7 Day Itinerary Egypt Tours – Cairo, Fayoum Oasis, Luxor, Aswan & Abu Simbel Adventure
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with our 7 Day Itinerary Egypt Tours, a private and expertly guided journey through Egypt’s most iconic and hidden treasures. This immersive experience takes you from the bustling streets of Cairo to the serene temples of Luxor, the Nubian charm of Aswan, and the majestic monuments of Abu Simbel. Designed for travelers who seek depth, authenticity, and comfort, this tour blends ancient history, natural beauty, and vibrant culture in one unforgettable itinerary.
Your journey begins with a scenic escape to Fayoum Oasis, a protected natural reserve southwest of Cairo. You’ll explore Wadi El Rayan, home to Egypt’s only waterfalls, formed by the overflow of agricultural water. The area offers stunning desert landscapes, serene lakes, and the legendary Birket Qarun, once known as Lake Moeris. You’ll visit Mudawara Mountain and the Magic Lake, both offering surreal views and peaceful surroundings. Fayoum was once called Crocodilopolis, a city where crocodiles were worshipped and adorned with gold—your guide will share these fascinating stories as you explore. A late lunch is served at a quality local restaurant before returning to Cairo.
Next, you’ll fly to Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes, where the West Bank reveals its hidden treasures. You’ll visit the Valley of the Kings, including the lesser-known but spectacular Tomb of Khaemwaset, son of Ramesses III. Explore Deir el-Bahari, home to tombs not typically included in standard tours, and stand before the towering Colossi of Memnon. In the afternoon, you’ll visit the majestic Luxor Temple, followed by a stroll through the local market (Souk), where authentic crafts and spices await—far from the tourist crowds.
Your fourth day takes you to Abydos and Dendera, two of Egypt’s most beautifully preserved temple complexes. At Abydos, you’ll explore the Temple of Seti I, known for its exquisite hieroglyphs, and the mysterious underground Osireion, believed to be a symbolic tomb of Osiris. The ancient cemetery of Abydos offers insight into early dynastic burials. In the afternoon, you’ll visit the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, a stunning Ptolemaic structure with vibrant original colors still visible. Don’t miss the Dendera Zodiac, a replica of the famous astronomical ceiling (the original is housed in the Louvre), and explore the temple’s underground crypts. You’ll spend the night in Luxor.
On day five, you’ll dive deeper into Luxor’s West Bank. Visit the Tomb of Sennedjem, a perfectly preserved burial site of a royal craftsman, and explore the Workers’ Village at Deir el-Medina, where the tomb builders lived. Discover Medinet Habu, Ramesses III’s mortuary temple, known for its vivid reliefs and peaceful atmosphere. You’ll also visit the Tombs of the Nobles, including Rekhmire and Sennofer, which depict scenes of daily life in astonishing detail. In the afternoon, explore the vast Karnak Temple, followed by a city tour before heading south.
From Luxor, you’ll travel to Aswan, stopping en route to visit the Temple of Edfu and Kom Ombo, two remarkable temples along the Nile. In Aswan, you’ll explore Elephantine Island, the Nubian Museum, and the Unfinished Obelisk, which reveals ancient stone-carving techniques. Visit the Fatimid Cemetery, a hilltop site with beautiful Islamic tombstones, and shop at Souk el-Arab, a traditional market full of spices and crafts. In the evening, enjoy a felucca ride to Lord Kitchener Island, followed by a cultural evening in a Nubian village, featuring music, dance, and henna painting. You’ll stay overnight in a traditional Nubian guesthouse.
Your final day takes you to the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel, where you’ll arrive early to explore the temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari before the crowds. Visit the Sound and Light Show preparation area, then continue to New Kalabsha, a relocated temple often overlooked by tourists. Explore Beit el-Wali, a small but exquisite temple with vivid reliefs, and enjoy panoramic views of Lake Nasser and the High Dam, a marvel of modern engineering. Return to Aswan for a traditional farewell dinner at the historic Sofra Restaurant, then fly back to Cairo.
Throughout your 7 Day Itinerary Egypt Tours, you’ll enjoy private transportation, expert multilingual guides, entry to all listed sites, daily lunches, and authentic cultural experiences. Whether you’re fascinated by ancient tombs, enchanted by desert oases, or drawn to Nubian heritage, this tour offers a complete and unforgettable journey through Egypt’s soul.

