7-Day Egypt Easter Holiday: Cairo, Luxor, Aswan & Alexandria

After breakfast, today is about seeing Egypt more deeply. Your day begins at the Pyramids of Giza, where the size, silence, and history of the place speak for themselves. Standing on the plateau, it’s easy to understand why these monuments have amazed travelers for thousands of years.

Walk around, taking time beside the Great Pyramid, then stand before the Great Sphinx, watching quietly over the desert. Nearby, visit the Valley Temple, where important ceremonies once took place for Egypt’s kings. The atmosphere here feels calm and meaningful.

From the ancient world, the story continues indoors at the Grand Egyptian Museum. This modern space presents Egypt’s story clearly and powerfully, with wide galleries, iconic statues, and treasures displayed with space and care, making the past easy to understand and appreciate.

Return to your hotel in the evening with a deeper understanding of Egypt’s history and a full day of unforgettable moments behind you.

After breakfast, check out of your hotel and head to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor. As the plane heads south, the scenery changes, and you arrive in a city where history feels close and alive.

When you arrive in Luxor, you’ll begin exploring the West Bank, the ancient burial ground of Egypt’s greatest kings and queens. Your first stop is the Valley of the Kings, where royal tombs were carved deep into the mountains. Inside, colorful wall paintings tell stories of the afterlife and ancient beliefs that have survived for thousands of years.

Continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, built directly into the cliffs. The temple feels open and elegant, and its design stands out from all other temples in Egypt. It also tells the story of a powerful queen who ruled with confidence and vision.

Before lunch, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two huge statues standing quietly in the fields, reminding visitors of the size and strength of ancient Egypt.

After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, take some time to relax before heading to Luxor Temple in the evening. Visiting the temple at night is a special experience, with soft lights highlighting the columns and statues, creating a calm and almost magical feeling.

After your evening visit, transfer to your hotel in Luxor for check-in and rest.

After breakfast, check out from your hotel in Luxor and begin your journey south toward Aswan. Today is about seeing Egypt as it unfolds along the Nile, following the same river that shaped ancient Egyptian life for thousands of years. The day focuses on two temples built directly on the riverbanks.

Your first stop is Edfu Temple, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon god, the temple feels powerful and complete, with tall walls and clear carvings that tell stories of ancient rituals and beliefs. Walking through its halls gives you a strong sense of how temples were used thousands of years ago.

Continue driving along the Nile to Kom Ombo Temple, a unique double temple built to honor two gods, Sobek and Horus the Elder. Sitting directly on the riverbank, the setting here is peaceful and scenic. 

Take time to enjoy the views of the Nile while exploring the temple’s symmetrical design and detailed reliefs, which show ancient medical tools and practices, offering rare insight into everyday knowledge in ancient Egypt.

By late afternoon, arrive in Aswan, a city known for its calm atmosphere and natural beauty. Check in to your hotel and enjoy a relaxed evening, feeling the slower rhythm of southern Egypt after a full day of discovery.

After breakfast, start your day with a boat ride to Philae Temple, one of the most peaceful sites in Aswan. Set on an island in the Nile, the temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis and feels quiet and calm, surrounded by water and greenery. Walking through the temple is an easy, relaxed experience and a gentle way to begin the day.

From Aswan, continue south to Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s most impressive sights. The huge temples, carved directly into the rock, were built by Ramses II and still feel powerful today. As you explore, you’ll hear how the temples were moved stone by stone to save them from rising waters, a story that adds even more meaning to the visit.

Later in the day, return to Aswan Airport for your flight back to Cairo. Once you arrive, transfer to your hotel and enjoy a calm evening after a day filled with powerful history and meaningful moments.

After breakfast, travel from Cairo to Alexandria, a city with a very different feeling from the capital. The drive takes you toward the Mediterranean coast, where the atmosphere becomes more relaxed and history feels closely connected to the sea.

Start your visit at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an underground burial site that blends Egyptian, Greek, and Roman styles. Walking through its tunnels gives you a clear sense of how cultures mixed in ancient Alexandria.

Continue to Pompey’s Pillar, a tall Roman column that still stands as a reminder of the city’s past. From here, continue to the Qaitbay Citadel, built on the same site where the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood. From here, enjoy fresh sea air and lovely views of the Mediterranean, a refreshing contrast to Egypt’s desert landscapes.

After lunch at a local restaurant, end your day at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern library inspired by the ancient center of learning that once made Alexandria famous. The building itself is impressive, and the atmosphere inside feels calm and thoughtful, reflecting the city’s long connection to knowledge and culture.

In the evening, return to Cairo with a new perspective on Egypt, shaped by the sea, history, and changing landscapes.
