Best of Egypt Luxury Tour

This was a great trip, including all the major sites in Upper as well as Lower Egypt (as far as Cairo). A huge advantage was the small group size (7 people) and our own wonderful guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, yet with a good sense of humor, always patient and considerate. As I am older (86) than the other members, I was given special care, including a wheelchair from the boat in particular locations, just to enable me to keep up with the others and not miss out on anything. Service everywhere was excellent, both on the boat and in the hotel, although the hotel's location made it necessary to travel across Cairo for longish periods through the traffic. Egyptians everywhere were friendly and helpful. Although the weather was hot, all activities were timed suitably, so it was not really a problem. Everybody in our group was healthy and very happy and we gelled together well.

Queen Cleopatra  - 7 days Tour

Queen Cleopatra - 7 days

This is non stop tour which allows you to see all of essential Egypt in just 6 days. Our tour guide Ayman and Holidays in Egypt as company were excellent. We did the extras of Abu Simbel and Nubian village. We also did the flight option down to Aswan at the start which was definitely worth it. The sleeper train is an experience not to be missed.

Ask for Mostafa as your tour guide because he is an awesome tour guide. He is professional and caring. Mostafa is energetic and knowledgeable and he does his best to enjoy your challenging Egypt trip. Mostafa is supportive and well-behaved which made our trip absolutely fun and a success. His communication was perfect during the trip which help us to enjoy the trip without any time waste. Also, he did more than his job description and assisted us to visit some places that were not designated in our plan. Personally appreciate his manner and his great job. Thank Mostafa for upholding such high standards and being an excellent tour guide.

Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise

Our guided trip through Egypt was good for the first couple of days with 2 different guides and then we meet Mina Malik in Luxor and the entire experience we all had was elevated to a brighter, more fun and fullfilling experience. Mina is a beautiful soul and an outstanding person, his knowledge and calmness and willing to go over and above is very rare in my experience of how people are in today's times. So this being said I highly recommend Mina Malik for everything he endeavours in the future

We had an amazing time on the tour, and Mansour was an outstanding guide. The sailing during the cruise was delightful, and Egypt's captivating history kept us intrigued throughout. Highlights of the trip were the Abu Simbel tour, the hot air balloon ride in Luxor, and the snorkeling experience in Hurghada. Thank you for giving us such a fantastic and memorable experience!

A really nice experience alltogether. Both our guides Nur and Anas did an excellent job explaining the history of the temples. Hightlight of the tour is definetely the dandara temple at the end. Less crowded, well preserved and the option to go into the crypts.

Egypt: Boats & Bazaars Tour

Egypt: Boats & Bazaars

This was my first G Adventures tour (previously having stuck with Contiki and TravelTalk) and I have to say this thoroughly impressed me - the itinerary was well thought out and executed well, all of the inclusions were decent (nothing worse than an included activity being a waste of time) and the options extra's were a 100% worth it. Massive shout out to our CEO for the trip Medo who was one of the best guides I've had across 10+ tours now... he was in great spirits throughout the early mornings and the late evenings, and his knowledge was beyond extensive! He was coming off the back off 2 months continuous trips but you wouldn't know it from his enthusiasm and amazing attitude. The only negative for anyone interested in Egypt... be prepared for the Wifi to not work in any hotel you enter, best tip is to buy a SIM at the airport and use that instead... I think the majority of our had done that by the end as it was so bad in the hotels we were in!

Egypt Adventure Tour

Egypt Adventure

My trip to Egypt was, by far, the most impactful trip I've ever taken. I learned so much--not only about the country's amazing history, but also about the amazing people--and left a piece of my heart behind. This was my first group trip, and I could not have imagined 11 more wonderful people to spend my days and nights with. However, the trip exceeded my expectations due to our incredible tour guide, Mohamed Ebrahim. Mo was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. He was organized, informative, patient, creative, and I know I speak for our entire group when I say that I can't even imagine taking this trip with another guide.

Cairo-Luxor-Aswan-Abu Simbel 9 Days with tour guided - domestic Flight

My experience in Egypt with Egypt Direct Tour was amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the professional guide, Bassam, who expertly explained Egypt's ancient history. We explored the noble tombs near the pyramids which were not really popular among tourists, providing a unique experience. Although one guide wasn't helpful, the agency promptly replaced him upon my reflection. Also, they provided the assistance immediately when my flight was canceled. Overall, I had good experience in exploring Egypt thanks to their reliable service.

What people love about Egypt Tours

Really enjoyed being in a small group instead of a traditional large group and our guide was great. This was a fast, hit-the-high points type of tour which is what we wanted; but, didn't really get to spend too much time at any one place. Didn't care for the hotel we were based out of - the rooms didn't have opaque walls between the bedroom and bathroom, just glass that was partly translucent; and, the hotel was a long ways away from everything.
Mina was an incredible tour guide - so friendly and knowledgeable. He is such a kind hearted man who made our trip so special.
Queen Cleopatras is a great tour, highly recommended, Anas is a great guide, he explained everything about Egyptian culture and toke care about our group! I will recommend to head office to deliver schedules with the tours to be able to plan our days. Cruse was amazing, service is great and everyone is very friendly! Also there is laundry available at your room! Ruby II is a great option, the room is very nice! I won’t recommend to take the train from Cairo to Aswan, service is great but services are not good (very old and dirty), washrooms very dirty!

