What people love about Egypt Tours
- Egypt Explorer - Felucca cruise & Red Sea
It was about a year ago now, that I did the Egypt Explorer Tour with Expat Egypt. I was about to embark on a journey to Egypt - a woman alone in an Arab country. Everything looked amazing and the value for money was unbelievable, and I remember reading through similar reviews as the one I am about to write here, with a feeling of mistrust and apprehension, not sure what to expect, or how contrived they were. It turned out to be one of the best holidays ever, and without a doubt the best value for money. The tour company is professional and punctual. George and Sam were always there to assist us at the drop of a hat. Our guide Wael was amazing, always ready to enrich us with his knowledge. He was not just a guide, he became an endearing member of our group. Our group was a melting pot of fun people from around the world. The experiences were wonderful and truely unique. The train ride from Ciaro to Aswan should definitely be done in a sleeper carriage. Aswan is lovely! I would recommend one night on the felucca. The Nile is just fantastic! The Nubian village was a blast, from food to fake tattoos. The Red Sea was a highlight for me... apart from ofcourse hot-air-ballooning over the Hatshepsot Temple. I would truely recommend this tour to anyone, whether you are traveling alone or in a group. I met wonderful people, made life-long friends. It was a truely amazing and enlightening experience and real value for money!
- Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise
I had an amazing time on this Egypt tour. The tour guide was excellent; there were no questions that he could not answer and his in depth knowledge of Egypt and its history was certainly impressive. The highlight of the tour was of course the Pyramids, but it is difficult to choose a favourite as we visited so many other incredible places along the way, including Karnak and Hatshepsut's temple, a traditional Nubain village and Cairo museum where we saw King Tut's treasures. I would definitely suggest that you opt for the hot air balloon ride over Valley of the Kings and the Pyramid sound and light show; and the 5 star Nile cruise was great. I highly recommend this tour - the trip of a lifetime!
- 9 Days Nile Jewel Tour (Superior Hotels) with GEM Museum Visit
not being a sailor I didn't know what to expect- however I didn't even know the boat was moving! smooth sailing all the way, the food was excellent, entertainment great, staff were fun and we thoroughly absorbed all of the culture and history that presented to us. The Galabaya party on board was heaps of fun- with those distinctly Egyptian games being a real laugh! On our cruise we were lucky?? enough to be in Aswan when hit record temperatures of 43 degrees- thank god for cool drinks and air-conditioning...
Most popular destinations in Egypt
The Nile Valley holds Egypt's richest historical sites along the river that made this ancient civilization possible. Our guests love exploring the Giza pyramids and Great Sphinx, walking where pharaohs once ruled. You'll find remarkable artifacts in Cairo's Egyptian Museum, while the temples at Luxor and Karnak show off engineering that's lasted thousands of years. Nile cruises really let you soak in the experience - go upscale on a Dahabiya with private cabins and chef-prepared meals, or join a traditional felucca crew where you'll navigate the river and sleep beneath desert stars. Temple visits are particularly good for photos in early morning light, especially at Hatshepsut and Abu Simbel, plus Karnak's evening illuminations give these ancient structures a completely different character.
See all Nile Valley toursExplore the heart of ancient Egyptian history in the Valley of the Kings. Discover the secrets of the pharaohs as you roam through elaborate tombs. Check out the grandeur of Tutankhamun's final resting place and be amazed by the hieroglyph-covered walls.
See all Valley Of The Kings toursThe Nile cruise delivers Egypt's ancient sites directly to you as you glide along this historically rich waterway. Our guests often tell us their favorite stops include the Valley of the Kings with its detailed pharaonic tombs and Karnak Temple's impressive columns. The route takes you to Philae Temple and also Abu Simbel - both representing remarkable feats of engineering since they were completely moved to protect them from rising waters. What really makes these trips special are guides like Alaa, Abbas, Mohamed and also Ahmed who share detailed historical stories you won't find in any guidebook. We hear again and again from our travelers about those magical sunrise views across the Nile Valley, and they love the authentic Nubian entertainment in the evenings. For the most comfortable weather to explore these sites, plan your trip between October and April.
See all Nile toursDiscover the ideal tour package for you through Red Sea Coast. On TourRadar you'll find trips starting from just one day in length, and the longest tour is 14 days. The most popular month to go is April, which has the most tour departures.

