Itinerary

  • Day 1: Cairo Arrival and Budget Tour Start

    Welcome to Egypt and the start of your unforgettable Budget tour. Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, you’ll be warmly greeted by our Tripidays representative and transferred in a private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel in Cairo. After check-in and time to settle in, the evening begins on the Nile.

    Nile Dinner Cruise

    You'll board a lit river vessel as Cairo's skyline reflects across the water below, a relaxed first evening on your 7 day budget Egypt tour. The cruise runs approximately 2 hours along the central Nile corridor, giving you a ground-level orientation of the city before the sightseeing begins.


    Meals

    Dinner

  • Day 2: Giza, GEM, and Flight to Luxor

    Your guide picks you up after breakfast for a full day at the Giza Plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then transfers you to Cairo Airport for the afternoon domestic flight to Luxor. Two world-class sites in the morning and early afternoon, then a 7-day budget Egypt tour flight south, no wasted hotel night in between.

    The Great Pyramids of Giza 

    Your day begins at the legendary Great Pyramids of Giza, where towering stone monuments tell stories older than time. With your expert guide, uncover how these ancient marvels were built, proof that a cheap tour can still deliver world-class sights.

    Valley of the Khafre Temples

    You'll step into one of Egypt's best-preserved Old Kingdom temples, where granite walls align with astronomical precision to the pyramid above. The interior is quiet and unlit in sections, giving you a direct sense of how ritual space was designed to feel.

    The Great Sphinx 

    Your guide walks you to the viewing terrace directly in front of the Sphinx's paws, where the proportional relationship between the statue and the Khafre pyramid behind it becomes clear. The Sphinx was carved from a single limestone outcrop, with the head representing Khafre himself.

    meal

    Lunch

    Enjoy a tasty local lunch, simple, authentic, and easy on the budget.

    Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

    Your guide leads you into the Grand Gallery, where a 10-metre-tall statue of Ramesses II greets you on the staircase before you reach the complete Tutankhamun collection — over 5,000 objects displayed together for the first time since the tomb was sealed in 1323 BCE. The museum sits 2 kilometres from the Giza Pyramids and is the largest archaeological museum ever built.


    Meals

    Breakfast and Lunch 

  • Day 3: Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs

    Your guide collects you from the hotel after breakfast for the West Bank crossing. This is a full day inside Luxor's ancient burial landscape on your affordable Cairo, Luxor, Alexandria tour.

    Valley of the Kings

    Your guide leads you through the entrance corridor of three royal tombs selected for their preserved ceiling paintings; the detail runs uninterrupted from floor to ceiling across chambers that extend more than 100 metres into the rock. Entry to Tutankhamun's tomb is ticketed separately if you want to see it.

    Hatshepsut Temple

    Look up from the lower terrace and you'll see how the three-level colonnaded structure was cut directly into the cliff face, a scale that only registers when you're standing at ground level. Hatshepsut reigned for around 20 years in the 15th century BCE and her likeness was systematically defaced after her death.

    Colossi of Memnon

    You'll walk to within a few metres of two 18-metre seated figures of Amenhotep III, now isolated in open farmland after the mortuary temple behind them was dismantled for stone. For centuries, ancient tourists carved graffiti on the northern statue to record the eerie sound it made at dawn.


    Meals

    Breakfast and Lunch 

  • Day 4: Discover Luxor East Bank

    Your guide collects you after breakfast for the East Bank, Luxor's two great standing temples accessible on foot or by short drive along the Corniche.

    Karnak Temple

    Enter the Hypostyle Hall, and you'll find yourself inside a forest of 134 sandstone columns, the tallest reaching 23 metres, densely carved with reliefs that took multiple pharaohs across 200 years to complete.

    Luxor Temple

    From the outside, the first pylon's 24-metre towers frame the single remaining obelisk of a pair originally erected by Ramesses II; the second stands today in Place de la Concorde in Paris.


    Meals

    Breakfast and Lunch 

  • Day 5: Cairo Return and Islamic Quarter

    An early morning flight brings you back from Luxor to Cairo. Your guide meets you at the arrivals hall, and the day runs straight into sightseeing without a dead afternoon, the kind of itinerary efficiency that makes this cheap Egypt tour package worth the cost.

