Cairo, Luxor and Aswan in five days

The short version, by air, with no cruise and no wasted morning.

4 nights Private Licensed guide No deposit Cancel any time, free

What this is

For travellers with under a week. Two nights in Cairo, one in Luxor, one in Aswan, connected by domestic flights rather than a cruise. You lose the sailing days and gain a day of sightseeing. It is a fast itinerary and we will say so: if you have eight days, take the cruise instead.

Highlights

  • Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum and Saqqara
  • Luxor's East and West Bank in one full day
  • Philae, the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk
  • Three domestic flights included
  • Abu Simbel on the final morning Optional · extra charge

Items marked optional are not in the price. Tell us which you want and we will quote them in writing before the trip.

Good to know

  • Wear closed-toe shoes; most sites are sand, gravel and uneven stone.
  • Summer temperatures in Upper Egypt regularly exceed 40C. We start early for a reason.
  • Bring your passport - several sites check ID at the gate.
  • Photography is free at most sites; interior tomb photography sometimes carries a separate ticket.

Questions

How do I book?

Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.

Are the hotels and flights included?

Everything listed under what is included is booked and paid by us as part of the package. We hold the reservations; you owe nothing until you arrive in Egypt.

Do you take a deposit?

No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.

What if I need to change or cancel?

Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.

Is Egypt safe for solo and female travellers?

The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
