The great Pyramids & Sphinx, beautiful Philae temple by boat, Nile felucca cruise, Pharaonic sites of Luxor's East and West Banks, back streets of the Khan-el-Khalili bazaar
Step into the land of pharaohs and pyramids with the 'Egypt Express'—an 8-day guided tour offering a whirlwind discovery of Egypt’s most iconic sites. Perfect for travelers short on time, this small group trip begins and ends in Cairo and covers the ancient wonders of the Nile Valley between Aswan and Luxor.
Tour the legendary Giza Pyramids and Sphinx before journeying overnight to Aswan, where you can cruise to the island temple of Philae or opt for an excursion to Abu Simbel. An overnight felucca sail on the Nile provides a unique and tranquil way to soak in the riverside landscapes, with a support boat ensuring comfort along the way. In Luxor, explore the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and Queen Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple.
The tour rounds out with the option to visit the Egyptian Museum, Citadel, and bustling Khan-el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo, or extend your stay with a Red Sea add-on. The USP of this tour package is its perfect blend of must-see sights and local experiences—such as a Nubian village stay and a peaceful felucca cruise—making it an ideal introduction to the magic of Egypt.
