Itinerary

Your Easter Egypt tour in 9 days begins the moment you land in Cairo. From the airport, Tripidays takes care of every detail, smooth transfers, fast hotel check-in, and a warm welcome that lets you relax immediately.
Nile Dinner Cruise
As night falls, step aboard a magical Nile dinner cruise. Glide past illuminated landmarks while enjoying a rich buffet, live music, and traditional Egyptian performances. The Nile sparkles under the stars, creating the perfect first memory of your Easter Nile cruise experience in Egypt.

Meals
Dinner
After breakfast, your private Egyptologist guide picks you up and heads to the Giza Plateau, the starting point of every serious Egypt itinerary and still the one site that stops people in their tracks.
The Great Giza Pyramids
Stand face-to-face with the legendary Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world icons that have guarded Egypt’s secrets for over 4,500 years. This is the moment many travelers dream of when booking an Easter tour to Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan.
The Valley Temple
Enter the granite interior of the Valley Temple, and you'll find one of the oldest roofed structures still standing in Egypt. The walls are undecorated the power here is in the precision of the stonework, massive limestone blocks fitted without mortar to tolerances that still puzzle engineers.
The Sphinx
walks you to the front of the Sphinx so you face it directly — a 73-metre limestone figure carved from a single ridge of rock, its expression unchanged for 4,500 years. The relationship between the Sphinx and the Khafre pyramid behind it only becomes clear when you're standing in front of both.
Grand Egyptian Museum
Your guide leads you through the world's largest archaeological museum, opened beside the Giza Plateau specifically so the treasures never leave their context. The golden mask and throne of Tutankhamun anchor the collection, 5,000 years of Egyptian civilisation arranged across a building designed to move you through time.

Meals
Breakfast and Lunch
Breakfast at the hotel, then check out and transfer to Cairo Airport for your domestic flight to Luxor. The moment you land, the pace shifts. Luxor moves differently from Cairo, and your guide is already waiting to make the most of the afternoon.
Karnak Temple
You'll enter through the Avenue of Sphinxes and keep walking. Karnak is so vast that first-time visitors consistently underestimate it. Your guide traces 2,000 years of construction across the complex, from the Hypostyle Hall's 134 towering columns to the Sacred Lake at the far end.
Luxor Temple
As the sun drops, your guide brings you to Luxor Temple while the stone is still warm from the day. The Avenue of Sphinxes leading to the entrance, the colossal statues of Ramses II, and the inner sanctuary lit against the darkening sky make this the strongest visual moment of the entire Luxor stay.
Board your Nile Cruise
Check into your cabin and settle in as the cruise prepares to depart. The Nile moves slowly south from Luxor toward Aswan, and your home for the next four nights floats with it.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Breakfast on board as the cruise moors on the West Bank. Your guide crosses with you into the necropolis the side of the Nile where ancient Egyptians placed everything they wanted to last forever.
Valley of the Kings
You'll descend into tombs cut deep into the limestone hills, their walls still carrying vivid colour after 3,000 years. Your guide selects the tombs open that day and explains what you are seeing — not just the images, but the theology behind each scene on every wall.
Colossi of Memnon
The two seated figures of Amenhotep III rise 18 metres from the plain, with no temple behind them; the structure they once guarded has been gone for millennia. Stand between them and look back toward the Nile, and you see exactly the sight line the ancient Egyptians intended.
Hatshepsut Temple
Your guide walks you into the three-terraced temple carved into the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari the mortuary monument of Egypt's most successful female pharaoh. From the upper terrace, the contrast between the cream limestone cliff behind and the flat green valley below is something worth pausing to take in.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
The cruise sails south overnight. Breakfast on board as Edfu comes into view a morning of two temples that each tell a completely different story about how ancient Egyptians understood the world.
Edfu Temple
Your guide leads you through the towering pylon entrance into the best-preserved temple in Egypt, dedicated to Horus. Two thousand years of accumulated grime were stripped away in the 19th century to reveal reliefs so sharp and detailed they read almost as freshly carved.
Kom Ombo Temple
From the outside, it looks like one temple inside, your guide reveals it is two complete sanctuaries running side by side, one for Sobek, the crocodile god, one for Horus the Elder. The adjacent Crocodile Museum holds mummified crocodiles pulled from the Nile, a detail that tends to stay with visitors long after the temple itself fades. For a different structural approach to Egypt without a cruise, our 9-day Egypt overland itinerary covers Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Alexandria entirely by land.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Final breakfast on board and check out of the cruise in Aswan. Your guide takes you through the city's two landmark sites before transferring you to the airport for your afternoon flight back to Cairo.
Aswan High Dam
You'll cross the top of the dam on foot — 3.6 kilometres of concrete holding back Lake Nasser, the largest man-made reservoir on earth. Your guide sets the engineering in context: when it was completed in 1970, it displaced 90,000 people and saved Egypt from annual flood cycles that had shaped the country for 7,000 years.
Philae Temple
A short boat ride takes you to Agilkia Island, where the Temple of Isis was dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt on higher ground before the Aswan Dam flooded its original site. Your guide points out the waterline still visible on the lower columns, a physical record of how close the temple came to being lost permanently.

