Our Egypt tour packages range from $899 per person (5-day Cairo tour) to $2,299 per person (12-day complete Egypt tour with Nile cruise and Hurghada). All prices include the Egyptologist guide, airport transfers, all monument entrance fees, all domestic flights listed in the itinerary, and daily breakfast. Hotel accommodation (3-star to 5-star) is included based on the package. The only costs not included are international flights, lunches, dinners, and personal purchases.

The best time to visit Egypt is October through April, when temperatures are comfortable for touring ancient sites — typically 15–28°C (59–82°F). December through February is particularly pleasant. Avoid June through August when desert temperatures regularly exceed 40°C (104°F) at outdoor sites like the Giza Plateau and Valley of the Kings. If you must travel in summer, Nile cruise itineraries are more manageable as air-conditioned cabins provide relief and most touring is done in early morning hours.

We recommend a minimum of 7 days for a satisfying Egypt tour. This allows 2 days in Cairo for the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum, plus a 4-night Nile cruise covering Luxor and Aswan. For a more complete experience including Abu Simbel, 8–10 days is ideal. If you want to add Hurghada and spend more time at each site without feeling rushed, 12 days is our most comprehensive option. We would not recommend anything under 5 days, as the distances between Cairo and Upper Egypt require at least a flight each way.

Yes, Egypt is safe for tourists in 2026, particularly in the main tourism areas of Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and along the Nile Valley. The Egyptian government considers tourism a national priority — tourist police and military security are stationed at all major monuments and tourist areas. Egypt welcomes over 15 million international visitors annually. Our local Egyptologist guides provide real-time, up-to-date guidance throughout your trip, and our 24/7 local support team is contactable at all times. The most important safety measure is traveling with an experienced local operator who knows the country deeply.

The key differentiator is our certified Egyptologist guides — every guide holds a university degree in Egyptology or archaeology, not just a general tourism license. More importantly, every tour we operate is 100% private — your group, your guide, exclusively. You will never be merged with strangers or put on a shared departure. Your Egyptologist is dedicated to you alone for the entire trip, which means complete flexibility of pace, unlimited questions, and a depth of engagement that group tours cannot offer. With 247 verified reviews averaging 4.9/5 stars, the quality difference is consistently reflected in traveler experiences.

Our packages are land-only and begin at Cairo International Airport. International flights from your home country are not included, allowing you to book the best available fares independently. All domestic flights within Egypt that are part of the itinerary (such as Cairo to Luxor or Abu Simbel) are included in the package price. We provide a detailed flight timing guide when you book so your connecting flights align correctly with the tour start.

Our budget Egypt tours are exceptional value because they use the same certified Egyptologist guides, cover the same monuments, and include the same entrance fees as our premium packages. The difference is primarily in accommodation (3-star vs 5-star hotels) and Nile cruise vessel tier (3-star vs 5-star cruise ship). For most travelers, the 7-Day Budget Egypt Tour with a 3-star Nile cruise provides a wonderful experience at a much lower price point. Choose a premium package if onboard dining quality, larger cabins, or higher-end Cairo hotels are priorities for your trip.
