      Traveler•Written September 2026

      How much entrance fee and tipping for the trip? Any Chinese guide available? My mum is 76 years old, walk slower. How many people in a group?

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperator•Written September 2026

      The entrance fees are USD 165 per person, and the tipping amount is USD 70 per person. The main guide is an English-speaking guide. If you prefer a Chinese-speaking guide, we can arrange one for you at an additional cost. The trip involves quite a lot of activity and walking around the archaeological sites. The final group size will be confirmed around 10 days before arrival, as we may still receive last-minute bookings. However, the group will not exceed 20 travelers.

      Janet

      Traveler•Written September 2026

      How much additional cost for Chinese guide? If my return flight is 19:25 from CAI, could we have late check out from hotel and still have pick up service to airport?

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperator•Written September 2026

      Our standard packages typically include an English-speaking team and are conducted as shared group tours. Since you require a specific team, we will happily arrange a fully private tour exclusively for the both of you. This premium customization will incur an additional cost of 300 USD per person for the entire itinerary for the Chinese-speaking team.
