Egypt 14-Day Tour Package: Cairo, Aswan, Luxor & Hurghada

After breakfast, we drive to the Giza Plateau for your first full day of sightseeing. Your guide explains the layout of the site as you walk around the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure. You also see the Sphinx and hear how the plateau was planned as a royal burial ground. Time is allowed for photographs and for walking between the main viewpoints.

We then continue to the Cairo museum, where galleries hold statues, coffins, jewellery and everyday objects from several periods of ancient Egyptian history. Your guide helps place the exhibits in context rather than rushing through every room. The order of visits may change slightly with traffic and museum access, but the day includes a comfortable lunch break and a return to your hotel in the afternoon or early evening.

• Visit the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
• Guided visit to the Cairo museum
• Lunch break and return transfer

After breakfast, we transfer you to Cairo airport for the connection to Aswan. The journey is arranged according to the available domestic schedule, and our team assists with the airport process before you continue south. On arrival, you are met and driven to your Aswan hotel for check-in.

The afternoon is free to take in the slower pace of the city beside the Nile. You may sit by the river, walk along the Corniche or rest at the hotel after the travel day. No long sightseeing programme is planned, which leaves you ready for the early start to Abu Simbel tomorrow. Your guide confirms the next day’s road transfer and the practical arrangements before you settle in for the night.

• Transfer from your Cairo hotel to the airport
• Domestic connection to Aswan
• Aswan hotel check-in and relaxed afternoon

We leave Aswan early for the road journey to Abu Simbel. The drive crosses the desert south of the city, so you should bring water, sun protection and a light layer for the vehicle. On arrival, you walk towards the two rock-cut temples built by Ramesses II on the western bank of Lake Nasser.

Inside the larger temple, your guide points out the colossal figures at the entrance, the decorated halls and the sanctuary at the rear. The smaller temple honours Queen Nefertari and gives the visit a different scale and atmosphere. After time to explore both monuments, we return to Aswan by road. The excursion takes much of the day, but the long transfer is the practical way to reach this remote site without changing hotels.

• Early road transfer from Aswan to Abu Simbel
• Guided visit to both temples
• Return to Aswan for your second night

After breakfast, we visit Phiala temple, also written as Philae Temple, on an island in the reservoir near Aswan. A short boat ride carries you across the water, and your guide explains how the temple was moved to higher ground during the construction of the Aswan High Dam. The courtyards, reliefs and columned halls show the long use of the sanctuary and its links with Isis.

After the visit, we collect your luggage and begin the transfer north to Luxor by road. The journey takes several hours, with a rest stop arranged along the way. On arrival, we check you into your Luxor hotel and leave the evening open. You can have dinner near the hotel or rest beside the Nile before the next day’s temple visit.

• Boat transfer to Phiala temple
• Guided sightseeing in the morning
• Road transfer from Aswan to Luxor

Today begins with Karnak, the largest temple complex in Luxor. We enter through the approach to the precinct and walk with your guide towards the Great Hypostyle Hall, where tall columns carry traces of painted decoration. The route continues through courtyards, gateways and the sacred lake, with explanations of how different pharaohs added to the complex over many centuries.

After a break for lunch, you have time to rest before a quieter afternoon in Luxor. Depending on the day’s conditions and opening arrangements, we may include a walk near the Corniche or allow free time at the hotel. The programme is paced for walking, but the temple ground is uneven in places, so comfortable shoes, water and a hat are useful.

• Morning guided visit to Karnak
• Lunch and midday rest
• Free time beside the Nile or at the hotel

We cross the Nile after breakfast for a full day on Luxor’s West Bank. Our first main stop is the Valley of the Kings, where you enter the tombs included with your visit and walk down decorated passages cut into the desert hillside. Your guide explains the burial customs and points out scenes that remain visible on the walls. Tomb access can vary, so the exact selection is confirmed locally.

We then continue to Hatshepsut temple at Deir el-Bahari. Its broad terraces rise against the cliffs, and the surviving reliefs describe the queen’s reign and her trading expedition to Punt. There is time for photographs and a short rest before returning across the river. The ground is exposed, with limited shade, so carry water and expect several periods of walking.