Meals
Breakfast and Lunch
Back in Cairo after yesterday's flight, your guide collects you after breakfast for the drive southwest into the desert. El Fayoum sits 90 kilometres from Cairo, close enough for a full day, different enough to feel like a separate world entirely.
Lake Qarun
Egypt's largest natural lake sits in the floor of the Fayoum depression, ringed by desert on three sides and farmland on the fourth. The water level and salinity have shifted over thousands of years — what you see today is a fraction of the ancient lake that once covered the entire basin.
El Fayoum water wheels
You'll find the water wheels still turning at the same points where they have stood for centuries, lifting irrigation water from the canals that make Fayoum one of Egypt's most fertile regions. The sound of the wooden wheels is something visitors remember as a mechanical rhythm unchanged since the Ptolemaic period.
El Fayoum Water Falls
The drive ends at a set of natural cascades hidden inside the desert landscape, an unexpected discovery in a region that already surprises most visitors. Your guide gives you time here to walk and take photographs before returning to Cairo.

Meals
Breakfast and Lunch
After days among pharaonic temples and Nile landscapes, Day 8 turns to a different layer of Cairo's history, the medieval Islamic city and the early Christian quarter that predates it. For visitors travelling at Easter specifically, Coptic Cairo carries particular resonance.
Cairo Citadel
Your guide takes you to the historic Citadel of Saladin, perched high on the Mokattam ridge above Cairo. Built in the 12th century as a fortress and royal stronghold, the citadel offers sweeping views across the city, making it one of Cairo's most impressive historic landmarks.
Mosque of Muhammad Ali
Standing prominently within the citadel complex, the Mosque of Muhammad Ali is famous for its elegant Ottoman architecture, soaring domes, and twin minarets.
Khan el-Khalili Bazaar
Cairo's great medieval market has operated continuously since 1382, and your guide walks you through its covered lanes at whatever pace suits you. The tea houses are genuine — locals use them — and pausing for mint tea or Turkish coffee in one of the older cafés is worth building into the morning.
The Hanging Church
Entering the heart of Old Cairo, you visit the Hanging Church, one of the oldest and most revered churches in Africa. Built above the ancient gatehouse of a Roman fortress, the church has welcomed worshippers for centuries.
Ben Ezra Synagogue
A short walk away, the Ben Ezra Synagogue reveals another chapter of Cairo's rich religious heritage.

Meals
Breakfast and Lunch
Enjoy your final breakfast before your guide transfers you to Cairo Airport. Check-out is arranged to give you a comfortable departure window with no rush. We ensure a smooth transfer to Cairo airport, leaving you with unforgettable memories of pyramids, temples, and the Nile.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tour includes a private Egyptologist guide for all 9 days, 4 nights in a 5-star Cairo hotel, 4 nights on a 5-star Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, domestic flights on both the Cairo to Luxor and Aswan to Cairo routes, entrance fees to every attraction in the itinerary, and all transfers by private air-conditioned vehicle. Breakfast is included daily, with lunch and dinner provided on board the cruise throughout Days 3 to 6.

This is the only 9-day Easter Egypt tour that includes Fayoum Oasis — a site with prehistoric whale fossils and natural lakes that no standard Easter package covers — combined with a 4-night Nile cruise and a dedicated Islamic and Coptic Cairo day. No other Easter-specific itinerary in Egypt pairs these three elements in a single 9-day trip. If you are weighing up seasonal options, browse our Egypt Christmas all-inclusive package for a comparison of how the same destinations are packaged for the festive period.

Fayoum Oasis is a natural depression 90 kilometres southwest of Cairo, home to Lake Qarun, Egypt's largest natural lake, ancient Sakia water wheels still in daily use, and natural waterfalls set inside desert terrain. It is included because it is the one site in the 9-day portfolio that no competitor Easter package visits, giving this tour a destination that is genuinely rare on the Egyptian tourism circuit. For travellers who want to explore Egypt beyond the standard sites at an affordable price point, our affordable Egypt Nile cruise holiday covers a comparable classic route without the Fayoum extension.

You board the 5-star cruise in Luxor on Day 3 after visiting Karnak and Luxor Temples, and sail south over four nights through Edfu and Kom Ombo to Aswan, disembarking on Day 6. All meals are included on board during the cruise days, and your private Egyptologist guide accompanies you for every shore excursion along the route. The cabin is your base for four consecutive nights — you unpack once, and the Nile does the travelling.

Yes. Two domestic flights are included: Cairo to Luxor on Day 3 at the start of the Nile cruise, and Aswan to Cairo on Day 6 after the cruise ends. No additional flight costs apply for these routes.
