultan Qaitbay. This fort was built in 1474 AD and was one of the Mediterranean’s best fortifications in its time. Constructed at the same spot where the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood, many of its massive stones were originally part of the lighthouse, which had completely collapsed by the 14th century. The current structure has seen major renovations, especially after the British bombarded it in the 19th century, and after a brief tour, you will enjoy a 15-minute walk (driving is an option for those who do not want to walk) on the corniche with the sea on one side and some of Alexandria’s older sights on the other.

The walk will end at the Abu al-Abbas Al-Mursi Mosque.

Dedicated to a 13th Century Sufi Saint, this beautiful mosque was originally constructed in 1307 AD, but was subsequently destroyed and rebuilt. Your stop here will be a brief photo opportunity. After the mosque a short drive will bring you to what many visitors consider Alexandria’s most impressive remaining ancient site, the Catacombs of Kom el Shokafa, part of the aforementioned Wonder of the Middle Ages, the Necropolis.

The tombs in the three-tiered solid stone (the bottom tier is now submerged) catacomb are said to have been used for about two hundred years starting from the 2nd Century. The catacombs are extremely impressive in scale and the details, including the carvings and pillars, and the timeless feeling that the site evokes. Kom el Shokafa means Mound of Chards. The name originates from what was discovered in these catacombs in 1900 AD by a working donkey who fell down a hidden shaft. When the experts subsequently entered, they found that the common areas of the catacombs had a number of piles of smashed ancient pottery. Archaeologists believe that when visitors came to their relatives’ graves, they would stay for a meal that they had brought along. Not wanting to take the pottery used for this meal to their homes, they shattered them and left them in the piles.

A 3-minute drive will bring you to the Serapeum and Pompey’s Pillar. This site is almost completely in ruins and was extensively plundered long ago. The Serapeum at Alexandria was a magnificent Greek Temple constructed in the 3rd Century BC. At one time this was the largest and most impressive temple in Alexandria, but now the remaining attraction here is Pompey’s Pillar. Erected in the 3rd Century AD to honor the Roman emperor, this gray granite monolith is 88 feet high and still one of the largest of its kind on our planet. Although the Serapeum has some areas to explore, including its own catacombs, it is Pompey’s Pillar that is the main attraction here, and it is well worth the stop.

You can choose to break for lunch at any time you want during this day’s sightseeing – your guide will give you your nearby dining options. Another short drive from the Serapeum (you can choose to get off well before you arrive and walk on the corniche with your guide) will bring you to the location next to the Great Library of Alexandria. The original library that was built here between the 4th and 3rd Century BC was arguably the world’s greatest library during its first couple of centuries of existence, but after that it gradually lost prominence and what remained was eventually destroyed by the ruling Christians. The greatest geniuses in the world, including Aristotle, are said to have had volumes of their writings on papyrus stored at the library.

What currently stands very near the ancient library is the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

This spectacular structure was inaugurated in 2002 after 6 years of construction and an expense of $220 million at that time. Please note that this massive complex is closed on Fridays and public holidays. Its incredible architecture and design, both inside and out, are alone well worth a visit – the sea view is quite amazing from the gorgeous main reading room with its 105-foot-high glass roof. This is actually a massive Cultural Centre, there are multiple museums, art galleries, permanent and rotating exhibition halls, a planetarium, manuscript restoration project, specialized libraries for maps, the visually impaired, children, and a lot more. Your guide will offer you a brief tour of some of the highlights and any section you want to visit.

From here you will drive nearby to Stanley Bridge for a short walk across the small bay while you enjoy the wonderful views. This pretty bridge is 100 feet wide and a quarter mile long and is considered a part of the corniche by the locals. From the bridge you will be driven back to your hotel.
(Overnight - Steigenberger Cecil Hotel)

Day 6: Alexandria – Cairo Airport – Aswan. You are assisted with your checkout in the morning and driven to Cairo airport where you are assisted with your check-in to your early afternoon flight to Aswan.

Arrive at Aswan and you are driven to your spectacular historic hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.

