This 5-day luxury private Egypt tour covers Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor, the three cities that hold Egypt's most complete story, from the Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Upper Egypt. It suits travelers who want to see the essentials without rushing and who value a private guide and vehicle over a shared coach timetable.
In Cairo, you stand at the base of the pyramids and walk through the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to Tutankhamun's full collection displayed together for the first time. The tour then flies south to Abu Simbel in Aswan, the rock-cut temple Ramesses II built to mark Egypt's southern border, before continuing to Luxor for Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings.
You're never grouped with strangers along the way; an Egyptologist guide and an air-conditioned vehicle stay with you the entire five days, and the pace adjusts around what your group wants to see.
Hotels follow the same logic: five-star properties in Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor, chosen for their location near the sites on your route, not just their amenities.
The route opens in Cairo with the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then flies south to Aswan for Abu Simbel before continuing to Luxor for Karnak and the Valley of the Kings and flying back to Cairo.
Each leg connects by short domestic flight, so no day is lost to travel. To adjust the pace or ask about dates, message us on WhatsApp
Your tour begins the moment you land at Cairo International Airport, where an Aten Tours representative meets you at arrivals holding a sign with your name.
They guide you through immigration and customs, then confirm your full five-day schedule and pickup times for the days ahead.
From there, a private air-conditioned vehicle takes you directly to your hotel—no shared shuttle, no waiting on other passengers.
A welcome drink awaits at check-in, giving you a chance to settle in and rest before your first full touring day tomorrow
Overnight in Cairo.
After breakfast, your private Egyptologist guide meets you for a full day covering Cairo's two essential sites.
At Giza, you'll stand before the pyramids of the 4th-dynasty pharaohs, take in the panorama from the viewpoint (a camel ride here is optional, on request), then walk to the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Chephren.
From there, the Grand Egyptian Museum holds Tutankhamun's full treasure collection, shown together for the first time. After lunch at an upscale local restaurant, a private transfer takes you to Cairo Airport for your flight to Aswan, where our representative meets you and transfers you to your hotel.
After breakfast at your Aswan hotel, your Egyptologist guide picks you up from the lobby for a day at Abu Simbel, one of Egypt's most striking archaeological sites.
You'll see the rock-cut temples King Ramses II built to honor himself and his queen, Nefertari, and hear the full story behind their 1960s relocation to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
Lunch follows at a local restaurant before a private transfer takes you onward to Luxor, where you check into your hotel for the night.
Your Egyptologist guide and driver pick you up after breakfast for a full day across Luxor, the world's largest open-air museum.
On the West Bank, you'll see the Colossi of Memnon, the twin statues of Amenhotep III, and then explore Hatshepsut Temple at Deir El Bahari, carved directly into the cliff face for Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh, and the Valley of the Kings, where more than 60 tombs include that of Tutankhamun.
After lunch, you check out and cross to the East Bank for Karnak Temple, the vast hypostyle hall, and the sacred lake, considered one of the largest religious complexes ever built.
A private transfer then takes you to Luxor Airport for your flight back to Cairo, where our representative meets you for the transfer to your hotel.
After breakfast and check-out, a private air-conditioned vehicle takes you to Cairo International Airport at your scheduled time for departure, marking the end of your Egypt Luxury Private Tour.
If your flight timing allows, an early-morning sunrise camel ride at the Pyramids can be arranged on request before your transfer, a quiet, uncrowded way to see Giza one last time.
Meals: Breakfast
Physical Requirements: Most days involve walking on uneven ground, stone steps, and areas without much shade particularly at Giza, Abu Simbel, and the Valley of the Kings. The pace is comfortable rather than strenuous, but standard mobility is expected since tombs and temple interiors are not wheelchair accessible.
Dress Code: Egypt has no strict dress requirement for tourist sites, but shoulders and knees are best covered when entering tombs and temples out of respect for the setting, and modest clothing is advised generally when moving through local areas outside hotels.

All FAQ about Egypt
