The 4 day Cairo and Luxor tour package from Egypt Best Vacations combines Egypt’s two greatest cities in one seamless private tour — just you, your companions, and your own licensed Egyptologist guide – with domestic flights, 5-star hotels, and licensed Egyptologist guides, starting from $790 per person. Departures run every day from Cairo, making it the ideal short break tour for first-time visitors with limited time.
Your journey begins in Cairo with the Great Pyramid of Giza — the oldest and only surviving wonder of the ancient world — followed by the treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection. A short flight then carries you to Luxor, the world’s greatest open-air museum, for the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the colossal halls of Karnak.
Unlike most short Egypt itineraries, this 4-day tour of Cairo and Luxor ends with a full day in historic Cairo — the Citadel of Saladin, the churches of Coptic Cairo, and the Khan El-Khalili bazaar — so you leave having seen pharaonic, Christian, and Islamic Egypt in a single trip. Want to elevate the experience further? Our Private 4-Day Egypt Luxury Tour offers the same private format with 5-star luxury and ultra-deluxe hotels.
Welcome to Egypt! As you step out of Cairo International Airport, an Egypt Best Vacations representative is already waiting with your name sign to guide you through visa and arrival formalities.
