Sharm El Sheikh: Cairo & Luxor 2-Day Tour by Plane

Egypt's two greatest ancient wonders — the Pyramids of Giza and the royal tombs of Luxor — are brought together in this extraordinary two-day journey from Sharm El Sheikh by domestic flight. Day one launches with an early morning flight to Cairo, where an expert Egyptologist guide meets you at the airport. You head directly to the Giza Plateau, standing before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure — three of the most awe-inspiring structures ever built by human hands. The Great Sphinx watches over the plateau with inscrutable calm. Next you visit the Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, the world's oldest stone structure, and the ancient burial ground at Memphis with its colossal statue of Ramesses II. An overnight stay in a comfortable Cairo hotel is included, giving you time to enjoy a Nile-side dinner at leisure. Day two travels south by air to Luxor, often called the world's greatest open-air museum. Your guide escorts you through the legendary Valley of the Kings, where the elaborately decorated tombs of pharaohs — including the iconic tomb of Tutankhamun — were hidden for millennia. You then visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, carved dramatically into the cliff face, and the Colossi of Memnon before your afternoon flight returns you to Sharm, overwhelmed with the grandeur of ancient Egypt.
