Cairo Aswan Luxor Hurghada tour: Overview

Trip at a glance

This ten-day itinerary links Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada to present a concentrated view of Egypt’s ancient heritage together with a short coastal stay.

Over ten days you move through major archaeological complexes on both banks of the Nile, make a dedicated visit to the rock-cut temples at Abu Simbel, and finish with time on the Red Sea coast.

How the itinerary unfolds

The program is arranged as a sequence of focused day visits. The opening day is an arrival day with an evening programme. The second day concentrates on the Giza plateau and related Old Kingdom sites. Mid-trip you explore Aswan’s Nile-era landmarks and take a full-day visit to Abu Simbel.

A pair of days in Luxor covers both the east and west banks, and the final full days are spent on the Red Sea at Hurghada before a return visit to Cairo’s historic districts on the penultimate day and the trip conclusion on day ten.

Cairo and the Giza Plateau

Early in the week you will encounter the Giza Pyramids Complex, including the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx, together with the adjacent Valley Temple. The itinerary also names the Grand Egyptian Museum as a stop.
