5-Day Cairo, Luxor, and Abu Simbel Tour Package by Air

From the Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Abu Simbel, five days across Egypt's most extraordinary landmarks.


This 5-day Egypt tour package connects Cairo, Luxor, and Abu Simbel in a single, well-paced itinerary designed for travelers who want depth without rushing. Guided by qualified Egyptologists, every site visit is supported by expert context and comfortable logistics throughout.

Egypt holds more UNESCO World Heritage Sites and ancient monuments per square kilometer than almost any other country on earth.

The tour is rated easy in difficulty, making it suitable for a wide range of travelers including those visiting Egypt for the first time. Each day is structured around two to three major sites, leaving room to absorb each location without fatigue.
