Key Takeaways
What to weigh before you pick a route:
- Trip length: 5 days is a taster of Egypt, and our trip-length guide recommends 7 to 10 days for a first visit.
- Entrance fees: included for the sites in each itinerary, while separately ticketed tombs and optional extras cost extra.
- Flights: most packages that add Luxor, Aswan or Hurghada fly between cities, while the budget 5 days package takes an overnight train between Cairo and Luxor. The Cairo-only packages need no flight.
- Nile cruise: the 5 days Cairo and Nile cruise package is listed under Nile cruises, so look for it there.
Choose a Route: 5 Days Egypt Tour Packages Compared
With only 4 nights, choose the route first. The table compares how each route divides the nights and moves you between cities:
| Route | Nights | Between cities | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cairo only | 4 Cairo | No domestic flight | Anyone who prefers one hotel |
| Cairo and Luxor | 3 Cairo, 1 Luxor | Round-trip domestic flight | Travellers short on time |
| Cairo and Luxor, 2 nights each | 2 Cairo, 2 Luxor | Round-trip domestic flight | Seniors and families |
| Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, then Luxor | 2 Cairo, 1 Aswan, 1 Luxor | Flights, first-class train to Luxor | Anyone set on Abu Simbel |
| Cairo, Luxor, then Aswan, Abu Simbel | 2 Cairo, 1 Luxor, 1 Aswan | Road from Luxor to Aswan | Visitors keen on Edfu and Kom Ombo |
| Cairo and Hurghada | 2 Cairo, 2 Hurghada | Round-trip domestic flight | Red Sea beach time |
| Cairo and Nile cruise | 1 Cairo, 3 on board | Flight to Aswan on day 2 | Cruise fans who still want Cairo |
| Cruise only, Luxor to Aswan | 4 on board | By Nile cruise | Christmas or Easter on the Nile |
| Cairo with Faiyum or Alexandria | 4 Cairo | Day trips from Cairo | Travellers wanting a day outside Cairo |
Each extra city takes nights away from Cairo, as the Nights column shows.
Add Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada or a Nile Cruise?
Each option below adds a second place to stay:
- Luxor: adds Karnak Temple on the East Bank and the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank, as in the 5 days Cairo and Luxor tour package.
- Aswan and Abu Simbel: the Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel tour package goes south by road through Edfu and Kom Ombo to Aswan.
- Hurghada: the private 5 days Cairo and Hurghada tour package pairs Cairo with a resort stay on the Red Sea.
- Nile cruise: the 5 days Cairo and Nile cruise package spends the first night in Cairo, then cruises from Aswan to Luxor.
Is 5 Days Enough for Egypt?
Yes for a first look, no for the whole country. Our trip-length guide describes 5 days as a short taster built around Cairo and Luxor. For the pace in detail, read our 5 days in Egypt itinerary guide.
Abu Simbel is where 5 days gets tightest, because it uses up a day of its own. The Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor packages fly from Cairo to Aswan to leave time for it. If you can spare more days, our 7 days Egypt tour packages give a first visit more room.
Packages for Wheelchair Users, Seniors, Families and Solo Women
We run separate 5 days packages for these travellers:
- Wheelchair users: the wheelchair packages use a vehicle adapted for wheelchair travellers on every ground transfer. Tell us your mobility needs and we match you to a route.
- Seniors and families: the senior package and the family package that combines Cairo and Luxor each use 2 nights in Cairo and 2 in Luxor, and the family version stays in family-friendly hotels.
- Solo women: a female Egyptologist guides the solo woman package through Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor.

Expert Guidance
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our 5 days Egypt tours.
1How much does a 5 days Egypt tour cost per person?
The 5 days Cairo and Luxor tour package starts from $625 per person. Most other packages have their own price table, and many split the prices by hotel level, season and group size.
2What is not included in a 5 days Egypt tour package?
International flights, the Egypt visa, tips and optional extras such as hot-air balloon flights are usually extra. Meals vary by package, so check the included list for lunches and dinners. We send a tipping guide before you travel, so you know what to expect.
3Is a 5 days Egypt tour private or a group tour?
Most of our packages are private, so your guide, driver and vehicle stay with you and are never shared with strangers. A few are small group tours, such as the 5 days Lower Egypt group tour (typically 8 to 15 travellers). Our guides are licensed, government-certified Egyptologists.
4Are airport transfers included in a 5 days Egypt tour?
Yes, private packages include airport pickups, hotel drop-offs and every transfer between sites and cities. That includes the airport transfers on either side of a domestic flight, for example on the 5 days Cairo and Luxor tour package, so you never arrange local transport yourself.
5Should I fly or take the sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor?
Fly if you want to save time: the flight takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. The overnight sleeper train saves a hotel night, and our budget 5 days package uses it instead of flights, with 3-star hotels. That budget package also lists meals as excluded.
6Is the Grand Egyptian Museum accessible on a 5 days wheelchair tour?
The Grand Egyptian Museum has ramps and elevators, so it is far more accessible than the ancient sites. Our wheelchair packages also use an adapted vehicle for ground transfers. Tell us your mobility needs and whether you want the museum, and we will recommend the package that fits your route.
7Can I change the route of a 5 days Egypt tour package?
Yes, the published itineraries are starting points that we can adjust. Tell us what you would change, such as the cities or the pace. If no route fits, ask for a tailor-made Egypt trip built around your dates and we plan it with you.
8How does booking a 5 days Egypt package work?
There is no instant online checkout. Choose a route, then send your dates through the enquiry form or message us on WhatsApp at any hour. You can talk through hotels, flights and pace with us first.
9How far in advance should I book a 5 days Egypt tour package?
Book 3 to 6 months ahead for the best hotels, cruise cabins and guides, especially from October to April. Closer to departure, ask about last-minute offers of up to 10% off departures in the next 45 days.
10How much is the Egypt visa for a 5 days trip?
The Egypt visa costs $30 USD and is usually paid on top of the package price. Check the entry rules for your passport on the official Egypt e-Visa portal before you book international flights, and confirm the current fee there before you travel.
11Are there 5 days Egypt tour packages for Christmas or Easter?
Yes. Christmas and Easter each have a cruise-only package of 5 days and 4 nights, and Christmas also has packages that combine Cairo, Luxor and Abu Simbel. The Christmas package is full board on a 5-star Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. The Easter cruise is aboard the 5-star MS Oberoi Zahra, calling at Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan.
12What happens on the Wadi Al-Hitan day of a 5 days Cairo and Faiyum tour?
You spend a day at Wadi Al-Hitan, a UNESCO World Heritage property that holds fossils of early whales, with a 4x4 desert safari, sandboarding and a camel ride. The 5 days Cairo and Faiyum UNESCO tour keeps all 4 nights in Cairo.
