Asked and answered
How much does a Dubai tour cost?
The cost of a Dubai tour can vary significantly depending on the type of tour and the experiences included. Basic city tours may start at around $50–$100 per person, while more luxurious or specialized tours, such as desert safaris, private city tours, or dinner cruises, can range from $100 to $300 or more. Multi-day packages that include accommodation, meals, and sightseeing may cost anywhere from $500 to $2,000 per person, depending on the level of luxury and customization. Always check with tour operators like EgyVacations for the best deals and tailored packages to fit your budget.
Which time is best for a Dubai tour?
The best time to visit Dubai is during the cooler months, from November to March. During this period, temperatures are more comfortable, ranging between 20°C and 30°C (68°F to 86°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities like desert safaris, sightseeing, and beach visits. The summer months (June to August) can be extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), so it's generally better to avoid visiting during this time unless you plan to stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces.
How many days in Dubai is enough?
For a well-rounded experience of Dubai, 3 to 5 days is usually sufficient. In this time, you can explore the city's top attractions like the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina, and the historic Al Fahidi District. If you’re interested in additional activities such as a desert safari, theme parks (like Aquaventure or IMG Worlds of Adventure), or a day trip to Abu Dhabi, consider extending your stay to 4 or 5 days. This allows for a relaxed pace, without rushing through the highlights.
How much money do you need for 5 days in Dubai?
The amount of money you’ll need for 5 days in Dubai depends on your travel style and preferences. On average, a budget traveler might spend around $50–$100 per day, totaling $250–$500 for 5 days. This would cover meals at casual restaurants, basic sightseeing, and budget accommodation. For a mid-range traveler, expect to spend around $150–$250 per day, or $750–$1,250 for the entire trip, which would cover meals at higher-end restaurants, moderate attractions, and 4-star hotels. If you plan to stay in luxury resorts, dine at upscale restaurants, and indulge in exclusive experiences, your daily budget could easily exceed $300–$500, totaling around $1,500–$2,500 for the trip. Always factor in extra for shopping, souvenirs, and optional activities.

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.
