The 9 Days in Egypt Package by Bastet Travel is the most complete Egypt Tour Package for travelers who refuse to choose between ancient history and coastal luxury combining the Pyramids of Giza, a 3-night Nile Cruise, the temples of Upper Egypt, and 3 nights on Hurghada's Red Sea in a single seamlessly guided journey.
The ancient scent of incense still clings to the walls of Karnak Temple, the call to prayer echoes across Islamic Cairo's medieval skyline, and the Red Sea dissolves into fifty shades of blue beyond Hurghada's shoreline the 9 Days in Egypt Package is the only Egypt Tour Package that places all three of these worlds within a single, expertly structured journey. Beginning in Cairo with the legendary Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square and the towering mass of the Great Pyramids of Giza, the itinerary moves south by flight to Aswan, boards a luxury Nile Cruise for three nights of full-board sailing through the temples of Upper Egypt, and then transitions east to Hurghada for three days of pure Red Sea relaxation. This is Egypt at its most complete ancient, cultural, and coastal, all in nine days.
What distinguishes the 9 Days in Egypt Package from any comparable Egypt Tour Package is the quality of its transitions. You do not simply move between cities you move between civilizations. Islamic Cairo gives way to the Pharaonic south; the Ptolemaic temples of Philae and Edfu give way to the New Kingdom necropolis of the Valley of the Kings; and the ancient world itself gives way to the crystal waters of the Red Sea at Hurghada. Every transfer is private and air-conditioned, every site visit is led by a licensed English-speaking Egyptologist, and every overnight whether in Cairo, on the Nile, or on the Red Sea coast reflects the premium hospitality standard that Bastet Travel applies to every Egypt Tour Package in its portfolio.
The 9 Days in Egypt Package opens in Cairo at the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar a 14th-century Mamluk market at the heart of Islamic Cairo then dedicates a full morning to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, housing over 120,000 authentic artifacts including the complete treasures of Tutankhamun, the most celebrated collection of any Egypt Tour Package in the world.
The 9 Days in Egypt Package delivers the Great Pyramids of Giza the Pyramid of Khufu (circa 2550 BC, originally 147 meters), the Pyramid of Khafre (2540 BC), and the Pyramid of Menkaure (26th century BC) alongside the Great Sphinx, forming the most iconic afternoon of any Egypt Tour Package in Cairo.
A full day in Islamic Cairo within the 9 Days in Egypt Package covers the Sultan Al-Rifa'i Mosque, the Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, and the Citadel of Saladin four medieval monuments representing over a thousand years of Islamic architectural heritage and cultural authority in this Egypt Tour Package.
In Aswan, the 9 Days in Egypt Package visits the Temple of Philae the last sanctuary built in the classical Egyptian style, dedicated to the goddess Isis and relocated to Agilkia Island in a landmark UNESCO rescue operation the opening temple chapter of this Egypt Tour Package's Nile Cruise sequence.
At Kom Ombo, the 9 Days in Egypt Package presents the Temple of Kom Ombo a uniquely symmetrical Ptolemaic sanctuary elevated above the Nile, with one half dedicated to the falcon-headed Haroeris and the other to the crocodile-headed Sobek one of the most architecturally distinctive stops in this Egypt Tour Package.
The 9 Days in Egypt Package docks at Edfu for the Temple of Edfu the best-preserved ancient temple in Egypt, a Ptolemaic sanctuary built between 246 BC and 57 BC and dedicated to the hawk-god Horus an essential landmark in any serious Egypt Tour Package sailing the River Nile.
On Luxor's East Bank, the 9 Days in Egypt Package visits Karnak Temple Complex the largest religious structure ever built, spanning over 200 acres and Luxor Temple, the New Kingdom sanctuary dedicated to Amun Ra at the heart of ancient Thebes, the two East Bank pillars of this Egypt Tour Package.
Crossing the Nile, the 9 Days in Egypt Package enters the Valley of the Kings the royal necropolis of over 63 New Kingdom tombs and the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, the two West Bank monuments that define the Pharaonic legacy at the heart of this Egypt Tour Package.
The 9 Days in Egypt Package closes with 3 nights at Hurghada including Jasmine Palace Resort or Fort Arabesque Resort with free days on the Red Sea coast, optional snorkeling, and boat trips to the Red Sea Islands, the restorative coastal finale of this Egypt Tour Package.