During the summer months (from June to August), daily temperatures can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) - perfect for snorkeling and soaking up the sun on the beaches of Sinai, but can prove challenging for some in the crowded streets and souqs of Cairo.

Choose to escape the crowds by traveling from March to May or September to November when the weather is milder, and there's the opportunity to experience Egypt during Ramadan and the celebrations of Eid (which marks the breaking of the fast). If you are planning to travel during Ramadan, it's important to consider that many restaurants and shops will either be closed or operating at reduced hours.

Culture and customs

Life in Egypt has been in a state of flux since the 2011 revolution. Many of the issues that motivated so many to take to the streets in protest continue to be points of contention, but Egyptians remain hopeful, relying on religion, family and humor to get them through, like they have for thousands of years. A strong sense of community binds people across the country. Families and communities support each other and there is a prevailing sense that everyone is in it together. For all these reasons, most express great pride in being Egyptian, despite their nation’s recent turmoil.

As a largely Muslim country (about 90% of the population is Muslim while most of the remaining 10% identify as Coptic Christian), Islam permeates daily activities. Life revolves around the five daily prayers and everything is closed on Friday, the Muslim holy day. A wide array of cultural norms, including how people dress and interact with the opposite sex, are influenced by religion. Women are largely defined by their role as a mother and matron of the house, whereas men are expected to be the provider.

Many Egyptians consider their country the gateway between the West and the rest of the Arab world, and take pride in their ability to mix tradition with modern influences. This mixing is most apparent in major cities, such as Cairo and Alexandria, where American fast-food chains can be found next to traditional cafes, secular attitudes are more common, and pop music rings through city streets.

Food and drink

With fragrant spices, fresh fruit and vegetables, and delicious sweets on offer, culinary adventures in Egypt are guaranteed. On many Intrepid trips you'll be given the opportunity to dine with a local family – this offers a great chance to see how meals are prepared and learn more about the ingredients.

Things to try in Egypt

1. Hamam mahshi

A north African delicacy, hamam – roasted pigeon stuffed with cracked wheat and rice – can be found on the menu of most traditional Egyptian restaurants. You may need a few to fill up though, as they don’t contain a lot of meat. And be careful of all the tiny bones.

2. Ta'ameya (falafel)

Crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside, these deep-fried balls of spiced fava beans are a Middle Eastern vegetarian staple. Usually served in a pita with salad, pickles, and sesame-based tahina - buy it at a street stall for a quick, cheap meal.

Shops specializing in this popular ‘poor man’s dish’ can be found throughout Cairo. A hearty mix of rice, macaroni and lentils, chickpeas, and fried onions, koshary is topped with a tomato-vinegar sauce.

4. Ful medames

Don't leave Egypt without trying the classic dish of ful medames, which can be traced back to pharaonic times. Consisting of slow-cooked fava beans, served with olive oil, parsley, garlic, and lemon juice - add some spice by seasoning with chili paste and eat with bread.

5. Pastries

Delicious, sweet pastries are found in restaurants, markets, and cafes in Egypt. Never was there a better time to live by the adage ‘Life is short, eat dessert first’.

Egypt is a mostly Muslim country, and any consumption of alcohol here is relatively low-key. There are many fantastic alternatives. Juice stands are common on main streets offering freshly squeezed banana, guava, or mango juice. Karkadai is a chilled, crimson drink brewed from hibiscus leaves (served hot in the winter). And tea (or shai) is the beverage of choice for most Egyptians, which is sipped throughout the day and with meals.

Geography and environment

Located in the northeast corner of Africa, Egypt shares its borders with Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Libya, and Sudan, as well as the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the east. The two seas are connected by the man-made Suez Canal.

The remote triangle-shaped peninsula is largely characterized by limestone and desert, but also has a vibrant coral reef along the Red Sea coastline. Hot, dry desert covers most of the country’s terrain, with the Western Desert occupying much of the west, and the Arabian (or Eastern) Desert stretching the length of the eastern coast. These two regions are dissected by the Nile River, which runs the length of the country, emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile Valley, a narrow fertile band extending from the river, is the country’s only fertile land and where 98% of the population lives.

History and government

Recent history.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the infamous pint-sized French leader, invaded Egypt in 1798, seeking to set up a French colony. However, not long after, the French were repelled, and Egypt became a part of the Ottoman Empire once again.

From 1882, the British Army occupied Egypt to protect the Suez Canal. Muhammad Ali officially ruled from the early 1800s, and his family and successors continued to rule for decades (alongside and during British occupation) until overthrown by a military coup in 1952.

During World War II, Egypt became a crucial element in Britain's defense. The Italian Army tried to advance into Egypt in 1940 but was stopped by the British Army at Mersa Matruh. Egypt continued to serve as a vital base for British troops during World War II and despite the disruption, Egypt's shopkeepers and retail trade benefitted from the thousands of Allied troops staying in Egypt.

