Your Egypt in 6 Days cheap holiday package will begin the minute you arrive at Cairo Airport. You will be picked up from the airport and driven to your 5-star hotel reservation in a private air-conditioned vehicle.

In the evening, your Egypt cheap tour package will begin with a dinner cruise on the one and only Nile River, followed by a colorful belly dancing show with a folklore band that includes an amazing Tannoura spin in keeping with Egypt’s whirling dervishes’ tradition. After the show, you will return to your hotel for the night.

2nd day: In Cairo, discover the wealth of ancient relics.

After breakfast, you’ll meet up with your tour guide to begin your Egypt 6 Days Cheap Vacation by touring the world’s most famous ancient monument, the Giza Pyramids:

Giza Pyramids Complex

The complex has been standing for 4000 years, making it one of the world’s oldest complete monuments. The Giza complex includes three major pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple, which houses the afterlife.

The Great Pyramid of Giza

Within the compound, the Great Pyramid of Khufu will be your first stop. It is one of the world’s largest constructions and the final surviving structure of the Ancient World’s Seven Wonders. The building dates back to 2580 BC, making it more than 4500 years old.

It took 20 years to construct, using 2,300,000 2.5-ton limestone stones and a staff of 100,000 unpaid skilled craftsmen. Its height of 147 meters (481 feet) rendered it the world’s tallest structure for 3800 years, until the completion of Lincoln Cathedral in England in 1311. Due to its complicated interior relative to its scale, the Pyramid has been surrounded by riddles and fringe ideas for millennia.

The Great Sphinx of Giza

The Great Sphinx has a unique position among Egypt’s and probably the world’s antiquities. Due to its antiquity, size, and shady provenance, it is one-of-a-kind. Carved from a single piece of limestone, the Sphinx stands 73 meters (240 feet) tall and 19 meters (66 feet) wide. Shaped like a mythological monster with the body of a lion and the head of King Khafre, it symbolizes knowledge and power. In Egypt, it is called Abu Al-Hawl, meaning “Father of Terror” in Arabic.

The Valley Temple

The mummification process was carried out in the Valley Temple, which was built during the Old Kingdom (2686–2134 BC). It is one of the best-preserved buildings of ancient Egyptian culture and a wealth of knowledge about Ancient Egyptian mummification. The Valley is mainly composed of limestone and granite, adorned with exquisite diorite sculptures of King Khafre.

After that, go to a local Cairo restaurant for lunch. After that, we’ll go to see:

Step Pyramid of Saqqara

In 2700 BC, the Saqqara Step Pyramid was one of the earliest Pyramids ever built in Egypt, and it was the Pyramid that began everything circling the Pyramid’s creation in the golden period of Ancient Egypt. Imhotep, Pharaoh Djoser’s vizier, constructed it. The Pyramid, which is built completely of limestone and rises at a height of 62 meters, has a unique six-step design and is encircled by a one-of-a-kind complex.

Memphis City

Memphis, founded by King Menes, was Ancient Egypt’s first capital, serving as the center of Ptah’s authority, commerce, and art. It was home to the vast temple of Hut-Ka-Ptah, meaning “Enclosure of the Ka of Ptah” in Egyptian. The Greeks translated this name as Ai-Gy-Ptos, which became the etymological origin of the term “Egypt.”

Finally, we return you to your hotel for the night.

3rd day: Let Your Spirit Soar with Aswan’s Allure

Day three of your Egypt budget vacation package begins early in the morning with breakfast and check-out from the hotel, followed by transport to Cairo Airport for your flight to Aswan. Meet your private Egyptologist tour guide upon arrival, then go to the Aswan sites, beginning with:

The High Dam

Built between 1960 and 1970 under the rule of Gamal Abdel-Nasser, the High Dam reflects the contemporary essence of Luxor. The Moscow-based Hydro Project Institute collaborated on the construction of the dam to improve Nile flood management, generate hydroelectricity, and provide additional water storage for agriculture in its reservoir, Lake Nasser.

The Unfinished Obelisk

Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) built the Obelisk to stand at the entrance of the Karnak temple alongside the Lateran Obelisk, now housed in the Lateran Palace in Rome. During construction, the Obelisk cracked and remains in place to this day. It stood 42 meters tall and weighed 1,200 tonnes.

The local restaurant in Aswan will serve lunch, and you will conclude the day with a special visit to:

Temple of Philae

The “Myth of Osiris” on the temple walls tells the story of Osiris, whom his evil brother Set kills out of hatred and envy. Osiris later resurrects and becomes the ruler of the underworld. Isis and Osiris’ son, Horus, the sky god, then defeat Set in a fierce battle at the Temple of Edfu.

Check into a 5* hotel in Aswan and stay the night.

Day 4: With Luxor, gaze in awe at the Egyptian Gems.

After breakfast, check out of the hotel and meet your private tour guide for a train ride to Luxor. Continue your Egypt highlights inexpensive vacation by taking a trip to:

The Kings’ Valley

The Valley of the Kings is unique in that it is located deep inside a mountain and serves as the ultimate resting place for Egypt’s greatest kings and queens (1570-1070 BC). Because of the many stunning decorations and spectacular artifacts, UNESCO designated the Valley as a World Heritage Site in 1979. It has 63 tombs with enchanted objects, sculptures, hypnotic decorations, and the bones of pharaohs like Rameses I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, IX, IX, X, Amenhotep I, Hatshepsut, and the legendary boy-king Tutankhamun.

Temple of Hatshepsut

Temple of Hatshepsut Djeser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies) is the most authentic example of ancient Egyptian civilization’s beauty; it depicts the grandeur of the new kingdom (1550-1070 BC), Hatshepsut’s devotion to Amun, and the eminence and attractiveness of one of Ancient Egypt’s most successful rulers, Queen Hatshepsut. It was built in 1479 BC to house the deity Amun.

Memnon’s Colossi

The Colossi of Memnon, giant statues guarding Luxor, are made of two pieces of quartzite sandstone, each weighing 720 tonnes and shaped like Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1350 BC). A massive earthquake in 27 BC damaged the colossi, but they were reconstructed around 199 AD.

During the Greco-Roman era, the statues gained fame for a phenomenon called The Vocal Memnon, where they emitted a singing sound at dawn. This sound was later found to be caused by the wind blowing through the statues.

Then go to an island for lunch, so your tour includes a Nile River boat ride followed by a visit to:

Karnak Temple

The Karnak temple, which was known as Ipet-isu, The Most Selected Of Locations, and Pr-Imn House Of Amon, is the holiest of all the places in Luxor and arguably the world. It is one of the world’s largest open-air museums. It is the world’s largest artificial religious structure, dating back over 4,000 years and serving as the center of the ancient Egyptian kingdom’s religious traditions for about 1,500 years.

Then, spend the night in Luxor at a 5* hotel.

5th day: In Old Cairo, let your inner explorer loose.

Enjoy breakfast, check out of the hotel in the morning, and then go to Luxor airport for a trip to Cairo. Meet your tour guide when you arrive in Cairo, and finish your adventure at the Egyptian Museum and Coptic and Islamic monuments in ancient Cairo:

The Egyptian Museum

Citadel of Salah El Din

It functioned as the kingdom’s headquarters and a formidable fortification against the Crusaders and Napoleon’s French invasion, and it served as the government’s headquarters for more than 700 years in the 19th century.

Mohamed Ali Mosque

Due to its extensive use of marble, the Mohamed Ali Mosque is called “The Alabaster Mosque.” Built between 1830 and 1848 AD, it was designed as a replica of Istanbul’s Blue Mosque and symbolizes independence and freedom from the Ottoman Empire.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
