An Egypt tour in 2 days is a high-energy “sprint” through history. This duration is perfect for business travelers on a layover or weekend visitors from Europe and the GCC. The two-day format became very popular. It focuses on the most iconic monuments in and around Cairo. At Egypt Fun Tours, we maximize every hour. We use private transportation to bypass the crowds. This ensures you see the best of the Pharaohs, even with a limited schedule, in all our 2-day Egypt Tours.

You might think 48 hours is too short. However, a well-planned itinerary can cover the “must-see” sites.
First, you can focus entirely on Cairo and Giza. This eliminates long travel times to the south. Second, you can stay in a hotel overlooking the Pyramids. This allows you to enjoy the view even during your rest time. Finally, you can visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). It is located right next to the Giza Plateau for maximum efficiency.
Your first day focuses on the most famous structures on Earth.
Your second day explores the heart of the capital and its golden treasures.
Yes. You can see the Giza Pyramids and Saqqara comfortably in one day.
It is possible, but very tiring. You would need to take a domestic flight. We recommend staying in Cairo for a 2-day trip to avoid travel fatigue.
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Even in two days, you will walk a lot. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the Cairo sun.
