Special thank to Mr. Mohammed to drive us around the town smoothly and comfortably always with his wonderful smile and patience. Thank you all !
Excellent tour! Beyond the Nile tours was in touch with me before I went to go over any questions I had. When I arrived in Cairo Ayman contacted me immediately about my tour. He told me I was the only one on my tour ( I wanted to be with others) so he put me with another group. Great decision. Ayman also took care of arranging flights, booking additional tours and getting my covid test to name a few. Everything was taken care of. Everyone with Beyond the Nile tours took such good care of me I could not have asked for more. Being a solo woman traveler I felt very safe .

What our customers ask about Historical Tours & Trips in Egypt
When is the best time to take a Historical tour in Egypt?
Egypt's Historical tours are best experienced from October to April. The moderate temperatures during these months ranging from 68-85°F make exploring ancient sites more pleasant. Tours often begin in the early morning to avoid both heat and crowds. Many visitors stay at places like the Steigenberger El Tahrir Hotel in Cairo which provides easy access to major sites including the Valley of the Kings and the Pyramids.
What are the must-see Historical highlights on an Egypt tour?
Egypt's key Historical sites center around four main attractions: the Great Pyramids of Giza the Valley of the Kings in Luxor the Karnak Temple Complex and Philae Temple in Aswan. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo holds over 250,000 artifacts and provides context for these ancient wonders. Tour guides often point out that Karnak Temple stands as the largest religious complex ever constructed representing centuries of ancient Egyptian architectural achievement.
How long should I plan for a comprehensive Historical tour of Egypt?
An 8-10 day trip provides enough time to explore Egypt's main Historical sites properly. This duration allows for several nights in Cairo often at properties like the Marriott Mena House 3-4 nights on a Nile cruise and time in both Luxor and Aswan. This schedule balances site visits with enough time to absorb the historical significance of each location.
What's included in a typical Historical tour package?
Standard Historical tour packages cover stays at 4-5 star hotels including properties like Steigenberger El Tahrir domestic flights between major cities guided archaeological site visits and Nile cruises. Most tours provide airport transfers expert Egyptologist guides and some meals. Note that entrance fees to sites are sometimes charged separately.
What's the best way to experience the Nile as part of a Historical tour?
The stretch of Nile between Luxor and Aswan offers the richest Historical experience. Ships like the Movenpick Royal Lily and MS Semiramis blend comfortable travel with access to riverside temples and monuments. These cruises let travelers see both ancient sites and daily life along the Nile's banks providing a unique perspective on Egypt past and present.
