Move from the wind-scoured Giza Plateau to Luxor’s temple avenues and finish with Red Sea beaches in Hurghada. This five-day private tour pairs guided archaeology with time to unwind by coral reefs.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Sunlight slices the Giza Plateau as you step from the shaded berth of a private vehicle onto wind-polished sand; the pyramids loom like carved mountains against a blue Cairo sky and the air smells faintly of spice and diesel. Over the next five days you'll move from city streets to desert necropolises, then downriver to Luxor's temple fields and finally to the coral-shelf hush of the Red Sea at Hurghada.
