Egypt Tours & Vacation Packages, private and run from Cairo since 1988.

Seven days (6 nights) is the most-booked length and covers Cairo, Aswan, a 3-night Nile cruise to Luxor, and Abu Simbel. Eight days adds a fourth cruise night sailing from Luxor. Ten days lets you add a Red Sea extension or move at a calmer pace. Twelve to fourteen days unlocks Alexandria, the White Desert, or both. Anything shorter than 5 days and the flights start to outweigh the time on the ground.

Prices on this page currently start from $406 per person (6 days, two people sharing); each tour shows its own from-price. What moves the price is the hotel and ship tier and the season: Christmas, New Year and spring break weeks cost more. International flights are separate.

On most multi-day Egypt tours from 7 days up, yes – the cruise is the southern segment between Luxor and Aswan. Land-only Egypt tours exist and we sell them, but the Nile cruise is the experience most first-time visitors come for. The choice is cruise (5-star ship, 100-200 guests, fast) vs dahabiya (6-12 guests, traditional sail, slow).

Yes. The US State Department rates Egypt Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution) – the same level as France, Germany, Italy and the UK (advisory of July 2025). We avoid the areas it marks Do Not Travel (Northern and Middle Sinai, the border zones) – Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, the Nile cruise route and the Red Sea resorts are not among them. 24/7 support from Egyptian offices.

October through April. Daytime temperatures 65–80°F, dry, low humidity. November to February is peak (Christmas/NY sell out 6 months ahead). Spring break in March/April aligns to one of the best weather windows. July and August in Upper Egypt are 105–115°F – we don't run southern itineraries those months by default.

Yes for US passports. Easiest: the e-Visa (visa2egypt.gov.eg, $30, single entry, 3–5 business days). Or get a US$36 visa on arrival at the digital consoles in the immigration hall. Passport must be valid 6+ months beyond entry date. We include full visa guidance in your booking confirmation.

Every Egypt tour we run is fully customizable. Move days around, swap accommodation tiers, add hot-air balloon over Luxor or scuba diving in Marsa Alam, replace Cairo with Alexandria, extend the Red Sea segment. Tell us the constraints (window, headcount, budget, must-sees), receive a tailor-made itinerary within a working day.

Everything listed under "Included" on that tour's page. That is usually the hotels, the Nile cruise where the tour has one, entrance fees for the sites in the itinerary, an English-speaking Egyptologist and your transportation. Some tours also include domestic flights or the sleeper train, so check each tour. International flights are not included.

For Christmas and New Year, aim to have your reservation confirmed about six months ahead. Easter is the same. Over Eid, Cairo hotels are hard to get. For the total solar eclipse in August 2027 very little is left, so if we can offer you space, take it.

Around 25% to 50% of the trip price. It depends on the season and on whether train or flight tickets are part of the trip.

Yes. What you get back depends on how close to departure you cancel. The terms are set out in full on our cancellation and refund policy page. Cancellation and refund policy
