Private 10-Day Egypt Tour

Pyramids, Nile Cruise and Hurghada from Cairo

A complete private journey through ancient monuments, Nile waterways, and Red Sea shores.


This private 10-day Egypt tour combines Cairo's iconic landmarks, a 5-star Nile River cruise, and a beach stay in Hurghada into one expertly guided itinerary. Every transfer, flight, and excursion is coordinated so you move through Egypt's highlights without logistical stress.

Starting at Cairo International Airport, you visit the Giza Pyramid complex and the Egyptian Museum before flying south to Aswan. From Aswan, a luxury Nile cruise carries you past Kom Ombo and Edfu before docking in Luxor, where the West Bank's royal tombs and temples await.

The journey concludes with a transfer to Hurghada, giving you time to relax beside the Red Sea or explore optional activities before a domestic flight returns you to Cairo for departure. The itinerary blends cultural immersion with genuine downtime, making it accessible for travellers of varying fitness levels.

Tour Highlights

Walk around the Giza Plateau and stand before the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple on a private guided visit.

Explore the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, including the Tutankhamun treasure collection spanning over 5,000 artefacts from the pharaonic period.

Cruise the Nile aboard a 5-star deluxe vessel, stopping at Kom Ombo, Edfu, and sailing through the Esna lock between Aswan and Luxor.

Visit Karnak and Luxor Temples on the East Bank, two of the most significant religious complexes in the ancient world.

Descend into the Valley of the Kings on Luxor's West Bank and view the decorated royal tombs alongside Hatshepsut's terraced mortuary temple.

Unwind in Hurghada with optional submarine tours, beach time, or city sightseeing along the Red Sea Riviera.

Optional day trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan to see the twin rock-cut temples of Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari relocated by UNESCO.
