Day 1: Meet & Pick-up upon arrival: Our “Egypt Fun Tours” specialist will help you with all of your passport entry requirements and baggage identification & carry when you arrive at Cairo International Airport. Following your transport in a private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel for check-in, your Cairo tour will start that evening with a dinner cruise on the Nile River. After unwinding and taking in a vibrant belly dance performance with a folklore band that includes the iconic Tannoura spin in observance of Egypt’s whirling dervishes heritage, you will be transferred back to your hotel for the night.

Day 2: Go to Sakkara and the Giza Pyramids: After breakfast and check-out from the hotel, you’ll meet your private Egyptologist tour guide to start your Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria trip by visiting some of the most important structures from ancient Egypt’s civilization, such as:

Giza Pyramids Complex

The Giza pyramid complex is a genuine miracle that dates back more than 4,000 years. It contains the three main pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the great sphinx, the only guardian of Egypt, and the valley temple, all of which were built to ascend to the heavens to take their rightful place and leave their legacy for countless future generations.

The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Khufu is one of the biggest buildings in the world and the last remaining example of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was built in 2580 BC, making it more than 4500 years old, and is credited for ushering in the Golden Age of Contracture. It took 20 years to construct, using 2,300,000 pieces of limestone, and it rises to a height of 147 meters (481 feet), making it the highest structure in existence for 3800 years until the Lincoln Cathedral in England was erected in 1311 AD. Due to its intricate construction and design throughout ancient times, the pyramid continues to be the subject of several fanciful and enigmatic hypotheses.

The Great Sphinx

Being the oldest monument still standing and the source of so much mystery and awe, the magnificent sphinx is well recognized. It is shaped like the mythological monster known as the sphinx, which has a lion’s body and a man’s head, most likely King Khafre, also known as King Chephren, as a sign of knowledge and strength. Its heights are 73 meters (240 feet) and 19 meters (66 feet).

The Valley Temple

The Valley Temple is a funerary temple famous for having been the site of mummification since the Old Kingdom of Egypt. It is one of the best-preserved constructions from the era of ancient Egypt. It is composed completely of limestone and granite and has magnificent Chephren diorite figures.

Proceed to a neighborhood eatery in Cairo for lunch. Next, go to visit:

Step Pyramid of Saqqara

The Saqqara Step Pyramid was the first pyramid built in ancient Egypt, ushering in an era of pyramid building there. Its distinctive design, which consists of six steps and rises to a total height of 62 meters, was created by the notorious Imhotep, the vizier of Pharaoh Djoser. Additionally, a complex that was the first of its type and has stunning ornamentation and imposing ceremonial buildings surrounds the pyramid.

City of Memphis

Memphis City, established by King Menes, also known as Narmer, to unite the two kingdoms, was the cradle of ancient Egyptian hierarchy and control. It was also the country’s first recognized capital. It is renowned for being a country of tenacity, strength, and beauty. It is also the birthplace of the god Ptah, the patron of creation and the arts. It is home to several ancient ruins that date back more than 4,000 years, as well as magnificent temples to gods and goddesses like Aton and Hathor.

After the second day, your tour guide will take you to the airport in Cairo so you can catch your flight to the fantastical city of Luxor, where you will spend the night.

Day 3: View Luxor East Bank Attractions: You will have your breakfast at your accommodation on day three as you meet your tour guide and see all the stunning Luxor tourist sites in the East Bank, beginning with:

Temple of Karnak

The Karnak Temple sometimes referred to as the Temple of Holy Beauty, is one of the largest outdoor museums in the world. It was also referred to as Pr-Imn House of Amon and Ipet-isu The Most Selected Of Places. It has been around for more than 4,000 years and is one of the biggest religious structures in the world.

For more than 1500 years, it served as the center of all of ancient Egypt’s religious observances. It had a shrine for several gods, including Osiris, Montu, Ptah, Isis, and others, but it was primarily devoted to the Theban triad, which was made up of God Amun, his wife Mut, the Goddess of Justice, and their son Khnsou, the Moon God.

