Cairo and Luxor 2 Days Trip from Safaga by Flight
This 2-day adventure offers an efficient and immersive experience of two of Egypt’s most iconic cities: Cairo, the bustling capital, and Luxor, the ancient city of the Pharaohs. By utilizing flights between the cities, you’ll maximize your time exploring the pyramids, museums, temples, and tombs that define Egypt’s extraordinary history. This itinerary is perfect for travelers with limited time who still want to see the best of Egypt.
Day 1 / 5:00 AM Cairo
Begin your trip with an early morning flight from Safaga to Cairo. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your guide and driver, ready to start your day of exploration in Egypt's capital.
Your first stop in Cairo is the legendary Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the grandeur of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the slightly smaller Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Learn about the history and construction of these iconic structures, and don’t forget to take a moment to capture photos with the enigmatic Sphinx, the guardian of the plateau.
Next, head to the Egyptian Museum, home to the world’s most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Explore the museum’s treasures, including the magnificent Tutankhamun collection, which features the young pharaoh’s famous gold mask, jewelry, and other burial items. The museum’s vast array of statues, mummies, and relics provide a deep dive into Egypt’s rich history.
Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor dishes like koshari, grilled meats, and mezze. This is an excellent opportunity to relax and refuel before continuing your exploration.
Visit the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortress that offers panoramic views of Cairo. Within the Citadel, explore the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, which is a stunning example of Ottoman architecture.
End your Cairo visit with a stroll through Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest markets in the Middle East. Here, you can shop for souvenirs, jewelry, spices, and traditional crafts while soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of this historic marketplace.
Evening Flight to Luxor
After a full day in Cairo, take an evening flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel for check-in.
Settle into your hotel in Luxor, where you can enjoy dinner and unwind after a day of exploration. The evening is yours to relax and prepare for the next day’s adventures.
Day 2 / 8:00 Am Luxor
Visit the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of Egypt’s pharaohs are hidden in the mountains. Explore the intricately decorated tombs, including the famous Tomb of Tutankhamun, and learn about the ancient Egyptian beliefs in the afterlife.
Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a stunning mortuary temple dedicated to one of Egypt’s most successful female pharaohs. The temple’s unique architecture and its setting against the cliffs make it a must-see.
Stop by the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have stood for thousands of years as guardians of the ancient city.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant on the West Bank, offering a chance to sample more traditional Egyptian cuisine and relax before continuing your day.
Head to Karnak Temple, one of the largest religious complexes in the world. Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall with its towering columns, and explore the many chapels, obelisks, and statues that make up this extraordinary site.
Finish your day with a visit to Luxor Temple, located in the heart of the city. This temple, connected to Karnak by an ancient avenue of sphinxes, was a key religious and political center. The temple is especially magical at sunset when it is beautifully illuminated.
Return to Safaga by Air-Conditioned Car
After completing your exploration of Luxor, embark on a comfortable drive back to Safaga in an air-conditioned car. The journey offers a chance to relax and reflect on the incredible experiences of the past two days.
