Classic Cairo and Luxor Private Tour

After breakfast, meet your Egyptologist guide and head to the Giza Plateau to stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the timeless Sphinx. Continue to the panoramic viewpoint for photos and an optional camel ride. After lunch at a local restaurant, visit the Egyptian Museum to see the treasures of Tutankhamun and a curated walk through Egypt's most iconic artifacts.

Morning visit to Old Cairo: the Hanging Church, the Coptic alley, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, then a stroll through the bazaars of Khan El Khalili for a coffee break and souvenir shopping. After lunch, transfer to Cairo airport for your flight to Luxor. On arrival, meet our Luxor representative and check into your Nile-side hotel.

Begin with the vast Karnak Temple complex, walking through its towering columns and the great hypostyle hall. Continue to Luxor Temple, once linked to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes, and admire the obelisks and statues that frame the entrance. The afternoon is free for an optional felucca sailboat ride or a quiet hour by the river.

Cross to the West Bank for a focused tour of the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were laid to rest in lavishly decorated tombs. Visit the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahari, carved into the cliffs, and stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two seated statues that have stood for 3,400 years. Return for lunch and a relaxed afternoon.

Enjoy breakfast and a flexible morning depending on flight times. Our representative will assist with check-out and transfer you to Luxor airport for your departure or onward connection.
