- Every tour starts and ends at your hotel (the layover tour at Cairo airport); 7 tours in Luxor and Aswan also collect guests from Nile cruise boats.
- Drive figures come from map routing without traffic: on the Luxor West Bank tour, the first drive is 14.9 km, about 18 min.
- Clock times on tour pages are approximate; the pickup time is confirmed when you book.
- A stop can be skipped or the order changed where the tour allows, if you ask before booking.
- 5 tours have a shopping stop you can skip; going inside the Great Pyramid is an optional extra on 12 tours.
Each tour on Egypt Day Tours, a site dedicated to day tours in Egypt, is planned as one route that starts and ends at your hotel. The tour page lists every stop in order, the drive distance and time to each one from map routing without traffic, and what is included and not included. Clock times on the page are approximate; the pickup time is confirmed when you book.
The route: every stop in order
A tour page shows the whole day hotel to hotel, with a map, photos of each stop and the drive to each stop. Here is the Luxor West Bank, full day tour as its page lays it out:
| Stop, in order | Drive to it, without traffic |
|---|---|
| Hotel pickup in Luxor | Start |
| Colossi of Memnon | 14.9 km from your hotel, about 18 min |
| Temple of Hatshepsut | 4.3 km from the Colossi of Memnon, about 8 min |
| Valley of the Kings | 6.3 km from Hatshepsut Temple, about 16 min |
| Lunch at a local restaurant | Not given |
| Medinet Habu | 8.3 km from the Valley of the Kings, about 18 min |
| Deir el-Medina workers' village | 1.9 km from Medinet Habu, about 5 min |
| Return to your hotel | 15.4 km from Deir el-Medina, about 19 min |
The drive figures are map routing without traffic, so read them as the shortest a drive can take, not a forecast. The restaurant is not named, so the drive to Medinet Habu is measured from the Valley of the Kings.
What is included, and what is not
