Egypt Tour Packages and Private Guided Tours of Egypt

An Egypt tour package from Explora is a private guided trip run by an Egypt-based operator, priced per person in US dollars, from $120 for an Abu Simbel day trip to $2,196 for a twelve-day circuit. Every price on this page covers ground arrangements inside Egypt: hotels, a licensed Egyptologist guide who speaks English, a private air-conditioned vehicle with a driver, prepaid monument entry, and domestic Egyptian flights on the longer programs. Your international flight to Egypt is not part of it. We do not sell it, book it, quote it or coordinate it, and you buy it yourself once your dates are fixed.

What follows is the whole range: four multi-day circuits running seven to twelve days, two five-day Nile cruises that sail in opposite directions for the same money, and four short tours around Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel for travelers who already have part of the trip arranged. You get a side-by-side comparison, the 2026 gate fee for every monument on the itineraries, the prepaid ticket value of each tour worked out in front of you, two separate lists for what the price covers and what it does not, and answers to the questions Americans actually ask before they send a deposit to a company on the other side of the world.

Compare every Egypt tour package at a glance

The biggest decision is not which sites you see, because almost every serious Egypt itinerary covers the same monuments. It is how many nights you have and whether you want to sleep on a boat.

All rates are per person, two people sharing a double room or cabin. Solo travelers pay a single supplement, confirmed in writing on your quote rather than by blanket rule. Rates move with the season: December, the week around Easter and early January sit at the top of the range, and the same itinerary in late May or September sits near the bottom. The word "From" in that last column is doing real work, so treat it as the floor of a range and ask for a dated quote before you plan a budget around it.

Which Egypt tour fits you

Four questions sort almost everybody into one of these ten tours, and none of them are about which pyramid you like best.

• How many nights do you actually have on the ground? Count from the morning you land, not the day you leave home. A red-eye that arrives at 3 p.m. costs you an afternoon. Seven nights is the minimum for Cairo plus the Nile. Below that, take one of the short tours and do the country properly another year.
• Do you want to sleep on the river? A cruise cabin is smaller than a hotel room and the boat moves at night. In exchange you unpack once and wake up at the next temple. If that trade sounds bad, the overland version of the same route exists for exactly this reason.
• Is Abu Simbel a must? It is a six-hour round trip from Aswan and it is not on every itinerary. The eight-day and ten-day circuits include it, both Nile cruises include it as a road excursion, and the seven-day circuit does not.
• Do you already have flights inside Egypt? If yes, the cruises and the short tours work. If no, take a multi-day circuit, because the domestic sectors are built into those four and buying them separately is the step that trips people up.

Multi-day Egypt tour packages: Cairo, the Nile and Upper Egypt

These four are the core of what we sell, and they are what most Americans want from an Egypt tour package: one booking that covers the whole country from the morning you clear immigration to the morning you go back through it. All four include the domestic Egyptian flights that link Cairo to the south, which is the single line item that separates a real circuit from a list of separate tours you have to stitch together yourself.

7 days: Cairo, Giza and a Nile cruise

The 7-day Egypt classic tour is the shortest itinerary that still does the country justice. Three nights in a Cairo hotel, then a domestic flight to Aswan and three nights aboard a Nile cruise ship with full board, finishing in Luxor. The Cairo half covers the Giza plateau and the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum and time in the Khan el-Khalili bazaar. From Aswan you visit Philae and the High Dam, sail past Kom Ombo and the Temple of Horus at Edfu, and spend your last full day on both banks at Luxor: the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Karnak and Luxor Temple. Every gate is prepaid, and the nine that appear in the official fee table further down come to 5,090 EGP, about $102 per person. From $1,348 per person, double occupancy.

Pick this one if you have a week and no more. The trade-off is the finish: you leave from Luxor rather than looping back to Cairo, and Abu Simbel is not on the routing. Buy your own international ticket with that in mind, or move up to the eight-day version.

8 days: the same circuit plus Abu Simbel

The 8-day version adds the one site people regret skipping. Four nights in Cairo, three on the boat, and two domestic Egyptian flights, Cairo to Aswan on the way down and Luxor back to Cairo at the end. Ten of the prepaid gates appear in the fee table below and come to 5,912 EGP, about $119 per person. The extra night in Cairo matters more than it sounds: it turns the museum day from a rush into an afternoon, and it gives you a buffer if your long-haul flight lands late.