In 1953, Egypt was officially declared a republic, and a year later, Colonel Nasser was declared Prime Minister, then President. In 1979, after decades of confrontation with neighboring Israel, the historic Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty was signed. This agreement made Egypt the first Arab country to officially recognize Israel as a country - a significant step in the peace process. More recently, in February 2011, large-scale protests and mass demonstrations resulted in the removal of President Mubarak after decades of autocratic rule.

Early history

Ancient Egypt has been the focus of much fascination, investigation, speculation, and intrigue. It's hard to escape the education system without having studied Ancient Egypt in some way. Drawn in by the mighty pyramids, mysterious hieroglyphics, distinct burial rituals and animal-headed gods - scholars, students, historians, and travelers are all amazed by this civilization which has endured cycles of dynastic rule, invasion, and natural disasters.

Through key archaeological finds, historians have been able to unravel some of the mysteries of this great land. What is known is that the daily life of the average Egyptian usually involved working in agriculture with the waters of the Nile providing fertile ground for planting crops. Egyptians usually lived in modest homes with children and domestic pets. Professions were usually inherited - so if your father was a farmer, then so were you.

While most Egyptians led simple lives, dynasties of Pharaohs led lavish lifestyles, with the most well-known being Ramses II, Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, and Cleopatra. Huge monuments, imposing pyramids, golden artifacts, and detailed paintings all hold details about pharaonic rule and succession, as well as commonly held beliefs about religion and the afterlife.

Spanning centuries and full of drama worthy of a soap opera, the epic history of Ancient Egypt is complex and we suggest you read about it before visiting.

Top 10 ancient wonders of Egypt

1. grand designs.

The original grand design - monumental and magnificent - the Pyramids of Giza are an impressive achievement in ancient engineering. Towering above the desert sands and standing proudly for centuries, the first glimpse of these stunning structures will render visitors breathless.

2. Stony enigma

Be captivated by the mysterious aura of the Great Sphinx of Giza. This monolithic mythical beast possesses a lion’s body and a human head - and has sat quietly in the desert sands for eons. Gaze at the Sphinx and try to work out the riddle of its existence.

3. Mighty Nile River

No trip to Egypt is complete without visiting the Nile River - the life force of Egypt that has flowed for centuries. A provider of irrigation, an essential travel route, home to hippos and crocodiles, and now a source of leisure for locals and travelers alike, the Nile is an aquatic link to Egypt’s ancient heritage.

4. Terrific temples

Discover an enormous open-air museum like no other. The awe-inspiring Temples of Karnak are filled with stately statues, immense columns, and gigantic gateways. Explore this intriguing site and be left in no doubt about the brilliance of the ancient Egyptian civilization.

5. Holy mountain

Embark on a trek to the top of Mt Sinai and witness an incredible golden sunrise to remember. A place of worship for many faiths, a pilgrimage to Mt Sinai reveals stunning scenery, an ancient monastery and historic chapels. An iconic highlight of Egypt for believers and non-believers alike, Mt Sinai is not to be missed.

6. Double happiness

Located in the Nile Valley, the unique Temple of Kom Ombo is a ‘double temple’ and a rare archaeological find. Dedicated to two gods, a visit here is a true highlight of an Egyptian escapade. Marvel at the well-preserved wall reliefs, try to decipher the hieroglyphics and honour the craftsmen who created this wonder.

7. Museum magic

Step into a dazzling world of antiquity at the Egyptian Museum. Be amazed by the glittering treasures recovered from King Tutankhamun’s tomb – with jewelry, furniture, chariots and that famous gold funerary mask, this pharaoh was certainly prepared for the afterlife.

8. Roman ruins

The Roman ruins of Kom el-Dikka in Alexandria may not be the biggest, but they are certainly among the best-preserved in Egypt, if not the world. Soak up the atmosphere of the Roman amphitheater and imagine it in all its glory - packed with 800 spectators ready for action.

9. Colossal characters

Near the modern city of Luxor stand the imposing Colossi of Memnon. These massive stone statues of Amenhotep III, while badly damaged, still maintain an unmistakable air of authority. Stand below them and be dwarfed by the scale of these tremendous figures.

10. The ancient heart of Cairo

Wander the cobbled streets of Islamic Cairo and uncover the ancient heart of this chaotic city. Admire mosques, palaces and houses, and peruse the goods on offer at one of the world’s oldest bazaars. Dating back to medieval times, the Khan al-Khalili bazaar is where people have traded goods for centuries.

Souqs – or open-air bazaars – are both the best place to shop in Egypt and attractions in their own right. The biggest and most famous souq is the 500-year-old Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Cairo. Within the maze of narrow streets and laneways lie stalls selling jewelry, glass, copper, spices and artisan goods, along with more standard tourist fare. Quality can vary greatly so spend some time shopping around.

Like many markets around the world, bargaining is the norm, but Egyptians take it to another level. Expect to be offered tea (it can take that long) and for elaborate theatrics from the seller. While bazaars in Cairo tend to sell everything, visit Aswan’s bazaar for spices, incense, and basketwork, and Luxor for cheaply priced alabaster figurines and vases. It's also a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country.

Things to buy in Egypt

You’ll often see spices piled high in bazaars. In addition to making a great photo for Instagram, they’re often a good buy as long as you keep a couple of things in mind. Always buy whole spices rather than ground to ensure freshness and skip the ‘saffron’ – it’s actually safflower and tastes like dust.

