Trip overview

8-Day family vacation package to Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan with Nile cruise

Egypt family tours agreed on this unforgettably immersive 8-Day vacation experience so you could go out and experience some of the best of Egypt. First, it will favor you to visit the Giza Pyramids, then later, the Egyptian Museum at Giza, and finally the Khan-Al-Khalili Mall while you are in the surroundings of Cairo. Your luxury Egypt tour continues in Luxor, Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple will be admired while you get on board the cruise on the Nile itself. Then, Aswan will offer you a novel, unforgettable experience from the High Dam to Philae Temple to that of the Unfinished Obelisk. As you sail to Edfu to visit its own temples, and then those of Kom Ombo, you may most properly also visit the West Bank of Luxor for its famous attractions, the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple. This luxurious Egypt family tour will horribly mix in each of the ancient monuments, modern points of interest, typical native traditions, and dramatically beautiful natural scenery of Egypt.

Meals: No meals included today.


 

A day of historical exploration at Giza's ancient sites begins immediately after your breakfast with a connection to your professional guide at your hotel. Your journey begins at the

Giza Pyramids:

Explore the grand Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Giza Pyramids tour, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure.

Great Sphinx:

With the face of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, the Great Sphinx has stood for millennia guarding the pyramids.

After lunch, you continue your Cairo day tour by going to the

Grand Egyptian Museum:

One of the biggest contemporary museums in the world, the Grand Egyptian Museum tour showcases ancient Egyptian artifacts and is a must-see for visitors. Its extensive collection includes statues and royal treasures from different dynastic periods, offering a remarkable journey through Egypt’s history.

Then, proceed on your Cairo walking tour to the

Khan el Khalili:

In the heart of Cairo, the Islamic Cairo walking tour and Khan el Khalili traditional bazaar offer patrons the chance to buy handcrafted jewelry, artwork, aromatic spices, and customary mementos. Step into the vibrant atmosphere of one of the oldest markets in the Middle East.

Eat breakfast before moving to Cairo Airport to board the flight that will take you to a Luxor day trip, which stands as the largest outdoor historical complex on Earth. 

Karnak Temple:

You will go to the West Bank just after your lunch in one of the local restaurants in the area. You can see the tombs of pharaohs at the

Valley of the Kings:

On the list of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, the Valley of the Kings served as the ancient royal cemetery for New Kingdom pharaohs of Egypt, including the most well-known, Tutankhamun. With over sixty tombs—many richly decorated and carved deep into the rock with symbolic artwork, hieroglyphs, and secret chambers—this site was designed to guide pharaohs into the afterlife.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: 

Beautifully set against the dramatic cliffs of Deir el-Bahri, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved ancient Egyptian temples. This astounding mortuary temple was built to honor one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs. Its terraces, statues, and relief carvings reflect the prosperity of her reign and her devotion to the god Amun. As you walk through the temple with your guide, you will hear the story of Hatshepsut—how she rose to power in a male-dominated world and how her legacy continues to captivate historians and visitors alike.

Colossi of Memnon:

For more than 3,000 years, the Colossi of Memnon have watched over the gateway to the long-lost mortuary temple of Amenhotep III on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor. Standing about 18 meters (60 feet) high, each statue is carved from a single block of sandstone.

At the end of your day, you will return to your cruise for lunch and sail to Edfu Temple. Enjoy a Galabia Party on board in the evening.

The High Dam provides irrigation water across most of Egypt and ensures Nile River water management. From here, you can take in breathtaking views of Lake Nasser, the world’s largest artificial water reservoir.

Unfinished Obelisk:

Experience the largest known ancient obelisk at the Unfinished Obelisk in its original quarry space, where it remained because of its splitting characteristics.

However, these visits can be added to your itinerary as optional excursions.

Tipping is not included in any of our packages and is entirely at the traveler’s discretion. While it is not mandatory, tips are an important way to show appreciation for the hard work of the local staff and guides who make your experience memorable.

To ensure a smooth and comfortable journey throughout Egypt, we suggest you pack the following items:

  • Valid Passport (at least 6 months): Double-check that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned arrival date in Egypt, as this is often a requirement for entry.
  • Sun Protection: Given Egypt’s sunny climate, we recommend packing high-SPF sunscreen and lip balm with sun protection to shield your skin from the intense sun.
  • UV-Blocking Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce glare while sightseeing, especially when exploring outdoor sites like the Pyramids.
  • Hand Sanitizer: Hygiene is important, particularly when handwashing isn’t always accessible, so be sure to bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer.
  • Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is key, particularly in the heat. A refillable water bottle will help you stay refreshed while reducing plastic waste.
  • Insect Repellent: Particularly useful when visiting sites surrounded by nature, insect repellent will keep pesky bugs at bay and protect you from bites.
  • Appropriate Clothing for the Season:
    • Winter: If traveling during the cooler months, pack a warm jacket, sweater, and thermal layers.
    • Summer: Lightweight, breathable cotton clothes are ideal for staying cool in the hot weather.
  • Wide-Brimmed Hat: A hat provides shade and helps protect your face and neck from direct sun exposure.
  • Travel Adapter: Different countries have varying plug types, so bring a universal travel adapter to keep your electronics charged.
  • Camera or Smartphone: Capture stunning memories from your trip with a camera or your phone. Egypt’s ancient sites are perfect for photos!
  • Compact Umbrella: Though Egypt is mostly dry, a small umbrella can be handy during the rare rain showers, especially if you're traveling during the transitional months.
  • Comfortable Shoes: You’ll likely be doing a lot of walking during your sightseeing, so pack sturdy and comfortable shoes suitable for exploring archaeological sites and urban areas.
  • Medications: If you take prescription medication, ensure you have an adequate supply for the duration of your trip. Also, carry any over-the-counter medications you may need for common issues like headaches or stomach discomfort.
