5 day egypt tour are enough to bring two different sides of the Egypt experience together in a single trip: the monuments of Pharaonic civilization and the adventures of the Red Sea.
The program begins with two days in Cairo and Luxor accompanied by a private Egyptologist guide, visiting the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Valley of the Kings, and Karnak Temple, then moves to Hurghada for a day on the Red Sea coast and exploration of the protected Giftun Island, where underwater visibility reaches 30 meters and more than 1,000 species of fish and coral live in the area.
The package includes two domestic flights, five-star hotel accommodation, and a private Egyptologist guide throughout the trip.
As soon as you arrive at Cairo International Airport, a Traviaz Egyptologist guide will be waiting to assist you with arrival procedures and luggage collection.
You then transfer by private air-conditioned car to your luxury hotel in Cairo to begin the trip in comfort.
The day begins after breakfast with a tour of the Giza Plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum with a Traviaz guide, then in the evening you head to the airport to fly to Luxor.
The Giza Plateau represents a royal funerary complex dating to the Fourth Dynasty and extending over more than 16,000 hectares.
The Pyramid of Khufu was built between 2580 and 2560 BC using six million tons of limestone and granite, and remained the tallest structure in the world for more than 3,800 years.
The Sphinx was carved from a single block of limestone measuring 73 meters in length, and faces east toward the sunrise during the equinoxes.
The Grand Egyptian Museum is located two kilometers from the Giza Plateau and opened officially in November 2025.
It displays the complete Tutankhamun collection, comprising 5,398 artifacts, for the first time in a single sequence within a hall covering 7,500 square meters.
At the entrance a statue of Ramesses II weighing 82 tons greets you, behind which extends the grand staircase surrounded by 87 large statues of pharaohs and gods. In the evening you fly to Luxor.
After breakfast you set out with a Traviaz guide on a full program between the eastern and western banks of the Nile, visiting some of Luxor's most famous archaeological sites during the day.
The Valley of the Kings holds 63 tombs carved into the rock for New Kingdom pharaohs, who ruled approximately from 1550 to 1069 BC.
The standard entry ticket allows visiting three tombs, while the Tomb of Tutankhamun requires a separate ticket.
The tomb walls retain vivid colours preserved for approximately 3,000 years, depicting the pharaoh's journey to the afterlife.
At Deir el-Bahari, the Temple of Hatshepsut appears in three levels of colonnaded terraces in front of the rocky slopes, built during the fifteenth century BC.
Hatshepsut dedicated it to the god Amun, while its carvings record the details of the trading expedition to the land of Punt, one of the oldest documented long-distance trade relationships in history.
Two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III stand on the Theban plain, each carved from quartzite and measuring 18 meters in height.
The statues have maintained their position for more than three thousand years and have become among the most famous landmarks of the West Bank of Luxor.
The Karnak Temple Complex extends across 247 acres and is considered the largest religious structure built in the ancient world. Its development continued over two thousand years, with a large number of pharaohs adding to it.
The Great Hypostyle Hall holds 134 sandstone columns and covers 5,000 square meters, making it the largest hall in any religious structure in history.
After breakfast you leave Luxor overland toward Hurghada by private air-conditioned car, with the journey taking approximately four hours via the Eastern Desert road. Upon arrival the marine part of the trip begins, with time allocated for relaxation or choosing from the available activities.
Hurghada is located on the Red Sea and its surrounding waters hold more than 1,000 species of fish and approximately 200 species of hard coral.
In the protected areas, underwater visibility can reach 30 meters, which makes the area one of the well-known sites for diving and snorkeling.
After arrival and hotel check-in, the rest of the day is available for relaxation or beach exploration.
UNESCO-protected Giftun Island provides a snorkeling option approximately 45 minutes by boat from Hurghada marina, with colorful coral reefs and clear waters.
Those who prefer a desert atmosphere can choose a jeep or quad bike safari in the dunes surrounding Hurghada, while a glass-bottomed boat trip allows viewing marine life for those who prefer not to dive.
After breakfast you transfer to Hurghada airport to fly to Cairo, from where you continue your international departure. A Traviaz representative accompanies you through the departure procedures in both Hurghada and Cairo to ensure a smooth transition until the end of the trip.
