Travel Itinerary

Book this tour with confidence with Egypt Voyages

Day 1 - Arrival in Cairo and Giza Sound and Light Show

Meet the representative at Cairo International Airport and transfer privately to the hotel for check-in and time to rest. In the evening, travel to the Giza Plateau for the sound and light presentation, which uses narration, music and projection to introduce the monuments after dark. Have dinner afterward and return to the Cairo hotel.

Day 2 - Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum

Spend the morning on the Giza Plateau, moving between the Great Pyramid, the Great Sphinx and Khafre's valley temple with the guide. Continue into the Grand Egyptian Museum for a focused look at monumental sculpture and selected royal collections. Stop for lunch during the tour, then return to the Cairo hotel for dinner and the night.

Day 3 - Flight from Cairo to Hurghada

Check out after breakfast and transfer to Cairo Airport for the domestic flight to Hurghada. Meet the local driver on arrival and continue to the Red Sea resort. Check in, learn the hotel arrangements and keep the rest of the day open for rest beside the coast.

Day 4 - Free Day in Hurghada

Enjoy a full unscheduled day at the Hurghada resort. Swim, relax on the beach, spend time beside the pool or simply recover from the travel days at a personal pace. Optional excursions can be arranged separately, while meals and soft drinks follow the resort plan.

Day 5 - Red Sea Snorkeling Excursion

Board a boat with the snorkeling team and travel to reef areas selected for the day's sea and weather conditions. Enter the water at guided stops to observe coral and marine life, with time to relax aboard between swims. Return to Hurghada later in the day and spend another night at the resort.

Day 6 - Quad Bike Desert Safari

Leave the coast for a guided quad-bike safari across the Eastern Desert. After a safety briefing and practice time, follow the route through open valleys and mountain scenery, stopping as scheduled during the excursion. A barbecue dinner is served in the desert before the evening transfer back to the Hurghada resort.

Day 7 - Transfer to Luxor and Cruise Embarkation

Travel overland from Hurghada to Luxor and begin the guided east-bank tour at Karnak, exploring its pylons, ceremonial courts and Great Hypostyle Hall. Return to the riverfront in the evening to see Luxor Temple illuminated. Board the Nile cruise afterward, settle into the cabin and spend the first night in Luxor.

Day 8 - Luxor West Bank

Cross to the west bank and enter selected royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Continue to the Colossi of Memnon and Hatshepsut's terraced temple beneath the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, with the guide explaining the setting and surviving reliefs. Return to the cruise for lunch, sailing and the second night aboard.

Day 9 - Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples

Go ashore near Edfu and continue to the Temple of Horus, following its processional route from the massive pylon toward the inner sanctuary. Rejoin the vessel and sail onward to Kom Ombo, where the unusual paired plan served two divine cults. Return aboard after the visit and continue toward Aswan.

Day 10 - Aswan High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk and Philae

Visit the ancient granite quarry and the Unfinished Obelisk, whose abandoned form reveals how large monuments were cut from the bedrock. Continue to the Aswan High Dam, then cross by motorboat to Agilkia Island for Philae Temple. Return to the cruise afterward for the fourth and final night aboard in Aswan.

Day 11 - Flight to Cairo and Historic City Tour

Disembark after breakfast and fly from Aswan to Cairo. Begin at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, then enter Old Cairo to see the elevated nave of the Hanging Church. Continue separately to Ben Ezra Synagogue and the early mosque founded by Amr Ibn al-As. Finish with a guided walk along Al-Muizz Street and through Khan El Khalili before hotel check-in.

Day 12 - Alexandria Day Tour

Travel north to Alexandria and descend into the Roman-era Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. Continue to Pompey's Pillar and the waterfront Qaitbay Citadel, then visit the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina after lunch. Return to Cairo in the evening and spend another night at the hotel.

Day 13 - Free Day in Cairo

Keep the final full day open in Cairo. Rest at the hotel, revisit a preferred neighborhood or arrange an optional activity according to personal interest. Any independent outing should be planned around current opening hours, traffic and the agreed hotel transport arrangements.

Day 14 - Departure from Cairo

Enjoy breakfast, check out and transfer privately to Cairo International Airport. The representative assists with the departure formalities before your onward flight, concluding the fourteen-day journey.