    Egyptian Museum Tour

    Your guide steers you through the ground floor's monumental statuary and into the Tutankhamun galleries on the upper floor, where the golden mask and throne are displayed in cases less than an arm's length away. The museum holds over 120,000 objects, most of which have never travelled outside Egypt.

    Salah El-Din Citadel

    You'll enter through the Bab El-Azab gate and look north across the full Cairo skyline from a medieval fortification that controlled the city for 700 years. The Citadel was the seat of Egyptian power from Saladin's construction in 1176 until Khedive Ismail moved the government to the new city in the 19th century.

    Mohamed Ali Mosque

    Step inside and look up: the central dome rises 52 metres above the prayer floor, ringed by smaller semi-domes and alabaster walls that diffuse the interior light. The Ottoman-style clock tower in the courtyard was a gift from French King Louis-Philippe, sent in exchange for the Luxor obelisk.

    Al Muizz Street

    Walk the length of this pedestrianized medieval spine and your guide will name the structures as you pass: the Madrasa and Mausoleum of Sultan Barquq, the Sabil-Kuttab of Qaytbay, the Qalawun complex, a sequence of Islamic architecture spanning 600 years within a single kilometre.

    Khan El Khalili 

    End the day at Khan El Khalili Bazaar, perfect for affordable souvenirs and authentic local vibes. 


    Meals

    Breakfast and Lunch 

  • Day 6: Alexandria Adventure

    Your guide picks you up from the Cairo hotel after breakfast for the road journey to Alexandria, approximately two to two-and-a-half hours along the desert highway. Alexandria runs as a full-day trip, returning to Cairo in the evening.

    Catacombs of Kom El-Shokafa

    Descend three levels below street level into the largest Roman-era funerary complex ever found in Egypt, where the burial niches blend pharaonic, Greek, and Roman carved motifs on the same wall panels.

    Graeco-Roman Museum  

    Your guide walks you through galleries displaying finds from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, including portrait mummies, carved Ptolemaic heads, and a Hadrianic-era mosaic floor.

    Bibliotheca Alexandria

    Enter the main reading hall and look up at the sloped glass ceiling, which admits natural light onto eleven terraced reading levels containing over eight million volumes.

    Roman Amphitheatre

    You'll walk down into the excavated Kom El-Dikka theatre, the only Roman-era amphitheatre found intact in Egypt, where thirteen rows of white marble seating survive around a central performance floor.


    Meals

    Breakfast and Lunch 

  • Day 7: Departure

    After the final breakfast, your Tripidays representative transfers you to Cairo International Airport for your departure flight.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tour includes accommodation in Cairo and Luxor, domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor in both directions, a private Egyptologist guide throughout, entrance fees to all 16 attractions in the itinerary, including the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Egyptian Museum, daily breakfast, selected lunches, and all private transfers. International flights, visa, and tips are not included. 

This is the only 7-day budget package covering all three cities, Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria — with domestic flights, a private guide, and all entrance fees included at a price point no comparable itinerary matches. For a wider range of overland routes covering similar geography, see the 7 day classic Egypt grand overland.

You’ll explore Egypt’s most iconic landmarks, including:

  • Great Pyramids of Giza & Great Sphinx
  • Saqqara Step Pyramid
  • Valley of the Kings & Karnak Temple
  • Egyptian Museum & Salah El-Din Citadel
  • Alexandria Library & Catacombs of Kom El-Shokafa

All are included as part of your affordable Egypt package for 1 week.

Alexandria adds a completely different layer to the tour, Greco-Roman and Mediterranean rather than pharaonic, covering the Catacombs of Kom El-Shokafa, the Graeco-Roman Museum, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and the Roman Amphitheatre in a single efficient day trip from Cairo. No other budget-positioned 7-day package in this portfolio includes Alexandria alongside both Cairo and Luxor. 

Domestic flights cover both legs between Cairo and Luxor, outbound on Day 2 and return on Day 5 — while Alexandria is visited as a road day trip from Cairo, approximately two to two-and-a-half hours each way. All intercity movement uses private air-conditioned vehicles, or the included domestic flights; there are no overnight bus legs.
