    I am 79 years old, supposedly too old for this tour. However, I am in fine shape, work construction and would not have any issues.

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperatorWritten June 2026

      You are welcome regardless, it would be our pleasure.

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperatorWritten June 2026

      But please note this tour is moderate and needs lots of walking steps around for sightseeing.

    Sophia

    Asked on June 28th, 2026

    We have never visited Egypt or been on a river cruise. Are there clothing requirements for Egypt or the Cruise?

    Tour Details
    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperatorWritten June 2026

      There is no specific clothing, but it varies depending on the weather.

    • S

      Sophia

      TravelerWritten June 2026

      I was in Israel a couple years ago and they had very Strict restrictions for women in some of the places we visited. Like sleeves, headwear, and legs covered for men and women in some cases. I couldn't find any information on that on your company website specifically. Are there similar restrictions in Egypt?

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperatorWritten June 2026

      There are no specific restrictions on clothing, however, given the weather, lightweight clothing in light colors and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. If visiting religious sites, it is necessary to observe Egyptian customs and traditions by wearing long, modest attire.

      Kristen

      TravelerWritten June 2026

      Can you please give me an idea of the age range of participants? I am a 65 male going solo and I would prefer not to be in a group with more than a couple of children.

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperatorWritten June 2026

      Yes, we offer the optional Saqqara & Dahshur excursion for **USD 95 per person**. It includes transportation, an English-speaking Egyptologist guide, and visits to the main sites in Saqqara and Dahshur. Entrance fees are not included and are paid on site.

      This tour is usually operated during your stay in Cairo, depending on the final itinerary schedule. You can add it by requesting it through your TourRadar booking conversation, and we will arrange it for you.

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperatorWritten June 2026

      Regarding the group age range, it varies by departure date, but our tours are mostly joined by adult travelers and solo travelers. It is not common to have many children in the group.

    Ross

    Asked on June 28th, 2026

    Looking at the March 2027 time, where the tour is listed as $975, how much would it be if the roundtrip airfare was taken out? Also, how much extra is the optional hot air balloon ride? Lastly, just wanted to make sure that Abu Simbel was actually included, not an optional trip?
