    My wife and I joined the 10-day "Holiday in Egypt" tour in late May 2025 and it was an unforgettable experience. Lucky that it was a small group of only six and the three couples got together amicably. The itinerary was well-planned, covering all the must-see attractions, including a delightful Nile cruise that truly captured the essence of Egypt. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the hotel in Hurghada picked by ‘Holiday in Egypt’. It was impressive, with an all-inclusive package that featured delicious food and a wide variety of drinks, including alcoholic options. Every meal was a culinary delight, making our stay even more enjoyable. While the guides provided useful information, one individual stood out - driver Bob. His dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety was exceptional. He spent over an hour to wait for our night train (from Cairo to Aswan which we took on our own) to arrive, making sure we boarded the right train and correct cabin (there was no sign at all on the platform or the train). His kindness and attentiveness truly enhanced our travel experience and made us felt so much at ease. Overall, the tour was well organised. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Egypt in comfort and style.

    We enjoy a fast paced tour, and this one met our needs, with very little time wasted. We covered even more than expected and the planning was comprehensive. The tour guides were knowledgeable and appropriately interactive. Special mention to Ahmed Kassem, in Luxor and Aswan, and Suhaila, in Cairo. Muhammad, the overseer, was always responsive and proactive to fix any potential problem or clarify arrangements. The temples at Luxor and Aswan are of a scale and quality that needs to be seen to be believed. Visit them with this group and you will not be disappointed. The Valley of the Kings was special, visiting the actual tombs, and even seeing Tutankhamen’s mummy up close. We had three nights in Hurghada at a resort. This was the perfect way to finish our trip, with high quality accommodation, beach access and all food and drinks covered. I suggest you include this leg in your booking. Seldom do we feel that we were given value for money, but on this tour, the value was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. Take advantage of their deals, while they still exist.

    Wonderful, jam-packed tour of the highlights of Egypt, ending with an excellent all-inclusive 5 star resort. Day 9 is a long bus journey, so I recommend upgrading to a flight early on. All other days were brilliant. Sincere thanks to the tour organiser, Mohamed, for accommodating my requests (e.g. vegetarian meals). The biggest reason for the 5 stars: the best tour guide in Egypt, Hassan! He kept me laughing every day, taught us so much, and really is passionate about his work. Thank you!!

    Where do I start? Everything related to this tour was impeccable, from the booking and response time before the tour started to the guides and itinerary. I booked the tour several months out and every time I had a question, I received a response right away. Mohamed always welcomed my questions. Once we arrived in Egypt, everything with timely and very organized. We did not feel rushed at any of the sites and our guides, Sohaila, Hassan, and Mayo did a phenomenal job explaining the history to us. Also, it was great not having to worry about tipping drivers and other service workers because we paid tips up front. The Nile River cruise was definitely a highlight of the tour. Holiday in Egypt arranged a complimentary anniversary celebration for my husband and I while on the cruise. The entire crew was involved, presented us with a cake and even wore traditional Egyptian attire. They made us feel so special for our anniversary. There were several other tour companies to choose from and I’m so happy we decided on Holiday in Egypt. You will not be disappointed if you choose them too! Thank you for providing us with such an amazing holiday!

    Visiting Egypt has been on my bucket list for years, and this trip truly exceeded every dream and expectation. While we had some initial nerves about traveling there, we quickly felt at ease thanks to our incredible tour guides, who were welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout. At no point did we feel unsafe—in fact, we felt completely taken care of. Cairo was an unforgettable introduction to the country. The energy of 25 million people is something you have to experience to believe. Our visit to the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx was a powerful moment—especially being able to go inside one of the pyramids, which was a deeply moving experience. We opted for the overnight train to Aswan, which we were both curious and excited about after watching several travel videos. It turned out to be a highlight! There were guards on board, the sleeping compartments were comfortable, the food was surprisingly good, and the Nile views from the train were beautiful. Having a tour rep meet us at the station and help us onto the correct train and compartment made the process completely stress-free. In Aswan, we met our wonderful guide Ahmed, who stayed with us for the rest of the journey. I can’t say enough good things about him—his passion and knowledge made the sites come alive. Our Nile cruise on the Nile Story was top-notch, with stunning views, wonderful meals and visits to breathtaking temples along the way. We ended our adventure with a few relaxing days in Hurghada, which was the perfect way to unwind after such an incredible journey. This tour was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we’re so grateful for the care, planning, and expertise that made it all possible. Thank you!

    We had an amazing tour with Hassan Hosny in Cairo and on the H/S Radamis II Nile Cruiser. The itinerary was wonderful and full of pyramids, temples, tombs and all things Egypt! Hassan made sure we were always well taken care of. We’ve only been at the Hurghada for one day, but already in love with the place. It is fabulous! I would recommend it to anyone. Perfect blend of ancient Egypt and modern luxury.

