Tour Plan
Upon landing at Cairo International Airport, an Magic Egypt Tours representative will be waiting inside the arrivals hall holding an Magic Egypt Tours sign.
Following assistance with arrival formalities and luggage collection, you'll be escorted to a private air-conditioned vehicle for the transfer to Cairo Hotel. After check-in, you'll have some time to relax and settle into your room before the evening program begins.
Later, a private air-conditioned vehicle will transfer you to the Nile Cruise dock. Board the vessel and enjoy dinner while sailing along the Nile as Cairo's skyline lights up after sunset. During the cruise, live entertainment and traditional performances provide a lively atmosphere before returning to the dock.
At the end of the evening, you'll be transferred back to Cairo Hotel for overnight.
Helpful Hint: If your flight arrives early, take some time to enjoy the hotel's gardens and pyramid views before the evening cruise.
Meet your guide at the hotel and travel by private air-conditioned vehicle to the Giza Plateau.
Begin your morning at the Great Pyramids of Giza, the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. You'll have time to walk around the exterior areas, stop at the panoramic viewpoint for photos, and learn more about the royal tombs that have dominated the desert landscape for centuries.
The tour then moves to the Sphinx viewing area, where you'll enjoy close exterior views of the famous limestone monument overlooking the plateau.
After completing the Giza visits, head to a local restaurant for lunch before continuing to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).
Spend the afternoon exploring the museum's galleries, which showcase thousands of artifacts from different periods of Egyptian history. Once the visit is complete, return to Marriott Mena House in a private air-conditioned vehicle.
Helpful Hint: The panoramic viewpoint offers excellent opportunities for wide-angle photos of the pyramids.
After breakfast, check out from the hotel and transfer to Cairo Airport in a private air-conditioned vehicle for your flight to Luxor.
Upon arrival, meet your guide and head directly to Luxor's West Bank. Start at the Valley of the Kings, where many of Egypt's pharaohs were buried in tombs carved into the desert hills.
The tour continues to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Luxor's most distinctive monuments, built against the dramatic limestone cliffs.
After completing the morning visits, stop at a local restaurant for lunch before making a brief visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues that once guarded a vast temple complex.
At the end of the tour, transfer to Luxor Hotel for check-in and overnight stay.
Helpful Hint: Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for today's archaeological sites.
Meet your guide after breakfast and travel to Luxor's East Bank in a private air-conditioned vehicle.
Begin at Karnak Temple, famous for its towering columns and enormous ceremonial halls. From there, continue to Luxor Temple, located in the center of the modern city along the Nile waterfront.
After completing the morning sightseeing, head to a local restaurant for lunch before transferring to Luxor Airport.
Board your flight back to Cairo, where a representative will meet you upon arrival and transfer you in a private air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo Hotel for your final night in Egypt.
Helpful Hint: Morning visits provide the most comfortable temperatures for exploring the temples.
Breakfast will be served at the hotel before check-out.
Depending on your departure schedule, you may have some free time to relax or take one final look at the pyramid views before leaving for the airport.
At the appropriate time, you'll be transferred to Cairo International Airport in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Assistance will be provided through departure procedures before saying farewell to Egypt.
Many travelers return in the future to visit destinations such as Aswan, Abu Simbel, Alexandria, or the Red Sea resorts, each offering a different perspective on the country.
Helpful Hint: International travelers should arrive at the airport at least three hours before departure.

To be honest, Egypt was never high on my travel list—until this opportunity came along. Now I can't believe it wasn't! From arrival to departure, everything was handled with care, organization, and efficiency. Airport transfers, tours, hotel check-ins and check-outs, and even a few last-minute "wish list" experiences were arranged seamlessly and with genuine enthusiasm. Since returning home, the two questions I get asked most often are, "What was the highlight?" and "Did you feel safe?" My answer: Everything was a highlight. Every single day offered something memorable and amazing. And did I feel safe? Absolutely. One hundred percent. Egypt is a beautiful country filled with kind, welcoming, and thoughtful people. The history, culture, and scenery exceeded every expectation. If Egypt is even a passing thought on your travel list, make it happen. Reach out to Magic Egypt Tours, trust the process, and prepare for the trip of a lifetime.
