Five days is enough to see Egypt's two essential cities without rushing between them. This private 5 Day Classic Egypt Tour Cairo Luxor covers Cairo and Luxor, built for travelers who want the Giza Pyramids, Karnak Temple, and the Valley of the Kings covered properly, with a private guide and vehicle instead of a shared bus and a fixed schedule. With Aten Tours, this Egypt Classic Tour is designed for travelers who want a comfortable and well-organized experience.
Cairo opens the trip: the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, then south to Saqqara for Djoser's Step Pyramid, the oldest stone monument in the world, and on to Memphis, Egypt's first capital. This Cairo Luxor Classic Tour Package then takes you by domestic flight to Luxor for two days on the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple.
Your Egyptologist guide follows your interest, not a script: he'll linger where you want to linger and move on where you don't. That's the practical difference between a private tour and a fixed group itinerary.
The route runs Cairo, then Luxor, then back to Cairo for the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Citadel of Saladin before departure, so the trip closes with Cairo's newest landmark instead of opening with it. This 5 Day Egypt Classic Vacation Cairo Luxor is arranged with the same guide and private vehicle staying with you the whole way, so the transitions between cities don't feel rushed. To adjust any part of the itinerary, message us: we reply the same day.
Your guide is waiting at Cairo International Airport with a sign showing your name. From there, an Aten Tours representative takes over with a private air-conditioned car to your hotel, assists you with check-in, and gives you a full walkthrough of your Egypt Classic Tour, including the next five days, pickup times, sightseeing schedule, and any optional extras you're interested in.
After that, the rest of the day is free to rest. A welcome drink is waiting for you, and you'll spend the night in Cairo before an early start at Giza tomorrow.
Stay over in Cairo.
Welcome Drink
Your Egyptologist guide picks you up early to begin your Cairo Luxor Classic Tour Package and beat the day's heat at Giza. You'll get close to the Great Giza Pyramid, originally 147 meters tall, and hear how it was actually built, then see the Khafre and Menkaure pyramids, raised by Khufu's two successors. The Great Sphinx has watched over this plateau for 4,500 years; a camel ride around it is there if you want it, optional either way.
From Giza, it's on to Saqqara for Djoser's Step Pyramid, the oldest pyramid ever built, and the Tomb of Teti, where the wall paintings still hold their color after 4,000 years. Lunch is at a local restaurant, then Memphis, Egypt's first capital, where a fallen alabaster sphinx and a colossus of Ramses II sit among the ruins. You're back in Cairo for the night.
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch
Breakfast is early today: pickup is around 3:30 AM for the flight from Cairo to Luxor, as you continue your Classic Egypt Tour Cairo and Luxor. An Aten Tours representative meets you on arrival, and the day goes straight into the West Bank. At the Valley of the Kings, your guide explains why the tombs sit inside the mountains at all, after generations of tomb robbers, pharaohs stopped building pyramids and started hiding their burials in rock-cut chambers instead.
Next is the Colossi of Memnon, then the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, built directly into the cliffs. Covering both riverbanks in a single day is ambitious. What makes it work is having your own guide and vehicle waiting at each stop, instead of syncing with a group's schedule.
After checking into your hotel and a short break, you'll cross to the East Bank for Karnak Temple, expanded over two thousand years for the god Amun-Ra, and close the day at Luxor Temple, which changes completely once it's lit at night.
Overnight in Luxor
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast, you fly back to Cairo, and the day starts right from the airport. First stop is the Grand Egyptian Museum, the new home for Tutankhamun's full collection: over 5,000 pieces on display together for the first time since his tomb was discovered. Plan on spending real time here; it's not a quick walk-through.
From there, it's on to the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval fortress built on high ground, with the Mohamed Ali Mosque inside and Islamic Cairo's rooftops spread out below the walls. From there, it's back to the hotel to rest up before tomorrow's departure.
Check into the hotel and overnight in Cairo.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Your last breakfast is at the hotel, with check-out by 12:00 PM. Your tour leader will pick you up at the time required for your flight and stay with you through the airport formalities, bringing your 5 Day Classic Egypt Tour Cairo Luxor to a smooth end.

Yes. The tour is arranged privately with a dedicated Egyptologist guide and private vehicle, allowing you to explore the main sites at your own pace.
Yes. Domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor are included according to the tour itinerary.
You will visit the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx, Saqqara and the Step Pyramid, Memphis, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and the Citadel of Saladin.
The tour includes private sightseeing in Cairo and Luxor, domestic flights between the two cities, hotel accommodation, an Egyptologist guide, private transportation, and meals as listed in the itinerary.
Memphis was Egypt's first capital, and its open-air museum holds a fallen alabaster sphinx and a colossus of Ramses II. It's a shorter stop than Giza or Saqqara, but it fills in a piece of history the other sites don't cover on their own.
It's Islamic-era, not pharaonic. Built as a medieval fortress on high ground, the Citadel houses the Mohamed Ali Mosque and offers a view over Islamic Cairo's rooftops and minarets. It's paired with the Grand Egyptian Museum on Day 4 to balance the day's itinerary.
The Valley of the Kings holds more than 60 royal tombs cut into the mountainside on Luxor's West Bank, built this way after generations of pyramid tomb robberies. Your Egyptologist guide selects which tombs to enter based on what's open and included that day.
Yes, they're different sites. The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is Cairo's new museum near the Giza Plateau, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection shown together for the first time. This tour visits GEM, not the older downtown Egyptian Museum.
