11-Day Tour Details

Day 1

Last call for passengers on the flight to Cairo! As soon as you land in the Egyptian capital, we'll help you sort your visa so that you can board a flight to Luxor without any issues. The flight only lasts an hour between the two cities. From the airport we'll take you on a motorboat to the banks of the sacred river of the pharaohs, ready for an unforgettable 4-night cruise on the Nile with everything included!

Day 2

Ochre, reddish, orange, scarlet... The sunrise in Lúxor is a natural spectacle that we can admire from the decks of the ship. The cruise ship will dock on the eastern bank of the Nile so that we can enjoy a guided tour around Karnak Temple. Its exciting history will captivate us from the very first moment. We'll also immerse ourselves in the fascinating past of Pharaonic Egypt by visiting the Luxor Temple, the Colossi of Memnon and the Hatshepsut Temple, whose colossal dimensions never fail to surprise us. After the visit, we'll return to the ship for lunch and continue the journey towards Edfu.

Day 3

The Horus Temple, in Edfu, hides many secrets about the falcon god. By visiting this archaeological site on the west bank of the Nile we'll enter one of the most fascinating (and at the same time most enigmatic) periods for Egyptologists. Then, to complete the pieces that make up the puzzle of ancient Egypt, we'll sail to the eastern bank of the "sacred river of the gods" to visit another outstanding archaeological site, Kom Ombo, to see the Sobek and Haroeris Temples. We'll continue this unforgettable cruise on the Nile, sailing towards the southern city of Aswan.

Important: the tour of Edfu will be done by horse-drawn carriage. In case you do not want to take the tour in this means of transport, you can inform the guide the day before so that they can arrange another transport for € 15 (US$ 16.95) per person.

Day 4

This day will be dedicated to the island of the Philae Temple, we'll board an Egyptian felucca to reach the island. After finding out unfathomable secrets within this exceptional ruin declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we'll return to the cruise.

Day 5

After breakfast, the Nile cruise will finish, but there are still many surprises and attractions to be discovered. First, we'll drive from Aswan to the symbolic Abu Simbel Temple. The stone giants with the busts of Ramses II are not the only emblems inside the temple. The giant sculptures carved in the annex of the Nefertari Temple are also important. After enjoying free time in the afternoon, we'll attend a dinner with a sound and light show over Abu Simbel.

The day will end as we start with a 3-day cruise on Lake Nasser.

Day 6

Qasr Ibrim, the citadel on the shores of Lake Nasser, will be the first stop on a tour. Then, we'll continue with a visit to the Amada Temple, considered the oldest Egyptian ruin in Nubia. To complete the day, we'll also visit the Derr Temple and the ruins of the tomb of Pennut, a prominent governor in the time of Ramses IV (12th century BC). His story will accompany us on our return to the ship.

Day 7

We'll continue this all-inclusive cruise on Lake Nasser towards Wadi el Sebowa to visit the Dakka and Mahrakka Temples, locations full of mystery! Afterwards, we'll return to the boat to eat and head towards Aswan.

Day 8

We'll land on the island of the Kalabsha Temple to see the remains of the Kertasi Temple, whose history, like that of many of the ancient buildings in this area of Egypt, is not without legend. After the tour of the island, we'll go to the nearby airport of Aswan to take a flight to Cairo. In just an hour and a half, we'll be in the Egyptian capital! From the terminal, we'll go to a hotel in the city to rest until the next day.

Day 9

After breakfast at the hotel, we'll go to the famous Giza Pyramids. Finally, one of the highlights of the tour arrives, the imposing Cheops, Kefren and Mycerinos mausoleums. We'll visit the interior of the second one to learn more about the pompous funeral rites of the ancient pharaohs, as well as the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza.

After the 3-hour guided tour of Giza, we'll visit a papyrus school to learn about the elaboration process of this famous monument. Afterward, we'll take a break for lunch at a local restaurant. Then, we'll go to the necropolis of ancient Saqqara to visit the Zoser pyramid. To finish the day, we'll enjoy dinner in a restaurant in Cairo before returning to the hotel.

Day 10

We'll dedicate this day to a tour of Cairo. The tour includes the Egyptian Museum, the Coptic Quarter, the Citadel of Saladin, and the Alabaster Mosque. This unforgettable memory of the Egyptian capital will be completed with lunch and dinner in a local restaurant!

