What Our Customers Say

4.9

We wanted to see the major sights without spending our whole trip on a cruise, and this itinerary worked perfectly. The Pyramids were incredible, Abu Simbel was unforgettable, and Luxor had so much to see. We really enjoyed having several days in Hurghada to relax at the end.

MC

Melissa Carter

United States

This was our first visit to Egypt and we were very impressed with how smoothly everything was arranged. Cairo was amazing, but Luxor was probably our favorite. Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple were incredible. The days in Hurghada were a lovely way to finish the trip.

RT

Robert Thompson

United Kingdom

We loved the variety of this tour. Flying to Aswan, visiting Abu Simbel, taking the train to Luxor and then continuing to Hurghada gave us a really good experience of Egypt beyond Cairo. Our guides were knowledgeable and the private transportation made everything much easier.

SC

Sarah Collins

Australia

There were so many highlights on this trip, but Abu Simbel was the one that really stayed with us. We also loved Dendera and Abydos, which were less crowded and very impressive. After all the temples and sightseeing, having four nights in Hurghada was exactly what we needed.

AR

Andrea Rossi

Italy

We wanted a complete Egypt experience and this tour gave us exactly that. The Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum were fantastic, Luxor was fascinating, and the flight to Aswan made the journey very convenient. We also enjoyed exploring Khan El Khalili before flying home. Very well organized overall.
