5 days Egypt tour with Memphis Tours is the most efficient and rewarding way to experience the two greatest cities in ancient Egyptian history. This expertly crafted 5-day trip to Egypt begins in Cairo, where you explore the Great Pyramids of Giza — the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World — alongside the iconic Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, home to Tutankhamun's legendary golden treasures. From Cairo, you fly south to Luxor, the world's greatest open-air museum. Here your private Egyptologist guide leads you through the towering hypostyle columns of Karnak Temple, the ceremonial avenues of Luxor Temple, the royal necropolis of the Valley of the Kings, the breathtaking Hatshepsut Temple at Deir El-Bahari, and the twin Colossi of Memnon.
