Egypt Tour Package: 15 Days All-Inclusive
Experience 15 days visiting impressive sights including Cairo and Hurghada, the paradise of the Red Sea with this Egypt Tour Package. You'll enjoy a cruise along the Nile and Lake Nasser.
Description
Day 1
Welcome to Cairo! As soon as you land in the Egyptian capital, we'll help you sort your visa so that you can board a flight to Luxor without any issues. The flight only lasts an hour between the two cities. From the airport we'll take you on a motorboat to the banks of the sacred river of the pharaohs, ready for an unforgettable four-night cruise on the Nile with everything included!
Day 2
Scarlet tones emerge with the Luxor sunrise. The cruise ship will dock on the eastern bank of the Nile so that we can enjoy a guided tour around Karnak Temple. Its exciting history will captivate us from the very first moment. We'll also immerse ourselves in the fascinating past of Pharaonic Egypt by visiting the Luxor Temple, the Colossi of Memnon and the Hatshepsut Temple, whose colossal dimensions never fail to surprise us. After the visit, we'll return to the ship for lunch and continue the journey towards Edfu.
Day 3
The unfathomable secrets of the falcon god await us at the Horus Temple in Edfu. This archaeological site on the western bank of the Nile will allow us to continue learning about the history of ancient Egypt. We'll also visit the Kom Ombo site. Its Sobek and Haroeris Temples are still an inexhaustible source of theories and hypotheses for Egyptologists. The secrets of some of these studies will accompany us on the cruise along the Nile, which will continue south to Aswan.
Day 4
On this day we'll board an Egyptian felucca to sail to the island of the Philae Temple. After the guided tour of this exceptional ruin declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we'll return to the comforts of the cruise.
Day 5
The Nile cruise finishes on this day, but the adventure in Egypt continues. In fact, as soon as we disembark in Aswan, we'll drive to the monumental site of Abu Simbel. The giant busts of Ramses II and the other sculptures that form part of the nearby Nefertari Temple will leave us in awe. After having the afternoon free to admire the figures in detail, we'll enjoy dinner with a sound and light show in Abu Simbel in the evening.
To conclude the evening, we'll set sail on an all-inclusive three-night cruise on Lake Nasser!
Day 6
On the shores of Lake Nasser, we'll visit one of the most outstanding citadels in this area of Egypt, Qasr Ibrim. Nearby is the Amada Temple, where we'll see the ancient ruins of Nubia. Before returning to the ship we'll also learn about the history of the Derr Temple and the tomb of Pennut. Will this ancient governor from the time of Ramses IV have any hidden messages for posterity?
Day 7
The next stop on this all-inclusive cruise along Lake Nasser will be a very special ruin, Wadi el Sebowa. Here we'll see the legendary Dakka and Mahrakka Temples and reveal the legend that shrouds these places in mystery! Afterwards, we'll return to the boat. The voyage will still have many more surprises in store for us.
Day 8
We'll land on the island of the Kalabsha Temple. On this tiny island territory, the Kertasi Temple awaits us, which is dedicated to Isis, one of the main female gods of antiquity. After visiting the enclave we'll go to nearby Aswan and head to Hurghada, an Egyptian town located on the shores of the Red Sea. You'll spend four nights and three days enjoying an all-inclusive stay in this paradisiacal destination.
Days 9, 10 & 11
You'll have these three days to enjoy free time in Hurghada. There are many activities available including diving, snorkelling, a route through the desert and a guided tour of the city. Here you can see optional activities in Hurghada.
If you prefer, you can also use these three free days to relax on the beach, make the most of the sun, the sea and all the comforts of the all-inclusive hotel.
Day 12
Three hours before take-off, we'll take you to Hurghada airport so that you can comfortably board a flight to Cairo. The journey is just one hour! Once in the Egyptian capital, we'll eat at a local restaurant before going to the hotel for the next three nights.
Day 13
After breakfast at the hotel in Cairo, we'll go to the Giza Pyramids. Here we'll admire the Cheops mausoleums, Chephren and Myceraeus, and enter the second to learn more about the history of this important pharaoh. Another stop will be the famous Giza Great Sphinx to appreciate its colossal size.
After the three-hour guided tour of Giza, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, we'll travel to the Saqqara ancient necropolis to learn the secrets of the famous Zoser pyramid. Before returning to the hotel in Cairo, we'll put the perfect end to this intense day with dinner in a restaurant in the city centre.
Day 14
Get ready for a guided tour of Cairo! We'll dedicate the morning on this penultimate day to visit the most important locations around the city. The Egyptian Museum, the Citadel of Saladin, the Coptic Quarter, the Alabaster Mosque... You'll enjoy the complete experience of the city! We'll also taste traditional Middle Eastern food, with a lunch and a dinner that will take place in popular restaurants in downtown Cairo.
Day 15
Three hours before your flight departure, we'll take you to the airport in Cairo so that you can check in and board without any hassle or hurry.
What do I need?
To participate in this circuit, you only need to book a return flight to Cairo on your own. Please note that you must arrive on the day you have booked the tour, returning 15 days later. In between, everything is down to us.
We'll adapt the different visits, whenever it's possible so that you can fully enjoy everything included in this Egypt Tour Package.
Departure days
The direct flight between Cairo and Luxor included in this tour package only operates on Mondays. Therefore, if you choose a Monday as your departure day, the order of the tour will be the one described in the itinerary.
If you choose a Friday, for example, the order of the itinerary will change: first, the 3 nights in Cairo, then the 4 nights stay in Hurghada, then the 3 nights cruise on the Nasser lake and finally the 4 nights cruise on the Nile river. The tour will end in Luxor. We'll take you to its terminal so you can take the flight back to Cairo airport, the tour finish point.
Depending on the day of your arrival, you could visit Cairo first and then do the cruise, or vice versa.
All-Inclusive
Everything is included in the price: visa, domestic flights, transport, hotels, boats, lunches, dinners, breakfasts, guides, excursions, visits, entrance fees, and even tips.
Other agencies don't include everything, so their final price can double and it is almost impossible to compare it with our price.
