Private Egyptologist guides, Nile cruises, Pyramids, Luxor & beyond — 15 fully customisable Egypt tour packages from 6 to 12 days, built around you.
Egypt isn't just a destination — it's a conversation with one of humanity's greatest civilisations. At Egypt Tours by Locals, we have spent over 14 years crafting private, tailored journeys that go far beyond the tourist trail.
Our team of certified Egyptologists and licensed tour specialists are Cairo-born and Egypt-raised. We know the precise moment Abu Simbel's inner sanctum floods with sunlight. We know which tombs in the Valley of the Kings hold murals so vivid they stop you mid-sentence. We know the family-owned perfumery near Khan El Khalili that's been crafting scents for generations.
Since 2012, we've guided 1,200+ tour groups from 32 countries with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5. Every package we offer can be fully tailored to your schedule, budget, and pace — at no extra cost. 15 packages listed below. None of them are fixed.
15 private Egypt package tours — 6 to 12 days, every one led by a Cairo-born certified Egyptologist and fully customisable. All entrance fees and airport transfers included.

From $2,000 / person 🧳Fully private solo touring with complete flexibility — your guide adapts the entire day to your pace. Our guides ensure every solo traveller feels comfortable, safe, and genuinely engaged throughout Egypt.

Contact us for group rates 💰Egypt's greatest wonders don't require a premium budget. Our affordable packages include the same certified Egyptologist guides, key sites, and comfortable 4-star hotels — without the luxury price tag.
From $1,200 / personFrom the Great Pyramids to Abu Simbel's solar-aligned sanctum, here is what our Egyptologists unlock at each site that no guidebook or audio tour ever covers.
The only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Your guide decodes the Orion alignment, explains how 2.3 million blocks were moved, and reveals the real identity debate around the Sphinx.
100,000+ artifacts including the complete Tutankhamun collection. Our guides navigate its vastness so you experience what matters most in the time you have — guided, not overwhelmed.
63 royal tombs carved over 500 years. Your Egyptologist reads the Book of the Dead inscriptions from the painted walls — in real time, at the site where they were carved 3,200 years ago.
Temples reveal themselves from the riverbank exactly as ancient priests saw them. Evenings on the sun deck under stars, with the quiet water and distant palms — Egypt at its most timeless.
Carved into sandstone 3,300 years ago and relocated in the 1960s. Arriving at dawn when the statues glow — with a guide explaining the solar alignment — is consistently our most-reviewed moment.
Egypt beyond the Nile — ancient oracle temples, natural salt springs, and the otherworldly chalk formations of the White Desert that glow silver under moonlight. A different Egypt entirely.
Real reviews from real travellers — 247 verified ratings across Google and TripAdvisor. No scripts, no incentivised reviews, published in full.
"Mai didn't just show us the Pyramids — she made us feel what it meant to build them. The private morning at the Grand Egyptian Museum with no crowds was extraordinary. My children still talk about it two years later."
"We were hesitant about whether a private package tour was worth it over a group tour. This completely changed our minds. Maro knew every guard, every trick to beat the crowds, and told us stories not in any guidebook. The Nile cruise was romantic beyond words."
"Traveling solo to Egypt for the first time, I was nervous. From the moment I landed to the moment I left, everything was perfectly arranged. Magdy was knowledgeable, warm, and made me feel completely safe. The Valley of the Kings was breathtaking."
Every Egypt package tour includes the following as standard — no hidden surprises at checkout or at any monument gate.
