How do tailor-made Egypt tour packages work?
You tell us your dates, group size, the places you want to see, your hotel level and your pace. Our team in Egypt then arranges the transfers, domestic flights, Egyptologist guides, Nile cruise and hotels in your confirmed itinerary.
What is included in an Egypt tour package?
Most packages include airport meet-and-assist, hotels and Nile cruise, private transfers, domestic flights, entrance tickets and a licensed guide. Your itinerary lists exactly what is included. International flights are quoted separately on request.
Are international flights included?
Usually not. Most travelers book their own international flights so they can choose their airline and use their miles. Flights inside Egypt are included when they are listed in your itinerary.
Why book directly with a local Egyptian travel agency?
You deal directly with the team that runs your trip in Egypt. There is no middleman, and someone local can help you the same day if anything changes during your trip.

Can I choose my hotels?
Yes. We can build your trip around 4-star, 5-star or 5-star luxury hotels and Nile cruise ships, depending on your budget.