2. Glassware

Hand-blown Muski glass, recognizable by its air bubbles, comes in brilliant shades of blue and green and purple and has been made in Egypt since medieval times. Be careful with this purchase though as it’s extremely fragile.

3. Cartouche

A kind of nameplate written in hieroglyphics. Most gold or silver shops sell these and many can customize them by engraving your name.

Festivals and events

Eid al-fitr.

After fasting for an entire month, Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr, or ‘Feast of Breaking the Fast’. For three days, starting on the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, people celebrate with feasts, family, and festivals. Look for vendors selling kahk cookies (nut-filled cookies covered in powdered sugar) while taking in the festivities, a tasty treat synonymous with Eid for many locals.

Eid al-Adha

Arguably the most important holiday in Egypt, the ‘Feast of Sacrifice’ is not one for vegetarians and vegans. About 70 days after Eid al-Fitr, sheep, and goats are slaughtered (often in the middle of the street) for a mighty feast.

Sham el-Nessim

Each year on March 21st, Egyptians celebrate the coming of spring by spending the day outdoors. Join the locals for this ancient holiday by packing a picnic and heading to a park or public garden.

Abu Simbel Sun Festival

As if the two temples dedicated to Ramses II and Queen Nefertari weren’t impressive enough, they were constructed in such a way that twice a year, the sun’s rays reach its innermost chambers and illuminate three stone gods that reside within, while leaving Ptah (god of the underworld) in the dark. And those days just happen to be Ramses’s birthday (October 21) and coronation (February 21). Coincidence? We think not.

A couple of pastries = EGP 49 Cup of tea or coffee = EGP 35-50 Falafel sandwich from a street stall = EGP 92 Sit-down dinner at a local restaurant = EGP 100-300

Can I drink the water in Egypt?

Drinking tap water isn’t recommended in Egypt. Remember to avoid drinks with ice and to peel fruit before eating it. Help the environment and try to avoid buying bottled water. Instead, fill a reusable water bottle with filtered water. Ask your leader or hotel where to find filtered water.

Credit cards are usually accepted by modern hotels, large retailers, and tourist sites but are less commonly accepted by smaller vendors in remote areas. Always carry enough cash for smaller purchases in case credit cards are not an option.

What is ATM access like in Egypt?

Is Egypt a safe destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Discretion is advised for LGBTQI travelers in Egypt. Though homosexuality is not officially outlawed, gay men have been prosecuted using debauchery and public morals laws and given long prison sentences. Be aware that signals are ambiguous in Egypt as men commonly hold hands, link arms and greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. As long as you use common sense, travel in Egypt should not be a problem.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex  or ILGA before you travel.

If you are traveling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travelers who do not wish to share a room.

What to wear in Egypt

Summer temperatures can get very high, so light fabrics like linen, cotton and athletic gear made to take the heat are best. If you’re traveling outside of winter, don’t underestimate the cool change that can come in the evenings, especially if you’re spending the night in the desert or on a Nile cruise. Avoid packing anything in white – desert dust will quickly turn those light-colored clothes a not-so-delightful shade of brown.

How will I travel around Egypt?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.

Where will I stay in Egypt?

What to pack for Egypt

People packing for a tour

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Adaptor plug

In Egypt, the standard voltage is 220 V and the power plugs and sockets are of type C and F. The standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Comfortable shoes

From exploring the Great Pyramids of Giza, to wandering the Botanical Gardens, you’ll need a comfortable pair of shoes on your Egypt holiday.

Light clothing

Egypt is known for its blazing heat, so it’s best to wear light, loose-fit clothing. Since Egypt is a Muslim country, you’ll need to ensure your shoulders and knees are covered.

The sunshine can be blinding in Egypt, so bring a pair of sunglasses to protect you from the sun rays and the sandy desert.

Protect yourself from the sun with SPF 30 or higher and be sure to apply it regularly. It’s also advised to bring a hat and a light scarf to shield your skin.

Often considered the most extraordinary open-air museum in the world, Luxor boasts an imposing array of ruins and monuments.

The graceful Temple of Luxor was built over several centuries by Amenhopis III, Tutankhamun, Ramses II and Alexander the Great and features an avenue of sphinxes. We’ll also tour the ancient temple complex of Karnak. The immense wealth of Thebes was spent embellishing and building temples in honor of Amun-Ra, the most important and powerful of ancient Egyptian gods. The balance of the day is at your leisure.

Egypt - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Marvel at the ancient pyramids of Giza, learn medieval history through the mummies, or visit the plenty churches and monasteries, when on a tour in Egypt

Egypt, located in North East Africa, is one of the most popular African nations. You can marvel at the ancient pyramids of Giza , learn medieval history through the mummies, or visit the plenty churches and monasteries culminating from a rich Jewish and Christian heritage like the Saint Catherine's Monastery. Many people don't know that Egypt also offers great diving opportunities for the traveler interested in aquatic activities.

