Best Tour for Adventure in Egypt
Egypt is more than just history, it’s an adventure waiting to happen. Whether you’re riding through the desert, exploring ancient sites, or experiencing local culture, there’s no shortage of excitement. Here’s a breakdown of the best adventure experiences that fit into our tour offerings.
Full-Day Cairo Experience: See It All in One Day
For travelers who want to pack everything into a single day, this tour covers all of Cairo’s must-see spots, combining adventure with history. Start the day riding ATVs across the desert for panoramic views of the Pyramids of Giza before heading to the pyramids themselves. After visiting the Sphinx, enjoy a camel ride to soak in the full desert experience.
The tour continues with a visit to the Egyptian Museum, showcasing thousands of artifacts, including mummies and treasures from King Tutankhamun’s tomb. In the evening, after a short rest at the hotel, finish the day with dinner and a guided tour through Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s historic market filled with spices, souvenirs, and bustling local culture.
Foodie Adventure in Cairo
A mix of adventure and food, this tour starts with a quick morning visit to the pyramids, followed by a six-stop tasting tour of Cairo’s most iconic dishes. From koshari (Egypt’s national dish) to shawarma, falafel, and fresh juices, this experience takes you deep into Egypt’s food culture. End the evening with a rooftop dinner at the market, enjoying classic Egyptian grilled meats and molokhia.
Ancient Pyramids Beyond Giza: Saqqara & Dahshur
For those who love off-the-beaten-path experiences, Saqqara and Dahshur offer less crowded yet equally stunning pyramids. Visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first pyramid ever built, before heading to Dahshur to see the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, where ancient builders perfected pyramid construction. This tour gives a unique look at Egypt’s architectural evolution away from the tourist-heavy Giza Plateau.
Luxor: The Ultimate Adventure for History Lovers
Luxor is a paradise for travelers who want to immerse themselves in ancient wonders. A one-day tour covers the Valley of the Kings, where you can step inside the tombs of pharaohs, followed by a visit to Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple—two of the largest and most awe-inspiring temple complexes in the world.
For a more extended adventure, a two-day Luxor tour adds an excursion to Esna and a rooftop lunch overlooking the Nile, offering a deeper dive into the ancient world.
Adventure Meets Relaxation: Nile Cruise Between Luxor & Aswan
A Nile cruise offers a balance between adventure and relaxation. As you sail from Luxor to Aswan, stop at temples only accessible by river, including Edfu Temple and Kom Ombo. Unlike packed day tours, a cruise allows you to explore temples at a more relaxed pace, with the added benefit of scenic Nile views along the way.
Coastal Adventures: Alexandria & the Red Sea
While most adventure tours focus on Egypt’s deserts, coastal destinations like Alexandria and the Red Sea offer a different side of Egypt. Alexandria provides a blend of ancient ruins, Mediterranean beaches, and vibrant street life, while Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are perfect for those looking to snorkel or dive among coral reefs.
For a short escape from Cairo, Alexandria is just a day trip away, offering visits to the Catacombs, Qaitbay Citadel, and the famous Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
