Stay at Marriott Mena House, Cairo, Giza — one of our hand-picked five-star properties, chosen so your evenings live up to what you saw that day.

Your itinerary includes time in the desert around Kom Ombo — the kind of moment that's hard to book once you're already there.
A single journey spanning Cairo → Giza → Aswan → Luxor, each stop with its own guide and pace rather than a single itinerary stretched too thin.
Group size on this journey: 8-12 — intimate enough that your private Egyptologist adjusts the pace to you, not the other way around.
A private, professionally trained Egyptologist accompanies you throughout — no shared coach, no megaphone, no rushing to keep up with a group.
A dedicated concierge based in Egypt is reachable around the clock for the length of your trip, for anything from a restaurant table to a change of plans.


We design boutique Egypt travel for guests who want more than a checklist of pyramids — private access, hand-picked hotels, and a team on the ground who treat every detail as personal.


Every journey is led by a private, professionally trained Egyptologist — not a shared coach tour with a megaphone. You set the pace; they bring 5,000 years of history to life.

Group size on this journey: 8-12 — small enough that a temple visit feels like a discovery, not a queue.

We personally vet every property on your itinerary — from Marriott Mena House, Cairo to boutique dahabiyas on the river — so each night matches the standard of the day before it.

A dedicated concierge is reachable around the clock throughout your trip, on the ground in Egypt — not a call center reading from a script.

Two decades of relationships across Cairo, Giza, Aswan, and Luxor mean access most operators simply don't have: early museum entry, private felucca sunsets, tables at restaurants without a sign.

Every private Nile cruise and boutique Egypt travel itinerary we build starts from a conversation with you, not a brochure.

Let our travel experts turn this itinerary into your own bespoke Egyptian story.