Abu Simbel is a three-hour drive each way from Aswan across open desert, and the twin temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari are why half the people on your boat came to Egypt at all. From $1,451 per person, which is a $103 premium over the seven-day trip for an extra night, an extra domestic flight and a major site. It is the most-booked length we run, and if you asked us to choose for you without knowing your dates, this is the one.

10 days: Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel at a workable pace

If you have been pricing a 10-day Egypt itinerary, the 10-day Cairo, Luxor and Aswan tour is the one that stops feeling like a race. Four nights in Cairo, four nights on the Nile, one night in an Aswan hotel, and two domestic flights, Cairo to Luxor at the start and Aswan back to Cairo at the end. Ten prepaid gates from the fee table below, again 5,912 EGP or about $119 per person. The extra cruise night means you sail rather than sit, and the Aswan hotel night means Abu Simbel is not squeezed against a departure. From $1,897 per person.

This is the length we recommend most often to first-time visitors flying from the United States. A nonstop from the East Coast is around ten hours in the air, longer with a connection, and the time difference runs six to seven hours ahead of Eastern time. A seven-day trip loses most of its first day to that. Ten days absorbs it and still leaves room for a slow morning.

12 days: the grand circuit with the Red Sea

The 12-day grand Egypt tour runs the full archaeological circuit and then puts three nights in Hurghada on the end, on the Red Sea, so you finish the trip horizontal instead of exhausted. Eleven nights in total: three in Cairo, three on the Nile, one in Luxor, three in Hurghada and a final night back in Cairo. Saqqara goes into the itinerary, which the shorter circuits leave out, and the prepaid gates from the fee table below come to 5,690 EGP, about $114 per person. From $2,196 per person.

Take it if you are already flying halfway around the world and want the trip to justify the flight. It is also the easiest of the four with teenagers, because the Red Sea leg gives everyone a break from temples. One thing to know before you choose it: Abu Simbel is not on the standard twelve-day routing, since the Red Sea nights take that time. If Abu Simbel is the reason you are coming to Egypt, the ten-day circuit includes it, or say so when you write to us and the team will quote the change in writing.

Nile cruise packages

A Nile cruise is not a scenic add-on. Between Luxor and Aswan the ancient sites sit on the riverbank, so the boat is the transport, the hotel and the restaurant at once. You unpack once for four nights. Both of our cruises are five days and four nights, both cost the same, and both include the Abu Simbel excursion by road.

Aswan to Luxor, sailing downstream

The Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise follows the current north: Aswan and Philae, the road excursion to Abu Simbel, then Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor, where the last full day covers the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Karnak and Luxor Temple. Eight prepaid gates, 4,662 EGP of tickets at official 2026 rates, about $94 per person. Full board from the first lunch to the last breakfast, a private Egyptologist at every site, air-conditioned transfers, and port and mooring charges included. From $755 per person in a double cabin.

Downstream is the faster direction, which frees a little more time in Aswan at the start, and it ends you in Luxor, where the airport is a short drive from the mooring.

Luxor to Aswan, sailing upstream

The Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise runs the same eight gates in reverse: Luxor first, then Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan and Philae, with the Abu Simbel road excursion at the end. The same 4,662 EGP of prepaid tickets, about $94. The motorboat transfer out to Philae Island is in the price. From $755 per person.

Upstream suits travelers who want the heaviest sightseeing day first. Luxor on day one is four major sites in a morning, which is harder jet-lagged than on day four. It also suits anyone whose international ticket is already booked into Luxor.

Neither cruise includes a domestic flight, and neither does the overland alternative. If you are starting in Cairo you need to add the Cairo to Luxor or Cairo to Aswan sector yourself, or take one of the four multi-day circuits above, which already have it built in.

Short Egypt tours and single-site trips

These four are for travelers who already have flights and hotels arranged, or who are adding two or three days onto a business trip or a Red Sea stay. Private, guided, and the same prepaid ticket model as the long circuits. None of them include a domestic Egyptian flight.

Aswan and Luxor overland, 5 days

The Aswan and Luxor overland tour covers the identical stretch of Upper Egypt as a cruise, but by private vehicle, with two nights in an Aswan hotel and two nights in Luxor. Philae, the High Dam, both Abu Simbel temples, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak, Luxor Temple, three tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. All gates prepaid, 4,662 EGP of them at 2026 rates, breakfast daily, four or five star hotels. From $520 per person, which makes it the cheapest way to see the whole southern circuit.

