Egypt Tours Package: 6 Days Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria
Pyramids, pharaohs, and ancient cities across the land of the Nile
This Egypt 6-day tour package is structured to cover the country's most significant historical and cultural landmarks in a logical, unhurried sequence. From the iconic monuments of Giza to the royal tombs of Luxor and the Greco-Roman heritage of Alexandria, each day builds on the last. Expert Egyptologist guides accompany you throughout, providing context that transforms sightseeing into genuine discovery.
The journey begins in Cairo, where the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza anchor the first full touring day. An overnight sleeper train connects you to Luxor, placing you on the West Bank by morning for a full day among the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the Memnon Colossi, and Karnak Temple. A short flight returns you to Cairo for a day exploring the layered history of Islamic and Coptic districts.
The optional fourth touring day extends the experience to Alexandria, Egypt's Mediterranean city, where catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, and the Qaitbay Citadel reveal a distinct chapter of the country's past. The itinerary balances logistics efficiently, using a mix of sleeper train, domestic flight, and air-conditioned road transfers to keep travel time manageable without sacrificing the depth of each destination.
