Three days that compress 4,500 years of Egyptian history into a single sane itinerary. You'll watch the sun rise over the Giza plateau before the day-tripper buses arrive, walk inside the Great Pyramid, sit close to the Sphinx without 200 selfie sticks between you. Day two: the Grand Egyptian Museum (the new one, by the pyramids, with Tutankhamun's full collection in one place). Day three: Coptic and Islamic Cairo on foot, ending in Khan el-Khalili bazaar with mint tea overlooking Al-Hussein Square, then a sunset felucca on the Nile. Egyptologist guide on every site.
"Sunrise at the pyramids alone was worth the whole trip. Our Egyptologist Hassan made 4,500 years feel like yesterday."
"The Grand Egyptian Museum is mind-blowing. Allocate four hours, not two. The Tutankhamun gallery alone is worth the trip."
Cairo and Giza are safe for tourists — police presence is heavy around sites. Standard street-smart precautions: keep valuables out of sight in busy markets, ignore the touts at the pyramids, use the meter on taxis or Uber/Careem.
Yes — 3-day Luxor add-on includes Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut temple, sunrise balloon, all flights. From $1,490/pp. We can sequence: 3-day Cairo → 1-hr flight to Luxor → 3-day Luxor → fly back. Tell us at booking.
Cairo is more relaxed than Saudi but more conservative than Tunis. Cover shoulders and knees at mosques (scarves provided). At pyramids/museums anything goes. Bring layers — sites are hot, hotels are aggressively air-conditioned.
October–April is prime — cool, dry, walkable. June–August Cairo hits 38°C+ midday; sites still visitable in the morning but hard work. Christmas/NYE is peak pricing — book by August.