EXCELLENT Based on 451 reviews Posted on Dreamer24089257191Verified Great shopping experience Hussein was so nice and patient as we went round all the stops. He never rushed me and even bought me snacks alomg the way. Thank you to Sofy Egypt for being so understanding about my plans and to Hussein as well.Posted on marconicolaVerified visit with excellent guide Visit to the GEM very interesting, accompanied by a very competent guide who told us the secrets of ancient Egypt and accompanied us to the most interesting points of the museum.Posted on Paolo da GenovaVerified Fantastic day in Cairo A fantastic day to discover the truest Cairo, off the usual tourist routes with the excellent guide Yasser Khallaf, competent, helpful and friendly, introduced us to wonderful and unexpected corners. Absolutely recommendedPosted on 74alle74Verified Let us accompany you!! My advice is to visit the museum with a guide, as it is really big and turn it around randomly does not make much sense. We had the well-prepared Yasser called Felice from Sofy tours who guided us in the most representative areas without wasting our time, explaining the story in detail and leaving us at the end time to take pictures. He is very cheerful and nice but at the same time cultured and professional, he also introduced us to local experiences not provided for in the program. Top!Posted on Samantha SVerified Cairo Pyramids Gem Our guide Giustino explained everything to us exhaustively. It's a serious and helpful guidePosted on Luisa MVerified 🤩 Short but intense visit. The GEM is a must-see show! He deserves the trip alone! Assisted by a guide is certainly more appreciable.Posted on Elijah GVerified Amazing experience! The whole crew was amazing. We sang. We drank tea. We learned about the Nile. The crew was helpful with pictures and told us about Egyptian history.Posted on Leelakanti RVerified Cairo They did an awesome tour for us. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. They shared lots of information. They were also very friendly and helpful. I was travelling with my mother and they took very good care of us. We had a driver by the name of Ahmed. He was simply amazing. The 2 days with him was so fun. They are all so down to earth. They love their job and are amazing at it.Posted on HotelDiana39Verified Recommend Well organized, the guide Leyla is very professional and prepared, she guided us perfectly among the historical beauties of Cairo. We woudl book it againPosted on kumarkmitraVerified A Day well spent in Giza covering the Pyramids, Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. We had a fabulous day as we spent the first half of the day visiting the Pyramids & the Sphinx. Our guide Adel was very nice, and he explained the history of the Pyramids very well. Our second part of the day was in the Grand Egyptian Museum which again was awesome. Unfortunately, we ran out of time. The choice of lunch and 2 other local attractions we visited on the recommendation of Adel was also very interesting. I would say it was thoughtful of him to take us there. Our guide also took good pictures of all of us.Would recommend Sofy Tours to others. Knowledgeable guides who are well behaved and well informed.Showing our latest reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

I would recommend Sofy Egypt Tours for everyone travelling to Egypt. High quality tours and staff. We booked their fayoum all inclusive day tour and it was the best thing we did in Egypt. The sandboarding, the 4x4 safari, magic lake, whale fossils and lunch were all amazing. We even needed to make some changes to our itinerary and Sofy Egypt tours were so flexible and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had the pleasure of having Hany and Ahmed on our tour. They made the trip so fun and enjoyable. My kids will never forget this wonderful experience. Thank you so much.Posted on Jorge VillasmilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our guide Abdul was outstanding—professional, informative, and very personable. He shared fascinating details about Egypt’s history and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. The driver was fantastic as well, navigating Cairo confidently and keeping us safe at all times. We felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed the experience. We would happily recommend Sofy Egypt Tour to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality tour in Cairo.Posted on Aimee WelshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The tour company went out of their way to schedule us a last-minute half-day tour of the grand Egyptian museum with lunch at a restaurant with a great view of the pyramids. this made our unexpected 10 hour layover, very enjoyable and productive. Our guide Abdul was extremely knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history, and was enthusiastic and fun. He took us to all the important artifacts in the grand Museum so we could make the best use of our limited time and energy. Our driver Ahmed was thoughtful and got a safe flight around a very busy Cairo.Posted on Valarie KuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our Guide Abdul not only showed us the highlights and the local culture, but he also was kind enough to take amazing photos of us thanks to Sofy Tours Egypt and Abdul for a great time in Cairo!Posted on Belinda YeoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