• Crossing to Luxor’s West Bank
• Visit to the Valley of the Kings
• Visit to Hatshepsut temple and return to the hotel

After breakfast, we check out and begin the road transfer from Luxor to Hurghada. The route leaves the Nile Valley and crosses the Eastern Desert before reaching the Red Sea coast. The journey takes several hours, and our driver arranges a suitable stop so you can stretch your legs and buy refreshments.

On arrival in Hurghada, we complete the hotel check-in and explain the arrangements for your beach stay. The rest of the day is free rather than scheduled around another monument. You can use the hotel facilities, walk along the seafront or simply rest after the transfer. If you plan to swim, follow the local beach and sea-safety guidance, as conditions can change and access varies between hotels.

• Check-out from your Luxor hotel
• Road transfer through the Eastern Desert
• Hurghada check-in and free afternoon

Your first full day on the coast is left flexible so you can settle into the rhythm of Hurghada. After breakfast, you may spend time by the pool or on the beach, then walk along the promenade when the temperature is more comfortable. Our team remains available to help with practical questions about local restaurants, beach access and optional activities.

The Red Sea is the setting for the next part of the holiday, but water activities depend on local conditions and the arrangements available for the day. If you choose an optional snorkelling or boat outing, the provider gives the safety briefing and equipment instructions before departure. Otherwise, keep the day simple and enjoy the hotel at your own pace.

• Free day in Hurghada
• Time for beach, pool or a coastal walk
• Optional sea activity arranged separately if desired

Today is an unhurried day in Hurghada. You can have breakfast at the hotel, choose a quiet place by the water and plan your time around the heat rather than a fixed sightseeing schedule. The town has cafés, shops and restaurants, while many travellers prefer to stay close to the hotel and make use of its facilities.

If you want to spend time in the sea, ask the local team about safe entry points and the day’s conditions before setting out. Snorkelling equipment, boat trips and other activities are usually handled by separate providers and may require advance confirmation. For a quieter option, take a short walk in the early evening and return to the hotel for dinner.

• Flexible leisure day in Hurghada
• Optional local activities subject to arrangements
• Evening free for dining or a seafront walk

There is no long transfer or scheduled monument visit today. Enjoy a late breakfast if you wish, then choose between the pool, the beach and the hotel’s shaded areas. Keeping the schedule open gives you room to repeat an activity you enjoyed earlier or take a proper break after the cultural touring in Cairo, Aswan and Luxor.

Our team can help with directions and general arrangements, but you should confirm any optional excursion details before leaving the hotel. Bring sun protection, secure your valuables and keep enough water with you when walking outside. In the evening, Hurghada’s main streets and waterfront provide simple options for a meal before another night on the coast.

• Unscheduled day for rest and recreation
• Optional beach or pool time
• Local evening free for dinner

Use today to enjoy Hurghada without the pressure of a timetable. The morning is a good time for a swim or a walk before the strongest heat, while the afternoon can be spent resting indoors or beside the pool. Families and travellers who prefer a slower pace can keep the whole day at the hotel.

For a planned sea outing, check the meeting point, expected duration and return arrangements before booking. Boat routes and activities are set locally, and sea conditions can affect the programme. If you stay on land, you can visit nearby shops, have a relaxed lunch or read by the water. We can help with practical guidance so that your final days remain easy to manage.

• Leisure time on the Hurghada coast
• Optional sea excursion arranged locally
• Free afternoon and evening

This is your last full day in Hurghada, so keep it flexible and choose the activities that suit you best. You may return to the beach, spend time at the pool or take a final walk along the waterfront. If you have booked an optional activity, allow enough time to return, collect your belongings and prepare for tomorrow’s departure.

In the evening, check your travel documents and confirm the airport transfer details with our team. Pack a small hand bag with essentials for the journey and keep medication, valuables and passports with you. A relaxed final dinner near the hotel gives you a convenient end to the stay without adding another long trip.

• Final full day on the Red Sea coast
• Time for a last swim or local walk
• Departure briefing and packing assistance

After breakfast, you check out according to your departure arrangements. Our team confirms the transfer from your hotel to Hurghada airport and allows time for the drive, luggage handling and airport procedures. The exact collection time depends on your flight details, so keep your phone available and follow the instructions provided the evening before.

Before leaving the hotel, check the room carefully for passports, chargers and personal items. At the airport, we assist with the transfer process where needed, then your Egypt tour comes to an end. Travellers with later flights may have some free time before pickup, subject to the hotel’s check-out policy and luggage storage arrangements.
