Start Your Full-Day Cairo Tour from Luxor by Flight
Begin your exciting adventure with a seamless journey from Luxor to Cairo. In the early morning, our representative will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to Luxor International Airport. From there, you’ll board your flight to Cairo, which takes approximately one hour, giving you the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the stunning views as you make your way to Egypt’s bustling capital. Upon arrival, your private guide will meet you at the airport to begin your day tour in Cairo.
Visit the Giza Pyramids – Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus
Your first stop is the legendary Giza Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here, you will explore the grand pyramids of Cheops (Khufu), Chephren (Khafre), and Mycerinus (Menkaure), which have stood tall for over 4,000 years. These colossal stone structures are a testament to the architectural brilliance of ancient Egypt. Your expert guide will explain the fascinating history behind each pyramid and the complex process of their construction, leaving you awe-inspired by the scale and precision of these ancient monuments.
Marvel at the Sphinx and Visit the Valley Temple of King Chephren
After the pyramids, you’ll drive to the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh. The Sphinx has long been a symbol of strength and wisdom, and your guide will share intriguing facts and myths surrounding this ancient marvel. Next, you will visit the Valley Temple of King Chephren, an ancient mortuary temple where Pharaoh Chephren’s body was mummified. This sacred site offers a glimpse into the rituals associated with ancient Egyptian royalty and burial practices.
Enjoy Lunch at a Local Restaurant in Cairo
After exploring the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo. Relish traditional Egyptian dishes such as koshari (a rice and pasta dish), falafel, and fresh mezze served with flavorful bread. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere before continuing with your day’s exploration of Cairo’s fascinating history.
Visit the Egyptian Museum and Tutankhamun's Treasures
Following lunch, your next stop is the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to an astounding collection of artifacts from the Pharaonic era. The museum houses over 120,000 genuine artifacts, including the famous Tutankhamun collection. You’ll get to see Tutankhamun’s golden mask, his dazzling jewelry, and his treasures, which were discovered in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922. The museum also displays ancient mummies and many other significant relics from Egypt’s rich history, making it a must-see for history enthusiasts.
Explore Islamic Cairo and the Khan El Khalili Bazaar
Next, head to Islamic Cairo, where you’ll be transported to the heart of Egypt’s rich Islamic heritage.

The vibrant market is full of energy and offers a glimpse into the everyday life of Cairenes. Your guide will explain the significance of the area and the bustling market culture, giving you a true taste of Egyptian craftsmanship and local life.
