Key Takeaways
What sets our trips apart:
- Private as standard: no strangers join your tour, so the pace and the stops are yours to set.
- Track record: 13 years of experience and a 5.0 out of 5 rating on TripAdvisor from 133 traveller reviews.
- Built in-house: our own Cairo team designs and runs every trip, so you deal with the same people from your first message to your last transfer.
- Planning: send us a WhatsApp message and we design the trip with you.
What Our Private Egypt Tours Include
This is what a typical private package covers, and what usually costs extra:
- Guide: an Egyptologist guide for your group alone.
- Transport: a private air-conditioned vehicle with a driver for every transfer, airport pickups included.
- Hotels: accommodation with breakfast every day.
- Entrance fees: covered for every monument in your itinerary.
- Nile cruises: most are full board, meaning breakfast, lunch and dinner on board; your cabin and guided temple visits are part of the cruise.
- Usually extra: international flights, the visa, tips and add-ons such as hot-air balloon rides. Meals on land vary by tour, so check each tour's inclusions.
Most itineraries include a short domestic flight, such as Cairo to Luxor, which our team books for you. Every tour lists its exact inclusions.
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.
| Tour type | Length | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day tour | 1 day | The Pyramids, Cairo or Luxor | A single day in one city |
| Egypt tour package | Multi-day, hotels included | Several cities, such as Cairo, Luxor and Aswan | Seeing several cities in one trip |
| Nile cruise | Several nights on board | Luxor to Aswan, with guided temple visits | A slower pace on the river |
A package includes your hotels and transfers, while on a Nile cruise your cabin takes the place of the hotel.
You can also combine a package and a cruise: spend your first days in Cairo and Giza, then sail the classic route on a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan.
If you have only 1 day, book a private day tour in Cairo, Giza or Luxor. Not sure which tour type suits you? Send us your dates and we will suggest one.
7 Days Egypt Tour: Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel
Our 7 days Egypt tour with Abu Simbel and domestic flights covers Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, plus the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo and an excursion to Abu Simbel from Aswan. You fly from Cairo to Luxor and from Aswan back to Cairo, and travel by private car between Luxor and Aswan.
Tailor-Made Egypt Tours with a Free Draft Itinerary
If you want something different from the 7 days route, we build a tailor-made Egypt tour around your interests: the places you want to see, the pace you like and your budget. The draft itinerary is free.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Egypt?
October to April is the best time to visit Egypt, with sunny days that are cooler than the summer months and comfortable for sightseeing. Our month-by-month guide to Egypt's seasons and weather explains what to expect in each month.

To start planning your private Egypt tour, send Travel Joy Egypt your dates, group size and interests on WhatsApp +20 106 023 3393. We reply 24/7 and send you a draft itinerary with the price for your group.
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 costs from $85 per person, and our 7 days Egypt tour starts from $1,525 per person. Multi-day trips cost more because they include your hotels or cruise cabin. The final price depends on the season, your hotel class and your group size.
How many days do you need in Egypt for a first trip?
Plan 8 to 10 days. That gives you time for Cairo and Giza, then a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. With only a week, focus on Cairo, Luxor and Aswan and fly between them to save time.
Are the guides on your 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. Standard Nile cruises do not sail from Cairo; they run between Luxor and Aswan, so you usually take a short flight from Cairo to Luxor first. Our team arranges the flight and can add Cairo and the Pyramids before the cruise begins.
Can I customise an Egypt tour to fit my interests?
Yes. Send us your travel dates and interests, and we design a tailor-made Egypt tour from scratch, then adjust the hotel class, pace and budget until it fits. One trip can combine private Cairo tours, a Nile cruise and time on the Red Sea.
Is Egypt safe for tourists?
Check your government's travel advisory before you book, because official advice varies by country and changes over time. Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea resorts are the main tourist areas, and on a private tour your guide and driver are with you on every excursion.
How much does an Egypt tourist visa cost?
The standard Egypt tourist visa costs US$30 and allows a single 30-day stay. 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?
Usually not. Tips for your guide and driver are paid on top of the tour price, and tipping is a normal part of travel in Egypt. Before you arrive, we send every guest a tipping guide with suggested amounts, so you can budget for it from the start.
Can I combine Egypt and Jordan in a single trip?
Yes. We run combined Egypt and Jordan trips, usually with Cairo, the Nile and Petra, and our Egypt and Jordan tour packages show the routes. Share your dates, what you want to see in each country and your budget, and we put together a day-by-day plan for both.
Can I plan my Egypt tour in Spanish, German or another language?
Yes. Tell us which language you prefer when you first get in touch, and we will plan your trip in it.
