Travel Itinerary
Book this tour with confidence with Egypt Voyages
Day 1 - Arrival and Giza Sound and Light Show
Meet the representative at Cairo International Airport and transfer to the hotel for check-in. In the evening, attend the scheduled sound-and-light presentation at the Giza pyramids, followed by dinner in Cairo. Return to the hotel after the show.
Day 2 - Giza, Grand Egyptian Museum and Saqqara
Tour the Giza Plateau, taking in the Great Pyramid, Great Sphinx and Valley Temple. Continue to selected galleries at the Grand Egyptian Museum, then travel south to Saqqara for Djoser's Step Pyramid and its ceremonial complex.
Day 3 - Alexandria Catacombs, Citadel and Library
Drive to Alexandria and begin underground at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. Continue to Pompey's Pillar, Qaitbay Citadel at the eastern harbor and the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Check in at the Alexandria hotel rather than returning to Cairo.
Day 4 - El Alamein Museum and Return to Cairo
Travel west along the Mediterranean coast to El Alamein, a decisive North African battlefield of the Second World War. Visit the military museum to view maps, uniforms, vehicles and equipment from the campaign, then return east and continue to the Cairo hotel.
Day 5 - Fly to Luxor and Explore the East Bank
Take the domestic flight to Luxor and begin at Karnak, walking through its pylons, courts and enormous Hypostyle Hall. Later, visit Luxor Temple on the riverfront and trace the ceremonial connection between the two sanctuaries. Check in at the Luxor hotel.
Day 6 - Luxor West Bank and Transfer to Hurghada
Cross to the west bank and explore Hatshepsut's terraced temple at Deir el-Bahari. Enter selected royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and stop at the Colossi of Memnon, then travel through the Eastern Desert to Hurghada for check-in.
Day 7 - Supervised Red Sea Wreck Diving
Meet the licensed dive team for equipment checks, certification review and a site briefing. The source proposes the Salem Express, a deep and sensitive wreck site; any dive there must depend on qualification, experience, medical fitness, current regulations and sea conditions. Return to Hurghada after the day's approved dive plan.
Day 8 - Hurghada Desert Safari
Travel inland for a guided desert excursion using the vehicle and protective equipment specified by the operator. The proposed program includes quad biking, a Bedouin cultural stop, dinner and sunset views. Return to the resort after the evening drive.
Day 9 - Supervised Red Sea Reef Diving
Join the dive instructor for a second day on the water. Carless Reef and Shaab Abu Ramada are proposed sites, but the captain and dive leader should select locations according to certification level, currents, visibility and marine conditions. Complete the logged dives and return to the hotel.
Day 10 - Free Day in Hurghada
Keep the day free for rest at the Red Sea resort. This unscheduled interval is especially useful after consecutive activity days; no additional diving or excursion is included unless separately confirmed.
Day 11 - Fly to Cairo and Tour the Historic City
Fly to Cairo and visit the Egyptian Museum, Saladin's Citadel and the Muhammad Ali Mosque. Continue to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, then explore the Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue before Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque. Finish along Al-Muizz Street and at Khan El Khalili.
