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.
We have a great time with this tour. We only has short time in egypt but, the tour is effective and we can get everything we want. The service excellent with comfortable price.

What type of accommodation can I expect on budget tours in Egypt?
Budget tours provide 3-4 star hotels and Nile cruise ships that offer comfort without luxury pricing. Properties like the Pyramids Resort by Jaz in Cairo represent typical accommodations with essential amenities including air conditioning private bathrooms and included breakfast. Most hotels are near major sites. In Giza many rooms face the pyramids while Luxor properties put you within walking distance of ancient temples. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "The accommodation was safe and clean and it was good that all the activities were managed from there."
When is the most affordable time to visit Egypt?
The best value periods are March-April and October-November. These months balance comfortable temperatures with lower prices. Booking data shows March and October remain popular while maintaining competitive rates. Summer (June-August) offers the lowest prices but temperatures can reach uncomfortable highs. One TourRadar traveler shares: "We went during Ramadan not the best time for foodie travelers but the staff and guides were so helpful."
What are the best budget-friendly activities to do in Egypt?
Egypt offers numerous affordable experiences that showcase its rich heritage. The Valley of the Kings tour and Karnak Temple complex in Luxor provide excellent value. A two-person felucca ride on the Nile costs around $40 USD. The Khan el-Khalili bazaar and walking tours through Islamic Cairo let visitors experience local culture without high costs. Many budget tours include these activities in their base price. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The history is just unbelievable and we really enjoyed learning about everything the most."
Are entrance fees to attractions included in budget tour prices?
Budget tours typically exclude entrance fees from their base price. Visitors should plan for additional costs of 140-155 USD per person paid locally for access to major sites. This covers entry to essential attractions like the Pyramids Egyptian Museum Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "The entrance fees to the designated tourist attractions cost about $140 USD per person collected on-site."
How much should I budget for meals not included in tour packages?
Plan for 25-30 USD daily for meals outside the tour package. Local Egyptian restaurants offer meals for 5-10 USD while hotel restaurants charge 15-20 USD per meal. The difference in price often reflects atmosphere rather than quality. A TourRadar traveler shares: "We took us to a local restaurant in Luxor which was the best meal I had in Egypt."