Choose it over a boat if you sleep badly on water, want a full hotel bathroom every night, or have dates that fall outside a sailing schedule. The saving against a cruise is $235 per person, and the sites are the same ones.

Luxor in two days

The 2-day Luxor tour is the east and west banks done properly rather than at a jog: three tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, Karnak and Luxor Temple, with a licensed guide and a private car. The four ticketed gates come to 2,290 EGP, about $46 per person, and they are prepaid. From $288 per person. No domestic flight is included, so you arrive in Luxor under your own arrangements, by air or by train.

Abu Simbel day trip from Aswan

The Abu Simbel day trip from Aswan is our lowest-priced tour at $120 per person, and the one most travelers add at the last minute. Private vehicle, three hours out across the desert, guided time at both temples, three hours back. The Abu Simbel gate is 822 EGP, about $16.51, and it is prepaid. Bring a hat, and expect the light on the facade to be at its best early.

Abu Simbel over two days with a hotel night

The two-day Abu Simbel tour is the version worth paying for. You drive down in the afternoon, sleep in Abu Simbel, and stand in front of the temples the next morning before the day-trip convoys arrive. Breakfast around 8 a.m., both temples guided, back on the road at about 11 a.m., then the motorboat to Philae and the High Dam viewpoint before returning to Aswan in the middle of the afternoon. Two prepaid gates, Abu Simbel and Philae, 1,372 EGP or about $28. From $239 per person, and higher in December and around Easter, with the exact figure on your dated quote.

What is included

Two separate lists, because the difference is where most disappointment comes from. Every price quoted on this page includes the following.

• Accommodation in four or five star hotels, or a cabin with a private bathroom and air conditioning on the cruises.
• A licensed Egyptologist guide who speaks English, present at every monument, not a driver with a script.
• A private air-conditioned vehicle with a driver for every transfer and every sightseeing day. Private means your party only.
• Monument entrance fees, prepaid, for every site on the itinerary, so you are not queuing at a ticket window with cash.
• Airport pickup and assistance on arrival and departure.
• Domestic Egyptian flights on the seven-day, eight-day, ten-day and twelve-day programs only.
• Breakfast daily at hotels, and full board on every cruise night, from the first lunch aboard to the final breakfast.
• Bottled water on travel days, all taxes and service charges, and a WhatsApp line to the team that stays open around the clock while you are in the country.

What is NOT included

• The international flight to and from Egypt. Explora does not sell, book, quote or coordinate it in any form. You buy your own ticket to Cairo, Luxor or Aswan. This is not a technicality we hide in small print, it is how the company is structured: we are a ground operator based in Egypt.
• Your Egyptian entry visa. $30 for a single entry, $65 for multiple entries.
• Domestic Egyptian flights on the short tours. The two Nile cruises, the Aswan and Luxor overland route, the Luxor two-day tour and both Abu Simbel products exclude them.
• The interior of the Great Pyramid of Khufu. A separate ticket at 1,500 EGP, about $30, bought at the plateau on the day. Worth it if you are not claustrophobic. The Giza plateau ticket that gets you to the pyramids, the Sphinx and the causeway is included.
• Extra tombs in the Valley of the Kings beyond the standard three, including the ones sold separately at the gate. Extra cost, paid at the ticket office.
• Lunches and dinners on land-based days, and all drinks including bottled water at hotel tables and bar service on the boats.
• Tips. Gratuities for the guide, the driver and the cruise crew are customary in Egypt and are left to your discretion.
• Travel insurance, which we strongly recommend you buy the same week you buy your flight.
• Optional activities: hot air balloon flights over the west bank at Luxor, felucca sails, camel rides, photography permits at certain sites, and anything else you decide on in the moment. Extra cost, paid at the ticket office.

Verified 2026 monument fees, so you can check our math

Egypt publishes monument prices in Egyptian pounds and revises them periodically. Below are the official 2026 gate fees, converted at 1 USD to 49.79 EGP, so you can see that prepaid tickets are a real cost rather than a markup line.

Taken together, the eleven included gates in that table come to 6,512 EGP, about $131 per person, before anyone has driven you anywhere or explained a single cartouche. No single itinerary hits all eleven, so here is what each tour actually carries in prepaid tickets from that list.

