Tour Highlights
Giza Pyramids Complex
The last standing wonder of the ancient world sits on a desert plateau a few minutes from our hotel. Your Egyptologist explains how three generations of kings turned limestone into eternity, and where to stand for the classic panorama.
Grand Egyptian Museum
The world’s largest museum dedicated to one civilisation. Climb the Grand Staircase lined with royal statues, meet the colossus of Ramses II in the atrium and see the complete Tutankhamun treasure displayed together for the first time.
Hot-Air Balloon over Luxor
Float above the West Bank as the sun lifts over the Nile, with temples, villages and sugar-cane fields spread out below. A once-in-a-lifetime way to see ancient Thebes.
Valley of the Kings
Hidden in the Theban hills, the royal necropolis holds more than sixty tombs. Your ticket covers three of them, with colours that still look freshly painted; Tutankhamun’s tomb can be added.
Nile Cruise between Luxor & Aswan
Unpack once and let the river do the rest. Days are spent visiting temples, afternoons on the sun deck watching palm groves, villages and fishermen slide past.
Edfu Temple of Horus
The best-preserved temple in Egypt, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. Its walls tell the story of Horus’ battle with Seth, and its towering pylon is unforgettable.
Philae Temple
Reached by a short motorboat ride, the island temple of Isis was rescued from the rising Nile and rebuilt stone by stone – one of the most romantic settings in Egypt.
Felucca Sail on the Nile
Glide around Elephantine and Kitchener’s islands on a traditional wooden sailboat, with nothing but the wind and the call of birds – best at sunset.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a visa for Egypt?
Most nationalities can buy a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo airport for US$25, or apply online for an e-visa before travelling. Our representative meets you before passport control and helps with the process.
When is the best time to visit Egypt?
October to April is the most comfortable season for sightseeing, with sunny days around 20–28°C. Summer is hot in Luxor and Aswan but perfect for the Red Sea, and we adjust touring hours to early mornings.
Are your tours private?
Yes. Unless a tour is marked as a small-group departure, you travel only with your own party, with a private guide and air-conditioned vehicle.
Can I change an itinerary?
Every itinerary is a starting point. Add days, swap hotels, include a balloon ride or a beach stay – tell us what you would like and we will send an updated plan and price.
How do I book and pay?
