10 Days Egypt Tour Package with Nile Cruise
This 10 Days Egypt Tour Package brings together Egypt’s main ancient sights, a 3-night Nile Cruise and time to rest on the Red Sea coast. The tour begins in Cairo, where you visit the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx with a guide, followed by a Cairo museum visit. You then travel south to Abu Simbel and continue by river through the temples and towns of Upper Egypt, ending with three nights in Hurghada.
The Pyramids of Giza are the focus of your Cairo visit. Your guide explains how the pyramids were built, how the site was used and where to stand for clear views across the Giza plateau. The Sphinx is close by, carved from the bedrock with a lion’s body and a king’s head. There is time for photographs, along with a chance to look across the plateau and see how the monuments fit together.
A Cairo museum visit puts the outdoor sites into context. Inside, you can look closely at statues, jewellery, coffins and everyday objects from several periods of Egyptian history. The visit follows a guided pace rather than a rushed one, with explanations linking the collections to the places you visit later. Three nights in Cairo give you time to recover from travel and see the capital without packing and unpacking each day.
From Cairo, we arrange your onward journey to Upper Egypt and the 3-night Nile Cruise. The boat is your base as you travel between key river sites, with meals served on board and guided visits during shore stops. The exact order depends on the cruise schedule, but the route commonly includes temples around Luxor and Aswan. You see columns, reliefs and burial sites with a guide, then return to the boat between excursions.
Abu Simbel is a major stop on the southern itinerary. Ramesses II built its two rock-cut temples, which are known for the large seated statues at the entrance and detailed reliefs inside. Many schedules require an early start, so we arrange the transfer around the cruise plans and explain the timings in advance. The long journey leads to a site beyond the usual Luxor temple circuit.
After the cruise, we transfer you to Hurghada for three nights on the Red Sea. The pace becomes slower and more flexible. You can spend time by the coast, swim if conditions suit, or choose an optional boat, snorkelling or diving activity locally. Sea excursions depend on weather and sea conditions, so they are optional additions rather than fixed promises. Hurghada also gives you time to rest after the early starts and walking days in Upper Egypt.
Our team coordinates the accommodation, road transfers, cruise arrangements and sightseeing, so you do not have to manage separate bookings across several Egyptian destinations. A licensed Egyptologist guide leads the main visits, and transport is arranged between each part of the trip. The package suits travellers who want a broad first visit to Egypt and are comfortable with warm weather, early starts, uneven ground at some archaeological sites and several longer transfers. It may feel too active for anyone seeking a beach-only holiday, although the final three nights allow time to slow down.
Bring comfortable walking shoes, light clothing, sun protection and a refillable water bottle. For Abu Simbel and other early excursions, keep essentials in a small day bag; our team explains the luggage arrangements and collection details before each transfer.

Your Itinerary
Our team meets you on arrival at Cairo International Airport and helps with the first practical steps of your holiday, including the transfer to your hotel. After check-in, the rest of the day is free for rest after your journey. Depending on your arrival time, you may have a quiet evening near the hotel or take a short walk with your guide’s advice.
This first night gives you time to settle in before sightseeing begins. Your guide reviews the schedule, confirms the next day’s arrangements and answers questions about clothing, local customs and the pace of the visits. Keep your passport and essential medication with you during transfers, and allow time for traffic when moving around the city.
After breakfast, you travel to the Giza Plateau for the main ancient sights. The Pyramids of Giza are the focus of the visit, with time to see their scale from the plateau and hear how the royal tombs were planned and built. Your guide explains the differences between the pyramids and points out useful viewpoints for photographs.
You then continue to the Sphinx, where the human-headed, lion-bodied statue sits beside the pyramid complex. The visit includes time to look across the site and learn about its symbolic role in ancient Egypt. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water and expect sun exposure on open ground. After sightseeing, we return you to Cairo for a free evening and a second night at the hotel.
Today is devoted to Cairo’s major ancient Egyptian collection. At the Cairo museum, your guide leads you through selected galleries rather than asking you to cover every room at once. You see statues, funerary objects, jewellery and objects connected with daily life, while the explanations help place each piece within Egypt’s long history.