Travel Egypt your way
The Nile cruise trips are some of our most booked Egyptian holidays with several routes running between Aswan and Luxor. Our 4-5 day cruises use comfortable 5-star boats and come with proper Egyptologist guides who really know their stuff. You'll catch sunrise at Abu Simbel, explore Philae Temple in the afternoon and see Karnak lit up at night. What's nice is how you can relax on deck between stops - maybe watch local farmers working their fields in the morning before heading off to explore temples later. Our customers often mention how brilliant it is having guides who can actually read the hieroglyphics and explain what everything means. The food onboard is properly Egyptian though quite a few travelers suggest being a bit careful with the buffets.
See all River Cruise toursThrill-seekers can navigate Egypt's vast Sahara on a quad bike, snorkel in the vibrant Red Sea coral reefs, or hot air balloon over ancient Luxor. More adventurous souls might brave a camel trek under the stars in the mesmerizing White Desert.

Best tour companies for Egypt tours
Three tour companies really stand out when our travelers talk about their Egypt experiences - Timeless Tours, Expat Explore and Beyond The Nile Tours. What makes these operators special is how well they handle the practical details - getting from place to place without hassle, booking comfortable hotels and making sure you have excellent guides like Michael, Peter and Ayman who know their history inside out. The base tour prices offer good value for what's included, and our customers often mention how much they appreciate having everything organized so smoothly. You'll get the main sites and experiences covered in the standard package. Just keep in mind that add-on activities like special dinners, boat rides or extra site visits can push up your total costs quite a bit. It's worth looking at the optional extras list when you're planning your budget so you know exactly what additional experiences you might want to include. Many travelers tell us these tours exceeded their expectations - the guides bring ancient Egypt to life with their stories and knowledge, the hotels are well-chosen and comfortable, and the whole experience flows naturally from start to finish. The small detail that keeps coming up in reviews is how the guides handle all the local arrangements, which lets you focus on enjoying the experience rather than dealing with logistics. One practical tip our customers often share: factor in around 20-30% on top of the base tour price if you think you'll want to join most of the optional activities. That way you won't have any surprise costs once you're there.
Best places to start your Egypt tour
Most of our travelers kick off their Egypt experience in Cairo - about 87 of our recent bookings started right in the capital. While Luxor, Aswan and Hurghada are options too, they're less common starting points. Looking at our booking patterns, people typically lock in their Egypt trips around 5 months ahead (that's 154 days) which really helps with getting those preferred Nile cruise dates and hotel picks, especially in busy seasons. The winter months from October through April tend to be when most people travel since the weather's just right for exploring, but you'll need to book early during these popular months. Summer visitors get smaller crowds and better deals, though you'll want to plan around those hot midday hours. We've found that mixing historical sites with real cultural experiences works best - things like wandering through local markets, watching traditional craftspeople at work and trying authentic Egyptian food. Our travelers often tell us these authentic moments become real highlights of their trip.
Discover Egypt tours for every budget
We've designed our budget Egypt tours to give you the best value while including all the essential experiences. They typically run 7-10 days, taking you through the Pyramids, Sphinx and Cairo's main museums before heading south. The traditional felucca sailing on the Nile is often mentioned as a favorite moment - there's something special about sleeping under the stars and spending time with local Nubian crews. You'll mix hotel stays with overnight trains, though many travelers recommend upgrading to flights between Cairo and Aswan if you can. After the historical sites, you'll get time to snorkel, swim and relax at the Red Sea in Hurghada. Even our budget options include 4-star hotels with pools, buffet breakfasts and proper Egyptologist guides who really bring the history to life.
Luxury Egypt travel takes every element up several notches. You'll be staying at some truly special places - the historic Mena House right by the pyramids, Luxor's Victorian-era Winter Palace and the magnificent Old Cataract in Aswan where Agatha Christie wrote. The Nile portion uses high-end cruise boats with generous suites and really attentive service - our guests particularly love the food and deck areas. We include special experiences like private pyramid-side dinners, exclusive tomb access in the Valley of the Kings and early morning hot air balloon flights over Luxor. The guides make all the difference - these are serious Egyptologists who can read hieroglyphics and make ancient stories feel current. You'll travel by domestic flights instead of overnight trains, keeping things smooth and comfortable.

Who are you traveling with?
