- Egypt Treasures (Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Felucca sailing ,black &white desert safari) with Domestic flight
I am recently home from Egypt treasures trip, this trip was the best time of my life so far. The first time I have travelled solo and it was fantastic. I had the best group I could possibly wish for ,mix of young people from different countries (south Africa,Canada,USA ,australia)We all loved a good party, we all got along and all brought something unique to the group. We all still speak regularly in our group chat. Our guide Ayman was an awesome , he is very knowledgeable, professional yet super funny and friendly, and very caring and organized. We never had any trouble and our tour was super smooth, he always have us a heads up and provided all the info before we had even thought about asking! he is always happy to help with anything, The tour itinerary was perfect,Saw so many amazing places and experienced more than I could have imagined within 12 days,we had many options of daily activities, and were never forced to do anything we didn't want to. 10 out of 10 would recommend making this tour for everyone.
- Adventure Ancient Egypt - 7 Day
I cannot even begin to describe how breath-taking our Nile Cruise experience was from Aswan to Luxor. Every moment was filled with excitement, wonder, and awe. From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted by the most hospitable and friendly staff, who never failed to make us feel welcomed and appreciated. The sights we saw on the Nile were simply stunning. The ancient temples and ruins that we explored were nothing short of mesmerizing, and the local attractions we visited were truly eye-opening and educational. The cabins were spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities we could ever need. And the food - oh, the food! It tasted like it was made for royalty. The chefs on board truly outdid themselves, and we looked forward to every mealtime. Overall, this was an absolutely unforgettable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. To anyone considering a Nile Cruise, trust me when I say that you won't regret it. It's the ultimate adventure, and one that I highly recommend.
- Essential Egypt (21 destinations)
An incredible combination of must see tourist spots like the pyramids/sphinx/Abu Simbel and local experiences like riding a Feluca on the Nile and eating with a Nubian family. Family friends and the media warned me not to go but I felt safe the entire time. I even ventured out at night with just my roommate to explore! Now is the time to go to Egypt because there are hardly any tourists which means you get perfect pictures at each sight!
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.
