Arrive in Egypt: Meet and Assist

Explore the Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, GEM, and Bazaar

Pyramids of Giza - The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx are not only top attractions in Egypt but are also must-see ancient monuments. The Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx are perhaps the most renowned ancient sites globally and the only remaining wonder of the Ancient Seven Wonders of the World. A trip to Egypt is incomplete without visiting the Pyramids of Giza. Even if you have visited Egypt multiple times, the Pyramids and the Sphinx at the base of the Giza plateau are iconic images of Egypt. Don’t forget to capture a photo in front of the Pyramids and Sphinx.

Grand Egyptian Museum - Situated near the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum is one of the largest archaeological museums worldwide. It showcases over 100,000 artifacts from Egypt’s history, ranging from prehistoric times to the Greco-Roman period.

The museum’s highlight is the complete collection of Tutankhamun, displayed for the first time. Visitors can also admire colossal statues, royal mummies, jewelry, and reliefs that narrate the story of ancient Egypt. Its modern design, Grand Staircase, and glass façade offer breathtaking views of the pyramids, making it a world-class cultural landmark.

Khan Al-Khalili - Enjoy the historic bazaar of Cairo.

Cruise the Nile from Aswan: Visit Philae Island

Temple of Philae - The Temples of Philae, located 12 kilometers south of Aswan, are among Nubia’s most significant monument sites. This ancient pilgrimage center for the cult of Isis has captivated travelers for centuries. Revered from the Pharaonic era through the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods, each ruler left their mark on the stones here. Saved from submersion by UNESCO’s rescue project, which relocated the monuments block by block from Philae Island to Agilika Island, the temples continue to enchant all who visit.

Discover the Temples of the Nile: Kom Ombo & Edfu

Temple of Kom Ombo - The Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. Constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BC, the southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, the god of fertility and creator of the world, along with Hathor and Khonsu.

Temple of Horus - Built between 237 and 57 BC, this Ptolemaic temple is one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient monuments. Preserved by desert sand after the pagan cult was banned, the temple is dedicated to Horus, the avenging son of Isis and Osiris. With its roof intact, it remains one of the most atmospheric ancient buildings.

Discover Luxor’s Treasures: Valley of the Kings & Temples of Karnak & Luxor

Valley of the Kings - Visit Luxor’s premier site, the Valley of the Kings, the burial place of ancient kings. Explore three tombs, with your guide recommending the most impressive ones.

Colossi of Memnon - Pass by the ruins of the great temple of King Amonhotep III and the Colossi of Memnon. Capture some photos before returning to your cruise.

Temple of Karnak - Karnak Temple is a vast temple complex in Luxor, primarily dedicated to Amun, dating back to as early as 2000 BC. It is an awe-inspiring sight, second only to the Great Pyramids in popularity.

Luxor Temple - Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex on the east bank of the Nile River in the city now known as Luxor, constructed around 1400 BCE. In the Egyptian language, it is known as ipet resyt, “the southern sanctuary.”

Best trip ever - Randa was the best tour guide ever? This has been a trip of a lifetime and it was made better by Randa her knowledge, her expertise on the history and the knowledge of Egyptian culture as well as the Muslim connections with Christianity was wonderful. I would highly recommend Miranda at any time her passion for what she does stand out above all else, she is in love with Egypt and all of the history and you can see that when she talks Best trip ever

excellent tour - The tour was very enjoyable. I was agreeably surprised by the hotel accommodation, which was universally excellent. The airport transfers were amazing, the best I have experienced. All Look at Egypt Tours staff were excellent -always pleasant and courteous and making sure they did a good job. Our tour guide Randa was brilliant. Her passion for her country and for the treasures of Egypt was always present; she was funny but immensely knowledgeable and always energetic. I enjoyed the craft centers that we visited. I am not a "tour person" but the group and look at Egypt tours team made it work and gave me a positive experience. Thank you very much look at Egypt tours.