You are assisted with your checkout in the morning and driven to Cairo airport where you are assisted with your check-in to your early afternoon flight to Aswan. Arrive at Aswan and you are escorted to your wonderful upscale hotel and assisted with your check-in. Nestled on Elephantine Island amidst the serene waters of the Nile, Movenpick Resort Aswan boasts stunning panoramic views of the river, and the resort's architecture pays homage to traditional Nubian styles, characterized by domed ceilings, arched windows, and intricately designed interiors. Its expansive gardens, dotted with palm trees and vibrant flora, provide a picturesque setting. The private balconies and terraces invite guests to unwind while watching the sun set over the river, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink.
(Overnight – Movenpick Aswan)

Day 7: Aswan - Abu Simbel Excursion. In the morning your Guide will accompany you to the Aswan airport and assist you in boarding the short flight to Abu Simbel. Arrive at Abu Simbel and you are ushered to your private vehicle and driven to Ramses II’s most awe-inspiring creation.

Abu Simbel (UWHS). Located on the western banks of Lake Naseer, these colossal temples are still accessible to humanity because of one of the most amazing archaeological engineering feats of all time. Between 1964 and 1968 everything in and outside these temples were cut into massive blocks weighing up to 30 tons each and transported to a location 213 feet higher than where they were originally constructed. UNESCO and the Egyptian Government orchestrated a massive campaign with a large and diverse international team of specialists and accomplished this incomprehensibly difficult project so as to save the temples from the rising waters of the Nile to be caused by the impending opening of the Aswan High Dam.

The Great Temple. The Abu Simbel Temples are part of the ‘Nubian Monuments’ UNESCO World Heritage Site, which also includes Philae, near Aswan. Built in the 13th Century BC over 20 years, these two temples were created to establish, in the minds of the Nubian people, Ramses II’s power and near-divinity, as well as the might of Egypt. The first temple, known as The Great Temple, has four massive 66-foot-tall statues of Ramses II seated on thrones at its entrance, and is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt.

Much smaller statues of the royal family, including his wife Nefertari, are situated around the seated monarchs’ legs. Amazing historic treasures await visitors inside the temple, which has a triangular layout reducing in scale as you go deeper to the main sanctum. There are beautiful statues, gorgeous bas-reliefs, impressive pillars, and objects devoted to the three ancient Egyptian Gods to whom Ramses II dedicated this temple.

The Small Temple. A short distance away is The Small Temple, dedicated to Goddess Hathor and Queen Nefertari. This temple is only the second temple in Ancient Egypt’s many millennia long history that is dedicated to the consort of a king, and is one of the very few times such a major monument presented statues of the king and his queen that were equal in size. Surrounding the entrance are three 33-foot statues on each side, with statutes of Ramses II bookending the two statues of Queen Nefertari on both sides. The interior of the temple offers amazing treasures and is similarly beautiful as The Great Temple, although smaller in scale. After exploring these wonders, you will return to the airport and fly back to Aswan, returning to your hotel for some relaxation.

After exploring these wonders, you will return to the airport and fly back to Aswan, returning to your hotel for some relaxation.

Nubian Museum. In the late afternoon you are driven to Aswan’s Nubian Museum, an award-winning building with a midsize collection of amazing antiquities ranging from local geological wonders to a unique and impressive collection of Nubian, Pharaonic, Roman, Coptic, and Islamic antiquities. This fairly short visit will significantly enhance your understanding and appreciation of what you are experiencing in the Aswan region.

Sunset Felucca Cruise. In the early evening you will board a traditional felucca and enjoy a cruise on the Nile and watch the spectacular sunset over this fabled region.
(Overnight – Movenpick Aswan)

Day 8: Aswan – 3 Night Nile Cruise. Late this morning you are assisted with your checkout and driven to the pier where your cruise vessel is docked. After lunch, you will join your Guide and proceed on a private cruise to, and exploration of, what is called Philae Island, but that name was transferred to this island.

Philae Island was the original island home of these massive structures and they were moved as part of the incredible project that moved Abu Simbel’s Temples. This awe-inspiring complex was moved to Agilika Island by the Egyptian Government and UNESCO as Philae Island had existing flooding issues even before the Aswan High Dam was constructed – it is now mostly submerged.

The Temple of Isis on the island is a part of the Nubian Monuments UNESCO World Heritage Site and was dedicated to the Gods Isis, Osiris, and Horus.

Among other subjects, the amazing bas-reliefs on the temple’s walls portray how Isis brought Osiris back to life, gave birth to Horus, and mummified Osiris after his death. It is purported to be Osiris’ final resting place. Originally built around 700 BC, the temple complex had subsequent additions made by both Egyptians and, later on, Roman rulers. The Temples of Philae were a major pilgrimage site for Nubians, Egyptians, and people from far away lands. The amazing details on the walls, statues and columns are among the most impressive you will find anywhere, and the worship of Isis continued here until the 6th Century.

