An Egypt Budget Trip doesn't have to mean skipping the best parts. This 8-day private tour proves it, covering Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and Alexandria with a 5-star Nile cruise at its heart and not a single iconic site left off the list.
Begin in Cairo with the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum's legendary Tutankhamun collection. Board an overnight sleeper train to Aswan — your gateway
to Upper Egypt. Step onto your Nile cruise and set off for Abu Simbel, where Ramses II's Colossal rock temples stand as one of archaeology's greatest surviving achievements. Continue sailing past the twin-deity temple of Kom Ombo, the immaculately preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu, and the vast Karnak Temple Complex before arriving in Luxor — the world's greatest
open-air museum.
Cross to the legendary West Bank for the Valley of the Kings and the mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, then board your return sleeper train to Cairo. Your final day takes you to Alexandria — the ancient Mediterranean city of Alexander the Great — for the Bibliotheca
Alexandrina, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa.
Eight days. Four cities. Every landmark that makes Egypt unforgettable — at a price that makes it accessible.
