Frequently Asked Questions

The most frequent questions people may ask about, read the following questions about Egypt tours that may answer a question in your mind.

Cairo has a lot of gifts to provide during your tour, start your visit by entering the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahsour, then visit the Egyptian Museum, Saladin Citadel, and don’t forget to enter the Mosque of Mohamed Ali. After ending your tour in Old Cairo, you can enjoy Khan El Khalili Bazaar to buy gifts and souvenirs.

In Egypt classic tours, you can enjoy a Nile Cruise sailing between Luxor and Aswan and stop at the Abu Simbel Temple, Philae Temple, Hatshepsut Temple, and more attractions. Your classic tours should start with Cairo which holds the Giza Pyramids. If you want to pamper yourself, end your tour by visiting Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada.

The Classic tours in Egypt cost from $400 to $1350 starting from 4 days to 9 days. Your tour price in Egypt may differ according to the classic package duration and the number of attractions that are included in the package as well as the available amenities and services.

If you want to avoid the crowds, enjoy Egypt Classic tours between October and November, or March and April. These are the shoulder seasons when temperatures are warmer and there are fewer tourists. In the spring, I recommend one of our Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, Luxor, and Aswan because we have everything you need for a fun time.

Classic Nile River cruises transport you to the heart of ancient Egypt, just meters away from some of the world's most famous landmarks. You'll tour colorful bazaars, wander through ancient temples, and learn about Egyptian deities, burial traditions, and culture during Egypt Nile Cruise Tours.

If you're considering a vacation to Egypt, a private tour guide can make or break your trip. With the assistance of a skilled local guide, you may acquire deeper insights into the country's rich history and culture, traverse its busiest cities with ease, and find hidden gems that you might otherwise overlook.
