10-Day Egypt and Hurghada Tour
Why Choose This 10-Day Egypt and Hurghada Tour?
10-Day Egypt and Hurghada Tour combines Egypt’s ancient landmarks with a three-night Nile cruise and a relaxing Red Sea stay.
The journey begins in Cairo with private guided visits to the Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum.
An included domestic flight then takes you to Aswan. Visit Philae Temple, the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk before boarding the Nile cruise.
The cruise sails north through Kom Ombo and Edfu. It reaches Luxor after three nights of full-board accommodation and guided temple visits.
In Luxor, explore Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and the Colossi of Memnon.
The 10-Day Egypt and Hurghada Tour then continues by private road transfer to Hurghada.
Three Red Sea nights provide time for beach relaxation, resort facilities and a snorkeling and island boat experience.
The final night is spent in Cairo. This avoids placing a long Hurghada transfer and an international flight on the same day.
Cairo sightseeing is private. Standard cruise and Red Sea boat excursions are shared unless a private upgrade is confirmed.
