5 days are still open — leaving one or two unplanned days is a good idea in Egypt.

Recommended for day 1

Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum

Cairo & Giza · Full day · about 7 hours · from $60

Do the plateau first while it is cool, and give the museum the afternoon rather than the last hour of the day.

Details

Giza Pyramids Half-Day Private Tour

Cairo & Giza · Half day · about 4 hours · from $55

A good half day if the Grand Egyptian Museum gets its own day. Choose an early start.

Details

Inside the Great Pyramid: Giza Private Tour

Cairo & Giza · About 5 hours · from $60

Worth it if the climb itself is the point. The chamber is empty; skip it if you dislike tight, warm spaces.

Details

Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur: The First Pyramids

Cairo & Giza · About 6 hours · from $45

Do this before Giza if you can: the Great Pyramid makes more sense once you have seen the attempts that came first.

Details

Luxor West Bank: Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut

Luxor · 5–6 hours · from $75

Stay in Luxor and start here at 8 am. It is the single best reason not to do Luxor as a day trip from the coast.

Details

Luxor East and West Bank Private Day Tour

Luxor · Full day · about 8 hours · from $75

The right way to see Luxor in a day, and far better than the long road trip from the Red Sea. Two mornings are better still.

Details

Luxor Hot Air Balloon at Sunrise

Luxor · About 1.5 hours including transfers · from $119

Book it for your first Luxor morning, so a weather cancellation still leaves you a second chance.

Details

Luxor Day Trip from Cairo by Flight

Luxor · Full day · about 12 hours · from $370

The best way to see Luxor from Cairo in one day, and still a long day. One night in Luxor is better.

Details

Abu Simbel Day Trip from Aswan

Abu Simbel · About 10 hours · from $115

Seven hours of road for the temples: worth it, but choose your departure time on purpose rather than by default.
