Day tour
Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum
Do the plateau first while it is cool, and give the museum the afternoon rather than the last hour of the day.

- 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

- At the sites

Starting priceUSD 60Half-day tour

Starting priceUSD 60Half-day tour

- At the sites
- About 2 hours in the museum, 1.5 hours in Coptic Cairo
Starting priceUSD 40Day tour
Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur: The First Pyramids
Do this before Giza if you can: the Great Pyramid makes more sense once you have seen the attempts that came first.

- Saqqara is about 25 km south of Cairo; short drives between the three sites
- At the sites
- Most of the 6 hours across three sites
Starting priceUSD 45Half-day tour

- At the sites
- About 4 hours, most of it walking
Starting priceUSD 30Multi-day tour
6 Days in Egypt: Cairo and Luxor by Sleeper Train
The sleeper train is what makes six days enough. If a night on a train is not for you, ask for domestic flights instead, and expect the quote to change.
- On the road
- 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

- Two nights on the sleeper train and one road day from Luxor to Aswan
- 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

- 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

- On the road
- 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
