Planning to visit Luxor? Then we have the perfect tour for you. Join us on this three-day, guided tour of Luxor and get the chance to discover the rich antiquity and stunning history of a city often referred to as the largest open-air museum in the world with an experienced Egyptologist as your tour guide.
The first two days of the itinerary involves seeing the most popular sights in Luxor, including the temple complex of Karnak, Valley of the Kings and the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. Also included is a visit to the Luxor Museum, home to a rich collection of artwork dedicated to pharaohs.
However, this tour brings you face to face with not so well-known but equally impressive sights in the city, like the temples of Hathor and Abydos. While Hathor has inscriptions referring to the famous Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and her son Ceasrion, Abydos is considered to be older than pyramids by some scholars.
Please note that accommodation is not included in he tour price. We can help you book rooms at an additional cost or you can book them yourself. For more details about the tour, please go through the itinerary below.
The “second day” the flight is SUPER early and you have to leave the hotel at 4 am.
That was not communicated anywhere and we didn’t arrive at the hotel u til after 11 pm the night before. It made the morning very difficult!
Also, it would be helpful if there was a place by the day noting if women needed to cover shoulders/knees or men knees. When I was packing and googling, it said that at Kom Ombo (and most of the temples) it was recommended to have shoulder and knees covered, but when we got there I was told we didn’t need it. I had a lot more pants packed then I needed and that would have been helpful to know when I actually needed to wear more conservative clothing or having my hair covered.
Overall the itinerary was good. We saw a lot and had a great guide!
We were on the Steinberger cruise ship - I would not recommend that one again. Very limited. We were on Thai ship with another group from Trafalgar that paid less for the tour and we had no extras. We allowed one drink at dinner and one bottle of water.. anything more we had to pay for. They didn’t have coffee/tea available throughout the day for free. It seemed like they were nickel and diming the guests. I have been on other River cruises and unlimited water, beverages at dinner, and feee coffee/tea throughout the day in the lounge was accessible.

Egypt. The land of the ancients. One of the early great civilizations of the world. There's just so much history to see and breathe here. Every nook, every cranny presents something new, the atmosphere rich with antiquity. A trip to this beautiful land is sure to leave you mesmerized and speechless, presenting a journey like no other. This private day excursion takes you to some of the key highlights around Cairo, one of the most happening cities in the country. Of course, pyramids are included!!
Pick Up
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo, Giza or Cairo International Airport then drive the downtown of Cairo where is The Egyptian Museum.
Visit the Egyptian Museum
You will start the tour by visiting the world- famous Egyptian Museum. The museum, spanning two floors, houses a vast 120,000 masterpieces from different eras and periods in Egyptian history. The most popular exhibits are that of treasures relating to the Pharaonic kings and queens, such as the child king Tutankhamen and the room of mummies. In the latter, visitors can learn more about mummification art in ancient Egypt.
Discover the Nile by Felucca " Optional "
After your visit to the Egyptian museum, you will have the chance to relax and float on a Felucca (small motor boat) on a trip along the longest river in the world. Here you can take time to absorb the panoramic views of the city in the summer breeze.
Stop for Lunch
Next we will take a break to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in a restaurant with wonderful views of the Nile. Drinks are not included.
Visit Pyramids & Sphinx
After lunch, we will cross the Nile and travel to Giza to the ancient pyramids, constructed in around 2560 BC. Renowned as one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, it will be hard not to stare in amazement on your arrival at the pyramids and ask: ‘How were they built? And why?’ Don’t worry – all of our guides are qualified Egyptologists and will be happy to guide you and answer all of your questions. There will be the option at this point in the tour to go inside one of the three ancient pyramids.
After that we will walk down to the edge of the plateau to King Kafra Valley where you can take your first glimpse of the Great Sphinx and its temple. The Great Sphinx of Giza is a mythological creature, formed of a human head and the body of a lion which standing at over 20 meters high 73 metres long is a magnificent sight to behold.
Shopping
Our final stop of about one hour will be for shopping. Here you will have the chance to buy authentic and traditional Egyptian souvenirs and gifts produced by local craftspeople. We will spend time at the Papyrus Institute, where you will be given a demonstration on how this famous paper is made and where you will also have the chance to purchase papyrus art. We will also visit a perfume shop, where you can shop for Arabian scents and beautifully decorated perfume bottles.
Drive Back
At the end of the day our guide will transfer you back to your hotel or to the airport to catch your flight.
The only thing I would change is that the first day - coming right after most people had taken trans-oceanic flights and still had jet lag - was too demanding (flying to Luxor, touring Karnak before checking into ship). It would have been better to have a lighter Day One to allow for rest and time zone adjustment, and do Karnak on the way back.
The all-women's tour group and the Tour Director were outstanding and hugely enhanced the experience.
Tipping became a constant irritant and would be better if Tour Director handled tips and Insight appropriately raised the package cost, to alleviate that daily chore (ensuring correct currency & denominations, ATM visits, etc.). PS - bring American dollars in small bills.
Overall, a fascinating country, knowledgeable and constantly helpful Tour Director, and a good balance of historic and current experiences. Aswan (and the Cataract Hotel) was a definite highlight, and don't pass on Abu Simbel. It is worth the cost; as is the Aswan boat tour of the Nile (two options worth doing).
This full-day guided tour of the Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara, and Memphis are for those who want to see the major highlights around Cairo in a short time. You will be picked up from your hotel in Cairo by your tour guide and driven to Giza to see the famous pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus.
Proceed to see the enigmatic Sphinx next before heading for the Pyramid of Djoser, the world's oldest major stone structure, in Sakkara. This pyramid was built during the reign of the Third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt 4,800 years ago.
Also, visit the Tombs of the Nobles in Sakkara and learn more about the daily life of ancient Egyptian noblemen. Enjoy your lunch at a local restaurant and transfer to the city of Memphis which was founded by King Mina and was the capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom.
Memphis remained the center of politics and culture in Egypt for over 3,000 years. See the famous statue of Ramses II and the Sphinx of Queen Hatshepsut in Memphis. We will drive you to the hotel after that.
Step into a storybook world where the wonders of ancient Egypt come to life. Wander through towering pyramids, puzzle over hieroglyphs in secret tombs, and cruise the Nile past temples rising from the riverbank. With expert guides at your side, Egypt’s legends unfold for curious minds of every age. But this journey isn’t just about what you see — it’s about what you share. Taste your way through a Cairo food tour, learn how local farmers are shaping the future, and sip mint tea in a Nubian home, swapping stories that span cultures and generations. From grand adventures to quiet, soul-stirring moments, this is Egypt — as experienced by families, together.
