What to expect

If you want to explore Cairo but without the stress of planning and organizing your transportation and activities, then this is the tour for you. You'll discover the beauty, history and culture that fills the city and check out its many incredible monuments.

Start with an evening pickup from your accommodation in Luxor to the train station and get on the night seating train. Drop off at Giza train station after an overnight journey and get welcomed by the representative of the local operator and your Egyptologist. Feel the atmosphere of Cairo City, as you head to Giza Pyramids, the last remaining wonder of the Ancient World.

Now, it is time to stretch your legs and enjoy a lunch buffet onboard a floating restaurant on the River Nile. After lunch, you’re in for a treat with the next stop at the Egyptian Museum. With over 100 exhibition galleries inside, it’s home to the world’s biggest collection of Egyptian artefacts. Wander past statues, artefacts, and relics that’ll give you the inside scoop into the daily life and religious practices of past civilizations from thousands of years ago.

Drive back to the train station and take the night train back to Luxor, followed by a transfer to your hotel.
