Itinerary

Your Tripidays representative meets you at Cairo International Airport by name sign, handles your transfer to the hotel in Giza, and confirms your evening program. an organized arrival process designed to match the seamless experience found across all 10-day Egypt tour packages.

Nile Dinner Cruise
You'll board at sunset, when the city's bridges are lit, and both banks are reflecting light across the water. The scale of Cairo only becomes clear from the river; your guide points out landmarks on the east bank as the boat rounds each bend.

Meals
Dinner
Your Egyptologist picks you up after breakfast. The morning is at Giza, the afternoon at the Grand Egyptian Museum, two of the three most visited sites in Egypt, covered in a single day without rushing either.

The Pyramids of Giza
Visit the Great Pyramids of Giza, a timeless wonder that has captivated travelers for millennia. Let your guide unveil the secrets and stories hidden within these colossal structures.

The Sphinx
Next, stand in awe before the Great Sphinx, a majestic sentinel guarding the pyramids, whose silent gaze has inspired wonder and mystery for centuries.

Valley Temple of Khafre
Your guide walks you through the polished pink granite hall where Khafre's mummified body was ritually processed before burial. The ceiling is intact in sections, and the T-shaped light slits still fall exactly as designed 4,500 years ago.

Grand Egyptian Museum
After lunch, immerse yourself in history at the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, home to priceless artifacts from Egypt’s ancient civilization.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast and check-out, your transfer takes you to the airport for the flight to Aswan. Your Egyptologist meets you on arrival, and sightseeing begins immediately after boarding.

High Dam
You stand on the High Dam crest looking south across Lake Nasser, 550 kilometers of reservoir stretching into Sudan, created when the dam was completed in 1970. Your guide covers both the engineering achievement and the displacement of 100,000 Nubian people whose villages now sit under the water.

Philae Temple
A short motorboat crosses to Agilkia Island, where the Temple of Isis was dismantled block by block and rebuilt on higher ground to save it from the rising reservoir, one of the largest rescue operations in archaeological history. The carvings are unusually sharp because decades of submersion protected the stone from wind erosion.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
The cruise sails north from Aswan. Both temples are walkable from the riverbank mooring, no long transfers, no coaches.

Kom Ombo Temple
Explore the dual Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. Learn the fascinating stories behind this rare architectural duality.

Edfu Temple
Visit the magnificent Edfu Temple, one of Egypt’s best-preserved sites, dedicated to Horus. Wander its grand courtyards and admire intricate hieroglyphs that tell ancient tales.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
The cruise docks at Luxor overnight. The West Bank starts early before the day heats up.

Valley of the Kings
Your guide selects three open tombs on the day of your visit to the Valley of the Kings, marveling at the intricate wall art and ancient secrets preserved for millennia.

Hatshepsut Temples
Next, visit the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural marvel dedicated to one of Egypt’s remarkable female pharaohs. Its imposing cliffs and serene design are truly awe-inspiring.

Colossi of Memnon
Two 18-metre quartzite statues of Amenhotep III rise from an open flat plain with nothing around them for scale. Your vehicle pulls alongside, and the foot of each statue is taller than the roof of the car.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Final morning on the Nile cruise. Disembark after breakfast, take the East Bank tour, and then transfer to Luxor Airport.

Karnak Temple
Begin your day at the Karnak Temple complex, with its legendary Hypostyle Hall and remarkable architecture that reveals the grandeur of ancient Thebes

Temple of Luxor
Explore Luxor Temple, dedicated to Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, where majestic columns and ancient carvings transport you through time.

Meals
Breakfast
Your resort sits on the Gulf of Aqaba. The structure of Days 7 and 8 is deliberate: the primary program each day is the hotel beach and pool. Excursions are available to book alongside your free time; they do not replace it. For travellers who prefer a Red Sea resort on the Egyptian mainland with all-inclusive convenience rather than Sinai's rugged coastline, our Nile cruise and Hurghada all-inclusive alternative offers the same cruise route with a Hurghada resort finale instead.

Ras Mohamed National Park (Optional)
Depart at 09:00. The 35 km drive south reaches the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Aqaba and Gulf of Suez converge. Your first stop is the Shark Observatory, a short rocky climb to a platform with both gulfs visible simultaneously in opposite directions. Then the main beach for snorkeling is directly above the protected reef. The wall drops 80 meters in sections; fish density here is among the highest in the Red Sea. Back at the resort by 15:00.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Enjoy a peaceful morning at your leisure. Unwind on the beach, take a refreshing swim, sip a cool drink by the pool, or simply soak in the serene desert-meets-sea atmosphere of South Sinai. This relaxing free time allows you to recharge and enjoy Sharm El Sheikh at your own pace.

Colored Canyon Trip ( Optional)
Start at 5:30 AM with a jeep ride directly to the Colored Canyon, reaching it in about 2.5 hours. Begin your descent into the canyon, climbing down through the winding rock formations, then ascending on the opposite side, where your jeep will be waiting. On the return journey, stop in Nuweiba for a 1-hour lunch, then continue to Dahab for 1 hour of shopping.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
After breakfast and check-out, transfer to Sharm El Sheikh Airport for the morning flight to Cairo. Check into your Cairo hotel on arrival. No sightseeing is scheduled

Meals
Breakfast
After breakfast and check-out, your Tripidays representative transfers you to Cairo International Airport for your international flight home.

Departure
Board your flight, carrying unforgettable memories of your 10 day Egypt itinerary, beach, and culture. For travellers who want only the Nile cruise and Cairo section without a beach extension, our classic Nile cruise no beach round trip covers the same Luxor–Aswan waterway and temples, returning directly to Cairo at the end.

This tour includes 2 nights at a Giza hotel, 3 nights full-board on a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, 3 nights at a 5-star Sharm El Sheikh resort, 1 return night in Cairo, all 4 domestic flight legs, a private Egyptologist guide at every historical site, and entrance fees to all 13 sites in the itinerary. Optional excursions in Sharm El Sheikh are not included and are booked separately alongside your free beach days.

Most competitors on this tour assign your Sharm days as excursion days. This package structures Days 7 and 8 as genuine free beach time with optional add-ons available alongside, not instead of, your resort time.

The cruise runs for 3 nights from Aswan to Luxor and covers seven sites with your private Egyptologist: Aswan High Dam and Philae Temple on boarding day, Kom Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple while sailing north, then Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank, followed by Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple on the East Bank before departure to Sharm.