Tour Highlights

  • Visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo , that provides an ideal start when learning about some Egyptian artifacts of antiquity.
  • Cairo in particular offers a wide variety of coffee shops. In fact, going to one is a great way to get acquainted with some of the locals.
  • Check out the Cairo Tower. Why wouldn't you want to eat dinner on the top of the tallest structure in Egypt?
  • Enjoy the nightlife. Egypt has integrated popular current western music surprisingly well into its clubs and bars. After enjoying some Trance, you're liable to hear a few Arabic tunes as well.
  • Go to the Haram District that offers a great variety of outdoor adventures such as horseback rides and tours.
  • Take a tour through the Nile River. Going to Eastern Africa, without at least seeing the longest river in the world, the Nile, would be nothing short of missing out.

Travel Tips

  • While on a holiday in Cairo, Egypt's capital and one of its biggest cities, take precautions to keep your belongings safe. Pickpocketing, in particular, is a recurring crime. Best to leave your valuables at the hotel safe.
  • Drink bottled water. Egyptian tap water is not recommended for regular daily consumption.
  • Tourism offices can be the source of plenty of information for inquiring travelers.

Egypt tours reviews, egypt tours f.a.q.

The average cost of an Egypt tour varies depending on factors such as duration, accommodation, activities and level of luxury. However, a moderate 7 to 10-day tour typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 per person, which includes major attractions such as the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, and Aswan.

The best months for a Nile cruise are usually between October and April when the weather is mild and more comfortable for sightseeing. During these months, temperatures are cooler, and the risk of extreme heat is less, providing ideal conditions to explore Egypt's historical sites along the river.

A four-night cruise affords enough time to see the Nile’s major highlights including the temples of Luxor and Abu Simbel, while a more leisurely paced seven-night cruise reveals a wealth of additional less-frequented sites, such as Dra Abu Nag and the magnificent Medinet Habu, built by Ramses III.

Yes, visitors are allowed into select interior chambers of one of Giza’s three most iconic pyramids. The Giza Pyramid Complex (or Giza Necropolis) also comprises some ancillary pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza.

Aswan and Abu Simbel are can’t-miss sites in Upper Egypt. Fronting the Nile, Aswan boast a wealth of monumental treasures, including the Philae temple complex, the Temple of Isis and the Temple of Khnum. Located southwest of Aswan, the small Nubian village of Abu Simbel is renowned for its two massive rock-cut temples, both built during the reign of King Ramses II (1200 BC).

Egyptologists are experts who study the language, history and culture of ancient Egypt, a period dating back to 7,000 BC. Their skillsets span humanities disciplines such as literary theory to hard sciences, including the physics of radiocarbon dating. Leading every journey to Egypt, all of JtE Guides and Resident Tour Directors are also trained Egyptologists, revealing privileged insights every step of the way.

Yes, a tourist visa is required for U.S. and Canadian passport holders for entry into Egypt. JtE recommends an electronic visa (eVisa). To apply online, visit visa2egypt.gov.eg/eVisa/Home.

What travelers say about our Egypt tours

Travel tips for egypt trips.

When it comes to picking the perfect time for your Egypt vacations and other Africa tours , the weather is one of the most important things to think about. Egypt experiences mild to very hot temperatures year-round, especially when you are farther inland. The most pleasant weather can be experienced from October through April, which is also when the country gets the most visitors. Egypt's peak tourist season starts in December and continues through January, so prepare to contend with some crowds at famous sites like the Pyramids of Giza and Temples of Luxor.

Temperatures soar well into the nineties from May through September. If hot weather is right up your alley and summertime trips to Egypt call you, you'll be rewarded with fewer crowds at the country's most famous sites. Just keep in mind that Ramadan also occurs during the summer months, and shops and attractions tend to close a bit early during this time.

Egypt calls to mind pyramids, pharaohs, sphinxes, and tombs, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to experience these iconic sites during Egypt tours with us. When you choose our Egypt guided tour packages, you'll travel to the country's can't-miss destinations securely while enjoying in-depth guidance from an expert Egyptologist, who'll be with you every step of the way.

Main cities are the places to discover how ancient history mingles with modern life on Egypt tour packages. Here a few sites to marvel at on our ** Egypt & the Nile **tour:

The Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx in Giza, which are two of the top destinations in Egypt

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa in Alexandria, Egypt’s second-largest city

The Aswan High Dam in Aswan

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and a beautiful array of Islamic architecture in Cairo

Of course, one of the best ways to see all that Egypt has to offer is from the storied Nile, which passes some of the country's most famous sites. Hop aboard a Nile River cruise on our Egypt vacations to see:

The Temples of Karnak and Luxor

The West Bank

The Valley of the Kings

Edfu’s Temple of Horus

The Temple of Kom Ombo

Thanks to the rich soil of the Nile River Valley and the Delta, Egypt's cuisine is supplemented by bountiful harvests of vegetables, fruits, and legumes. Popular ingredients you'll taste on Egypt group tours include fava beans, lentils, chickpeas, eggplant, zucchini, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, and citrus fruits. Spices like cumin, coriander, and cardamom are typical in many Egyptian dishes, as is a clarified butter called ghee.

