Key takeaways
These points help you choose a tour:
- Starting point: where you are staying (a Cairo hotel, a Nile cruise or a port) narrows the choice to a few tours.
- Pace: a 2 days trip is a highlights trip, so expect a full schedule.
- Included: a private guide and entrance fees for the stops on each itinerary, while flights, hotel nights and meals vary by tour.
What Can You See With 2 Days Egypt Tour Packages?
With 2 days you can cover one area well, or a pair of cities joined by a flight, a train or a road transfer. The 2 days Cairo & Giza Highlights Tour, for example, spends day 1 at Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is fully open with the complete Tutankhamun collection. Day 2 covers the Citadel of Salah al-Din, then Khan el-Khalili Bazaar.
No 2 days trip covers the whole country. For Egypt's essentials without rushing, we suggest 7 to 10 days, and our guide to how many days you really need in Egypt shows how to plan them.
If your layover is shorter than 2 days, the 1 day Cairo stopover tour with airport transfers covers Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Which 2 Days Tour Suits Your Starting Point?
Where you start decides how you reach the sights, and 4 options cover most starting points:
| Starting point | Typical stops | Getting around | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cairo, no flights | Giza, Grand Egyptian Museum, Citadel | Private vehicle | Stopover and short-break travellers |
| Cairo, flying south | Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel | Domestic flight | Travellers adding Upper Egypt |
| Luxor, Aswan or a Nile cruise | Giza, Alexandria, Abu Simbel | Flight or train | Travellers already in Upper Egypt |
| Red Sea resort or port | Cairo, Luxor or Aswan | Road, rail or flight | Cruise passengers and resort guests |
Only the first row needs no flight or train; the others add a flight, a train or a long drive.
From Cairo
If you stay in Cairo, the overnight Cairo tour with Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum includes a hotel night with breakfast, a Nile dinner cruise and airport meet-and-assist. The 2 days Cairo & Alexandria Tour Package gives day 2 to Alexandria's Greco-Roman landmarks. The 2 days 1 night Bahariya Oasis camping trip is an adventure, not a monuments tour: you camp overnight in the White Desert.
Tours that fly south from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan are covered further down, under the question on Cairo and Luxor.
From Luxor, Aswan or a Nile Cruise
The Cairo & Abu Simbel Tour from Luxor flies you to Cairo for Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then on to Aswan for Abu Simbel. From Aswan, the Cairo & Alexandria Twin City Tour flies to Cairo for Giza and an Alexandria day trip, with pickup from your Aswan hotel or Nile cruise. The Luxor & Cairo adventure from Aswan starts with a train to Luxor, then flies to Cairo and back to Aswan.
From a Red Sea Resort or Cruise Port
From Makadi Bay, a private tour to Aswan and Abu Simbel drives to Luxor, then takes a first-class train to Aswan. From Port Ghalib, the Cairo & Luxor Express flies to Cairo and on to Luxor, while the Luxor & Aswan 2 Days Tour goes overland by road and rail. The 2 days trip to Luxor from Safaga Port includes a drive of about 3 hours in a private vehicle. Arriving by cruise? See our private shore excursions from Egyptian cruise ports for your port.
Is 2 Days Enough for Cairo and Luxor?
Yes, for a fast-paced first look. The 2 days Cairo & Luxor round trip flies you to Luxor and back, pairing a Cairo day with a Luxor day. The overnight trip to Luxor from Cairo by plane includes a felucca sail on the Nile. Our guide to Cairo to Luxor by flight, train or road compares the options.
The Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor tour from Cairo goes beyond Luxor and begins with a 3:00 AM pickup at your Cairo hotel for the domestic flight. If that sounds too tight, look at 3 days Egypt tour packages.
What to Check Before You Book a 2 Days Tour
Inclusions change from one tour to the next, so look at flights, the hotel night and meals:
- Flights: the 2 days Cairo & Luxor round trip includes domestic flights, while the Makadi Bay tour goes by road and rail.
- Hotel night: the Cairo & Giza Highlights Tour includes one hotel night with breakfast, and the Bahariya trip sleeps in a desert camp.
- Meals: the Cairo & Giza Highlights Tour adds a welcome dinner on a Nile cruise. Ask us which meals your chosen tour includes.
