Egypt Day Tours & Excursions
See the wonders of Egypt in a single day — private excursions from Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El Sheikh, with hotel pickup and a licensed Egyptologist.
Discover the wonders of Egypt in a day
You don’t need a two-week itinerary to stand in front of the Pyramids. Our day tours and excursions are private, flexible and run daily — pickup from your hotel, port or airport, and back the same evening.
Our packages are carefully designed around Egypt’s greatest attractions and experiences: the magnificent Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, and the beaches and reefs of the Red Sea.
With our guided Egypt tours you can choose from a range of itineraries to suit your interests — history, family travel, honeymoon, adventure or pure relaxation — all led by expert, government-licensed Egyptologist guides.
Our pyramids and ancient-site tours go deeper than the guidebook, thanks to guides who genuinely bring the history to life rather than reciting a script. And it isn’t only about the monuments: camel rides, felucca sailing, Nubian villages, local food and markets are all part of the experience.
Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, with family or as a group, tell us your dates and we’ll build the itinerary around you — and confirm availability and the exact price before you pay anything.

What our travellers say
Day tours FAQ
What are the must-visit places in Egypt?
Most first trips cover Cairo (the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum), Luxor (Karnak, Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings) and Aswan (Philae Temple and Abu Simbel). Add the Red Sea for beaches and diving, or Alexandria for Greco-Roman history.
What are Egypt's visa requirements?
Most nationalities can get a visa on arrival at Egyptian airports, or apply online for an e-visa before travelling. We confirm the current requirement for your specific passport when you book, and our team meets you at the airport to help with the process.
When is the best time to visit Egypt?
October to April is peak season — warm days, cool evenings and comfortable sightseeing. Summer (May–September) is considerably hotter, but far quieter and noticeably cheaper, and works well if you build in early starts and Red Sea time.
Is it safe to travel in Egypt?
Yes. The main tourist regions are well policed and we operate there daily. Every EZ Tour Egypt package is private — your own guide and driver throughout — and our local team is reachable on WhatsApp 24/7 during your trip.
How much does an Egypt vacation cost?
It depends on duration, hotel standard and whether you include a Nile cruise or domestic flights. Our packages currently start around $350 for a short private tour and run to $2,750 for an 18-day journey. Every quote is itemised before you pay.
Are your private tours suitable for families and large groups?
Absolutely. Because every tour is private, we adjust the pace for children, older travellers or mixed-age groups — shorter site visits, later starts, and vehicles sized to your party. Family packages are one of our most requested types.