Lunch is the biggest meal of the day. While meals usually center around vegetables and stews, some meat dishes are also popular. Here are some of the bites to seek out on trips to Egypt:

  • Lamb kebabs
  • Skewered, spiced meat patties called kofta
  • Eish baladi , Egyptian bread that's similar to pita bread and is commonly used to scoop up food
  • A hearty dish called kushari , which is a mixture of pasta, rice, chickpeas, lentils, tomato sauce, and fried onions
  • Baba ghanoush
  • Stuffed grape leaves
  • Fish from the Red Sea
  • Tea, the national drink, which is offered at breakfast, after lunch, and in most social situations

Keep in mind that you should only drink bottled water on Egypt guided tours. It's best not to drink tap water, including when brushing your teeth, and you should avoid eating fresh fruits and vegetables unless they are cooked or washed in clean water and peeled.

Group travel to Egypt is always amazing, but having the right stuff in your suitcase makes every trip better! The country experiences high temperatures and many iconic sites are in desert locations, so a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and light layers will help protect you from the sun. If you're traveling between October and April, bring a warmer layer for when the temperatures dip in the evenings.

Even when it's hot out, it's best to be respectful of the more conservative customs in the country by covering shoulders and knees. Don't fret—you can still stay relatively cool by taking a page from the ancient Egyptians and wearing light, breathable fabrics like linen! And, get ready to explore all Egypt has to offer by packing a sturdy pair of walking shoes.

Toss a small bottle of hand sanitizer and tissues in your day bag, just in case; you'll be happy you have them if you come upon a public restroom where other facilities aren't available. Pack a small first-aid kit in your carry-on, and be sure to ask your healthcare provider about any over-the-counter medications you plan to bring with you as some may not be permitted in Egypt.

Client Testimonials

Thank you, thank you, thank you... these words just aren’t enough to express how amazing our trip was from beginning to end. The beginning started a year ago with your helping us plan the ideal trip, your fabulous and enjoyable communications, and then extended to our days with you and your team in Egypt. WOW!!! You really outdid yourself. As I said before, you are the best of any trip planner I have ever used. Your trips are simply perfection.

I cannot say often enough how much our trip to Egypt meant to us. Your staff made our daily adventures to temples, tombs and museums fantastic journeys to ancient Egypt awesome to say the least. I still get goose bumps when I think of the wonders that Peggy and I saw. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime made even more perfect thanks to you and Egypt Elite. Again, thank you so much for making our trip to Egypt one for the history books. I will always remember with fondness how you, the guides, drivers and staff worked so hard to insure that our visit was perfect.

We could absolutely not have had such a great experience without you and Egypt Elite. Anyone who THINKS of going to Egypt without at least considering your assistance either has been to Egypt many times before or is woefully ignorant of what to expect. Even Ruth and I, who consider ourselves to be fairly adventurous and "figure it out as we go" folks, would have been MISERABLE without your help. I mean, we rented a car and drove all around Jordan. Can you imagine our surprise trying to do that in Cairo for the first time?!? From the transportation to the entry tickets to visas to TIPS (This is SO huge because I REALLY want to take care of everyone and I know you do) to the recommendations, EVERYTHING was so well organized and stress-free that it  was made for SUCH a reduced-stress adventure. Thank you.

"In all our years of family international travel, our trip to Egypt marked the first time I've turned over planning to someone else. From just a few e-mails, John immediately understood what we wanted. He and his team provided a perfectly-curated experience. We had the best, most engaging guides and expert drivers. Our hotels were also experiences and we felt safe with our teen boys exploring around them on their own. No detail was overlooked and when Egypt Air canceled the first flight of our journey home, John went above and beyond to re-route us so we would still have our rest day. Family travel fills my heart and John made sure this trip exceeded all expectations. Exploring the world is a priority for our family and having Egypt Elite manage this dream trip made it exactly that."

“We were a little nervous to go to Egypt but this turned out to be one of the best trips we have ever been on. We never once felt unsafe or unwanted in Egypt. The tour leaders were wonderful and all the hotels and places we visited were 1st class. What a great trip and I will use Egypt Elite again.”

“Egypt Elite, John and my new Egypt family are the best! If you want to take a tour to Egypt, Egypt Elite is the absolute best company and guided tour to choose! I am a control freak when it comes to traveling and I can say it felt good to just relax and see that all the details were taken care of by the Egypt Elite team exactly as I would want them to be handled. Your money will go far in Egypt and you will only have to come out of pocket for your extra interests/activities! Eman and Dalia’s knowledge of the tours are extensive and animated which will definitely capture your attention! Their passion for their people and history will make you fall in love with the Egyptian culture! Finally, I celebrated my birthday on the May trip with John, Dalia, Eman and my tour group family who helped it be one to remember!”

“Deciding to go to Egypt with Egypt Elite may have been the single best decision I’ve made in my life. This is the most AMAZING company – I honestly felt like they made my experience in a new country way more rich and enlightening than if I had gone by myself.  Even before the trip began, our lead guide himself periodically reached out to us so that we could be acquainted with him.  A cool thing about Egypt Elite is that trips are led by Americans who are either ex-pats living in the Middle East or are very familiar with the region so that we as tourists feel a little bit more comfortable.  We also had two local guides as well as a local support staff who were with us on our journey across 4 cities.  Egypt Elite really made the trip for me with their care for all the little details.  I cannot thank Egypt Elite enough for taking me on the trip of a lifetime and absolutely recommend anyone going to the region to go with them! You won’t regret it!”