After a delicious restaurant for lunch, you’ll be driven to a 5-star hotel to check in and unwind. In the evening, you’ll travel with your tour guide to see the following places:

Luxor Temple by Night

The mesmerizing beauty, charm, and creative essence of the whole city may be seen in the Luxor Temple. It was constructed about 1400 BCE under Pharaoh Amenhotep III, and at the time it was called “Ipetresyet,” which means the southern sanctuary. The temple, which was devoted to the Theban Triad god Amun and intended to symbolize the idea of the revival of royalty, was genuinely enchanting because of its elaborate embellishments. The moon only shines on the temple at night, when it is the greatest time to visit when everything is brought to the world of the living.

Go to your 5-star hotel to spend the night.

Day 4: Visit Luxor West Bank landmarks: After breakfast, you will continue your tour of the gorgeous cities of Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria with your guide before enjoying a tour of Luxor West Bank, which will begin with:

The Kings’ Valley

The greatest kings and queens of the New Kingdom are buried in the Valley of the Kings, a mythical gateway to the afterlife constructed by the ancient Egyptians in the middle of a mountain (1570-1070 BC). The valley was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979 due to its historical and artistic significance; it contains 63 tombs, the most famous of which are those of Rameses II, Amenhotep I, Hatshepsut, and the well-known boy-king Tutankhamun. Each of these tombs is filled with magnificent statues, artifacts, and decorative elements.

Temple of Hatshepsut

The Hatshepsut Temple, also known as Djeser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies), is said to be the most exquisite building ever built by ancient Egyptians. It was constructed in 1479 BC to demonstrate the danger posed by the New Kingdom (1550–1070 BC), Hatshepsut’s devotion to the god Amun, and her might and allure, which made her one of the most successful monarchs in Ancient Egypt’s history. The temple’s structure is based on the idea of classical architecture and houses some of Egypt’s most stunning sculptures, decorations, and works of art.

Enjoy your lunch at a first-rate Luxor restaurant before traveling with your tour guide to see:

Memnon’s Colossi

Amenhotep III (1386–1350) constructed the Colossi of Memnon, which rise at a height of 18 meters (60 feet), weigh 720 tonnes each, and are shaped like the Pharaoh himself. They were intended to serve as the enormous guards of Luxor. A significant earthquake that occurred in 27 BC devastated the colossi, although they were later reconstructed in 199 AD. The Vocal Memnon phenomena, which was caused by the statues sometimes making a singing sound that was nothing more than the sound of the wind blowing past the statue at dawn, made the sculptures highly well-known throughout the Greco-Roman era.

Transfer back to your 5-star hotel in Luxor for the night after the day.

Day 5: Fly to Cairo and see the city’s historic landmarks: After eating breakfast at the hotel, you will be taken to the airport in Luxor to catch your flight to Cairo. When you get to Cairo, you’ll finish your tour of the city’s sites, beginning with:

The Egyptian Museum

All the marvels and secrets of ancient Egyptian culture are kept in storage and are guarded by the Egyptian Museum. The museum’s monuments and relics span more than 4000 years and several historical eras. Over 120,000 unique, authentic artifacts in the shape of sculptures, jewelry, and funerary items are housed inside the museum’s two levels. These artifacts are fashioned from both expensive materials like gold and jewels and more affordable ones like wood or stone. King Tutankhamun’s riches are the most well-known and popular exhibits, and the museum also included several mummies that were on display.

In Cairo, lunch will be provided in a neighborhood eatery before visiting:

Citadel of Salah El Din

The Salah El-Din Citadel, often known as the Cairo Citadel, has been keeping watch over the city for many generations. The great king Salah el Din finished it in 1182 AD. During the Crusades and Napoleon’s French invasion, it functioned as a strong fortification, and in the 19th century, it was transformed into the government’s seat of power for more than 700 years. The Citadel is a magnificent marvel, including several museums with exquisitely designed structures, as well as unfathomable beauty and amazement.

Mosque of Mohamed Ali

The Mohamed Ali Mosque, which makes great use of marble, is a work of living art known as the alabaster mosque. It was built between 1830 and 1848 AD as a copy of the blue mosque in Istanbul as a symbol of freedom and independence from the Ottoman Empire. The mosque was built with elements of French rococo and ottoman design, and it has an enormous, breathtaking dome. It includes a Turkish ablutions fountain that resembles a large Easter egg and an elegant brass clock that King Louis Philippe of France gave to Muhammad Ali in 1845 in return for an obelisk that now stands in Paris’ Concorde Square.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is a mystical gateway to Egypt’s eternal legacy, which will be revealed via the amazing artifacts and monuments that date back more than 4,000 years, exposing both Egypt’s physical and intangible culture and history.

