Before You Book
The things travelers ask us most about this tour.
Yes — entrance fees for the sites on this itinerary are in the price, so there is nothing to buy at the gate. What you would still pay for separately are your Egypt visa, Cairo hotels, flights, tips and personal spending.
Private. It runs for your group alone — private air-conditioned transportation and private English-speaking Egyptologist — so the pace is yours and nobody waits on a coach filling up. We do not merge bookings into larger groups.
Prefer to join a small group? See Weekly Trips →A fair amount, but nothing strenuous. The pacing is yours to set. The sightseeing itself involves sand, temple stone and tomb stairs, but any day can be shortened, swapped, or traded for time on the cruise deck. If someone in your group has limited mobility, tell us before you book — we can usually adjust the route or the pace rather than have you find out on the day.
It runs 10 days across 4 bases — Cairo, Giza, Luxor and Aswan. The day-by-day breakdown is on this page, and start times flex around your flights and how early you like to begin.
Yes. Travellers on this itinerary most often add ATV Quad Bikes at Pyramids' Sahara Desert, Nile Cruise Dinner + Belly Dancer & Oriental Shows and Food Tour, and any of them can be built into the day rather than booked separately. You can also swap a site, change the pace, or start from a blank page if none of this is quite right.
