Dawn in Hurghada gives way to airport lights and the rush of an early domestic flight; within hours the limestone silhouettes of Giza loom, and later the Nile unrolls past Luxor’s temple colonnades. This two-day private tour stitches Egypt’s most iconic sites into a focused itinerary: the three Great Pyramids and the Sphinx in Cairo, the Egyptian Museum’s Tutankhamun treasures, then an overnight transfer to Luxor to walk Karnak, cross the Nile by felucca, and descend into the Valley of the Kings.
