 What to do in Egypt in 5 days?

We can help you customize by using these main attractions

  • Giza Pyramids

The three pyramids of Giza are not only one of Egypt’s most famous landmarks but also a big reason why people visit the country. Even now, no one knows for sure how it was built. The first and most significant of these pyramids is called Cheops, and it was ordered to be built by King Khufu. Tradition says that the second-largest pyramid, which was also the smallest of the three, was built by King Khufu’s son Khafre. Because King Menkaure was Khafre’s son and Cheops’ grandson, he is often thought to have come up with the name. Khafre was the father of King Menkaure. The Sphinx, a legendary creature with a person’s head and a lion’s body, is said to live in the area. Khafre was also the person who built the Valley Temple.

  • Egyptian Museum

Right next to Tahrir Square, which is the heart of Cairo. If you’re going to Cairo, Egypt, you must visit the Egyptian Museum. The Egyptian Museum opened in 1902 to collect and display items from ancient Egypt. The most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts anywhere in the world is in the middle of Egypt. About 120,000 things, like the treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb, are expected to be found. Most mummies have been found since the 1800s. From about 2700 BC, when the Egyptian Empire began, until the Greco-Roman era, the exhibit shows things from that time.

  • Islamic Cairo

Cairo is sometimes called the “city of a thousand mosques” because there are so many there. It is often one of the most critical stops on Egypt’s many tourist tours. Over several hundred years, many different kinds of architecture were used to build mosques in Cairo. Even though mosques are places of worship for Muslims, they are often visited by tourists because of their unique design. The Sultan Hassan Mosque-Madrassa is an essential building because it reminds us of the city’s Islamic past and is an excellent example of Islamic architecture.

  • Coptic Cairo

Coptic Cairo One of the largest Christian groups in all of Egypt lives in the Coptic neighborhoods of Cairo. The Romans built and took care of the walls around the Babylon Fortress, which are still there today and serve as the entrance to the area. While the Romans were in charge, the walls around Babylon were made longer and more robust. The name “Hanging Church” comes from the fact that part of the church was built on top of a Roman water wheel. This is where you can find a fantastic collection of icons.  There is a chance that the well-known Geniza document cache is hidden somewhere in the nearby Ben Ezra Synagogue. The Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque is just around the next corner. It was built by the Arab Muslim army colonel who planned Egypt’s rebellion and became the country’s first ruler.

  • Hurghada

Hurghada is so popular and has been around for so long that it is safe to say that no other resort in Egypt can even come close to competing with it. Taking a boat to the Giftun Islands is one of the most popular things in Hurghada. There are stunningly beautiful white beaches and reefs where snorkeling is excellent on these islands. Some tourists don’t even notice the desert because they are interested in what’s going on by the river. El Gouna is a popular tourist destination 27 kilometers north of Hurghada. Since it is close to the financial center, you can go there and back on the same day. You can do a lot of different water sports here. The most popular are kiteboarding, wakeboarding, sailing, and scuba diving in Egypt.

  • Luxor 

It is the most famous place in Upper Egypt, also called Southern Egypt. Some of the oldest monuments ever built in Egypt are there. The city, which used to be called Thebes, is on the east and west sides of the Nile River. Luxor is known for its pyramids and being the “largest open-air museum on Earth.” The ancient West Bank temples of Karnak and Luxor, whose ruins can be seen on the East Bank, are part of the modernization of the East Bank. The West Bank is home to many historical sites, such as temples, tombs, and monuments. Every year, millions of people visit places like the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Valley of the Kings, and the Valley of the Queens. This area is in Egypt, even though it could be in Cappadocia. Riding in a hot air balloon is the best way to see the sunrise. In the past, Egypt’s capital was the city of Luxor, and it was called Thebes when it was first built. Take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime chance and look out over more than 4,000 years of history.

  • Aswan

Egyptians call Aswan “the city of the Nubians,” and the city is proud of its relaxed atmosphere and warm welcome. Communities full of color and culture show off their traditions and welcome visitors with open arms. Even though there aren’t as many historical sites as in Cairo or Luxor, a felucca sail at sunset more than makes up for it. You can drink and eat to your heart’s content at any of the cafes along the Nile, or you can go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Philae Temple. Visitors can see Abu Simbel, the temple of the ancient pharaoh Ramses II, and other historic structures near Lake Nasser, just outside the city.

After you choose from Cairo attractions, Alexandria attractions, Red Sea attractions, Luxor attractions, and Aswan attractions, you can start your journey in Egypt to make it memorable and special.