“Took a trip to Egypt with Egypt Elite and it was the best decision I could possibly make! You’re well taken care of from beginning to end from your hotels, to transportation in the country, to entry fees, even including most of your meals. We had the perfect combo of tour guides who made the trip even more amazing with their knowledge and passion for their job. Wanna ride a camel? Climb a pyramid? Go four wheeling in the desert? Learn more about Egypt than you ever thought possible and in a fun way? Egypt Elite has you covered. They take care of the hassle so you don’t have to! You won’t be disappointed!”

“This trip includes everything, from admissions to all of the amazing sites you will visit, to a five star hotel on the Nile, to irresistible snickers and water on car rides. Beyond all (and it is A LOT) that is included in this package, Egypt Elite helps you find other AMAZING opportunities to truly make this trip a once in a lifetime experience. When is the last time you lead a caravan of four wheelers through the Red Sea desert, climbed inside a pyramid to gaze in awe at the tiny tomb surrounded by such a massive structure, or snorkeled in the Red Sea? Thanks to Egypt Elite my answer is 2 months ago.”

“This was the first time we’ve joined a tour. The tour exceeded our expectations. We thought that like any other tourists, we would just pose and take pictures. Our knowledgeable and experienced tour guides were excellent on delivering our once in a lifetime adventure. It almost was as if ancient Egypt came to life during our tour with passionate narrations. Of course, we had our concerns and apprehensions on this tour considering the political scenes in Egypt. On deciding to purchase, our Tour Leader was attentive, prompt and up-to-date on responding on some issues we had. What more can we ask for? Most of all, we felt very comfortable throughout the entire trip in terms accommodations and transportation. Thank you Egypt Elite for a great adventure.”

“This was an amazing vacation! Egypt Elite thinks of everything. The hotels were phenomenal, the staff on the trip were super knowledgeable and friendly, and the sites... What can you say! We saw everything and then some. The travel between places was so luxurious. Best buses I’ve ever seen anywhere, let alone Egypt! All the time the most amazing tour guide ever is telling us everything there is to know about each place. Rather than just seeing the sites, we were learning to understand the places and the history. I can’t say enough about how professional, generous, talented and loving the staff were and I absolutely recommend them for your next adventure!

“I travel a lot and the truth is...John and Egypt Elite is the best that I have ever encountered. From the value for your dollar, to the services that he offers, the experiences of a lifetime, personal attention to detail and your happiness, the warm, fuzzy feelings you get because you realize you have made friends for a lifetime, and the list goes on. I got to see a large part of Egypt all under the safety umbrella of their care and couldn’t imagine doing it any other way. All my friends thought I was crazy to visit a country that seems to be in the news all the time but I was completely at ease and safe at all times. My advice - go see Egypt, go with Egypt Elite and go now. I promise you will love it.”

“Took a May trip to Egypt with Egypt Elite and the tour guides are a truly dynamic, professional and genuinely engaging team. The trip didn’t have one dull moment, the hotel accommodations were excellent, and the itinerary of activities was excellently planned and executed. Definitely looking forward to taking a another trip with Egypt Elite and highly recommend this company to anyone seeking a trip to Egypt.”

“My sisters and I traveled with Egypt Elite in May. From the very first contact with them a few months before the trip, to our return home, we had a fantastic experience! I can’t begin to explain how helpful John was on the trip. From taking one sister to the market late the first night to buy some forgotten items, to helping us arrange a final tour on our last day, to escorting us to the airport and even checking on us at our gate before we departed. John was available at all times, and was truly eager to help. This was service above and beyond our expectations.  I have never posted a review before, and I never had much interest in doing so, but I recently contacted another tour company about a trip to Peru and it made us appreciate just how stellar Egypt Elite was. I said there is no way we are taking this other tour after John and Egypt Elite set the benchmark so high. When you travel to a foreign country with a very different culture you need to be with experienced people who have your interests at heart. Egypt Elite proved that to us early on and never, ever, disappointed.”

Egypt is a living archaeological site... and through it flows the Nile, the lifeblood of the nation and the people as it has been since the dawn of time; antiquities tell this ancient civilization's compelling story.

Egypt Tours

  • ITINERARIES

Welcome to Egypt

One of the most fascinating countries on Earth, Egypt is a vast, living archaeological site whose world-renowned antiquities tell this ancient civilization's compelling story, which has unfolded over some 5,000 years... explore Egypt's historic and cultural treasures – many of which are tucked away in remote desert locations, and have attracted travelers for centuries – firsthand, on unforgettable journeys including cruises on the Egyptian nation's lifeblood, the timeless Nile River. 

The pyramids of giza, wonders of the ancient world... giza's pyramids & sphinx.

The only largely intact survivor of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World," the Great Pyramid of Giza (a.k.a. the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is one of the most recognizable landmarks on Earth… and reigned as the world's tallest man-made structure for nearly 4,000 years! Completed sometime around 2500 BC, it's the oldest and largest of the complex known as the Great Pyramids of Giza, which also includes the Pyramids of Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mykerinos), as well as the Great Sphinx, from about the same period as the Great Pyramid. Who built the Sphinx and why is still a mystery that's lasted more than 3,000 years… as you'll learn on your visit to this remarkable site.

