Key Takeaways
What sets our trips apart:
- Private as standard: on a private tour, nobody else joins your guide, driver or vehicle, so you set the pace.
- Track record: 13 years of experience and a 5.0 out of 5 rating on TripAdvisor from 133 traveller reviews.
- Handled from Cairo: our own team plans your itinerary and books your hotels, flights and transfers.
- Free itinerary and price: tell us your dates and interests, and we send a day-by-day itinerary with its price at no charge.
What Do Private Egypt Tours Include?
Each tour lists its own inclusions, but a typical private package looks like this:
- Guide: a licensed Egyptologist for your group alone.
- Transport: a private air-conditioned vehicle and driver for airport pickups, hotel drop-offs and transfers between sites.
- Hotels: a hotel in each city, with breakfast every day.
- Flights and trains: most packages include the domestic flights or train tickets between cities, and our team books them.
- Entrance fees: included for every site in your itinerary.
- Usually extra: international flights, the visa, tips and add-ons such as a hot-air balloon flight.
Lunches and dinners on land vary by tour, so read the inclusions before you compare prices. Most Nile cruises are full board, which means breakfast, lunch and dinner on board.
Day Tour, Egypt Tour Package or Nile Cruise?
The right tour type depends on how many days you have and how many cities you want to see. If you only have 1 day, book a private day tour in Cairo, Giza or Luxor.
| Tour type | Length | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Day tour | 1 day | One city, such as Cairo or Luxor |
| Egypt tour package | Several days | 2 or more cities in one trip |
| Nile cruise | Usually 3 or 4 nights | Temples between Luxor and Aswan |
On a package we arrange a hotel in each city, while on a cruise your cabin takes the place of a hotel, so you unpack once. You can also combine them, with your first days in Cairo and Giza and then a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan.
7 Days Egypt Tour: Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel
If you have a week, our 7 days Egypt tour with Abu Simbel and domestic flights covers the main sites in order. You see the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, fly to Luxor for the Valley of the Kings and Karnak, then drive to Aswan by way of Edfu and Kom Ombo. Abu Simbel, the High Dam and Philae come before your flight back to Cairo.
Can You Build a Tailor-Made Egypt Tour?
Yes. If a set route does not suit you, we plan a tailor-made Egypt tour around your interests, with the places, pace and budget you choose. One trip can mix private days in Cairo, a Nile cruise and time on the Red Sea.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Egypt?
The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April, when the days are warm and comfortable for sightseeing. December and January are the busiest months, and late October and March are quieter. Our guide to the best time to visit Egypt, month by month covers each season.

QuestionsFAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
How much does a private Egypt tour cost per person?
A private Cairo and Pyramids day tour starts from $85 per person, and our 7 days Egypt tour from $1,525. Each tour and cruise shows its own price table. The final price depends on the season and your group size and, on packages, the hotel class.
How many days do you need in Egypt for a first trip?
Plan 8 to 10 days. That leaves time for Cairo and Giza, then a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, without rushing. With 5 to 7 days you can still see Cairo and a short cruise at a quicker pace, and 12 to 14 days gives you room for the Red Sea.
Are Egypt tours private or shared with other travellers?
Private is our standard: the guide and vehicle are yours alone, so the price per person falls as your group grows. We also offer some small-group day tours, and a standard Nile cruise has other guests on board.
Are the guides on Egypt tours licensed Egyptologists?
Yes. Our guides are licensed Egyptologists with official Ministry of Tourism credentials. On the 7 days tour, a guide goes with you on every excursion, including Abu Simbel, and on day tours your guide stays with your group from pickup to drop-off.
Can you take a Nile cruise from Cairo?
No. Regular Nile cruises sail between Luxor and Aswan, not from Cairo, so you start with a short flight or the train to Luxor or Aswan. Our team books the journey and can add days in Cairo and at the Pyramids before you board.
Is Egypt safe for tourists?
Yes. The main tourist areas (Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea resorts) receive millions of visitors a year, and you will see police and security checks at hotels and major sites. Official advice varies by country and changes over time, so read your government's travel advisory before you book.
How much does an Egypt tourist visa cost?
The standard tourist visa costs US$30 for a single 30-day stay, and your passport needs at least 6 months of validity after you arrive. Fees can change, so check the current fee and rules on the official Egyptian e-Visa portal before you travel.
Are tips included in Egypt tour prices?
No. Tips for your guide, driver and any cruise staff are extra, and they are usually given in cash. We send every guest a tipping guide before arrival, so you know what to expect.
Can I combine Egypt and Jordan in a single trip?
Yes. We run combined trips, usually with Cairo, the Nile and Petra, and our Egypt and Jordan tour packages show the routes. Tell us your dates and what you want to see in each country, and we put together a day-by-day plan for both.
Can I plan my Egypt tour in Spanish, German or another language?
Yes. Our team plans trips in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Czech and Arabic. Tell us your language in your first message, and ask which guide languages are available for your dates, because that can change from one trip to the next.
