Overview

This 5-day tour takes guests through iconic sites of ancient Egypt’s glory. From Giza’s pyramids and the Sphinx, travelers explore Cairo before a night train…

This 5-day budget tour connects Cairo and Luxor by overnight train, covering the Giza pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo, and Luxor's Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings at a lower cost than flight-based itineraries.

After an airport welcome and Cairo hotel check-in, the first sightseeing day covers the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara, and the Mit Rahina Museum's regal artifacts at ancient Memphis. The next day continues with the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Citadel's historic panorama, and Coptic Cairo's churches, ending with an overnight train to Luxor.

There, the group tours the Karnak Temple area before a day trip to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's distinctive temple, and the Colossi of Memnon, followed by a return train to Cairo.

The package includes airport and hotel transfers by private vehicle, 3-star accommodation in both Cairo and Luxor, English-speaking guiding for all tours, two-way train tickets between Cairo and Luxor, transportation between the two cities, bottled water during the tour, and all service fees and taxes; the Egyptian visa fee, entrance fees for major attractions, meals, gratuities, and optional extra tours are not included.

As a Budget-category package using overnight trains instead of domestic flights, this itinerary suits cost-conscious travelers who still want a guided, multi-city introduction to Cairo and Luxor's core sites.
