Are you doing any special eclipse events during this tour?

Yes, we are currently preparing a special program for the solar eclipse event and will arrange a dedicated experience for guests who are particularly interested in viewing the eclipse. We will finalize the program and share the details with you soon, including the best location, timing, transportation, and any special arrangements for the eclipse viewing.

Can you please confirm the departure date at the end of tour: is the final departure from Cairo on August 6 or August 7th?

Can you confirm the itinerary that on August 2nd at 1pm, we will be having lunch on the cruise ship which will still be docked at Luxor City until a 2pm sailing to Essna City?

Do you have any tours centered around the August 2, 2027 eclipse?

this period is very high, the hotels and cruises are set a very expensive cost

I am looking at customerize a private for a group of 6. I like the itinerary layout for Tour radar clients. However, my daughter has motion sickness, as such not ideal to see those listed places on a cruise. Would like to contact to discuss a customized plan and get an estimated price.

Absolutely, we would be happy to customize a private tour for your group of 6 adults according to your preferences. We completely understand the concern about your daughter's motion sickness, so we can avoid the Nile cruise and replace it with comfortable land-based travel, while still covering the most important historical and cultural sites. We are flexible and can change the itinerary, transportation, hotel arrangements, and sightseeing schedule to suit your group. Please feel free to discuss your preferred travel dates, places you would like to visit, and the type of experience you are looking for with us. Once we have these details, we will prepare a customized itinerary and estimated price for you.

Is it possible to add on 2 days to the Red Sea? Preferably by plane, unless you would recommend something closer. Could you please inform me of the cost and potential itinerary?

I have another itinerary that I believe would be more suitable and reasonable for your customer. Instead of adding the Red Sea by plane, I would recommend the following route: Cairo → Aswan → Luxor → Hurghada. This itinerary is more convenient in terms of logistics and avoids an unnecessary flight. The distance from Luxor to Hurghada is approximately 350 km, making it a comfortable transfer by road.

The Nile cruise accommodation allows 2 people per room. We are 3 adults, how will I book that and what is the price for the 3 persons total?

The Nile cruise does offer a triple cabin for 3 adults. The cabin is equipped with two twin beds plus one extra bed, making it suitable for a family of three. Regarding the total price for 3 persons, I would be happy to calculate it for you. Please let me know your preferred travel dates, and I'll send you the total cost along with all the details.

Would like the name of the boat you use please around 6 jan. 2927

We have dealt with: Ms/ blue shadow Ms Royal Beau Rivage Ms/ Royal Elite Ms/ Royal Ruby Ms/Liberty

Will a mature 15 year old girl be allowed to come if accompanied by parents and grandparents?

Yes, absolutely! A mature 15-year-old will do completely fine on this trip, especially with the full support of her parents and grandparents around her.

Can you please specify the entry fees you refer to per place and the cost thereof?

There is a possibility I would stay 2 more nights. Possible to organise a day tour to Alexandria for 7 or 8 June?

does this tour include a visit to GEM?

yes is included GEM grand Egyptian museum

Naser was an amazing guide. We not only saw the incredible pyramids we were fortunate to have Naser explain the very detailed history and timelines of the pyramids and dynasties spanning over the last 5000 years.

This premium tour provided by Egypt Direct Tours was the perfect experience to uncover everything Egypt has to offer and more. There is no way I could’ve planned such an impressive holiday independently like I have done in places across Europe. All the experiences were tailored to what Egyptians want tourists to experience when they come to their country. Our guides Nasser and Omar were excellent, both extremely knowledgable, kind and supportive with any questions or requests we had throughout the tour. Their suggestions on who to purchase goods from, who to tip and what to tip, and what experiences were worthwhile to partake in all felt genuine and no one ever never sought to take advantage of us as unknowing tourists. Our driver Hassan was prompt and so easy to engage in conversation with that no drive ever felt too far away. If anyone asks me in the future what’s the best way to experience Egypt, I will highly recommend this premium tour provided by Egypt Direct Tours.Show more

