Egypt 7-Day Cairo, Luxor, Aswan & Red Sea Tour

Begin with the Giza Pyramids Complex, where your guide explains how the pyramids were planned, built and used as royal tombs. You have time to walk around the main viewpoints and take photographs before continuing to the Great Sphinx. The Sphinx sits beside the pyramid field, and your guide explains the symbolism of its human head and lion's body while pointing out details that are easy to miss from a distance.

After lunch, visit Cairo's Egyptian Museum to see galleries filled with statues, jewellery, coffins and objects from several periods of ancient Egyptian history. Your guide helps you focus on the most important collections rather than trying to cover every room. Return to the hotel after the museum, with the evening free for rest or an optional meal. Wear comfortable shoes and carry water, as the pyramid area involves walking over uneven ground.

Travel by road to Alexandria for a full-day excursion on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. The drive takes several hours each way, so the day starts early and includes time for a rest stop. In the city, visit Alexandria's Landmarks, which may include the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina area, the Corniche and historic sites selected according to the day's access and timing. Your guide places the city within its Greek, Roman and later Egyptian history.

Continue through central Alexandria and pause for lunch at a local restaurant, with seafood and other Egyptian dishes commonly available. The visit gives you a different view of Egypt: open sea, broad streets and a port city shaped by many cultures. After sightseeing, return to Cairo by road. Keep the evening quiet, since the following morning involves an early transfer to the airport and a flight south to Aswan.

Transfer to Cairo airport for the flight to Aswan, then continue to the Aswan High Dam. Your guide explains how the dam changed the Nile's flow, created Lake Nasser and affected settlements and ancient sites in southern Egypt. Next, take a short boat ride to the Philae Temple Sanctuary on Agilkia Island. The temple complex is dedicated mainly to Isis, and the island setting makes the approach part of the visit.

Continue to the Abu Simbel Rock Temples, usually by an early road transfer or according to the confirmed transport plan. The journey across the desert takes several hours, but the reward is time to study the enormous façades and interior reliefs of the temples of Ramses II and Nefertari. After the visit, return to Aswan or continue by the arranged route, depending on the day's transport schedule. Bring sun protection and water for the outdoor sections.

Travel from Aswan to Luxor by the arranged road transfer, following the Nile Valley through agricultural villages and desert edges. The journey takes several hours, and your guide explains the route and planned stops. On arrival in Luxor, begin with the Valley of the Kings Necropolis on the West Bank. Enter the open tombs included in the day's visit and look closely at the painted scenes, hieroglyphs and burial passages carved into the cliffs.

After a break for lunch, cross to the East Bank for the Karnak Temple Complex. Walk through its gateways and courts, then see the Great Hypostyle Hall with its towering columns. Your guide explains how the complex grew over many centuries and how different pharaohs added to it. Check in at your Luxor accommodation after sightseeing and keep the evening free. The order may change slightly to suit road conditions or site opening arrangements.

Leave Luxor after breakfast for the Red Sea Coastline, travelling east across the desert. The road journey takes several hours, with a planned stop when appropriate. As the landscape changes from the Nile Valley to open desert and coastal mountains, your guide explains the route and the practical arrangements for arrival. On reaching the resort area, check in and settle into your room.

The afternoon is for rest beside the sea or a gentle walk along the shore. Travellers who want more activity can ask about locally available swimming, snorkelling or boat excursions, subject to conditions and separate arrangements. Take care on hot sand and use sun protection, even when the air feels comfortable. This night is designed as a slower pause after several sightseeing days, with free time for a relaxed dinner and an early rest before departure.

Enjoy a final morning at the Red Sea before check-out. Depending on your departure time, you may have breakfast at the hotel, sit by the water or take a short walk along the resort area. Keep your passport, luggage and travel documents ready, and confirm the collection arrangements with our team before leaving your room.

We transfer you to the airport or onward departure point according to your confirmed travel plan. The drive time depends on the airport and the location of your accommodation, so we allow a sensible margin for road traffic and airport procedures. If your flight is later in the day, luggage storage and extra beach time may be possible through the accommodation, subject to its arrangements. Your seven-day Egypt tour ends with the transfer, leaving you ready for your journey home.
