5 Days Private Tour: Luxor, Old Cairo, Giza Pyramids & Alexandria
About this tour
The same route as our four-day tour with a fifth day added, and that day changes it considerably — it is the difference between seeing Cairo and passing through it.
You begin in Luxor with the temples and the Valley of the Kings, fly north for Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum, and give a full day to Alexandria and the Mediterranean.
The fourth day is the one the shorter tours cut: the Citadel of Saladin and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali in the morning, then down into Old Cairo for the Hanging Church and the Coptic quarter, at a pace that lets you actually sit down somewhere.
Hotel with daily breakfast, an English-speaking guide, private transport throughout, a Nile dinner cruise, taxes and visa on arrival. You fly home from Cairo on day five.

Questions people ask before booking
Is this a private tour, or will I be sharing it?
Private. The guide, the driver and the vehicle are yours alone, and no other travellers join. You set the pace at each site and you can change the order of the day as you go, because nobody else is waiting in the car.
Are entrance fees included, or do I pay at each site?
Entrance tickets are not in the tour price for this itinerary. They are paid at each site on the day, in Egyptian pounds, and your guide will tell you the current price before you buy so there are no surprises at the gate. Everything else quoted to you is fixed in writing before you travel.
Will you collect me from my hotel?
Yes. Transfers are part of this tour, including meeting you on arrival. Send your flight details and hotel when you book and the driver will be there — Gulf flights often land early, and the day is planned around your actual arrival time.
Will the driver stop for prayer, and can lunch be halal?
Yes to both. Tell your guide at pickup and the day is arranged around prayer times, with a stop at a mosque when you need one. Meals are at local restaurants where halal is the norm rather than a special request — say so when booking and it is confirmed in advance.
Do I need a visa for Egypt?
It depends on the passport you hold, not on where you live. Requirements, fees and processing times are set by the Egyptian government and change without notice, so check the official portal at visa2egypt.gov.eg or the Egyptian Consulate in Dubai for your own nationality. Our Egypt visa guide for UAE residents explains the routes and the traps.
How do I get a price for this tour?
Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and how many people are travelling, and you get one total price in writing before you commit, covering the whole itinerary. Because the vehicle and guide are priced for the party rather than per head, a family of four pays far less per person than a couple. Nothing is added afterwards.
