So how do you know what is your perfect tour to Egypt? Well, have a look at our guide below to help you realise what you want to do and get the most from your special time away.
Do I want to visit the Pyramids? If you just want to visit Egypt to take in the awe-inspiring site of The Pyramids, then Classic Cairo is for you. This includes a full day guided tour of the last of the ‘Seven Wonders of the Ancient World’ as well as a visit to the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum, with an Egyptologist taking you everywhere you want to go. Looking for more of Egypt? We’ve got you covered. You can add a Nile cruise to your trip with our Legends of Cairo and The Nile.
Do I want to do a Nile cruise? The Nile cruises travel from Luxor to Aswan, visiting all the amazing sites along the river including Valley of Kings, Luxor & Karnak Temples, Aswan (including High Dam & gateway to Abu Simbel). If you just want to do a Nile cruise, then the 7 Day Nile Cruise is for you. If you want to do a Nile cruise & see the Pyramids, then Legends of Cairo & The Nile is the one for you. If you want to do all this but also spend some extra time in Luxor, then we have The Grand Egyptian Journey for you.
Do I want to visit the Valley of Kings (Tutankhamun), Luxor & Karnak Temples? If you are looking to experience the wonders of ‘The World’s Largest Open Air Museum’ then our Classic Luxor trip is for you. This can be extended with a Nile cruise too in our Echoes of the Nile tour.
Do I want to relax on a beach? The Red Sea Riviera is one of the best beach resort areas in the world. With world class snorkelling and diving available. If all you want to do is chill on a beach, then we’ve got you with our Red Sea Relax break for you. Want to combine this with a week exploring the Nile too? Then our Nile Cruise & Red Sea Escape is the one for you and you can even add on a day trip to the Pyramids too.
I just want to do Cairo & Luxor. For a history and sites overload, without the boats, we have our Pyramids & Kings tour.
I want to do everything! We understand. It is hard to leave any of this out. If this is the case then you will want our Complete Egypt Tour. Which as the name suggests, includes EVERYTHING! Even opportunities to add on tours of Alexandria, The Suez Canal, Lake Nasser & even the lesser known pyramids!
Remember, all of these tours can be tailored to your needs. So if you want to stay longer somewhere or shorter somewhere else, we can do this for you. We can even add on trips to Jordan (think Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum), Qatar, Tunisia, Morocco, Cyprus & Crete!
Helpful extra questions to consider:
Do I want it to be hot? A great year round destination, it is worth bearing in mind that Egypt can be very hot in the peak summer season (June-September). Especially if you are planning a lot of site seeing.
Can I fly from a regional airport? Most of our tours are based on flights from London or maybe Manchester, as these airports fly to Luxor and Cairo. If you want a regional departure, then consider adding in a bit of the Red Sea to your Egypt trip. Even if this is just for a few days at the start and end as there are lost more flights to Hurghada from smaller airports in the UK.
Will I have to do lots of walking? Nile cruises and the pyramids site can involve lots of walking. Our ground team in Egypt however, will make sure you are always comfortable. They know all the short-cuts to take where necessary (buggies, closest drop offs etc).