History of Philae Temple. Christians had established a foothold on Philae during the fourth century, and they initially co-existed with the ongoing religious practices at the Philae Temple. In the 6th century they took over and converted parts of the complex to a church, defacing a number of significant monuments and structures in the process. Just as many of Ancient Egypt’s most important sites, some of the most valuable artifacts of the Temple were removed by European archaeologists during later colonial times. Your Guide will escort you back to your cruise Vessel in time for Tea.
(Overnight - M/S Jaz Regent Nile Cruise)

Day 9: Cruise. Today you will cruise towards Luxor, stopping at Kom Ombo and Edfu for explorations of the amazing Temple Complexes. At each port your Guide will be waiting for you to take you on a private tour of each of the temple complexes.

Kom Ombo Temple. Unique in its design, Kom Ombo is dedicated to two sets of gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god. This dual dedication is reflected in the temple's symmetrical layout, essentially creating two parallel temples within a single structure. The temple complex includes sanctuaries, hypostyle halls, and numerous reliefs and inscriptions that depict religious rituals, deities, and Ptolemaic rulers.

One of the most intriguing features of the Kom Ombo temple is the presence of crocodile mummies discovered in the nearby Sobek sanctuary. These mummified crocodiles underscore the reverence ancient Egyptians had for Sobek, who was believed to protect them from the dangers of the Nile. The temple also contains a well-preserved Nilometer, a structure used to measure the water level of the Nile and predict the success of the annual flood, which was crucial for agriculture.

Edfu Temple. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky and kingship, Edfu is the largest temple dedicated to Horus and one of the best-preserved temples in all of Egypt. Construction of the temple began in 237 BCE and was completed in 57 BCE. Edfu Temple is renowned for its imposing pylon entrance, which stands at 36 meters high and is decorated with scenes of the pharaoh smiting his enemies before Horus. The temple's layout follows the traditional pattern of Egyptian temples, with a large courtyard leading to a hypostyle hall, and finally to the inner sanctuaries where the statue of Horus would have been housed.

The walls of Edfu are covered with intricate reliefs and inscriptions that provide a wealth of information about the temple's construction, religious rituals, and mythology. One of the most significant narratives depicted is the mythical battle between Horus and Seth, his uncle and the god of chaos, which symbolizes the eternal struggle between order and disorder.
(Overnight - M/S Jaz Regent Nile Cruise)

Day 10: Cruise Arrival at Luxor. You will dock at Luxor overnight and, after breakfast you will join your guide and a short drive will bring you to the Valley of the Kings.

Valley of the Kings. You will explore the most impressive tombs in the barren and scenic valley, and not have long waits under the desert sun like other visitors.

Capacity is controlled at all Tombs and the popular standard Tombs are nice but not as impressive and have long lines. The handpicked tombs we take you to require individual entrance tickets and have, at most, very short lines.

Camera Photography can often be restricted at one or more Tombs without any prior notice. Some of the Tombs, such as the magnificent Tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens, currently do not permit any photography except with cell phones, but the option to even use your phone’s camera is subject to change at any time. Please note that photography rules are strictly enforced.

Your exploration will include the following premium attractions:

1: The Tomb of Ramses V & VI (KV9) - This 340-foot-long Tomb was started by Ramses V but later taken over by his successor, Ramses VI.

The paintings, bas-reliefs and hieroglyphs covering the walls and ceilings are among the best preserved in the Valley, making for an incredibly colorful Tomb.

2: The Tomb of Tutankhamun (King Tut) (KV62) - This is one of the smaller Tombs in the valley. The Tomb was discovered in 1922 with all its treasures intact, and the majority of these artifacts are now the most impressive section of displays in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. You will be able to see young King Tut’s mummified remains in the Tomb, and the glittering shrines in his burial chamber.

3: The Tomb of Seti I (KV17) - This is the longest Tomb in the valley at over 450 feet, and also one of the deepest. There are incredible decorations on the walls and ceilings, and its vivid colors are a delight to behold.

Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. Before reaching the Valley of the Queens and Nefertari’s Tomb, you will stop along the way at this wonderfully restored temple complex. This impressive 3500-year-old structure is built on 3 levels reaching almost 100 feet at the top. During your travels your Egyptologist Tour Director will share some fascinating tales about Queen Hatshepsut, one of the smartest rulers of this ancient world.

