FAQs: Planning Your 5-Day Egypt Tour

What can I do in 5 days in Egypt?

The best thing to do if you only have 5 days in Egypt would be to book a Nile River cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Alternatively, spend 2 days sightseeing in Cairo and a day or two sightseeing in Luxor.

What to see in Egypt in 5 days?

Visit the Giza Pyramids & Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Step Pyramid while in Cairo, then travel to Luxor for the Valley of Kings, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and Hatshepsut Temple.

Is a 5-day trip to Egypt enough?

While you won’t see it all, 5 days is enough to experience some of Egypt’s most iconic sites in comfort and style.

How many days do I need to really experience Egypt?

To get the most out of a trip to Egypt, we would recommend visiting for 8 days or more. However, if you only want to see a few of the country’s top ancient sites, then 5 days should be adequate.

Are Nile cruise excursions private?

No, Nile cruise excursions are guided in small groups (maximum 12 guests). However, all other touring outside the cruise is private unless otherwise specified.
