Flight time from Cairo and back to cairo?

The domestic flights are normally scheduled as follows: Cairo to Aswan: early morning, usually around 7:00–8:00 AM. Luxor to Cairo: usually a morning flight, around 9:00–10:00 AM. The flight duration is approximately one hour each way. Exact flight times will be confirmed closer to your travel date according to the available domestic flight schedule. The package is designed to make the journey easy, as the round-trip domestic flights and transfers are arranged as part of the tour, allowing you to enjoy the Nile cruise without arranging the internal travel separately.

Which exact Nile cruise ship is planned for the 6 January 2027 departure? Please share the ship name and, if possible, photos/info of the double cabin.

Please confirm that both domestic flights (Cairo → Aswan and Luxor → Cairo) are fully included in the tour price, incl. all taxes and fees.

Can you give me ur what's app to contact?

Our WhatsApp contact details will be provided after your booking is confirmed. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the itinerary, dates, inclusions, or optional tours, we will be happy to assist you here through TourRadar.

We need the exact itinerary

Could you please send us your intended travel dates in October, including your preferred starting date? Once we have the dates, we can provide you with the exact itinerary, including the cruise schedule and return flight arrangements. Please also note that the final travel documents and detailed arrangements will be sent to you before the tour starts, including all relevant information you will need for your trip.

please share the details of this iternary with the days and time of departure and arrival

This is a great option if you would like to experience the highlights of the Nile between Aswan and Luxor while keeping your travel from Cairo easy and organized. The itinerary is approximately as follows: Day 1 – Cairo → Aswan Pickup from your Cairo/Giza accommodation and transfer to Cairo Airport. The flight to Aswan is normally around 8:00 AM and takes approximately 1 hour. On arrival, our guide will meet you and begin your Aswan sightseeing, including Philae Temple, followed by check-in on your 5-star Nile cruise. Day 2 – Nile Cruise Continue sailing along the Nile with guided sightseeing, including Kom Ombo Temple. Day 3 – Edfu → Luxor Visit Edfu Temple before continuing toward Luxor. Enjoy guided sightseeing in Luxor, including its famous ancient temples. Day 4 – Luxor → Cairo Visit the main highlights of Luxor, including the Valley of the Kings. After sightseeing, transfer to Luxor Airport for your return flight to Cairo, normally around 8:00 PM. On arrival in Cairo, transfer back to your hotel/accommodation. The package includes both domestic flights, 3 nights on a 5-star Nile cruise with full-board meals, guided sightseeing with an Egyptologist, and all required transfers. Optional experiences such as Abu Simbel, a Hot Air Balloon over Luxor, and Nubian Village can also be arranged if you would like to make the trip even more complete.

I am scheduled to arrive in Cairo on a flight landing at 10:25 AM on the day the tour begins; would it be possible for me to join from the very first day?

Unfortunately, arriving in Cairo at 10:25 AM on Day 1 would be too late to join the tour from the beginning, as the Cairo to Aswan domestic flight is normally scheduled in the morning and the tour continues with the Aswan sightseeing program upon arrival. We would recommend arriving in Cairo at least one day before the tour starts. We can also arrange pre-tour accommodation in Cairo and your airport transfer if required. This will ensure that you and the other travellers can comfortably take the morning domestic flight and enjoy the complete itinerary from Day 1 without missing any sightseeing.

We are looking for 2 nights in Cairo (Pyramids and GEM) followed by a 4 night cruise from Luxor. We are flexible on dates and can travel any time after the 23rd of November for the next 2 to 3 weeks. I would like a bit more information about the dates / boats you could offer please.

The departure dates for these packages are fixed: Historic Horizons – Egypt 8 Days: 25 November 2026 Ultimate Egypt 8 Days: 26 November 2026. The Historic Horizons package includes accommodation in Cairo, the Pyramids and GEM visits, a 3-night / 4-day Nile cruise, 2 nights in Luxor, and the domestic flights included in the itinerary. It offers very competitive pricing considering the quality of accommodation, cruise, sightseeing, and services provided. Alternatively, if you would prefer a 4-night / 5-day Nile cruise, we recommend the Ultimate Egypt 8 Days package, starting on 26 November. You can add the domestic flight upgrades during the booking process.

What is the exact name of the Nile Cruise boat for a 4-Day / 3-Night cruise departing September 30, 2026?

Is Abu Simbel Temple included in the price? Please confirm if this will be a private car, a shared minibus/coach, and whether entrance fees and an English-speaking Egyptologist guide are included.

Can you pick us up from our hotel to take us to airport and drop us back to our hotel from the airport, if our hotel is in Giza?

