What people love about Egypt Tours from Cairo
The tour was absolutely awesome. It was also comparatively offered at a more competitive cost. The young tour leader Ahmed was extremely good at trouble shooting the normal range of challenges that can arise with traveling. When things on the trip could not go quite as planned, or as ideally as hoped, Ahmed would consistently throw in extras to help more than compensate for the occasional downsides.
Egypt Explorer (Cairo, Luxor, Aswan & Abu Simbel)
- 8 Days Nile Jewel (4/5 stars Hotels) with GEM Museum Visit
The tour takes you to see so many ancient Egyptian temples that are anywhere from 2000 to 4000 years old, and many of them are extremely well preserved. The lodgings were clearly once extremely nice 10-20 years ago and are no longer 5-star in the classic sense, but for the price they are quite nice and clean. Egypt is an interesting country where I feel a tour is required for most people in order to not be overwhelmed (I ran into someone at the airport who did not take a tour and hated their experience), and this tour does a great job of taking care of everything for you and making sure you're prepared for what you're about to experience. Highly recommended.
This was my first visit to Egypt but it exceeded my expectation. We were welcomed warmly by all the people we met. Alaa the tour guide is very experienced, knowledgeable and fun. He knows all the stories and details about Egypt history. Highly recommended.

What our customers ask about Egypt Tours from Cairo
What's the best time of year for tours starting in Cairo?
The most comfortable season for exploring Cairo and the Nile Valley runs from October to April when temperatures hover between 75-85°F (24-29°C). The weather during these months allows for comfortable outdoor sightseeing at key attractions without the intense heat. As one TourRadar traveler notes: "We went in November - perfect weather for exploring the pyramids and temples without extreme heat." Visitors should note that summer temperatures from June through August regularly climb above 95°F (35°C) making extensive outdoor activities challenging.
What are the main attractions covered in the first few days starting in Cairo?
The initial days focus on Cairo's essential historical sites. Visitors spend time at the Pyramids of Giza the Egyptian Museum and the religious districts of Coptic and Islamic Cairo. The itinerary includes stops at the Hanging Church and shopping at Khan el-Khalili bazaar. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Our Cairo Egyptologist Tamer was amazing. The pyramids tour was incredible and having lunch at authentic local restaurants really enhanced the experience." Most tours begin with pickup from established locations like Cairo World Trade Center Hotel or Steigenberger El Tahrir Hotel.
What common starting points/meeting locations are used in Cairo?
Tour operations begin with airport collection and transfers to select hotels in central Cairo. Popular meeting points include the Steigenberger El Tahrir Hotel near Tahrir Square the Cairo World Trade Center Hotel in the downtown area or Meridien Pyramids Hotel in Giza. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We were met at Cairo airport and transferred directly to Steigenberger El Tahrir - very smooth process and great central location for starting the tour."
How much spending money is recommended for the Cairo portion?
Daily expenses in Cairo beyond tour costs typically range from USD 30-50. This covers additional meals optional activities and market purchases. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Besides the main tour costs we spent about USD 200 during our 3 days in Cairo on extras like the Sound & Light show at the pyramids souvenirs at Khan el-Khalili and local restaurants."
How far in advance should I book a Cairo-based tour?
Booking trends show most travelers secure their tours 330-470 days ahead particularly for peak season visits from October to April. A TourRadar traveler shares: "We booked almost a year ahead to get our preferred dates and cruise ship." Some companies like Egypt Best Holidays can accommodate shorter booking windows of 2-3 months though availability may be limited.
