About this trip
Seven days across Egypt's biggest names, from the pyramids at Giza to the temples of Luxor and the Nile at Aswan, with a stop in Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast. It's a fully guided trip built for a group or family, so the sites get explained rather than just ticked off.
Expect a lot of ground covered — ancient Egypt in Cairo and Luxor, Nubian and dam history in Aswan, then a shift in tone to Alexandria's Greco-Roman past. You move between eras and cities quickly, but someone else is handling the logistics throughout.
What you'll do
- Giza Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, plus the new Grand Egyptian Museum
- Karnak and Luxor temples, the Colossi of Memnon and the Valley of the Kings
- Deir El Bahary and the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan
- Aswan High Dam and Philae Temple
- Alexandria's Bibliotheca, Qaitbay Citadel and the Roman-era Pompey's Pillar and Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa
- A packed sightseeing itinerary covering Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Alexandria in a week, so pace is quick
- Fully guided throughout, which suits families and those who'd rather not navigate independently
- Available as a custom or fixed group departure, including over Christmas and New Year
Worth it if you want hassle-free logistics and expert local guides in Egypt. Think twice if Aswan holds appeal beyond Abu Simbel.
- Mohamed was exceptionally responsive and flexible, even collecting a guest at 2:30 am airport arrival without friction.
- Guide knowledge throughout was detailed; hotels comfortable; train journeys well-organised; food consistently good across all stops.
- Aswan itself underwhelmed one reviewer; only worthwhile as a launch point for Abu Simbel, not a destination in its own right.
- Seven days covers Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan without feeling rushed; genuine pacing for short-time Egypt exploration.
