  • Day 1

    Cairo Arrival & Settling In

    Plan to land at Cairo International Airport in the afternoon to avoid peak traffic times. Many hotels offer airport pickup service. A recent visitor noted "The company arranged hassle-free airport pickup even at 3 AM." Book your hotel near Tahrir Square to be close to the Egyptian Museum.

    
  • Day 2

    Giza Pyramids & Egyptian Museum

    Get to the Giza Plateau early at 8 AM before the crowds and heat roll in. You'll start at the pyramids when the morning light is perfect. According to a TourRadar traveler, "Watching the sun illuminate the pyramids in the morning light was breathtaking." After grabbing lunch at a local koshari restaurant head to the Egyptian Museum. Since the museum is huge focus on the Tutankhamun collection if you're short on time.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Aswan & Nile Cruise

    Travel to Aswan by overnight sleeper train (budget choice) or morning flight. The train takes about 15 hours and can be noisy so pack earplugs. Once in Aswan board your Nile cruise ship and visit Philae Temple on Agilkia Island. On day 4 you can join an optional early trip to Abu Simbel. Most visitors say the 3 AM wake-up is worth it. Later you'll sail to Kom Ombo Temple which uniquely honors two gods.

    
  • Day 5

    Edfu & Luxor

    Start with a visit to Edfu Temple one of the best-preserved ancient sites in Egypt. Continue sailing to Luxor arriving in late afternoon. Visit the huge Karnak Temple complex. One visitor suggests: "Go at sunset when the light makes the columns glow golden." End your day at Luxor Temple which looks beautiful lit up at night.

    
  • Day 6

    Valley of the Kings & More

    Head to Luxor's West Bank early. Consider a hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings if weather permits. Previous visitors called it "An unforgettable way to see the ancient landscape." Explore the Valley of the Kings but bring plenty of water and sun protection since shade is limited. Visit the Temple of Hatshepsut and Colossi of Memnon too.

    
  • Day 7

    Return to Cairo

    Choose between a morning flight or overnight train back to Cairo. Most visitors prefer flying to avoid the older train conditions especially with international connections to make. Tours typically end with airport transfers but you can add extra time in Cairo if you want.
