The Experience

Along the way you ride a camel at Giza, learn Middle Eastern pastry making at an Egyptian patisserie, see henna painting demonstrated and visit a perfume shop in Aswan, before flying to Abu Simbel.

A private Egyptologist guide and all internal flights are included, and the route takes in Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and Philae, so you can focus on the sites. Not sure what to bring? Our what to pack for Egypt guide goes month by month. You can also browse our Egypt tours for solo travellers or compare the 9-day solo itinerary.

What Our Guests Say

Voices From the Journey

Real stories from travelers who trusted us with their journey through Egypt.

"I'll be honest I almost canceled this trip after reading so many conflicting opinions online. From my very first email, Hamdy patiently answered every question without ever making me feel pressured to book. When we landed in Cairo, Magdy was already waiting outside arrivals, and within an hour I realized I'd spent weeks worrying for nothing. Looking back, what I'll remember most isn't just the pyramids, but how easy the entire journey felt."

"We changed our flights twice before departure, so I expected the planning to become complicated. Instead, Hamdy updated our itinerary, adjusted our hotel reservation, and explained every change clearly. Once we arrived, everything happened exactly as promised. I normally organize my own trips, but this was one of the few vacations where I could simply enjoy the experience instead of managing it."

"The Grand Egyptian Museum was one of the main reasons we came to Egypt, but spending the day with Amr Youssef made it even better. He somehow turned every gallery into a conversation instead of a lecture. We stayed longer than planned because I kept asking questions, and no one ever made us feel rushed. That flexibility made a bigger difference than I expected."

"A few weeks before traveling, we decided we'd rather switch from a small group experience to a private tour. I honestly expected that to be difficult, but Christine handled everything quickly and kept us updated until we arrived. By the time we reached Egypt, the entire trip felt effortless. It's the kind of service you don't fully appreciate until you've experienced it."
