Step into the ancient world of Egypt and discover the Great Pyramids. Experience the captivating chaos of Cairo, spend 3 nights gently floating down the river Nile in a traditional river cruise boat and have the chance to embark on a Red Sea cruise. A trip to Egypt with Contiki will ensure you have a trip to remember.
This trip is perfect if you want to really smash out Europe, safely experience Egypt and if you haven’t travelled much. We got to see so many amazing places and now I have a great idea of where I would go back to. Yes it is very fast paced and you wont do everything you want to but you do 95% of the main attractions of each place and you have people to share the experiences with. You will 100% make friends on these trips if you solo traveler :)

At 7:00 am you are picked-up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor by our guide and transferred to Abydos city by private A/C vehicle.
Abydos city is about 420 km to the south of Cairo in Sohag Government, and 135 km from Luxor. We drive north from Luxor for a day to see two of the most complete temples in Egypt.
We arrive in Abydos and start the day tour discovering the ancient sites. First we visit the Abydos Temple, dedicated to the Ancient Egyptian god of the underworld. The paintings of the Gods and Pharaohs on the walls of the Osiris Temple at Abydos are among the most beautifully preserved in Egypt.
Then we continue to visit the Temple of Hathor - goddess of love and joy. The temple is located in Dendara, which is 135 km north of Luxor.
Temple of Hathor at Dendara may be the best preserved in Egypt with full color still visible on its walls. The ancient Egyptians believed that the Lord of the underworld is buried there. The temple was built by King Seti I, and completed by King Ramsess II, known as temple of Seti I.
At the end of the Tour around 17:00 pm transfer back to the hotel in Luxor .
The performance of Al Tannoura Egyptian Heritage Dance Troupe at Wekalet El Ghoury starts At 18:00 pm.
We pick you up from your hotel by our representative and transfer you to The Al-Tannoura show that takes place at Wekalet El Ghoury every Saturday, Monday and Wednesday.
Wekalet El Ghouri is an architecturally stunning arts center in El Azhar area in Central Cairo, operating under the Ministry of Culture and the Cultural Development Fund (CDF).
Since finalizing restorations to the Wekalet in October 2005, it has become a hot-spot for organizing cultural events. The most popular being the bi-weekly El Tannoura dance performance.
The performance is similar to the more commonly known whirling dervishes; however this version of the indigenous dance incorporates instruments and other additional elements.
After the show is finished we transfer you back to your hotel.
Available only on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays.
Our half day tour to Giza Pyramids by Camel starts with pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Then you will be transferred to Giza Pyramids in a private limousine or van.
Upon your arrival to Giza Pyramids, you get on the camel and start your tour to Giza Pyramids and get back to the ancient history. You will be accompanied by an expert tour guide who will explain all historical points related to Giza Pyramids and sites around.
Unlike most camel tours in Egypt you will have a very unique entrance to the desert that does not require you to travel through the busy streets full of cars and crowded with people.
Instead you will experience the pure untouched desert. You will see The Great Pyramids of Giza,The Sphinx and the Valley Temple. This tour gives you a different feel when visiting Giza Pyramids, you feel like you are taking a time machine that is taking you hundreds of years back.
All camels we deal with are kept in good condition and are very well looked after and you will be accompanied by a cameler who will stay the whole trip near you to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable trip.
Our camels spend years in training and will cater to all experience levels, also beginners and first-timers.
All our tours are private, whether you are one person or a large group, you will not be mixed with another groups. All tours are accompanied by one of our expert tour guides and a groom to ensure that you will have a pleasant time in the desert.
After the tour, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
This was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. The team was fantastic throughout the entire journey incredibly professional, easy to work with, and always willing to go the extra mile.
What truly stood out was their flexibility. Anytime we wanted to make adjustments or add something last-minute, they made it happen smoothly and without stress.
Their guides and drivers were not only extremely knowledgeable, but also warm, welcoming, and passionate about sharing their country’s rich history and culture.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking to explore Egypt in a meaningful, well-organized, and personalized way. A top-tier travel experience in every sense!
This itinerary was a great way to see all the highlights Egypt has to offer. Along with a fantastic Tour Director this is the perfect trip for anyone interested in the history. Part of the itinerary was a cruise on the Nile. The ship and crew were fantastic and it was easily one of my favorite parts. With daily stops and chances to bond with other Travellers it was so much fun.
This Trafalgar tour includes both ancient history and current day industry. It was very interesting to see how they make different items today in Egypt.
The food provided with the itinerary was great, options for everyone.
I highly recommend this itinerary.

Great itinerary. I saw what I wanted to see. A bit hectic for a few days, waking up very early to catch a flight to Aswan then wake up early again to drive to Abu Simbel. But has a morning rest on the 3rd day and then 2 days rest in Hurghada. It was too cold to do much water activities. Hurghada accomodation is great with free drinks. Really enjoyed the tour with great group and tour guides.
