5 Days Cairo and Luxor Tour Package
Two legendary cities, thousands of years of history, one unforgettable journey across ancient Egypt.
The 5 Days Cairo and Luxor Tour Package takes you on a carefully structured journey through Egypt's two most historically significant cities, combining monumental landmarks, royal tombs, and living culture across five days of private guided exploration.
Cairo offers an extraordinary concentration of ancient and Islamic heritage, from the plateau of Giza where three great pyramids stand to the labyrinthine lanes of Khan El Khalili. Luxor, often called the world's greatest open-air museum, presents the Valley of the Kings and the grand temple complexes that lined the Nile during the New Kingdom period.
This itinerary is rated easy in terms of physical difficulty, making it accessible to a wide range of travellers. A private guide accompanies you throughout, ensuring a coherent and informed experience at each site.
Tour Highlights
Stand before the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx on the Giza Plateau, among the most recognised structures in human history.
Explore the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, home to an unrivalled collection of pharaonic artefacts including treasures from Tutankhamun's tomb.
Descend into the Valley of the Kings in Luxor and walk through elaborately decorated tombs carved for the pharaohs of the New Kingdom.
Visit Karnak Temple, one of the largest religious complexes ever constructed, and the adjacent Luxor Temple along the Nile's east bank.
Discover the ancient capital of Memphis and the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, the earliest large-scale stone structures in the world.
Wander through Khan El Khalili, Cairo's historic bazaar quarter, where craftspeople and merchants have traded for centuries.
Travel between cities by direct flight, maximising your time at the sites rather than on the road.
Itinerary
Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, a ToursXplorer representative will greet you and escort you to your hotel for check-in. The remainder of the day is at your leisure to rest and prepare for the days ahead.
After breakfast, your private guide leads you to the Giza Plateau to visit the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus, followed by the Sphinx and the Valley Temple. A panorama stop provides sweeping views of all three pyramids before lunch at a local restaurant.
The afternoon continues to Saqqara, site of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, and then to Memphis, the ancient capital that served as the royal seat during Egypt's early dynastic period.
Morning begins at the Egyptian Museum, where collections spanning three millennia of pharaonic civilisation are housed. After lunch, the route continues to the Citadel of Salah El Din and the Mosque of Mohamed Ali, a prominent example of Ottoman architecture in Cairo.
The afternoon includes Coptic Cairo with visits to the Hanging Church, the Church of Abu Serga and the Church of St. Barbara, followed by an evening walk through the historic Khan El Khalili bazaar.
A transfer to Cairo Airport takes you to your direct flight to Luxor. On the west bank, the day covers the Valley of the Kings, the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut set against its natural rock amphitheatre, and the twin Colossi of Memnon.
The east bank visit includes Karnak Temple, with its famous Hypostyle Hall, and Luxor Temple before returning to your hotel.
After a final breakfast at your Cairo hotel, your private guide transfers you to Cairo International Airport to connect with your homeward flight. The 5 Days Cairo and Luxor Tour Package concludes upon arrival at the airport.
