Only on this route
Most luxury Nile cruise tours skip three full beach days — cruise schedules prioritize river travel. This tour instead spends Days 6–8 at a Red Sea resort in Hurghada.
Arc I · Cairo to Giza
Cairo evenings give way to pyramids and museum treasures
Your Tripidays representative meets you at Cairo International Airport and transfers you by private vehicle to your 5-star hotel, no queues, no shared transport, and no waiting. This is the standard your 10-day luxury private Egypt tour and Hurghada package holds from the first moment you land.
Your guide arranges a gourmet dinner aboard a private vessel gliding along the Nile, with live traditional music and Cairo's illuminated skyline on both banks. It is the quietest and most disorienting version of Cairo you will see the city at full noise, but you are watching it from the water. To see the full range of available private luxury options, browse all premium 10-day Egypt tour packages.
