Overview

Last updated: 26 October 2026
The 5 days solo female Egypt tour from Travel Joy Egypt is a private package for a woman travelling alone. A female Egyptologist guide takes you through Cairo, Giza, Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor and back to Cairo. It is one of our private Egypt tour packages with Egyptologist guides.
Key Takeaways
The essentials at a glance:
- Guide and car: your female Egyptologist guide and a private air-conditioned car cover every excursion and airport run.
- Transport: 2 domestic flights and a first-class train link Cairo, Aswan and Luxor, all included in the price.
- Price: from $1,295 per person, with the single-room price shown in the price table below.
- Early start: Day 3 begins before dawn with the trip to Abu Simbel, followed by the first-class train to Luxor and a free evening.
- Dinner cruise: Day 1 ends with a Nile dinner cruise, which is a single evening, not a multi-night Nile cruise.
How Does the 5 Days Solo Female Egypt Tour Work?
The route is a loop with 4 hotel nights: Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Cairo again. Abu Simbel is a day excursion from Aswan, not an overnight stop. The table shows where you spend each night and how you travel each day.
| Day | Overnight in | Main sights | How you travel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Cairo | Nile dinner cruise | Private car from airport |
| Day 2 | Aswan | Giza Plateau, Grand Egyptian Museum | Private car, evening flight |
| Day 3 | Luxor | Abu Simbel temples | Private car, then first-class train |
| Day 4 | Cairo | Luxor West and East Bank | Private car, evening flight |
| Day 5 | None | Free time before your flight | Private transfer to airport |
Both flights leave in the evening, after a day of sightseeing, and the train runs on the afternoon of Day 3.
What Difference Does a Female Egyptologist Guide Make on a Solo Trip?
Your guide stays with you for the whole trip, so the Egyptologist explaining the Giza Plateau on Day 2 is the same one beside you at Karnak on Day 4. On arrival and departure, someone from our team meets and helps you at every airport, starting with a Travel Joy Egypt representative at Cairo airport. That is useful with 2 evening flights.
One guest, on her first solo trip in Egypt with night trips and domestic flights, wrote that she never imagined she would feel so safe. We also vet every hotel on the route.
Travel Joy Egypt is a licensed local operator with 13 years of travel expertise and a 5.0 rating from 133 Tripadvisor reviews. Every guide is a licensed Egyptologist, and you can learn more about our private Egyptologist guides in Egypt.
How Early Does the Abu Simbel Day Start?
Abu Simbel lies 280 km south of Aswan, and your private air-conditioned car takes about 3 hours each way. Road trips to Abu Simbel generally leave Aswan around 4:00am to beat the midday heat, and Day 3 follows that early pattern: a packed breakfast, then the temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari. You are back in Aswan for lunch before the first-class train to Luxor. For the full route, read how to reach the Abu Simbel temples from Aswan.
Is 5 Days Enough for Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel?
Yes, for the main sights, but the pace is brisk, with 1 night each in Aswan and Luxor and no full rest day. This tour suits a woman with 5 days to spare who wants the Giza Plateau, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Abu Simbel, the Valley of the Kings and Karnak in one trip. It is a poor fit if you want slow mornings.
Pick another package if the pace or the route is not right:
- More days: the 7 days solo woman Egypt tour gives you 2 extra days.
- Fewer flights: the solo woman tour that stays in Cairo keeps you in the capital.
- Nile cruise: the 8 days solo female tour with a Nile cruise adds a multi-night cruise.
