Best of Cairo Tour from Luxor with Sleeping Train Tickets

Experience the best of Cairo on this hassle-free tour that handles all transportation and activities, letting you fully enjoy the beauty, history, and culture of Egypt's vibrant capital. Your journey begins with a complimentary evening pickup from your accommodation in Luxor and a comfortable transfer to the train station to board the overnight sleeper train—an added adventure in itself.

Arriving at Giza the next morning, you'll be greeted by a local representative and your Egyptologist guide, ready to lead you through an unforgettable day. Head straight to the Giza Plateau to explore the legendary Pyramids, the last standing wonder of the Ancient World. Stand before these timeless monuments as your guide shares their fascinating history, mysteries, and engineering marvels.

Afterwards, relax and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before your next highlight: the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Overlooking the Giza Plateau, the GEM is Egypt's newest and largest cultural landmark. Wander through its spectacular halls filled with thousands of artefacts, including the complete treasures of King Tutankhamun displayed together for the first time. Discover colossal statues, royal relics, and immersive exhibits that bring 5,000 years of history to life.

At the end of the day, return to the train station for your sleeper-train journey back to Luxor, followed by a comfortable drop-off at your hotel. Enjoy Cairo in comfort, depth, and style—all in one seamless experience.