The museum visit leaves room for a slower pace, with breaks as needed and time to ask questions about the objects that interest you most. Your guide will explain the day’s arrangements and any entry procedures before you go inside. The afternoon is free for rest or optional time in the city, depending on your energy and the final schedule. You spend your third night in Cairo before travelling south.
After breakfast, we arrange your transfer for the flight south to Aswan. On arrival, our team meets you and takes you to the vessel for embarkation. Once settled in, you can become familiar with the cabin, dining areas and upper deck before the sightseeing programme begins.
The first afternoon introduces Aswan’s setting beside the river, with time for the planned visit or a relaxed period on board according to the cruise schedule. The slower pace is part of the experience: meals are served on the vessel, and you can watch the riverbank change as the boat prepares for its sailing programme. Keep your day bag ready for excursions, since boarding arrangements and visit times can vary with navigation and local access.
An early start takes you towards Abu Simbel, where the rock-cut temples of Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari form the day’s main visit. Your guide explains the temple façades, the large seated figures and the interior chambers, including the religious scenes carved into the walls. The site is south of Aswan, so the road journey is a substantial part of the day and usually begins before the strongest heat.
After returning to Aswan, you have time to rest on board and enjoy the river setting. The vessel follows its scheduled sailing arrangements, and the crew provides information about meals, shore visits and any changes caused by navigation. Bring a hat, water and sun protection for the open site. You spend the night on board as the cruise continues north.
The boat continues its journey along the Nile, with the day shaped by scheduled shore visits and sailing time. Depending on the cruise programme, you may visit a riverside temple such as Kom Ombo or Edfu, where your guide explains the sanctuary layout, carved reliefs and the different deities worshipped there. Walkways can be uneven, so comfortable shoes are useful.
Between excursions, the upper deck gives you a calm place to watch farmland, villages and desert edges pass by. Lunch and other meals are taken on board according to the vessel’s schedule. Your guide will confirm the next landing and the time to return to the boat; staying with the group helps keep the cruise moving smoothly. This is the final night of the three-night sailing programme.
After breakfast, you disembark in Luxor and begin the day’s land sightseeing. The programme may include selected east- or west-bank monuments according to the cruise schedule, with your guide explaining how temples, tombs and royal ceremonies fitted into ancient Luxor. The visits involve walking over open archaeological ground, so carry water and keep a light layer available.
Later, our driver takes you by road towards Hurghada. The journey crosses the Eastern Desert and takes several hours, with a comfort stop arranged when appropriate. On arrival, you check in and have the evening to rest after the transfer. This change of setting moves the trip from ancient monuments to the coast, and the next three nights are based beside the Red Sea.
Today is left open for a relaxed Hurghada day. After breakfast, you can use the hotel facilities, rest by the pool or arrange an optional sea activity through the local team. Travellers who choose a boat outing should check the meeting details, expected duration and equipment arrangements before setting out, as sea conditions and operator schedules can affect the programme.
If you prefer to stay on land, the day works well for an easy meal, a short walk or quiet time at the hotel. Our team remains available to help with practical questions and transfers connected with any separately arranged activity. Keep valuables secure, use sun protection and drink water regularly. You return to the same accommodation for a second night in Hurghada.
Your final full day is free for more time at the coast. You may choose a gentle morning at the hotel, spend time on the beach or arrange a snorkelling or diving excursion if it suits your experience and the day’s conditions. Any marine activity should be booked with clear instructions about pickup, equipment, swimming ability and the return time.
There is no major overland transfer today, so you can set your own pace and keep the evening easy. Ask our team if you need help confirming a restaurant transfer or preparing for the following day’s departure. Pack any items you will need in your hand luggage before dinner, especially travel documents, medication and chargers. This is your third and final night in Hurghada.
After breakfast, you check out according to the hotel’s departure procedure. Our team arranges your transfer to the airport or the next agreed departure point, allowing practical time for the road journey and airport formalities. The exact transfer time depends on your flight details, so keep your passport, tickets and essential items accessible.
Before leaving the hotel, check the room and luggage carefully, including safe boxes, charging points and bathroom storage. If your departure is later in the day, luggage storage or additional waiting arrangements can be confirmed locally, subject to the hotel’s procedures. Your ten-day Egypt tour package ends with the transfer, while our team remains available for final coordination until you leave.