Any site not on this list is extra cost, paid at the ticket office, and your guide gives you the figure on the day rather than us printing one here that may have moved. Ministry prices are reviewed periodically and the pound moves, so treat the dollar column as an indication and the pound column as the number that counts.

What a trip to Egypt really costs from the United States

Here is the honest arithmetic for two people traveling together on the eight-day circuit, which is our most-booked length.

• Tour package: from $1,451 per person, covering hotels, cruise, guide, vehicle, domestic Egyptian flights and gates.
• International flight: not included, not sold by us, and the largest variable in your budget. Round-trip fares from US gateways to Cairo swing widely by season and by how far ahead you book, so price it yourself before you commit to dates.
• Entry visa: $30 single entry per person, $65 if you need multiple entries.
• Lunches and dinners on land days: budget modestly. Egypt is inexpensive for food outside hotel restaurants, and your guide will point you at the places locals eat if you ask.
• Tips: a real line item across a week with a guide, a driver and a boat crew, and one most people underestimate.
• Optional extras: the Great Pyramid interior at about $30, a Luxor balloon flight, extra tombs, souvenirs.
• Travel insurance: a few percent of your total trip cost, and the only line here that protects the rest of it.

We publish the package price separately from the airfare because combining them would be a fiction. We cannot control what a seat costs from Chicago in March. We can control what a room in Aswan costs, and that is what we quote.

It is also worth knowing what you are comparing against. A US-based operator selling a similar Egypt itinerary is usually buying the same hotels, the same boats and the same guides through an Egyptian ground operator, then adding a layer. Booking direct removes that layer. What it does not remove is your responsibility for the flight, which is the part a US package would have bundled, so read any two prices carefully before you decide one is cheaper.

When to go

October through April is the window. Daytime highs usually run in the high 60s to low 80s Fahrenheit in Cairo and Luxor, evenings on the boat are cool enough for a jacket, and walking the west bank at Luxor at midday is pleasant rather than punishing. Late October, November, February and March are the sweet spot: good weather without December pricing.

December and the first days of January are peak. Cabins sell out, the Valley of the Kings is busy from opening, and rates sit at the top of their range. If those are your dates, book early rather than hoping for a gap.

June through August is genuinely hot in Upper Egypt, and sightseeing shifts to early mornings and late afternoons. In exchange, prices drop and the sites empty out. The Red Sea leg of the twelve-day grand tour works well in summer, when Hurghada is a beach destination rather than an afterthought.

Two dates to watch that have nothing to do with weather. Ramadan moves each year and changes opening hours and restaurant rhythms rather than closing the monuments, and the sun alignment at Abu Simbel draws a crowd on two mornings a year. Tell us your dates and the team will tell you what falls where before you book anything.

Entry rules and getting yourself to Egypt

US passport holders need a visa. The e-Visa is $30 single entry and $65 multiple entry, applied for online before you travel, and a visa on arrival is issued at Egyptian airports at the same official rates. Your passport must be valid at least six months beyond your entry date and needs a blank page. Apply on the official government portal rather than through a search result that charges you a fee to fill in the same form.

On the flight itself, to be completely clear: we do not include it, sell it, book it, hold it, quote it or coordinate it, on any tour on this page, at any price, to or from any country. You choose your own carrier and your own routing. Tell us your inbound flight number and arrival time and your outbound details, and the ground operation is built around them. Airport pickup is included on every multi-day program.

One practical note that saves people money. The seven-day circuit ends in Luxor and the Aswan to Luxor cruise does too, while the eight-day and ten-day circuits return you to Cairo. Check where your itinerary finishes before you buy a return ticket out of the wrong city, and give yourself a sensible gap between the last domestic sector and your flight home.

How a private tour actually runs

Private here means what it says. No coach, no name badge, no group of forty strangers, no fixed departure date to fit around. Your party has its own vehicle, its own driver and its own Egyptologist. Want an extra forty minutes at Karnak and a shorter stop at the papyrus shop? You say so and it happens.

The guides are licensed Egyptologists, a regulated qualification in Egypt rather than a job title, and they are the reason a temple stops being a pile of columns. On the cruises the same guide meets you at each mooring rather than handing you to a subcontractor.

Explora is based in Egypt, not in a call center abroad, and the team stays reachable on WhatsApp around the clock while you are in the country. Twelve travelers have left public reviews of the agency and of guide Shady Said, averaging 5.0. Those reviews are about the company and the guiding, not about any single itinerary on this page, and we will not pretend otherwise.

