About this trip
Two days covering the big sights of southern Egypt, flying from Cairo rather than taking the long road or river route. You get a guide, domestic flights, accommodation and transport laid on, so the logistics are handled and you can focus on the temples.
The trip centres on Abu Simbel and Luxor's east and west banks, with a guide talking you through the history at each stop. It's a private tour, so pace and timing can flex around your group.
What you'll do
- Fly from Cairo to Abu Simbel to see the temple
- Explore the Valley of the Kings with a guide
- Visit Karnak temple
- Tour Luxor's east and west bank sites
- Fast-paced — two days by flight to cover sights that others take longer over
- Private and guided, so timings can be adjusted to suit your group
- Suits travellers short on time who still want to see Abu Simbel and Luxor
Worth it if you're fit, flexible with a gruelling schedule, and want major sites covered fast. Think twice if you need rest days or prefer leisurely exploration.
- Guides Hany and Michael are genuinely knowledgeable, patient with questions, and go above and beyond—one recovered a lost passport.
- Two-day schedule is relentlessly packed with minimal downtime; most rest happens during transport between sites, not relaxation.
- Hot air balloon ride, banana island visit, and honey tasting included; drivers attentive, safe, and sometimes treat guests to refreshments.
- Early starts and long travel days required; bring fitness and stamina, not suited to leisurely sightseeing.