Group
941 tours in EgyptEgypt group tours combine major monuments with authentic cultural moments across 7-10 day journeys that start in Cairo, where small groups of 12-16 travelers explore the Great Pyramids alongside knowledgeable Egyptologists. Moving south by Nile cruise or traditional felucca sailing, travelers visit the temples at Philae, Kom Ombo and also Edfu. These tours stand out by weaving structured visits with natural encounters - one morning you'll explore the Valley of the Kings, and by afternoon, you're sharing lunch in a local family's home. The intimate group size lets travelers get up close to artifacts and engage deeply with guides. Tours often include distinctive elements like hot air balloons drifting over Luxor at sunrise, snorkeling in clear Red Sea waters and also desert camping beneath starlit skies. Our guides consistently earn high marks from travelers for their archaeological expertise, hieroglyphic reading skills and ability to adjust the pace for different groups. Many tours wrap up with time in Hurghada, giving everyone a chance to unwind together after exploring Egypt's ancient wonders.
Small Group
605 tours in EgyptKeep it small with 5-8 people and you'll get a much more personal take on Egypt. The smaller numbers mean you can explore lesser-known temples, take your time with photos and really dig into the history with questions. We'll take you to places like Howard Carter's house in Luxor, the Roman catacombs in Alexandria and camping in the White Desert. Many trips use traditional dahabiya sailboats on the Nile instead of big cruise ships, so you can stop at small villages and sites that larger groups just can't reach. Our travelers tell us the small group size helps them connect properly with their guides and fellow guests, giving them a deeper look at both ancient and modern Egyptian life.

Top Egypt travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our 7-day Egypt journeys really hit the perfect balance for travelers wanting to see the key sites without rushing. These tours typically start in Cairo with guided visits to the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum before heading south. What makes these routes work so well is how they combine major monuments with authentic experiences - you might find yourself drinking tea in a local home right after exploring Philae Temple. The Nile segment usually runs 3-4 days, where you'll visit Kom Ombo, Edfu and also Karnak temples. Our customers particularly love the optional hot air balloon rides over Luxor at sunrise, though the Abu Simbel day trip comes up as another highlight. The guides really make these tours special - they're proper Egyptologists who can read hieroglyphics and explain everything in fascinating detail.
See all tours
For those wanting a deeper dive into Egyptian culture and history, our 10-day tours offer more time at each location plus some nice extras. These journeys include everything from the 7-day routes but add meaningful experiences like visiting Memphis (Egypt's first capital), exploring the step pyramids at Saqqara and also spending time in Islamic Cairo. The Nile cruise portion typically runs 4-5 nights, giving you proper time to relax on deck between temple visits. Our travelers particularly value having those extra days - it means early morning temple visits when it's cooler and quieter, followed by afternoon sightseeing once the crowds thin out. Many tours finish with a few days in Hurghada where you can snorkel the Red Sea reefs and also try some water sports.
See all tours
Our 14-day Egyptian journeys really let you see the whole picture, from Alexandria's Mediterranean coast right down to the Nubian south. These comprehensive tours include special stops other routes skip - like the White Desert's surreal landscapes where you'll camp under the stars, or day trips to places like Dendera Temple. What makes these longer tours special is how they mix the big historical sites with proper cultural immersion. You might spend a morning exploring tombs in the Valley of the Kings, then join a local family for lunch in their home. The pace is nicely balanced too - you'll typically get 4-5 nights on a Nile cruise, 3-4 days in Cairo and also some beach time in Hurghada. Our travelers often tell us these two-week trips give them time to really understand Egypt rather than just seeing it.
See all toursDemographics
Solo travelers find real comfort and community on our Egypt group tours. Many solo guests mention feeling instantly welcomed, especially on the felucca sailing trips where the small group size and shared experiences create natural bonds. The 7-10 day itineraries strike a nice balance - you'll get proper time at the main sites while having some independence to explore markets or try local cafes. Our tour leaders make sure everyone's looked after, particularly during transfers and at busy sites. Several customers traveling alone specifically praised the traditional cooking classes, market walks and also evening rooftop gatherings where the group could share stories about their day.
Couples consistently rate our premium Nile cruise experiences among their favorites. Several include romantic touches like sunset dinners overlooking the pyramids, private balconies on the cruise boats and optional hot air balloon rides over Luxor at dawn. The 9-day trips work well for pairs - you get quality time at each stop without feeling rushed. Many couples mention loving the mix of guided tours and free afternoons to wander together through places like Khan el-Khalili bazaar or along Aswan's corniche. The more upscale tours use historic hotels like the Old Winter Palace in Luxor and also the Old Cataract in Aswan, adding some real atmosphere to the journey.