What a day on tour actually looks like

Sightseeing days start early, and that is not a sales line, it is the heat and the crowds. A typical Luxor west bank morning begins with a hotel breakfast around 7 a.m. and a pickup shortly after, because the Valley of the Kings is quietest in the first hour and hottest in the fifth. You are usually back at the hotel or the boat by early afternoon, with the rest of the day free.

Cairo runs differently. Traffic decides the schedule, so your guide will move the order of the day around rather than sit in it. The Giza plateau, the Egyptian Museum and Saqqara are each roughly a half day with travel, and nobody enjoys three of them stacked into one.

On cruise days the boat sails while you eat or sleep and moors within walking or short driving distance of the site. Kom Ombo sits almost on the mooring. Edfu is a short ride from the river. Nobody has to check out of anything in between, which is the real argument for a boat over a hotel on this stretch of the country.

Money, tipping, clothes and staying connected

Quotes and payments are in US dollars. On the ground you will want Egyptian pounds for tips, cafes, taxis you take on your own time and anything bought in a market. At the rate used throughout this page, 1 USD is 49.79 EGP, and the rate moves, so check it the week you travel. Cards work in hotels, better restaurants and larger shops. They do not work at a juice stand.

Tipping is normal and expected across the service economy, including for your guide, your driver and the cruise crew. Rather than print a number that will be wrong by the time you read it, we will give you a normal range in writing before you travel, and what you actually give stays your call.

On clothes, Egypt is warm and conservative at the same time. Light long sleeves and long trousers or a long skirt are more comfortable in the sun than shorts and cause nobody any awkwardness. Women should carry a scarf for mosque visits, and everyone needs closed shoes with grip, because tomb ramps and temple floors are uneven and polished by several thousand years of feet. A hat, sunglasses and real sunscreen are not optional between March and October.

For connectivity, a local SIM or an eSIM bought before you fly is cheap and works better than hotel wifi in Upper Egypt. That also keeps you on WhatsApp, which is how the team reaches you day to day while you are in Egypt.

Families, solo travelers and pace

Every tour on this page is private, so the pace is yours. That matters more with children and with anyone who does not want to be on their feet for six hours. Tell us in advance and days get rearranged rather than shortened at the last minute.

Child rates, extra beds and connecting rooms are confirmed in writing on your quote rather than assumed from a table, because hotels and cruise boats treat children differently and we would rather show you the real number. Solo travelers are welcome on all ten tours and pay a single supplement, quoted the same way.

On accessibility, be straight with us. Several sites involve steps, sand, ramps into tombs and long walks between temple pylons, and a few are genuinely hard going. There is usually a version of the day that works, but it needs planning before you arrive rather than a conversation in the car park.

Booking, and what happens after you message us

There is no checkout button on this site, on purpose. Egypt itineraries have too many moving parts for a shopping cart, and a dated quote is more useful to you than a shopping cart is.

Send the team four things on WhatsApp: your arrival date, your departure date, how many travelers and which tour above is closest to what you want. You get back a day-by-day itinerary, a per-person price in US dollars for those exact dates, the hotel or cruise category, and the terms set out in writing. If something does not fit, say so and it gets changed before anything is confirmed. Once you are happy, you confirm and the team holds the rooms, the cabins and the domestic sectors where those are part of the package.

The earlier you write, the more choice you have, especially between late October and early January and around Easter, when boats and the better hotels fill first. That said, short-notice trips are normal for us too, and the honest answer about what is still available in your dates takes one message to find out.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an Egypt tour package cost?

From $120 per person for the Abu Simbel day trip to $2,196 per person for the twelve-day grand circuit, all per person on double occupancy. The most popular length, eight days with a Nile cruise and Abu Simbel, starts at $1,451. Add your own international airfare, the $30 or $65 visa, meals off the boat, tips and insurance.

Are international flights included in any of these tours?

No. Not on any tour, at any price. Explora does not sell, book, quote or coordinate international flights. You buy your ticket to Egypt yourself. Domestic Egyptian flights are a different matter and are included on the four multi-day circuits.

Which tours include domestic flights inside Egypt?

The seven-day, eight-day, ten-day and twelve-day programs include them. Both Nile cruises, the Aswan and Luxor overland tour, the two-day Luxor tour and both Abu Simbel tours do not.