The overall itinerary was good. My husband found the drive to Abu Simbel long. The final day’s activities in Aswan were not necessary and we were all ready to return to Cairo. Local restaurant at Aswan served food that lead to stomach upset. More night time entertainment needed on board the boat until 10pm due to early morning starts. The belly dancing show for example was goood. We are unsure whether the Blue Shadow crew received our tip money as our guide Omar asked for it to be handed to himself and not put into the tip box at reception on the boat. We feel costs like entrance fees and tips should be included in the package price. This will make it easier for us. Overall the cost of entrance fees was a lot higher than indicated by Tour Radar. Guides- Mamdouh was excellent. Mahommed we found a bit hard to understand his accent.Show more

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us improve our services. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the overall itinerary and that Mamdouh made such a positive impression. We will also share your feedback with Mohamed to help us continue improving our guiding services. Regarding the tipping, we would like to assure you that the gratuities were paid to the Blue Shadow cruise crew. As this is an obligatory crew tip, our guide collected it to ensure it was distributed correctly among the staff. Concerning the entrance fees, these are converted from USD to Egyptian Pounds (EGP) based on the official exchange rate on the day they are paid. The final amount depends on the government ticket prices for the sites visited, such as Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the High Dam. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the restaurant in Aswan. We take food quality very seriously and will review this matter with the restaurant to help prevent similar situations in the future. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding the long drive to Abu Simbel, the final day's activities in Aswan, and the onboard evening entertainment. Your comments are valuable, and we will certainly take them into consideration when reviewing our future itineraries and cruise selections. Thank you once again for traveling with Egypt Direct Tours. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Egypt for another memorable journey. Warm regards, Egypt Direct Tours

The tour was exceptional. Our guides Nassir and Omar were wonderful. Nassir was our guide in Cairo and Omar was our guide throughout the Nile Cruise and stops along the way. The information we received at the sites we visited was thorough and informative and our guides were always concerned with our needs as we went about each activity. I would definitely recommend the Egypt Direct Tours group if you are planning to go to Egypt.Show more

Overall, it was a beautiful and highly recommendable experience. It was really impressive to see all of this with my own eyes. Our days in Cairo and Giza were definitely the highlight of the trip. Together with our guide Nasser and our driver Yssry, we had an amazing time. From the very beginning, both of them were incredibly warm, attentive, and always responsive to our wishes and interests. They made us feel completely comfortable right away, and we truly enjoyed every moment with them! In general, the staff at the hotel and on the cruise ship were also consistently attentive and polite. Everything was very clean at all times, and the beds were comfortable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Unfortunately, not everything was perfect. What disappointed us a bit was that, despite this being a guided tour, we often had to take care of organizational matters ourselves almost daily. This mostly involved getting contacted by the next day’s guide and coordinating pick-up times, which sometimes changed multiple times or were communicated differently by the guide and the main contact person at Egypt Direct Tours. We found this quite unfortunate, as we had expected a smoother and more organized experience. We had also assumed that we would have one guide accompanying us throughout the entire tour, rather than a different guide at each location. However, we are not sure if this may have been due to the fact that, in the end, it was just the two of us on the tour. Additionally, we found the tipping culture somewhat challenging. Although we followed the tour operator’s recommendations regarding tips, we were told on one occasion that the tip we gave was not sufficient, which led to a slightly uncomfortable situation.Show more

Dear Carolin Thank you so much for your feedback! We are thrilled to hear that your time in Cairo and Giza with Nasser and Yssry was the highlight of your trip. We will be sure to share your kind words with them. Regarding your concerns, we appreciate the opportunity to clarify: Logistics: Since the group consisted of 2 persons, the Nile Cruise management does not provide accommodation for a guide to stay on board. This is why we coordinated with you daily to confirm pick-up times and ensure you had expert guidance at every site. Tipping: We provide tipping guidelines in our itineraries to help our guests navigate local customs. Should you ever feel pressured or uncomfortable regarding gratuities, we encourage you to contact the Egypt Direct Tours operations team immediately so we can handle it on your behalf. We are glad that, overall, you had a beautiful and recommendable experience. Your comments help us improve, and we hope to welcome you back to Egypt again soon!

