View Tour How to Choose an Egypt Tour Package
A practical checklist for choosing an Egypt tour package: trip length, Nile cruise or hotels, hotel class, private or small group, season and what should be included in the price.
Two Egypt packages with the same title can be very different trips. Before comparing prices, it helps to decide a few things in order. These are the questions we ask every guest who writes to us.
1. How many days do you have?
Four or five days covers Cairo and Giza with one more highlight, such as Luxor or the White Desert. Seven to eight days is enough for Cairo plus a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. With ten days or more you can add the Red Sea, Alexandria or Abu Simbel without rushing.
2. Nile cruise or hotels in Upper Egypt?
A cruise is the easiest way to see Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan: you unpack once, meals are on board and the boat moves while you rest. Hotels give you more freedom and more time in each city. Both work well – it depends on your travel style.
3. Which hotel class?
Our packages come in four classes – Budget, Standard, Superior and Luxury. The itinerary, guide and sightseeing stay the same; only the hotels and the cruise ship change. You can see the price of each class on every package page before you book.
4. Private or small group?
On a private tour the car, driver and Egyptologist are only for you, and the timing follows your pace. A small group tour costs less and suits solo travellers who like company. Most of our packages are private, and the price per person drops for groups of four or more.
5. What should be included?
Compare what is in the price, not only the price. Our packages include:
- Meet & assist at the airport and private transfers
- Hotels with breakfast (and full board on the cruise)
- Domestic flights where listed in the itinerary
- A private Egyptologist guide and entrance fees on sightseeing days
- Lunch on touring days, bottled water and all taxes
Not included: international flights, the Egypt visa (US$25 on arrival for most nationalities), tips and optional tours.
Our packages start from $395 per person. Every itinerary can be changed – add a day, swap a city or upgrade a hotel – and we send you the new price before you pay anything.
