I enjoyed myself immensely! This trip experience is one that I will never forget, and that's just putting it mildly. Our Tour Guide, Prince, was far beyond impressive.

Egypt Tours: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an Egypt tour cost?

With Egypt For Travel, private Egypt tour packages start from $349 per person for 3 days in Cairo. Our classic 8-day Cairo and Nile cruise package starts from $1,399 per person, Nile cruises between Luxor and Aswan start from $549, and private day tours start from $55. Prices are per person sharing a double room and depend on the season, the hotel and ship category and the group size. Every quote is free and arrives within 2 hours.

How many days do I need in Egypt?

Most travellers need 7 to 8 days for a first trip: 3 nights in Cairo for the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then a 3 or 4-night Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. With 10 to 12 days you can add Abu Simbel, the Red Sea or Alexandria. With only 4 or 5 days, choose Cairo and Luxor. Our advisors build the right length around your dates.

Is Egypt For Travel a licensed tour operator?

Yes. Egypt For Travel holds Egyptian Tourism Authority licence No. 1947 (Category A), issued in 2010, and our US company, Egypt For Travel LLC, is registered in New Mexico, USA (Reg. No. 0008123538). Our office is at 39 Zohair Sabry St., Nasr City, Cairo. More than 10,000 travellers from over 30 countries have travelled with us, and we are rated 5.0 on TripAdvisor.

When is the best time to visit Egypt?

October to April is the best time to visit Egypt, with warm, sunny days that suit sightseeing in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. December and January are the busiest months, so book early. From May to September it is very hot in Upper Egypt, often above 40 °C, but prices are lower and visits start early in the morning. The Red Sea is good for swimming all year.

Are your Egypt tours private or group tours?

Our tours are private: you travel with your own Egyptologist guide and air-conditioned car, at your own pace, with daily departures. Only a few special programs, such as our Eclipse 2027 departures, are fixed-date group trips. Every itinerary can be changed to fit your dates, interests and budget.

How can I get a visa to visit Egypt?

Travellers from the USA, the UK, the European Union and many other countries can get a single-entry tourist visa on arrival at Egyptian airports or apply online for an e-visa before travel. The official fee is US$30. Our team meets you inside the airport and helps with the visa and passport control. Check your nationality's rules before you travel.

Is it safe to travel to Egypt?

Keep your current answer if you are happy with it. Make sure it mentions that tourist areas are well protected, that you are met at the airport and accompanied by your own guide and driver, and that we are available 24/7 during the trip.

Do you offer Spanish, German or Portuguese-speaking guides?

Yes. Our licensed Egyptologist guides speak English, Spanish, German and Portuguese, and other languages can be arranged on request. Tell us your language when you ask for a quote.

Can I customise my Egypt tour?

Yes. Every package can be changed: add days, choose your hotel or Nile cruise category, add Abu Simbel, a hot-air balloon ride or the Red Sea, or start from scratch with a tailor-made trip. Send us your dates and ideas, and an advisor replies with a personal plan and price within 2 hours (8:00–22:00 Cairo time).

How do I book and pay for my trip?

Send the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp at +20 155 555 2466. We confirm your itinerary and price in writing, then you secure the booking with a deposit by bank transfer or card (Visa or Mastercard). We accept US dollars, euros and pounds sterling.
