2 Days Cairo and Luxor Tour from Marsa Alam by Flight
Pyramids, pharaohs, and timeless temples across two legendary Egyptian cities
This 2-day Cairo and Luxor tour from Marsa Alam offers a rare opportunity to experience the defining monuments of ancient Egypt in a single, well-structured journey. Flights connect all three cities, keeping travel time efficient and the experience focused.
On day one, a private air-conditioned vehicle collects you from your hotel in Marsa Alam and transfers you to the airport for a flight to Cairo. An Egyptologist guide meets you on arrival and leads you through Giza, the Egyptian Museum, and the historic lanes of Khan El Khalili before an evening flight takes you to Luxor.
The second day is dedicated to Luxor's West Bank and its legendary temple complexes. From the colossal statues of Amenhotep III to the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings, each site offers a direct encounter with Egypt's pharaonic past. You return to Marsa Alam by private vehicle the same evening.
Accommodation is included at the five-star Sonesta St George Hotel in Luxor, providing a comfortable base between the two full days of exploration. Breakfast is provided, and lunches are served at local restaurants in both Cairo and Luxor.
Tour Highlights
Stand before the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus at the Giza Plateau, among the last surviving wonders of the ancient world.
Explore the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, home to over 250,000 artifacts including the treasures of Tutankhamen recovered from his sealed tomb.
Walk through Karnak Temple, the largest place of worship ever constructed, with its vast hypostyle hall and towering obelisks.
Visit three royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of the Nile, where pharaohs of the New Kingdom were buried in elaborate underground chambers.
Discover the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, dedicated to ancient Egypt's most prominent female ruler.
View the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Amenhotep III that have guarded the Theban necropolis for over three thousand years.
Browse Khan El Khalili in Islamic Cairo, a centuries-old bazaar where artisans and merchants continue traditions that predate modern Egypt.
