10 Days Holiday in Egypt: Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada Package

From the Pyramids of Giza to the shores of the Red Sea, discover four of Egypt's most iconic destinations in one seamless journey.


This 10-day Egypt tour covering Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada is designed for travelers who want a complete Egyptian experience, combining ancient monuments, Nile Valley temples, and Red Sea beaches in a single well-paced itinerary.

Accompanied by private Egyptologist guides and transported in air-conditioned vehicles throughout, guests move effortlessly between Cairo's urban grandeur, the temple-rich banks of the Upper Nile, and the relaxed coastal atmosphere of Hurghada. Accommodation is in five-star hotels at every stop, ensuring a comfortable base after each day of exploration.

The route follows a logical geographic flow: the capital's iconic landmarks come first, followed by a flight to Aswan for the southern temples, an overland transfer to Luxor for the Theban sites, and a final leg to the Red Sea before returning to Cairo for departure. Each segment is distinct in character yet part of a coherent narrative of Egyptian civilisation.

Tour Highlights

Stand before the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple at the Giza Plateau, among the most recognized monuments on earth.

Explore the vast Karnak Temple complex and Luxor Temple on the East Bank of the Nile, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.

Cruise by felucca around Elephantine Island in Aswan and visit the Philae Temple, built in honour of the goddess Isis on an island in the Nile.

Visit the twin rock-cut temples of Abu Simbel, carved under Ramses II and relocated stone by stone in one of UNESCO's most celebrated preservation projects.

Descend into the Valley of the Kings on Luxor's West Bank, where over sixty royal tombs of the New Kingdom pharaohs were hewn from the desert rock.

Unwind on the sandy beaches of Hurghada along the Red Sea, with time to swim, relax, and enjoy the warm coastal climate before returning to Cairo.

Tour Old Cairo's Coptic quarter, the Saladin Citadel, the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and the historic lanes of Khan el-Khalili Bazaar on the final city day.