We did the tour of the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Saqqara and Memphis in English with guide Naser Abd al-Salam, very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. For example, we were suffering a lot from the heat, under the scorching sun of the pyramids, and he provided us with 2 small bottles of cold water. He explained the history of the pyramids very well and was ready to answer our questions. He gave us useful tips, such as not listening to people in uniform who were asking for money to enter a small pyramid (the entrance was free), or to stay close to him during some movements without paying attention to people who were asking us for money. During lunch, he guided the waiters from a distance to make sure we had received all the food. Between one stop and the next, he paused to offer us a mango smoothie — super delicious! The tour is complete, well-organized and comfortable, including transfers, entrance tickets and lunch. I highly recommend it!Show more

  Can you confirm the itinerary that on August 2nd at 1pm, we will be having lunch on the cruise ship which will still be docked at Luxor City until a 2pm sailing to Essna City?
- Egypt Direct ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  Regarding the Solar Eclipse on August 2, 2027, unfortunately, with the current itinerary, you will not be able to watch the solar eclipse from Luxor. The reason is that the Nile cruise will be sailing from Luxor on August 1 (Sunday), while the solar eclipse will take place on August 2. By the time of the eclipse, the cruise will no longer be in Luxor, so we cannot guarantee viewing the eclipse from Luxor at around 1:00 PM. If seeing the solar eclipse is an important priority for you, we would be happy to review the itinerary and see whether we can make adjustments to allow you to be in the best possible location for the eclipse.

  Traveler•Written August 2026
  I am looking to see the possibility of a customized tour of Egypt and Jordan trip. Time frame: December 31, 2026 Leaving Canada → January 17, 2027 (leave Cairo or Amma to Canada-pending cost) Group size: 6 pers all female. for a private six-person, good 4-star/occasional 5-star custom trip. All transportations, exclude international flights. English guide. Some meals and maybe some cultural entertainment. Proposed itinerary: Egypt: 10 days / 9 nights, Jordan: 7 days / 6 nights, No Nile cruise. Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara, Grand Egyptian Museum, Citadel, Old Cairo/Khan el-Khalili. Southern Egypt: Aswan, Philae, Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor, Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut, Karnak, Luxor Temple. Sinai: Mount Sinai, St. Catherine's Monastery with hiking options. Jordan: Amman (one night), Jerash (half/full day), Madaba + Mount Nebo, Petra (two nights), Wadi Rum (one night in a good desert camp, with a 4×4 tour), Dead Sea (one night). The key is to work out whether the best connection is Luxor → Sharm El-Sheikh/St. Catherine → Cairo, or whether a road transfer makes more sense. Because the travel dates crosses New Year's, I would also want check domestic flights and hotel availability before payment is made. build the itinerary around five "wow" experiences: 1. Giza at sunrise/early morning 2. Abu Simbel 3. Luxor/Valley of the Kings 4. Mount Sinai sunrise 5. Petra + Wadi Rum. Provide options for slowing pace afternoons as to not rushing through it. Please advise on the feasibility of this custom tour for 6 pers and provide estimate cost around target budget.

  I have another itinerary that I believe would be more suitable and reasonable for your customer. Instead of adding the Red Sea by plane, I would recommend the following route: Cairo → Aswan → Luxor → Hurghada. This itinerary is more convenient in terms of logistics and avoids an unnecessary flight. The distance from Luxor to Hurghada is approximately 350 km, making it a comfortable transfer by road.

  Can you tell me the cost of adding a trip to Alexandria and 2 nights so departure would be 10 June 2026. I assume that would include a transfer to the airport on 10 June 2026?
- Egypt Direct ToursOperator•Written May 2026
  I've looked into the details for extending your stay and adding the coastal trip. The total cost for the addition is 270 USD. This price is comprehensive and includes the following: Accommodation: 2 additional nights (extending your departure to June 10, 2026), including breakfast. Alexandria Day Trip: A private tour to Alexandria with a professional guide, lunch and private vehicle. Airport Transfer: A private transfer from your hotel to Cairo International Airport (CAI) on June 10, 2026, timed for your departure.
