    The Experience

    This 9-day Egypt tour for solo travellers is built for people travelling alone, with a private vehicle, an Egyptologist guide and every transfer handled for you. Cairo and the Giza Pyramids come first, then a flight to Aswan and three nights on a five-star Nile cruise to Luxor, taking in Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings and Karnak.

    The journey ends on the Mediterranean coast in Alexandria before you return to Cairo for departure. You travel alone but never unsupported, and our guide to whether Egypt is safe for Americans answers the questions most solo guests ask first. Timings stay flexible, so you set the pace each morning. For a longer route with a sleeper train, see the 12-day solo itinerary, or browse all Egypt tours for solo travellers.

    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."
