- JHJanine· July 13th, 2025We had 2 guides as part of this tour - Sohaila in Cairo and Tamer for the cruise component (we have reviewed Tamer separately, and equally excellent). The day with Sohaila in Cairo was amazing. Pre-tour communication was clear and timely. We experienced the Great Pyramids, a camel ride and explored inside a pyramid, Sphynx and Cairo Museum and a unique Egyptian lunch. Sohaila was excellent. Her knowledge was incredible and she was only too happy to answer any questions on any topic, including history (of course), religion, life in Cairo, education, so far unanswered questions and everything in between. She tailored the day to suit us, allowing as much or as little time as we wanted in any location, as well as explained additional opportunities and organised additional tickets, etc. She was fun, engaging and ensured our experience was her priority. Our driver was also excellent – navigating crazy traffic to always be at the meeting spot with the air conditioner running! We 100% recommend both Sohaila and Holiday in Egypt for this tour.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
- GBGeorge· June 16th, 2025Touring with Hassan the tour guide was the best. He was very well organised and his help was very much appreciated. But pick ups and drop offs was the worse I encountered some pick ups never happened had to find our way at our cost and drop offs were late by hours one excursion was changed due to 4 hours delay, was a mess. We thank Hassan very much but the rest deserve no starts.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- SESteven· June 6th, 2025It was good for the most part. Mohamed and Sue were wonderful. I would suggest the flight upgrade be part of the package instead of the sleeper train which was just awful. The bus to Hurghada was not too bad just long. We opted to fly back to Cairo. The Tourrardar team was great when changes were made at the last minute.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- Angela· April 22nd, 2025Immortal Egypt 9day - Holiday in Egypt I recently enjoyed a 9day tour with Nile cruise ran by Holiday in Egypt. It was everything I had dreamed of and more. Our guide Hassan Hosny was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I loved listening to all of his stories. He took such good care of us, making sure that we had all the ticket information we needed and that we never missed a transfer. Which is something I had been a bit nervous about being a single female traveler. Honestly, the tour guide can make or break a trip. With Holiday in Egypt, and especially with Hassan Hosny as your guide, you’ll have a trip of a lifetime,,,,Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Angela,Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.

- J· March 23rd, 2025I did enjoy my tour and found Holidays in Egypt to be very flexible and helpful. We had a few changes in schedule/itinerary that generally made the overall experience much better and I think these should be incorporated into the tour. These were to not take the train Cairo to Aswan and fly instead, and a private bus to Hurghada was preferable. I think that offering a flight to Abu Simbel would have been a MUCH preferred option to 10 hours in a bus. We only had an hour at the temple which was disappointing. Also the public bus from Hurghada to Cairo is another very long and not very comfortable trip when a short flight makes for a much better ending to the tripShow moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewThank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback!

- AAlistair· March 22nd, 2025We had a great time on the tour with everything organised well and a great experience. We took our 5 year old along with us and we're really well looked after giving us flexibility where needed while experiencing all the great sights and experiences. Would definetly recommend both Holiday in Egypt and Tour Radar as easy communication with somebody always there to meet us at the next stop and a few contacts to reach out to if needed. It was a great price for what was included with nice hotels, a lovely cruise boat and crew and resort. The train trip from Cairo to Aswan was certainly an experience with a very old train but we were warned by the tour company and had the opportunity to upgrade for a flight for very cheap but we were keen for the full Egypt experience and with an open mind for travelling really enjoyed it. Thanks to all the guides and behind the scenes organisers. Some of the really touristy sights got quite busy but the guides did well to get us through with good descriptions and stories and still time to explore on our own.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Alistair, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

Asked on June 11th, 2025How does your visit to the Abu Simbel temples work in the schedule? How much extra does it cost? Are you really maximum 15 people in a group?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written June 2025
The optional tour to Abu Simbel is scheduled for the early morning of Day 4. The next scheduled activity—Kom Ombo Temple—starts around 4 PM. Both tours are usually completed without impacting the itinerary. I'd be happy to offer you a $20 discount on the Abu Simbel tour once your booking is finalized. You can select Abu Simbel from the optional add-ons, and I'll apply the discount after confirmation. Regarding the group size, we are committed to a maximum of 15 travelers per group to ensure the best service and experience. One of our groups—comprised of American solo female travelers—has already reached the maximum. However, you will join another group of 9 travelers.

Asked on June 7th, 2025First day in Cairo is it possible to include Saqqara

We can arrange a Saqqara tour on your first day in Cairo, depending on your arrival time. If you arrive by midday at the latest, we'll be able to schedule the tour for you.

Pamela
Asked on June 4th, 2025Is it possible to take a flight rather than the train, and possible to fly from Hurghada to Cairo on day 8 rather than day 9 and have a last night in Cairo instead? Also, are there any trips that are 7 days on the Nile?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written June 2025
Regarding the flight upgrade — it's available on the Book Now page. Once you select your tour date and room configuration, you'll find a list of optional excursions, including the flight upgrade. We do have the same package you're referring to, but it includes 2 nights in Hurghada instead of 3. However, you can easily add a post-tour accommodation night in Cairo, which means your final night would be spent in Cairo. As for the 7-day cruise, we don't offer that option because the 3-night/4-day cruise includes the same sightseeing highlights and experiences as the 7-day version.

The list of hotels provided is fixed list. The entire group will be accommodated in the same hotels. If there is change in the list provided we normally notify our customers and we book the whole group in the same hotel together. Unfortunately we can't offer hotel options.
