Day tour
Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum

- Short drives within Cairo and Giza
- At the sites
- Most of the 7 hours, split between the plateau and the museum
Starting priceUSD 60Half-day tour

- Most of the 5 hours at Giza, including the pyramid interior
Starting priceUSD 60Day tour

- At the sites
- About 2 hours in the museum, 1.5 hours in Coptic Cairo

- At the sites
- Most of the 6 hours across three sites
Starting priceUSD 45Half-day tour

6 Days in Egypt: Cairo and Luxor by Sleeper Train

- Two nights on the sleeper train between Cairo and Luxor
- At the sites
- Four full days of sightseeing
Starting priceUSD 1,075Multi-day tour
7 Days in Egypt: Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel by Sleeper Train

- At the sites
- Four full days of sightseeing
Starting priceUSD 975Multi-day tour
8 Days in Egypt: Cairo, Luxor and the Red Sea at Hurghada
The two road days are the price of ending at the sea. If you would rather fly home from Hurghada, ask: many airlines fly there directly, and the quote can end the trip on the coast.
- On the road
- One domestic flight and two long road days: about 3½ hours from Luxor to Hurghada and 5 from Hurghada to Cairo
- At the sites
- Two full days of sightseeing, then three free days by the sea
Starting priceUSD 1,175Multi-day tour

- Two domestic flights; short transfers
- At the sites
- Guided visits on days 2–7
Starting priceUSD 1,675Multi-day tour
10 Days in Egypt: the Pyramids, a Nile Cruise and Sharm el-Sheikh

- One night on the sleeper train, three nights sailing, and two domestic flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh
- At the sites
- Five days of sightseeing, then three free days by the sea
Starting priceUSD 1,675Day tour

- At the sites
- Most of the day in Cairo, between flights
Starting priceUSD 320Day tour

- At the sites
- Most of the middle of the day at Giza and the museum
Starting priceUSD 150Day tour

Starting priceUSD 360
