Why book with us
Licensed, local, andone WhatsApp away.
We are not a marketplace reselling someone else's tours. The consultant who plans your itinerary is the same person who answers when you message from Luxor at midnight.
Our own guides
Licensed Egyptologists lead every excursion, named in your confirmation, working for us rather than for a subcontractor.
Private by default
No group fillers and no shopping stops. Your party, your pace, and a day that can be rewritten the night before.
One itemised price
Entrance fees, transfers, taxes and internal flights sit inside the quote. Nothing is added at the temple gate.
Nothing to pay to enquire
A full day-by-day itinerary costs you nothing, and a 30% deposit is the first money that changes hands.
24/7 while you travel
One number, answered in Egypt, for the whole trip — not a call centre in another time zone.

What a great team!
They helped me plan my day and arranged for an Egyptologist and driver to take me to all these places.
Had a great time
Thanks to well organised sightseeing and tour guide Ahmed who was professional and pleasant.

Good to know
Travel tips from the peoplewho run the trips.
Pick a question on the left. We answer it the way we would answer it on the phone — with the numbers, and with what we would actually do.
When to go
The comfortable half of the year runs October to April: 20–28 °C in Luxor and Aswan, which is what open-deck sailing and three hours inside a temple actually require.
Daytime20–28 °C
CrowdsPeak Nov–Feb
PricesHighest Dec–Jan
- March and April keep the weather and lose the crowds — the best value window.
- June to August is much cheaper, but afternoons pass 42 °C and excursions run at dawn.
- Christmas and New Year need a 50% deposit, because the cruisers ask us for one too.
Our tip
Book three to four months out for November to February. For a dahabiya, make it four — they carry twelve people and the good cabins go first.
Visas and entry
Most nationalities — US, UK, EU, Australian and Canadian included — get a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, or online as an e-Visa before they fly.
VisaOn arrival
CostUS$25
Valid30 days
- Your passport needs six months’ validity from the day you land.
- The e-Visa is worth doing if you land late — it saves the queue at the bank window.
- We meet you before passport control and handle the paperwork with you.
Our tip
Carry the $25 in cash. The visa window at Cairo takes dollars and gives change in Egyptian pounds, and the card machine is not always working.
Money and tipping
Hotels, cruisers and restaurants take Visa and Mastercard. Markets, tips and small cafés are cash. We quote in US dollars and can invoice in EUR, GBP or AUD.
CardsHotels & cruisers
CashMarkets & tips
QuotesUS dollars
- Tipping is customary, never obligatory, and never inside your price.
- As a guide: $8–10 a day for your guide, $5 for your driver.
- Small notes are worth more than large ones — change is scarce everywhere.
Our tip
Change a little at the airport and the rest at your hotel. Street exchange offices quote well and pay badly.
What to pack
Light cotton for the days, one layer for the evenings, and shoes you can walk a temple in. Everything else you can buy here for less than you paid at home.
DaysLight cotton
EveningsOne warm layer
SitesClosed shoes
- Shoulders and knees covered for mosques — a scarf does the job for both.
- A hat and high-factor sun cream matter more than anything else on this list.
- Deck evenings on the Nile get genuinely cool from December to February.
Our tip
Leave room in the case. Cotton, spices and a hand-made galabeya cost a fraction of the airport price in Khan El Khalili, and your guide will tell you the real one.
Getting around
Cairo to Luxor is an hour by air and ten by road, so almost every itinerary flies it. Between Luxor and Aswan the river is the road, and your room moves with you.
Cairo → Luxor1 hour, by air
Luxor → Aswan3–4 nights
TransfersAll included
- Every transfer, domestic flight and entrance fee sits inside your quote.
- A private car and driver waits for you — no taxis, no haggling, no surprises.
- The sleeper train exists and we will book it, but it is slower and not cheaper.
Our tip
Sail Luxor to Aswan rather than the reverse if you can choose. You go upstream against the current, which means slower, longer afternoons on deck.
Before you ask
The questionswe get every day.
No. A consultant writes you a day-by-day plan with hotels, guides, transfers and a full price, and you can change it as many times as you like. A 30% deposit is the first money that changes hands, and only once you say the itinerary is right.
Yes. The tourist corridor — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Nile — receives millions of international visitors a year and is managed by a dedicated tourist police force. The areas named in travel advisories, such as North Sinai, are nowhere near any itinerary we operate.
Private by default — your party, your guide, your vehicle, your pace. We run small group departures too, capped at twelve, and they are labelled as such on the tour. There are no shopping stops on either.
Entrance fees, transfers, guides, taxes and internal flights sit inside the number we send you. What sits outside it is named in writing: international flights, your visa, tips, and anything you order yourself. Nothing is added at the temple gate.
30% confirms the booking — 50% over Christmas, New Year and Easter. The balance is due two days before arrival, or in cash when you land. Bank transfer, a secure card link, PayPal and cash on arrival are all accepted.
Every one of them. Add a day in Alexandria, swap a museum for a felucca, start on a Thursday, stretch it to the Red Sea — the itineraries here are starting points, and the person who writes yours also briefs the guide who runs it.
Under-twos travel free, under-sixes pay 30% and under-twelves 50% of the adult tour cost when sharing the parents' room. Because the tour is private, a day can be shortened or a rest morning added without asking anyone else.
Charges run from 15% at 61 days or more down to 100% inside 14 days, with higher bands over Christmas, New Year and Easter. If a government or airline issues a do-not-travel warning we refund the tour or hold it as a credit. The full table is on the terms page.