Young adults gravitate toward our more active Egypt itineraries that pack in lots of experiences. The felucca sailing adventures are particularly popular, offering two nights camping along the Nile with swimming stops and barbecue dinners under the stars. These trips typically include time for desert quad biking, camel treks, snorkeling in the Red Sea and also optional scuba diving. The social aspect really works - our younger travelers often mention bonding with their groups during Nubian music nights, cooking classes and shared taxi adventures through Cairo's streets. The guides know how to balance history lessons with fun, keeping things interesting without getting too academic.
Our senior travelers prefer the well-paced luxury tours with proper comfort levels. These typically run 10-12 days, using high-end cruise boats with stabilizers and excellent accessibility. Domestic flights replace long bus rides, and the hotels are chosen for their elevators, good facilities and central locations. The Egyptologist guides are particularly experienced with senior groups - they know when to take breaks, find shady spots for explanations and adjust the walking pace as needed. Many older guests specifically mention appreciating the intimate group sizes, the option to skip certain activities and also having time to really absorb each site without feeling rushed.
For families exploring Egypt together, the longer 9-12 day tours really shine. Our travelers consistently praise the mix of education and fun - kids get fascinated by the mummy rooms at the Egyptian Museum while parents appreciate the expert Egyptologists explaining everything at their level. The Nile cruise portions work particularly well, giving families downtime between temple visits to relax on deck or watch village life along the banks. Several tours include time at Hurghada's Red Sea coast where families can go snorkeling, try some watersports or just enjoy the beach. The Nubian village visits are often highlighted as family favorites, with chances to ride camels, get henna tattoos and share meals with local families.

- Spring 2025
Spring brings ideal conditions for combining historical sites with outdoor experiences. The March-May tours that include the Red Sea portion are especially popular since the water temperature is perfect for snorkeling and diving. Our spring itineraries often start in Cairo then head south via domestic flight rather than overnight train - it's worth the upgrade to maximize your time. Several tours mix a 4-5 day Nile cruise with time in a traditional Nubian village, which our travelers consistently rate as a highlight. The spring routes through Aswan often include sunrise visits to Abu Simbel followed by afternoon felucca rides when the river breeze picks up.

How Do You Get Around Between Egypt's Major Cities?
Getting between Egyptian cities is pretty straightforward these days. You've got domestic flights connecting Cairo Luxor and Aswan which is definitely the quickest way to go - lots of people upgrade their Luxor to Cairo journey on the "Adventure Ancient Egypt - 7 Day" tour to a flight instead of taking the train. The overnight sleeper trains are actually a cool budget option though you get to see life along the Nile as you travel. That's what they use on the "Egypt Explorer - Felucca cruise & Red Sea" tour from Cairo to Aswan. If you want more flexibility private air-conditioned vehicles are everywhere and while public buses are cheaper they do take quite a bit longer with not many stops.
Where Can You Find authentic Egyptian Experiences Away From The Crowds?
If you're looking to dodge the tourist crowds Dahshur is amazing with these incredibly preserved pyramids like the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid - way less busy than Giza. Memphis Egypt's original capital has this fantastic open-air museum packed with huge statues and ancient ruins. Right next door you've got Saqqara which was Memphis's burial ground featuring the Step Pyramid of Djoser - it's actually the oldest complete stone building complex anywhere in the world. TourRadar guests always talk about how much they love exploring these places with expert Egyptologist guides who really bring the history to life. You can see all these spots on the "Ancient Wonders Egypt: 14-day" tour.
What Local Cultural Experiences Can Visitors Join In Egypt?
There's some really special cultural experiences you can get involved with in Egypt. Head to a Nubian village on Soheil Island near Aswan where you can experience genuine Nubian hospitality listen to their music try local food and maybe get a traditional henna tattoo. The "Adventure Ancient Egypt - 7 Day" tour has an optional Nubian village visit during the first day of the Nile cruise. Then there's the Galabia Party on Nile cruises where everyone dresses up in traditional Egyptian clothes dances to local music and tries Egyptian dishes. You'll find this on the "Premium trip to discover Cairo - Luxor - Aswan - Abu Simble 9 days with flights" tour on night 5 of the cruise.
What Natural Areas Can You Visit Outside The Cities?
The White Desert National Park is absolutely incredible with these otherworldly white rock formations. The best way to experience it is camping overnight you'll usually go by 4x4 through the dunes and the stargazing is just amazing. The "Ancient Wonders Egypt: 14-day" tour includes one of these overnight desert camping trips. Then there's the Valley of the Whales or Wadi Al-Hitan which is UNESCO listed it's got these fascinating whale fossils from prehistoric times. You'll need a guided tour with 4x4s to get there but it's totally worth it.
