About this trip
Six days based mainly in Cairo, built around four focused day tours that cover Egypt's best-known ancient and historic sites without much dead time in between.
You start with the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum, then head to Luxor for the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's Temple. Cairo's Islamic and Coptic quarters get their own day, followed by a trip out to Alexandria on the coast.
It's a straightforward, sightseeing-heavy week rather than a slow explore, suited to families or groups who want the major names ticked off with guides handling the logistics.