The 9 Days in Egypt Package resolves the question every Egypt traveler eventually faces: do you choose history or do you choose the beach? The answer, with Bastet Travel, is that you choose both and you do so without sacrificing quality in either direction. The ancient sites are visited with a licensed private Egyptologist, not a generalist guide; the Nile Cruise accommodation is full-board on a quality-graded vessel; and the Hurghada resort offers three nights of genuine coastal recovery after six days of cultural immersion. This is the Egypt Tour Package structure that works and the reason so many travelers who have done Egypt before choose the 9 Days in Egypt Package when they return.
There is a profound emotional shift that happens on the morning of Day 7, when you cross from the Valley of the Kings to the Red Sea coast from the world of the pharaohs to the world of the reef — and the 9 Days in Egypt Package is designed specifically to deliver that contrast at maximum impact. Three full days in Cairo's museums and medieval quarters give you the intellectual foundation. Three nights on the Nile give you the ancient river experience. Three nights in Hurghada give you the decompression. Every element of this Egypt Tour Package from the airport transfers to the full-board resort dining to the optional Red Sea Islands boat trip is handled in full by Bastet Travel, so you arrive at each stage of the journey present, rested, and ready.

The 9 Days in Egypt Package begins at Cairo International Airport, where a Bastet Travel representative meets every arriving guest and transfers them to the hotel by private air-conditioned vehicle. Guests arriving before 3:00 PM check into the hotel first before the group departs together at 6:30 PM for the first evening at Khan el-Khalili Bazaar — the 14th-century Mamluk market at the heart of Islamic Cairo, where narrow lantern-lit alleys, artisan workshops, and traditional cafés create a sensory introduction to Cairo that no museum can replicate. Guests arriving after 3:00 PM are transferred directly to the dinner venue at Khan el-Khalili. The entire group returns to the hotel together, closing the opening evening of this 9 Days in Egypt Package in the most atmospheric corner of the city. Overnight in Cairo.
After breakfast at the hotel, your Egyptologist guide escorts the group — in a private, air-conditioned vehicle — to begin the most landmark-dense day of your 9 Days in Egypt Package. The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square — the square that became the epicenter of Egypt's 25th January Revolution — houses over 120,000 authentic Pharaonic artifacts, anchored by the complete treasures of Tutankhamun: his gold burial mask, solid gold throne, canopic jars, and the full contents of the only intact royal tomb ever discovered in Egypt. After a lunch break, the group proceeds to the Giza Plateau — or, depending on Cairo traffic conditions, the visit order may be reversed — for a full visit to the Great Pyramid of Khufu (originally 147 meters, built circa 2550 BC), the Pyramid of Khafre (2540 BC), and the Pyramid of Menkaure (26th century BC), with the Great Sphinx standing before the entire complex. The Egypt Tour Package group entrance fee does not include individual tickets inside specific pyramids. A camel ride at the plateau rounds off the afternoon before the group returns to the Cairo hotel. Overnight in Cairo.
Breakfast at the hotel opens the third day of your 9 Days in Egypt Package — a complete immersion in the medieval Islamic heritage of Cairo that provides an entirely different lens on this ancient city. Your Egyptologist guide leads the group first to the Mosque of Ibn Tulun — the oldest intact functioning Islamic monument in Cairo, built in 876–879 AD in the rare Abbasid architectural style — then to the Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan (1356 AD), the most architecturally unified of all Cairo's Mamluk monuments, and the adjacent Sultan Al-Rifa'i Mosque (completed 1912 AD), the royal burial site of Egypt's dynastic family. The Citadel of Saladin — built by Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi on the Moqattam Hills in 1183 AD as a fortress against Crusader campaigns and serving as the seat of Egyptian power for over 700 years — completes the morning's Islamic circuit of this Egypt Tour Package. The afternoon and evening are entirely free, allowing independent exploration or rest ahead of the following morning's departure to Aswan. Overnight in Cairo.
After breakfast and check-out, a Bastet Travel representative transfers the group to Cairo Airport for the domestic flight to Aswan — the moment your 9 Days in Egypt Package transitions from the metropolitan energy of Cairo to the serene, granite-framed landscapes of Upper Egypt. Upon landing in Aswan, the group transfers directly to the dock to board the Sara Nile Cruise (or similar) — a quality-graded vessel operating on a full-board basis throughout the cruise. Dinner on board marks the official beginning of three extraordinary nights on the River Nile, the floating centerpiece of this Egypt Tour Package. Overnight on the cruise in Aswan.
