Is 5 Days Enough for Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel?

5 days gives you a compact sweep of Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel, and the schedule is full, with little free time. Day 2 packs a flight, the West Bank and the East Bank into a single day, and day 4 revolves around the drive to Abu Simbel. It suits travellers who want a short, guided trip through Egypt's main destinations, Abu Simbel included. For a slower pace, the 7 days luxury Egypt tour covers Cairo, Luxor and Aswan over more time.

How the Abu Simbel Day Works

Day 4 combines the Abu Simbel temples with the flight back to Cairo:

  1. Leave Aswan early with your guide.
  2. Travel by private vehicle to Abu Simbel.
  3. Visit the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the smaller Temple of Nefertari.
  4. Return to Aswan.
  5. Fly from Aswan to Cairo with help from a Travel Joy Egypt associate.

The Abu Simbel temples guide covers the site and what to see there.

Expert Advice

Plan Your Journey

Everything you need to know about this experience in Egypt.

1
How much does a 5 days Egypt tour cost per person?
Prices start from $2,129 per person, quoted in US dollars. The price depends on group size (2 to 4, 5 to 8 or 9 to 16 travellers) and on the season, and Christmas, New Year and Easter carry surcharges. The price table under the itinerary lists the rate for each season.
2
Is this 5 days Egypt tour private?
Yes. On this tour your guide, driver and vehicle are yours alone and never shared with strangers. The group sizes used for pricing describe your own party, not other travellers who join you. Meet the private Egyptologist guides who lead our tours, then send us your dates and group size.
3
How do you get from Aswan to Abu Simbel and how long do you stay?
On this tour you drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel in your private vehicle with your guide. Plan 2 to 3 hours at both temples to see the facades, explore the interiors and take photos. Afterwards you return to Aswan for the flight to Cairo.
4
Is the Grand Egyptian Museum included in the 5 days tour?
Yes, the visit is part of the itinerary, and the entrance ticket is included in the price. Day 5 starts at the Grand Egyptian Museum, where your guide leads you through the galleries, including King Tut's treasures. Our private Grand Egyptian Museum tour covers the museum in more detail.
5
How much does an Egypt visa cost?
The standard Egypt visa costs $30 and grants a single entry with a 30-day stay. The visa is not included in the tour price, so budget for it separately. Check which entry rules apply to your passport on the official Egypt e-visa portal before you travel.
6
What is the best time of year to visit Cairo, Luxor and Aswan?
October to April is the best time to visit Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, because daytime temperatures stay mild enough for comfortable sightseeing. The tour spends long stretches outdoors at the temples and in the Valley of the Kings. Peak holidays such as Christmas, New Year and Easter carry surcharges, so book early for those dates.
7
How far in advance should I book a 5 days Egypt tour?
Book 3 to 6 months ahead for the best hotels and guide availability, and earlier for peak holidays. This tour needs rooms in 3 cities and 2 domestic flights, so early requests leave you more choice. Send your dates through the enquiry form and we will check availability.
8
What should I wear in Egypt on this tour?
Wear comfortable walking shoes and modest clothes on this tour. There is no legal dress code for tourists, though covered shoulders and knees draw less unwanted attention. Women should carry a light scarf or shawl for religious sites, and everyone should pack sun protection and a daypack.
9
Is tipping included in the price?
No. Tips are not included in the price, although all service charges and taxes are. Personal expenses are excluded too. Tipping is customary in Egypt, so plan for it on top of the tour price, and ask us about it before you book.
10
Where does the tour start and how does pickup work?
The tour starts in Cairo. We pick you up at Cairo Airport or at any hotel in Cairo, and meet and greet at the airport is included in the price. On day 5 your driver takes you back to Cairo Airport for your departure flight. Your Egyptologist guide leads the sightseeing from day 1.
11
Which meals are included?
The package includes breakfast and lunch, plus bottled water on tours and transfers. Breakfast comes as a box on days 2 and 4, when the schedule starts early. Dinners are not listed, so ask us about them before you book.
