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
My husband and I just returned from Agatha Christie 12 day tour of Egypt ,we joined a small group of 6 traveller in total . We booked this from Australia and could not have been happier. We went from Abu Simbel in the south, Aswan, enjoyed the luxurious Nile cruise on ms Nile acamar (food and staff were amazing), Luxor, Karnak, Edfu, several days in Cairo (make sure you go to the step pyramids in Saquara and the Red and Bent Pyramids too)Our guides ahmed (in Aswan and NIle cruise) and mona (in Cairo ) were exeptional. All drivers were excellent but our favourite was tony in Cairo, We appreciated the bottles of water during all the tour activities . All of the hotels were lovely. There is lot of security in Egypt with many check points, scans and pat downs. Initially it may be a little confronting however I felt very safe at all times. If you go to the shops/bazaars the shop keeper will hassle you but just be polite and keep walking. The Egyptian people are genuinely friendly and helpful and the country and sites are mindblowing. Australia does not have a tipping or bargaining culture so we found this a little awkward at times. All up an amazing tour that went smoothly and was well organised. We loved Egypt and would thoroughly recommend this trip .Thanks

- Legends of Egypt
Everything was well organized and the staff were excellent especially the lady who took us to the GEM.We enjoyed ever min and the staff where very help and knowledgeable.
- 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.

A recent TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotel selection was lovely and the luxury cruise offered delicious meals. The accommodations were exceptional throughout the journey."

Plan to spend between USD 3,200 and 9,200 per person for a 7-10 day luxury experience in Egypt. Daily rates typically fall between USD 400-920 covering 5-star hotels most meals domestic flights private guides and special access to sites. The high-end Pharaohs and Pyramids tour at USD 9,200 includes stays at premier properties like the Marriott Mena House and Four Seasons.

Special experiences include dining at the 139 restaurant within Marriott Mena House and meals at carefully chosen historic venues. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The food was exceptional throughout especially on the Nile cruise where we enjoyed gourmet meals with both local and international cuisine."
When is the best time to take a luxury tour in Egypt?
Plan your visit between October and April when temperatures are most comfortable for exploring sites like Luxor and Aswan. December and January see peak visitor numbers thanks to ideal weather for both sightseeing and river cruising. While summer months bring intense heat luxury hotels and cruise ships offer reliable climate control throughout. A recent guest noted: "We traveled in March and the weather was perfect for exploring while still enjoying the luxury amenities of our hotels and cruise."
How long should an ideal luxury Egypt tour be?
A 10-15 day itinerary allows time to explore at a refined pace. This duration comfortably fits a 3-4 night Nile cruise several days at premium Cairo hotels like the Steigenberger and optional extensions to coastal resorts in Hurghada or Marsa Alam. As one TourRadar reviewer put it: "Our 12-day tour was perfect - enough time to see everything while still enjoying luxury amenities and relaxation."