Excellent Tour! - This was an excellent tour, put together with much care (as we wanted to add some extras). Mr Alfattah, as well as our two guides, went above and beyond to help us enjoy our time, learn a LOT, and feel safe. Our guides were very knowledgeable and all they shared about history, culture, and customs was fascinating. They were also very flexible with times and trying to work in little things we wanted to do. They were also great and patient photographers! :) A few examples of the personal touch: my luggage got lost and, though I was without it for most of the trip, Mr Alfattah gave me some money to get a few necessities, even though it was not at all Look at Egypt’s fault. Also, due to some govt things going on, out itinerary had to be changed and it looked like we might miss a couple of things. But again, even though it wasn’t their fault, they went the extra mile to make sure we did see those things. My daughter turned 34 on this trip and they made sure the cruise people knew about it so they planned a birthday dinner celebration that night in the dining room! We had wanted to see Egypt for several years and it didn’t disappoint. I think it is important to know that we felt very safe, as a lot of people are afraid to go there due to fears of terrorism in Arabic countries. Go with Look at Egypt - I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Don't hesitate to book this trip! - We were a little hesitant to book this trip because of the lack of reviews. Reviews on amazon pretty much dictate what I buy and this trip only had one review when we booked it. But in all seriousness do not hesitate to book this trip. We stumbled upon this trip while searching viator and decided to take a chance. Let me start off by saying the people in this company are what made this trip. Of course the sites are great but the tour guides were amazing. Very down to earth funny friendly people. The kind of people I would hang out with at home. From the first guide we met at the airport to the last guide who dropped us off at the airport it was a great experience. The trip started off great and one of the guides met us inside the airport before we cleared customs. It was unique to us in that the airport actually let the guides come past security to help us secure our visas. The hotels that were selected for us were all very clean and safe. Metal detectors were located at each hotel and I never felt unsafe at any part during the trip. Especially in light of recent events in Morocco I think people traveling to this part of the world might be concerned about safety. We stayed in pretty frequented areas by tourists and never felt the least bit uncomfortable. The tour group did everything they could to accommodate us and help us get the most out of our time in Egypt. This included one super early flight where we had to leave the hotel at 4am and missed one of our included breakfasts. We mentioned this to one of our guides after how hungry we were because we didn't get breakfast that morning. He said the hotel should have prepared a boxed breakfast for us. He reported this to the owner of the company and we received a personal call from him apologizing to us and even bought us a round of drinks that night to help make up for the missed breakfast. I thought this tour covered all the major highlights of Egypt that I have always wanted to see. We did a few of the extra tours. I'm gonna be honest I probably wouldn't do the light show at the pyramids again. It is not a light show like we think of light shows in the states. There were no lasers, fog machines, or rock and roll. It was more of something you'd see in grade school with lights projected onto the pyramids and a few images projected with a narrator that tells the story of the pharaohs. The food was good. The meals that were included exceeded our expectations but the bar had been set pretty low by our last viator tour to the Galapagos where I would have given that trip a one star for food. Get all the cool pictures you've been dreaming of posting to social media on this trip. This was a wonderful trip to see a lot of Egypt in a short amount of time. If you are on the fence I would say just take the plunge and book this trip. If you have more or less time I would not hesitate booking another tour with this company because they were great!

The description of this tour doesnt... - <p>The description of this tour doesnt do it justice! The tour company was by far the best weve had! They picked us up at the airport on the way to baggage claim, arranged our visas for us, Helped us get our bags, and got us into the hotel without us having to worry about a thing! Same on getting us to the airport and to Aswan and to the Cruise ship. The guide for the sites when the ship docked was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating! Giving us all the time we needed to further look at the temples, Valley of the Kings, and also taking time to tell us about the history and the current culture as well. Not to mention how awesome the guide we had for the day in Cairo was - it will leave you wanting to spend more time at the siteswhich we did. I have to say, as someone used to traveling the world and winging it with just a day trip arrange here and a day trip arranged there, I was very glad to have this tour and them help us navigate the local systems etc! For a first time trip to Egypt, Id say this is a must. For a repeat visit to Egypt, Id still highly recommend this tour - easy, friendly, knowledgeable and fun!</p>