Colossi of Memnon. The last stop on this exploration will be at these two massive 14 Century BC statues of King Amenhotep III. These ancient structures reach about 60 feet high and are estimated to each weigh about 720 tons. Unlike most visitors, you will visit these at the end of your exploration on this day so that you can be among the first to arrive at the Valley of the Kings in the morning.

We recommend that you spend this late afternoon on board the Zahra and enjoy its lavish facilities as your visit to the Luxor Temple will be much better on the next day - it is located a very short walk from your Luxor hotel.
(Overnight - M/S Jaz Regent Nile Cruise)

Day 11: Luxor. You have the option of a very early start in the morning for a balloon ride over Ancient Thebes – PLEASE inform us about your preference while finalizing your reservation. Your Guide greets you at your final disembarkation after breakfast.

Karnak Temple Complex. Welcome to ancient Thebes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your destination this morning is the incredible Karnak Temple Complex. Occupying about 200 acres, the Karnak Temple and its structures are purported to be the largest religious complex ever to be built.

Construction of the first parts started about 5000 years ago, and continued over the reign of about 30 Pharaohs. The site is made up of four parts, out of which only the largest part, the Precinct of Amun-Re, is open to the public. This is the second most visited site in Egypt after the Giza Pyramids. Experience the hundreds of ancient structures, including the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall, a 50,000 square foot Hall with 134 massive beautifully carved pillars. 122 of these pillars are 33 feet tall, while the other 12 are 69 feet high and almost 10 feet in diameter.

After your exploration of the Karnak Complex, you are driven to your upscale hotel on the Nile and assisted with your check-in after lunch – check-in is at 3 pm. The Sonesta St. George seamlessly blends modern amenities with traditional Egyptian opulence, and your rooms have a great view of the Nile. Its strategic location provides easy access to Luxor's myriad of ancient wonders, including the temples of Karnak and Luxor, and the Valley of the Kings.

Luxor Temple and Sunset Illumination: You can enjoy a very short walk on the scenic Nile Corniche (with pushy souvenir sellers) to the Luxor Temple, or you can choose to be driven.

The best time to visit this magnificent 3400-year-old Temple Complex is in the late afternoon as this allows you to first explore its incredible attractions in daylight and then be mesmerized at sunset as the artfully placed spotlights illuminate the façade and the scores of ancient attractions the complex contains.

Avenue of Sphinxes Moonlight Walk: From the Temple you will experience a walk on the similarly lit Avenue of Sphinxes. This ancient royal pathway finished a massive reclamation and restoration project and opened to the public with much fanfare in November 2021. It is a unique experience to walk along the broad avenue in the dark, flanked by gently illuminated ancient sphinxes. The Avenue of Sphinxes was ‘The King’s Festivities Road’, and runs the full 1.7 miles between the awe-inspiring temples of Luxor and Karnak.
(Overnight – Sonesta St. George)

Day 12: Luxor - Cairo - International Departure OR Red Sea Excursion.
Red Sea Excursion Option. A four-hour drive across the desert will bring you to the Hurghada Region on the beautiful Red Sea Coast, and also world-class diving locations such as Marsa Alam. Hurghada has daily multiple flights to Cairo. Please let us know the number of days, and types of activities, that you’d like, at the Red Sea, and we can send you an extension to consider.

International Departure. You are assisted with your checkout in the morning at any time before 11 am. Please note that most outbound international flights from Cairo depart in the early morning. This itinerary assumes that you will fly back to Cairo in the late afternoon or early evening. Listed below are two really nice museums that you can explore, or your Guide will suggest experiences based on your preferences.

The Mummification Museum offers great information on this ancient Egyptian process, along with many more fascinating exhibits. The process of mummification, and the materials used in the process, are displayed in detail. The mummies on display include the 3000 plus year old mummy of Masaharta, the High Priest of Amun at Thebes. There are also mummies of cats, fish and crocodiles.

The Luxor Museum has a lot fewer treasures than the abundance of exhibits found in Cairo’s museums, but the quality of the artifacts that they display is unsurpassed, including amazing pieces from the Karnak Temple Complex.

The displays are widely spaced and identified very well with clear signage.

Flight to Cairo. You will be driven to Luxor airport and assisted in boarding your flight to Cairo. Arrive at Cairo and collect your baggage, and check in for your international flight. Additional services, including airport lodging, can be added based on the timing of your international flight.
