A 5-day Egypt tour is the perfect solution for international travelers seeking a high-impact cultural escape without the commitment of a multi-week expedition. While Egypt is a land of vast history, a meticulously planned 5-day itinerary allows you to witness the “Crown Jewels” of ancient civilization—from the Great Pyramids of Giza to the golden treasures of Luxor—with zero compromise on luxury or depth.
At Egypt Fun Tours, our 5-Day Egypt Tours are designed for efficiency, utilizing domestic flights and private transfers to ensure you spend more time inside the temples and less time in transit.

In the world of 2026 travel, the “Short-Break” is king. Our 5-Day Egypt Tours cater to three specific types of travelers:
To provide true authority, we offer three distinct ways to spend your 5 days in the Land of the Pharaohs.
This is our most popular 5-Day Egypt Tour package.
For those who prefer a mix of Pharaonic, Roman, and Greek history.
For the adventurous soul seeking something “off the beaten path.”
To hit the 3,000-word authority mark, your category page must include “Insider Secrets” that other sites miss.
On a 5-day trip, your time is your most valuable asset. While trains are cheaper, a flight from Cairo to Luxor takes 60 minutes, whereas the train takes 10–12 hours. All our premium 5-Day Egypt Tours include internal airfare to ensure you are waking up in Luxor, not sleeping on a track.
Don’t just visit the Pyramids; visit them with a strategy. We recommend starting your tour at Saqqara. By seeing the “Evolution of the Pyramid” first, the Great Pyramids of Giza make much more sense architecturally.
While you won’t have time for a full 4-night cruise, you can experience the Nile via a Private Felucca (traditional sailboat) in Cairo or Luxor. This gives you the “Nile Experience” without losing 3 days to a slow-moving cruise ship.
Yes, but it is intense. It requires an early morning flight from Aswan. If Abu Simbel is your “must-see” monument, we recommend our specialized Southern Wonders 5-day itinerary.
The “Sweet Spot” is October to April. The weather is cool enough for back-to-back sightseeing. If you visit in the summer (June–August), we shift our tours to “Sunrise & Sunset” sessions to avoid the midday heat.
How far in advance should I book my tour? We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for peak seasons, to ensure availability and secure the best price. Many tours can be booked up to 12 months in advance.
What is the typical group size for your tours? Our Top speciality is Private Tours. As for groups, group size vary by tour, but we generally keep them small to ensure a personal and high-quality experience. The average is typically between 10-16 guests.
Are your tours private or shared group tours? We offer a mix of both. You can find this information clearly indicated on each individual tour page. Group tours are marked as such, and private options are always available.
How do I know if a specific departure date is available? For Private Tours, you do not need to, as they are available everyday. For group tours, you need to contact us.
What is included in the tour price? Inclusions vary per tour but often cover accommodation, transportation, professional guiding, and certain meals/activities & entrance fees. Detailed inclusions are listed on the itinerary section of each tour page.
Do I need to pay a deposit, and what payment methods do you accept? Yes, a deposit (25%) is required to confirm your booking. We accept major credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) and bank transfers. Full details are in our Terms and Conditions.
Are there any hidden fees or surcharges? No. The price listed on the tour page is the final price, which is inclusive of all mandatory local taxes and fees. Any optional extras will be clearly noted.
What is your cancellation and refund policy? Our policy is clearly detailed in our Terms & Conditions. The amount refunded depends on how far in advance of the start date you cancel. We recommend travel insurance for maximum protection.
Is the destination safe for tourists? Travel safety is our top priority. We closely monitor government advisories and take all necessary precautions. We only operate in areas deemed safe and utilize experienced local guides for maximum security and peace of mind.
Do I need a visa to travel to the destination? Visa requirements vary based on your nationality and the destination. We advise all travelers to check with their country’s embassy or consulate for the most current entry requirements well before departure.
What sort of hotels/accommodation are used? We generally use high-quality, centrally located 4- or 5-star hotels (or the local equivalent). Specific hotel names or classification examples are listed on the individual tour pages.
What should I pack for my tour? A detailed packing list, specific to the tour’s climate and activities, is provided upon booking. Generally, comfortable walking shoes, layers of clothing, and sun protection are a must.
Can I customize a tour or create my own itinerary? Absolutely. If our packages don’t fit your needs, you can work with our travel experts to customize any tour or build a fully private, custom itinerary. Contact us to start planning.
What support is available if I have a problem during the tour? You will have 24/7 access to our dedicated local support team and your tour guide for any emergencies, changes, or issues that may arise during your trip.
My entire family enjoyed every day of our EGYPT 🇪🇬 vacation.. Our tour guide helped us set up the entire trip from beginning to end .. He helped us in every way .. Transportation, meals , shopping , museum , history , just everything .. and my kids love him
My friend and I planned a whirlwind trip to Dubai, the Dead Sea, Petra, Cairo, Luxor, and Sharm el Sheikh for early November 2011 – 6 cities in 10 days! We allotted one afternoon and evening for Cairo, and we wanted to see as much as we could! We drove
Our long drive from Cairo turned into a terrifying flight through Alexandria’s impossibly crowded streets. Our minivan miraculously avoided hitting pedestrians, donkey carts, and old Lada cars. We arrived at the port gates with only 10 minutes to spare. But the guards ignored our U.S. passports, and they refused to
We visited Cairo over a 15-hour layover. Egypt Fun Tours organized a customized and wonderful experience for us. We could not be happier. The day included a visit to all the great sites, the marketplace, dinner, a boat ride on the Nile, and a host of other special requests. I
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
My husband and I had a fantastic time in Egypt, exploring the pyramids and temples and learning more about the ancient Egyptian beliefs and customs. From the time I first contacted Egypt Fun Tours to plan our trip, Hamada responded promptly to our questions. After explaining to him that we
My husband and I visited Egypt in March 2013. First, let me say, ‘Go, go, go!’ – it’s safer and definitely friendlier than many places we’ve visited. Tourism is drastically down – thanks mostly to media misinformation – so it’s a great time to visit to avoid line-ups and crowds
The Nile cruise, Luxor, and Aswan were amazing sites to see, especially when you have the best tour guide in Egypt. Hamada was absolutely fantastic, lots of information, and some of it not spoken by others. This guy was not only a simple tour guide for us, but he also
we took pyramid and Cairo city tours and all went smoothly. The were very flexible to adapt to our requirements. Car, car driver and guide were great. very knowledgable and professional tour. Very recommendable
Hi Hamada! Sorry, we were so quick to say goodbye—my mom was fading 🙂 I just wanted to say thank you for THE MOST AMAZING trip… You thought of every detail, improvised, adapted, overcame every challenge, multitasked personalities, and did it all with grace, intelligence, and kindness.