Market in Khan El Khalili

The Khan El Khalili Mosque is a time capsule that has managed to endure in the present. The bazaar, which dates back to 970 AD and is the oldest operating market in the Middle East, is known as the “golden brick road of the Middle East.” The street has exquisitely decorated Islamic buildings. The street is still in use today and has everything a traveler could want. It is also home to several cafés and stores that are hundreds of years old, giving it a fantastic vintage atmosphere.

After that, you’ll move to a five-star hotel in Cairo for the night to round off your day.

Day 6: a visit to Alexandria landmarks: Day six begins with you enjoying breakfast before continuing your trip to Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. You will be accompanied by your Egyptologist tour guide as you travel to Alexandria, starting with:

Kom El Shoqafa’s catacombs

The Catacombs are one of the rare instances of art designs to be found anywhere on the globe, and they represent the appeal and impact of ancient Egyptian civilization on Greco-Roman society. It was built as a necropolis in the second century AD and can combine aesthetic aspects from the Hellenistic and Roman cultures with the Pharaonic architecture of ancient Egypt in the most beautiful way. Its extensive collection of Greek and Roman antiques and decorations earned it the distinction of being one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

Return to the surface and continue your visit:

Pompey’s Pillar

One of the most impressive monolithic columns ever constructed outside of Rome, Pompey’s Pillar is a true representation of power. It is composed entirely of solid red granite and is 28 meters high by 2.7 meters broad. On its western top side is a Greek inscription honoring Emperor Diocletian. It is known as Pompey’s Pillar because, throughout the Middle Ages, crusaders thought in error that the renowned Roman leader Pompey’s bones were kept in a jar at the very top of the pillar.

Enjoy a wonderful lunch at a seafood restaurant before going to:

Citadel of Qaitbay

QaitBey Citadel was built in 1477 by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf Al-Din Qa’it Bay on the same site as the fabled lighthouse of Alexandria using stones salvaged from the destroyed lighthouse that served as the third longest surviving ancient wonder in the world until it was destroyed by a series of earthquakes between 956 AD and 1323 AD. QaitBey Citadel is an echo from the past waiting to survive. For the Islamic age, the citadel boasts some very amazing and entrancing designs.

Alexandria Library

One of the most well-known and well-known places in the world, Alexandria Library serves as a memorial to the old Alexandria Library. The sixth-biggest Francophone library in the world is housed in one of the world’s largest and most technologically equipped libraries.

The library is trilingual since it has books in Arabic, English, and French. It also has the greatest collection of French-language literature in North Africa and the Middle East, lovely art galleries, and some of the world’s rarest books.

In the evening, take a private air-conditioned vehicle back to your accommodation in Cairo.

Day 7: The last day of 7 Days Guided Egypt Tour to Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria: After breakfast at the hotel on the last day of your Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria Tour, a representative from our company will drive you to Cairo Airport so you may safely fly home.

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.

My Dream Came True

October 12, 2024

I had waited 60 years to get to Egypt, in fact it was my 60th birthday gift to myself. I went with my oldest daughter and the experience was excellent. It was meticulously planned by the tour company and was designed for me and my daughter. I never had a minute where I was concerned. We were met by a tour rep at the airport and every step of the way. The guides were beyond expectations. Mydo the best tour guide of Egypt was excellent and very knowledgeable. Tarek our guide for the south, was equally as knowledgeable. I can’t say enough about both. Hani the tour director is the greatest, personable and so very helpful and truly cares that you have the best experience of your life. It was a dream come true. All the holidays we stayed at were 5 star in my opinion. I don’t have a bad word to say about this tour company. My daughter and I were treated exceptionally well by all and by all in Egypt

Islamic cairo and khan el khalili- great tour

September 28, 2024

Wonderful tour with the guide Hamada. I did not feel rushed at all, he explained a lot of facts about the city, the mosque , the water storage room, and also brought me to no hassle shops. He picked a great place to eat and have Turkish coffee and a cold lemon mint drink. We took a took took when we got tired from walking. He also happens to be a great photographer and helped take beautiful pictures. Overall a wonderful tour and great experience.