The Valley of the Kings

Discovering egypt's valley of the kings.

Nestled in Egypt's Theban hills west of the Nile River, near today's Luxor, stands the Valley of the Kings – where, between the 16th and 11th centuries BC, complexes of tombs were cut out of the rock to house the remains of the Pharaohs and other nobles of Egypt's New Kingdom, and prepare them for the afterlife. This UNESCO World Heritage Site contains more than 60 identified tombs and chambers. While many were once filled with treasures, most have been plundered through the ages… with the exception of that of the famous tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered intact in the 1920s, whose artifacts and remains have been removed and preserved. Visiting any of these tombs today is an experience not to be missed.

Oberoi Philae & Zahra

Cruising the nile aboard oberoi philae & oberoi zahra.

Tauck's "Egypt: Jewels of the Nile" and "Jordan & Egypt: Petra to the Pyramids" journeys feature 4- and 3-night cruises on the timeless River Nile aboard the Oberoi Philae and the Oberoi Zahra. With only 22 and 27 luxury cabins respectively, Oberoi Philae and Oberoi Zahra offer spacious private accommodations with standard luxury cabins (284 sq. ft.) and luxury suites (538 sq. ft.), large windows framing panoramic Nile River views; each ship's amenities include a spa, fitness center, swimming pool, bar / lounge, cinema, elevator, high-speed wifi, library, and gaming area.

Take a Free Virtual Tour of Five Egyptian Heritage Sites

The sites include the 5,000-year-old tomb of Meresankh III, the Red Monastery and the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Barquq

Theresa Machemer

Correspondent

Red Monastery VR tour

Earlier this month, Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the release of five new virtual tours of historic sites, adding to the range of online adventures that you can now embark on from home.

The tours explore the tomb of Meresankh III , the tomb of Menna , the Ben Ezra Synagogue , the Red Monastery and the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Barquq . Each virtual experience features detailed 3-D imagery through which users can “walk” by clicking hotspots along the structures’ floors.

As James Stewart reports for the Guardian , the tours boast “beefed up” 3-D modeling made by experts with Harvard University’s Giza Project . Unlike their real counterparts, most of which charge a small entry fee, the virtual renderings are free to all.

“The virtual tours target both [international] tourists and Egyptians, a ministry spokesperson tells Al-Monitor ’s Amira Sayed Ahmed. “They serve the double purpose of promoting Egyptian tourism nationwide and increasing Egyptians' awareness of their own civilization.”

Two of the tours—the tombs of Meresankh III and elite Egyptian official Menna —include background information accessible by clicking circles overlaid atop specific features. The former’s tomb, dated to some 5,000 years ago, is the oldest of the Egyptian sites available as a virtual walkthrough. Meresankh, a queen wed to King Khafre, was the daughter of Prince Kawab and Hetepheres II of the fourth dynasty, and the granddaughter of Great Pyramid builder Cheops, also known as Khufu.

Harvard archaeologist George Andrew Reisner discovered the queen’s tomb in 1927. He later stated that “None of us had ever seen anything like it.” Today, the burial place’s paintings and carvings remain well-preserved, showcasing hunters catching water birds, bakers making triangular loaves of bread and servants holding offerings.

In the northern chamber, along the wall furthest from the virtual tour’s starting point, ten statues of women stand shoulder to shoulder—an unusual sight among Gaza tombs. The statues “serve to emphasize Meresankh’s position among her queenly relatives,” the tour explains. Along the path to the 16-foot-deep burial shaft, users pass a pair of statues depicting Meresankh and her mother, Hetepheres II, with their arms around each other.

The path leads down a spiraling staircase into the burial shaft, where Meresankh’s black granite sarcophagus—originally created for her mother but re-engraved upon the queen’s death in 2532 B.C., according to the History Blog —was originally found. The tour includes a reconstructed image of the chamber with the sarcophagus in place, but the actual coffin is now kept at the Egyptian Antiquities Museum in Cairo.

The tomb of Menna, dated to the 18th dynasty (about 1549 B.C to 1292 B.C.), is “one of the most visited and best preserved” from the era, the ministry writes in a statement quoted by Live Science ’s Laura Geggel. The tomb’s decorations suggest the elite official was a scribe in charge of the pharaoh’s fields and the temple of sun god Amun-Re.

Menna’s tomb also includes informational blurbs highlighting such features as paintings of the scribe’s family, including his wife Henuttawy and their five children. Curiously, all of the paintings of Menna have been defaced.

“The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul of a person inhabited paintings of them and destroying the face would ‘deactivate’ the image,” the tour notes. “Why would someone want to destroy the memory of Menna?”

The tomb also served as a point of communication with the dead. It once featured life-size statues of Menna and Henuttawy that family members could make offerings to, ask for favors or visit during festivals.

The other three tours do not offer information blurbs at this time, but they still have plenty of detailed 3-D imagery for virtual visitors to explore. The Red Monastery , a Coptic church in Upper Egypt, features ornate frescoes, while the 14th-century Mosque-Madrassa is known for its immense size and innovative architecture. The Ben Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo is alleged to be the site where baby Moses was found.

“Experience Egypt from home,” says the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities on Facebook . “Stay home. Stay safe.”