Breakfast on board opens a full touring day within your 9 Days in Egypt Package — beginning with a visit to the Temple of Philae, the last sanctuary built in the classical Egyptian style (dedicated to the goddess Isis, origins circa 690 BC, relocated to Agilkia Island in a UNESCO-supervised operation completed in 1980). The cruise then sails north to Kom Ombo, where the Temple of Kom Ombo — a uniquely double-structured Ptolemaic sanctuary dedicated symmetrically to the crocodile-headed Sobek and the falcon-headed Haroeris (332 BC–395 AD) — awaits your afternoon visit. Continuing north, the cruise sails to Edfu for dinner and overnight on board — a beautifully sequenced river day that captures the Ptolemaic soul of this Egypt Tour Package across two temple cities in a single sail.
Breakfast on board precedes an early-morning visit to the Temple of Edfu — the best-preserved ancient temple in Egypt, dedicated to the hawk-god Horus and built between 246 BC and 57 BC, with walls carrying the complete Myth of the Contending of Horus and Seth. Returning to the cruise, the ship sails through the Esna Lock — the only navigational lock on the Egyptian Nile, an engineering spectacle in its own right — with lunch served on board during the sail. Arriving in Luxor, your guide leads the group to the East Bank for visits to Karnak Temple Complex — spanning over 200 acres, the largest religious building ever constructed, dedicated to Amun, Mut, and Khonsu — and Luxor Temple, the New Kingdom sanctuary at the heart of ancient Thebes dedicated to Amun Ra. Dinner on board the cruise closes the most temple-rich day of your 9 Days in Egypt Package. Overnight on the cruise in Luxor.
Breakfast on board and disembarkation mark the final cruise morning of your 9 Days in Egypt Package — followed by a definitive West Bank morning in Luxor. The Valley of the Kings — the royal necropolis containing over 63 rock-cut tombs where New Kingdom pharaohs including Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I were buried — is followed by the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, a three-tiered colonnaded masterpiece built in the 15th century BC against the sheer limestone cliffs of the Theban Mountain. Note that the Egypt Tour Package group entrance covers the Valley of the Kings site; individual tomb tickets are purchased separately on site. After the West Bank visits, the group boards a private vehicle for the transfer east across the Eastern Desert to Hurghada — a journey that crosses the full breadth of Upper Egypt and delivers you to the Red Sea coast by afternoon. Check-in at Jasmine Palace Resort or Fort Arabesque Resort (or similar) closes the most geographically dramatic day of the entire 9 Days in Egypt Package. Overnight in Hurghada.
Breakfast at the resort opens a completely free day within your 9 Days in Egypt Package — the deliberate decompression chapter of an Egypt Tour Package that has covered six cities and thousands of years of history in the preceding seven days. The Red Sea at Hurghada offers some of the world's most accessible snorkeling and diving, with the resort's beach providing direct entry to clear, warm waters above healthy coral gardens. An optional boat trip to the Red Sea Islands — a chain of protected coral reef islands accessible by organized excursion from Hurghada — is available for those who want to explore beyond the resort beach. The day is entirely yours, with full-board dining at the resort providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner without any additional cost. Overnight in Hurghada.
A final resort breakfast and a free morning on the Red Sea coast close the 9 Days in Egypt Package at its most leisurely pace. After check-out, guests are transferred to Hurghada Airport for departure — either on international flights home or on domestic flights back to Cairo for those continuing with an extension program arranged by Bastet Travel. This final transfer marks the conclusion of Bastet Travel's services on this Egypt Tour Package, completing a journey that has moved from the medieval markets of Cairo to the ancient temples of the Nile and arrived, finally, at the living blue of the Red Sea.
I can't believe how incredible this 9-day tour was! From standing in awe at the Pyramids to cruising down the Nile in sheer luxury, every moment felt like a dream. The guides were super knowledgeable, and Hurghada’s beaches were the perfect way to unwind. What an unforgettable adventure!
If you’re a history buff like me, this trip will blow your mind. The Valley of the Kings left me speechless, and walking through the ancient temples felt like stepping into another world. The whole experience was perfectly curated and stress-free. Loved every second!
This trip was the perfect mix of luxury and adventure! The Nile cruise was absolutely top-notch, and exploring the desert felt like a scene from a movie. Plus, ending it all with Hurghada’s crystal-clear waters was just pure bliss. Highly recommended
Egypt is even more magical than I imagined. From the bustling energy of Cairo to the serenity of sailing on the Nile, it was a feast for the senses. Hurghada’s coastal beauty was the cherry on top. This tour covers it all!
I was amazed by how well this tour combined rich history with relaxation. Exploring the Temple of Philae and the Pyramids felt surreal, and then spending a few days in Hurghada to soak up the sun? Genius! Couldn’t ask for more.
