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.