    Mohamed was awesome! He was our tour guide from Aswan to Luxor on the Nile Cruise. He was always on time, very punctual, very organized and never rushed us (unlike some other guides on the tour). He went above and beyond to take care of everyone in the group together and individually. I recommend him highly 👍

Can you please explain? - The hotel in Hurghada is either the Iberotel or the JAZ Elite Casa Del Mar. Is it possible to ensure that we go to the JAZ Elite? I am travelling with a 14 year old daughter. - We will be travelling back to Finland and there are no flights from Cairo after 6PM. Is it possible to stay in Hurghada for an extra night and transfer to the airport in Hurghada instead of going to Cairo?

    Asked on February 20th, 2025

    Is travel insurance required? On day 1 - will you pick us up and drop us at the hotel and can we store our bags with the hotel? From there can we get to major site seeing areas - mosque, bazaar via metro train or uber? On day 9 - what time do we return? Is it free time on our own after we return? On day 10 - can we do activities if our flight leaves at 9:40am? On the Nile cruise is the water smooth? Does anyone ever get seasick? Is there breeze on the boat when sailing so that you can lay by the pool even though it is warm in June? Is it safe for two females to walk around Cairo and Hurghada during the day or in the evening?

      Travel insurance is required. We will pick you up at anytime you arrive, you can store your luggage at the hotel. The tour includes a tour to old Cairo. You return to Cairo the 9th day around 7 PM, you will then have free time. On the Nile cruise the sailing is smooth and there are no high waves like the sea, no body gets seasick. During the sailing there is breeze and you can enjoy laying by the pool and sunbathing. It's safe to walk alone in Hurghada and Cairo, though we recommend asking your tour manager upon arrival.

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      On day 10 if we cannot find a flight that leaves in the late afternoon, can you provide a shuttle to the airport? If not, I assume we will need to find our own transportation to the airport. It looks like we will have to do the old Cairo tour on the day we arrive as we haven't seen any late afternoon flights back to New York.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten February 2025

      You can do the old Cairo tour on your arrival day privately at no extra cost. We will drop you off to the airport the last day of the tour, no problems with that, it's included in the tour.

    Could you tell me which hotel we will be staying in Cairo. I will arrive a day before the tour starts and will leave three days after it finishes. I will need to book a hotel and it would be useful if I stayed in the same one as the tour is using. Can the extra costs i.e. tips and entrance fees be paid for in euros or must it be USD?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten February 2025

      The hotel will likely be World Trade Center hotel & residence, we will confirm it 2 weeks prior to departure date. You can choose pre tour accommodation option and we will make sure it's booked at the same hotel. Entrance fees and tipping can be paid in Euro or USD, or it can be paid online by adding it to the booking later on.

      The hotel for nights of 16th and 24th April in Cairo are both included in the tour. Therefore, it is only if I arrive or depart before or after these dates I need to reserve and pay for the extra nights. Am I correct?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten February 2025

      The nights of the 16th and the 24th and between are included. Any nights before or after would be for extra cost. In all cases you can book the main package then send us your arrival and departure details to be able to advise you more on whether you need pre/post tour accommodation.

    I was thinking of taking my parents on this trip (and they have both wanted to see Egypt for their entire lives) but they are both in their 70s and mobility can sometimes be an issue for them (they are both able to walk but not for extended periods of time). I just wanted to check whether this one is suitable (even though it says up to 88 year old's). Would the tour company require them to be on their feet for extended periods of time or are they able to opt out of most activities if need be (and just stay at the accommodation or on the boat). Don't want to be an inconvenience to the rest of the group but also want to make sure they are not pushed too far. If this is not suitable then let me know if there is another similar trip that is more catered to the elderly.

      Your parents are welcomed on this tour, they can do some activities that doesn't require standing on their feet for extended times. They can also enjoy relaxing at the hotel or Nile cruise if they don't feel like going on an activity, the tour guide will help much regarding the activities they can fully do, or even just walk a bit around some temples for short times. We would only suggest upgrading to flights as the sleeper train would be too long for them, 13 hours long from Cairo to Aswan. We also have another tour for 8 days including flights if you would like to look into it.

    Would the first day of the tour start then, or would we have to fly in a day early?

    What are all the extra fees, taxs, tips, insurance, etc we will be required/expected to pay besides the booking fee for this trip? Also, if we don't book an excursion at some of the stops, are there local taxis or bikes to hire so we can get around on our own? Is it safe to do so?

      The only extra fees would be entrance fees US 150$ per person covering all sightseeing mentioned in the itinerary, tipping is $8 per person per day covering drivers and Nile cruise staff. Insurance is also not mandatory if you are not willing to buy it or if you have already travel insurance with your local insurance company. Regarding the extra excursions it's not recommended to do them this way, the itinerary covers the main highlights of Egypt. You can do that for example when the cruise arrives to Luxor for a city tour or so on and your guide will instruct you on how is the best way to do it.

      When you said "Regarding the extra excursions it's not recommended to do them this way, the itinerary covers the main highlights of Egypt," did you mean the basic itinerary covers the main highlights of Egypt and extra excursions aren't recommended?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten December 2024

      What I meant is it's not recommended to do extra excursions using a taxi or bike, but for sure some extra excursions are highly recommended like Abu Simbel, hot air balloon, Nubian village etc. There are also extra activities to do in Cairo if you have any free day like Saqqara Memphis, grand Egyptian museum or Alexandria day tour.
