What does the following budget Egypt tours really cost you: money, or the Valley of the Kings?

Only money, and less than you think.

The budget-friendly Egypt tours on this page keep the famous stops and cut the waste around them: short routes, no idle hours, and the choice of a shared tour if you are happy to split the ride.

Cheap tours in Egypt might have a reputation for dusty buses and no guides. Ours keep the good parts. Most come with hotel pickup, an AC car transfers, and a certified Egyptologist guide (a history expert who makes 3,000-year-old stones gossip). The pharaohs did not build their temples for platinum cards, and we see no reason to start now.

Most of these cheap Egypt tours start in Luxor, the town with the Valley of the Kings on one bank of the Nile and Karnak Temple on the other.

On the West Bank you get the Valley of the Kings, where more than 60 royal tombs are cut into the hills, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the two giant Colossi of Memnon. On the East Bank, Karnak Temple (the largest temple complex in Egypt) and Luxor Temple, which looks its best once the lights come on after sunset.

The 2 days of Luxor Highlights package takes one bank per day, with dinner at a normal hour both nights. If your base is Cairo, the Luxor Highlight from Cairo day trip flies you south in about an hour, walks you through the Valley of the Kings and Karnak, and gets you back in time to brag about it over dinner.

If you would rather not rush, the Luxor Highlights from Cairo round trip adds a night in Luxor. And for the far south, the Private Overnight to Abu Simbel from Luxor drives you through Aswan to the two rock temples of Ramses II, about 280 km beyond Aswan, where the four statues at the door stand around 20 meters tall.

Picking one is simple. If you’ve only one free day in Cairo: take the flight. Two days in Luxor: take the two-day package. Three days and a long wish list: add Abu Simbel.

Affordable Egypt tours like these also stack well: add a Cairo day tour before or an Aswan day tour after, and now you have a cheap Egypt vacation package without the planning headache.
