How it works

  1. Send us the basics

    Use the form above or message us on WhatsApp: your dates (or roughly when), how many are travelling, the places on your list and the kind of hotel you like.

  2. We reply within 24 hours

    A member of our team in Egypt answers your questions and asks a few of our own, about your pace, interests and budget.

  3. You receive a proposal

    A day-by-day itinerary with named hotels or Nile cruise, what is included and what isn't, and the price per person.

  4. We refine it together

    Swap a hotel, add a day in Aswan, take a dahabiya instead of a cruise ship, or slow the pace. Changes are free at this stage.

  5. You confirm and travel

    Once you're happy, a deposit secures everything, and we stay reachable on WhatsApp from the moment you land until you fly home.

What you can customise

Almost everything is your choice rather than a fixed part of a package.

Route and length

Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, plus Abu Simbel, Alexandria, the Red Sea or the desert oases, with as many nights as you like in each.

Pace

Early starts to beat the heat and crowds, free afternoons, rest days, or something every day.

Hotels

From comfortable, good-value hotels to the grand historic palaces by the Pyramids and the Nile.

The Nile

A 3 or 4-night cruise ship, a slower dahabiya sailing boat, or hotels in Luxor and Aswan with no cruise.

Getting around

Domestic flights, the overnight sleeper train, or a private car, depending on time and budget.

Guiding

A private Egyptologist guide at every site, in English, Spanish or another language on request.

Extras

A sunrise balloon flight over Luxor, special tombs, a felucca sail, a Nubian village, or snorkelling in the Red Sea.

Special occasions

Honeymoons, anniversaries and big birthdays, with the details planned around them.

What a trip costs

Usual price per person, per day, sharing a double room, worked out from the trips on our website. It includes hotels or the cruise, private guided visits, transfers and the entrance fees in the itinerary.

Tailor-made Egypt

What a day in Egypt costs

From trips of 4 days or more. The middle half of each style's prices is shown, so most trips fall inside the bar.

What changes your price

  • Hotel and cruise level. The biggest single factor, as the chart shows.
  • Flights or train. Domestic flights save time; the sleeper train saves a hotel night.
  • Group size. The guide and car are shared, so the price per person falls as your group grows. Travelling alone adds a single-room supplement.
  • Season. May to September is usually cheaper; Christmas, New Year and Easter are the busiest and most expensive weeks.
  • Extras. Abu Simbel, balloon flights, special tombs and Red Sea nights add to the total.

How many days you need

4 to 6 days

Cairo and the Pyramids, with a short trip to Luxor or Alexandria. Good as a stopover or a first taste.

See all 172 trips

7 to 9 days

The classic trip: Cairo, then Luxor and Aswan with a Nile cruise or by train. Enough time without rushing.

See all 53 trips

10 days or more

Add Abu Simbel, Alexandria, the desert oases or a few days on the Red Sea to the classic route.

Any of these can be your starting point: pick a trip you like and tell us what to change.

Deposit, payment and changes

Designing your itinerary is free and there is no obligation until you say yes.

Your written proposal shows the full price, what is included and the deposit needed to confirm hotels, cruise and guides.

The balance is paid before you travel. The exact deposit, payment dates and cancellation terms are written on your proposal before you pay anything.

Until you confirm, you can change anything at no cost. After confirming, we will always try to fit in changes, subject to hotel and cruise availability.

Questions and answers

Can I change one of your tours instead of starting from scratch?
Yes. Many of our tailor-made trips start from one of our tours with a few days added, a hotel swapped or the pace changed. Tell us which one you like.
How long does it take to receive my itinerary and price?
We usually reply within 24 hours. A detailed day-by-day proposal follows once we know your dates, travellers and style.
Is there a charge for designing my trip?
No. The itinerary and quote are free, and you can ask for as many changes as you need before deciding.
What is the difference between tailor-made and private?
A private tour is a set itinerary with your own guide and car. Tailor-made means the route, hotels, length and pace are also chosen around you, and it is always private too.
Can you plan for families with children or travellers with limited mobility?
Yes. Tell us the ages of the children or any mobility needs, and we plan the pace, rooms, transport and visits around them.
Can I choose between a Nile cruise ship and a dahabiya?
Yes. A cruise ship sails in three or four nights; a dahabiya is a smaller sailing boat with fewer guests and a slower, quieter journey. We can also plan Luxor and Aswan with hotels and no cruise.
What is not included?
International flights, visa fees, travel insurance, tips, drinks and anything marked as optional. Your proposal lists exactly what is and isn't included.