Day 11

Three hours before your flight departure, we'll take you to the airport in Cairo so that you can check in and board without any hassle or hurry.

What Do I Need?

To participate in this multi-day tour, you only need to book a round-trip flight to and from Cairo. Please note that you must arrive on the day you have booked the tour, returning 11 days later. In between, everything is on us.

We'll adapt the different visits whenever possible so that you can fully enjoy everything included in this Egypt Tour Package.

Departure Days

The direct flight between Cairo and Luxor included in this tour package only operates on Mondays. Therefore, if you choose a Monday as your departure day, the order of the tour will be the one described in the itinerary.

If you choose a Friday, for example, the order of the itinerary will change: first, the three nights in Cairo, then the three-night cruise on the Nasser Lake, and finally, the four-night cruise on the Nile River. The tour will end in Luxor. We'll take you to the terminal so you can take the flight back to Cairo Airport, the endpoint.

Depending on the day of your arrival, you may visit Cairo first and then do the cruise, or vice versa.

All-Inclusive

Everything is included in the price: visa, domestic flights, transport, hotels, boats, lunches, dinners, breakfasts, guides, excursions, visits, entrance fees (except admission to the Great Pyramid of Keops), and even tips.

Other agencies don't include everything, so their final price can double, and it's almost impossible to compare it with our price.

Con respecto al viaje realizado a Egipto desde el día 15 al 25 de diciembre de 2023, Balance general muy favorable. Correo detallado enviado a DUNAS TRAVEL Día 18: La solución acordada por ambas partes debido a la anulación del segundo crucero por el Lago Nasser fue positiva, pero hay que intentar que no se den situaciones de este tipo. NEGATIVO: No pudimos comer al mediodía (solo un bocadillo en el aeropuerto) Hay que organizar mejor. Translate this opinion into English.

Regarding the trip to Egypt from December 15 to 25, 2023, very favorable overall balance. Detailed email sent to DUNAS TRAVEL Day 18: The solution agreed upon by both parties due to the cancellation of the second cruise on Lake Nasser was positive, but we must try to prevent situations of this type from occurring. NEGATIVE: We couldn't eat at noon (only a sandwich at the airport) We need to organize better. Opinion translated. Show original.

Positivo: la amabilidad del personal en los cruceros, y los diferentes guías (sobre todo Tamer, en El Cairo, excepcional). En lo negativo, a nuestra llegada a El Cairo no fue nadie a recibirnos.. Luego en Luxor tampoco había nadie con nuestro nombre o el de la agencia, y tuvimos que dar varias vueltas y esperar bastante tiempo para encontrar a quien nos llevó al barco. Y el ritmo de visitas es excesivo a veces: si hay que madrugar tanto deberíamos poder acostarnos antes. Translate this opinion into English.

Positive: the friendliness of the staff on the cruises, and the different guides (especially Tamer, in Cairo, exceptional). On the negative side, when we arrived in Cairo, no one was to receive us. Then in Luxor there was no one with our name or that of the agency, and we had to go around several times and wait a long time to find who took us to the ship. . And the rate of visits is excessive at times: if we have to get up so early we should be able to go to bed earlier. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo salió como estaba programado. Servicio y guías de indudable profesionalidad. Estaría bien, no obstante, que Civitatis se ocupara de hablar con quien corresponda para resolver el tema de las propinas. Si, como era nuestro caso, el contrato contempla por escrito, que están incluidas todas las propinas, resulta ligeramente incómodo que algunos guías te la pidan -obviando además que es un gesto voluntario- y que parezcan ignorar las cláusulas de los contratos de cada cliente.. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything went as scheduled. Service and guides of unquestionable professionalism. It would be nice, however, if Civitatis were to take the time to speak with the appropriate party to resolve the issue of tips. If, as was our case, the contract contemplates in writing, that all tips are included, it is slightly uncomfortable that some guides ask you for it -also that it is a voluntary gesture- and that they seem to ignore the clauses of the contracts of each client ..

Complessivamente la vacanza si è svolta molto bene. Tutto il personale è stato estremamente attento e professionale, sin dall'arrivo in aereoporto, durante ogni fase della vacanza e fino alla ripartenza, in particolare al momento del controllo passaporti. Ho avuto la percezione di essere seguito e accuidito in modo puntuale. I servizi a bordo delle navi sono stati di un livello eccellente, soprattutto durante la crociera sul Lago Nasser. Le guide sono state sempre professionali e disponibili