Do I need a visa, and how much is it?

Yes. $30 for a single entry, $65 for multiple entries, either applied for online in advance as an e-Visa or issued on arrival at the airport. Your passport needs at least six months of validity remaining and a blank page.

How much are the monument tickets if I pay at the gate myself?

At 2026 official rates: Giza plateau 700 EGP (about $14.06), Egyptian Museum at Tahrir 550 EGP ($11.05), three tombs in the Valley of the Kings 750 EGP ($15.06), Abu Simbel 822 EGP ($16.51), Karnak 600 EGP ($12.05), Luxor Temple 500 EGP ($10.04), Hatshepsut 440 EGP ($8.84), Saqqara 600 EGP ($12.05), Philae 550 EGP ($11.05), Kom Ombo 450 EGP ($9.04), Edfu 550 EGP ($11.05). On our tours these are prepaid, so you walk in without a wallet.

Can I go inside the Great Pyramid?

Yes, on a separate ticket at 1,500 EGP, about $30, sold at the plateau on the day. It is not included in any package. The climb is a steep, low, hot passage with no decoration at the end, so it divides opinion sharply. Your guide will tell you honestly whether you will enjoy it.

Nile cruise or overland: which is better?

The cruise sails past the riverbank sites and you unpack once, from $755 per person for five days and four nights. The overland version covers the same monuments from hotels in Aswan and Luxor for $520 per person. Cruise for the atmosphere and the sailing days, overland if you want a bigger bathroom, more flexible dates and $235 back in your pocket.

Does the direction of the cruise matter?

Aswan to Luxor sails with the current and ends near Luxor airport. Luxor to Aswan front-loads the heaviest sightseeing day. The price is identical at $755 per person, the sites are the same, and both include the road excursion to Abu Simbel. Pick the one that matches the city your own flights use.

How many days do I need in Egypt?

Seven is the minimum for Cairo plus the Nile. Ten is what we recommend to first-time visitors flying from the United States, because a long-haul flight and a six or seven hour time difference will take your first day. Twelve if you want the Red Sea on the end.

What is the best month to visit?

Late October, November, February and March. Comfortable daytime temperatures, manageable crowds and mid-range pricing. December and early January are peak in both price and crowding. June through August is hot in Luxor and Aswan but cheap and quiet, and it suits the Red Sea itinerary.

Are these tours private or shared?

Private. Your own guide, your own driver, your own vehicle, your own dates. On the cruises the ship is shared, as any ship is, but your guiding and your transfers are not.

Can I change the itinerary?

Yes. These ten are starting points, not fixed departures. Add a night, drop a site, swap a hotel category, start on a Tuesday. Tell the team what you want and any change to the price comes back to you in writing before you confirm anything.

What happens if my flight into Egypt is delayed?

Message the team on WhatsApp with the new arrival time and the pickup moves. Because we run the ground operation ourselves, the driver and the guide are ours to redirect. What we cannot do is anything about the flight itself, since we are not the ones who sold it to you.

Do I tip, and how much?

Tipping is customary in Egypt for guides, drivers and cruise crew, and it is not included in any price on this page. The team will send you a normal range in writing before you travel so you can budget for it and carry small notes. The amount stays entirely your decision.

Is it safe, and how do I check?

Read your own government's current travel advice for Egypt before you book, and read it again close to departure, rather than taking a tour operator's word for it. On the practical side, you are with a licensed guide and a private driver all day, which removes most of the friction independent travelers deal with.

How do I book, and what happens next?

Message the team on WhatsApp at +20 10 3229 5513 with your dates, how many travelers and which itinerary interests you. You get a written itinerary and a quote in US dollars, with the terms set out in writing rather than assumed. Nothing is charged until you have both in hand.

Get a real quote for your dates

The fastest way to price an Egypt trip properly is to tell us four things: your arrival date, your departure date, how many of you there are, and which of the ten tours above is closest to what you want. The team writes back with a day-by-day itinerary, a per-person price in dollars, and a clear line under it for what you still need to buy yourself.

Message us on WhatsApp at +20 10 3229 5513, or fill in the enquiry form below and we will reply on the number you give us. We are in Egypt, on Cairo time, and the WhatsApp line stays open around the clock while our travelers are in the country. If you are still deciding between the eight-day classic and the ten-day circuit, say so in the message and we will tell you which one fits your dates rather than which one costs more.
