Luxury Tours to Egypt
Ever picture yourself on a camel, the Great Sphinx and the Pyramids looming nearby? Egypt's museum collections are filled with wonders that textbooks only touch on. The Valley of the Kings hides pharaohs beneath the earth, and the Karnak Temple stretches for miles. The Nile, meanwhile, has been flowing, carrying history, for millennia. Egypt's scale defies comprehension until you're standing there. This ancient world awaits your discovery.

What people love about Luxury Tours in Egypt
- Around Egypt in Luxury
I would like to say thank you to our Tour Leaders Michael and John for being on hand for us when we were in Cairo. They worked very hard and long and sometimes very late hours. It was very reassuring that they were on hand - a very professional service. Also to our Tour Guides, Michele and especially Hassan Ashour who we met at Aswan. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was also very conscientious in ensuring that all in our group enjoyed themselves and covered what they wanted from the tour, especially as he had a group from three different countries to consider. He made us very welcome and we enjoyed his company. My wife and I both thought the Sound and Light show and meal at the Pyramids was not worth the money and seeing. Others in our little group that evening also thought the same, so maybe re-think this in your itinerary.
Everything about this trip was absolutely fantastic, and I cannot recommend it enough. The organization was perfect from start to finish, making the whole journey smooth and stress-free. The tour guides were outstanding — Mirna, Kerolos, and Medhat were all extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about Egyptian history, which made every visit even more engaging. The hotels were excellent, and the cabin on the Nile cruise was stunning. The food on the boat was also amazing, with great variety and quality throughout the cruise. Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations in every way. I would highly recommend the “Legends of Egypt” tour to anyone considering a trip to Egypt.