I have special dietary requests including vegan meals with no nuts or sesame. Can you confirm this would be available

I see that the offer indicates that the cost includes AR flights. I would like to understand what flights these are. Furthermore, I ask if meals are included in the total cost.

Yes, the tour price includes the round-trip domestic flights: Cairo to Aswan Luxor to Cairo The exact flight times and airline will be confirmed and shared with you before your departure, as they depend on the airline schedule. Meals are also included: 3 nights on the 5-star Nile cruise with full board, including breakfast, and dinner each day.

We recently completed a 4-day, 3-night Nile River cruise and had an excellent experience from start to finish. Cruising between Aswan and Luxor was a fantastic way to see some of Egypt's most incredible historical sites, including the Temple of Philae, Kom Ombo Temple, Edfu Temple, and the magnificent temples of Luxor and Karnak. The cruise itself was comfortable and relaxing, with friendly, attentive staff who always went out of their way to help. The service, food, and overall hospitality made the journey enjoyable for our whole family. A special thank you goes to our tour guide, Tamer Mahmoud. His knowledge of Egyptian history and culture was exceptional, and he brought every site to life with interesting stories and insights. What really stood out was how wonderful he was with our children. He was patient, engaging, and made sure they felt included throughout the trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable for our family. We left Egypt with unforgettable memories and a much deeper appreciation of its incredible history. We would highly recommend this Nile cruise and especially Tamer Mahmoud to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organised experience.Show more

I want to leave a very honest review of my Nile cruise experience, because travelers should know what they are...
I want to leave a very honest review of my Nile cruise experience, because travelers should know what they are actually booking. There were some good moments: the temples are impressive, the Nile views can be beautiful, our guide was kind and active, and we met a lovely group of people from different parts of the world. The waiters on board were also polite, and the room and bathroom were acceptable. However, outside of those positives, I would not do this cruise again and I would not recommend it. First, the atmosphere on the boat was not always comfortable. There were men standing in certain corners of the ship with no clear task, just watching people with a challenging attitude. Maybe they were staff or security, but as tourists we found it uncomfortable and unnecessary. Second, the extra charges are excessive. Besides the amount already paid for the cruise, we were charged USD 32 per person for tips during the stay, plus around USD 100 more for entrance fees and tickets. On top of that, the guide also asks for an extra tip. We did not have cash, so we did not give one, but it creates very uncomfortable and unwanted situations for tourists. Even after the tipping fee had already been charged, the person who carried our luggage to the cabin also asked for an additional tip. We refused, and he left. This constant pressure for tips makes the experience feel unpleasant. The food was regular at best. The desserts were terrible. Egypt is not exactly known for its food, and this cruise was no exception. Much of the food felt reheated, with a lot of vegetables and very little meat. Another important thing that is not clearly explained is that if you want to do the excursions, you will have to wake up at around 4 AM almost every day. This is not a relaxing cruise at all. Also, it does not really feel like a cruise in the traditional sense. The ship barely sails. On Day 1 and for a large part of Day 2, the boat stayed docked in Aswan. This means that if you go to the deck or want to enjoy the pool, you hear endless street noise, traffic and honking until late at night. The air conditioning in our room did not work properly. It did not blow cold air. Combined with the noise of the boat and the 4 AM wake-up calls, sleeping became very difficult. The hot air balloon experience was also frustrating. We were woken up at 4 AM, taken to the location, and made to wait until around 6:30 AM, only to be told that the flight could not happen because of the wind conditions. We returned to the boat at 6:50 AM. If this had been anticipated better, we could have had two more hours of sleep. Finally, this is not directly about the cruise, but travelers should know this. On the last day, check-out was at 8 AM and our car was arriving at 7 PM, so we had many hours to wait around. We went out into the streets of Luxor to find food, and the amount of people approaching, pushing, offering things, asking for money or trying to get something from tourists was overwhelming. This was one of the reasons why we would not return to Egypt. Overall, this experience was only positive because of our guide and the great people we met in the group. Apart from that, the cruise was exhausting, uncomfortable, noisy, full of hidden or additional charges, and not something I would repeat or recommend.Show more

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We genuinely appreciate both your positive comments and your concerns, as they help us improve our services. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed Egypt's magnificent temples, the beautiful Nile scenery, your knowledgeable guide, our friendly onboard staff, and the opportunity to meet fellow travelers from around the world. It is wonderful to know these aspects made a positive impression. At the same time, we would like to clarify a few points for future travelers. The Nile cruise itinerary is designed around the opening hours of Egypt's archaeological sites and to avoid the extreme daytime heat, especially during the warmer months. This is why some excursions, such as Abu Simbel and the hot air balloon, require early departures. These schedules are standard for nearly all Nile cruise programs in Egypt and are outlined in the itinerary before booking. Regarding the cruise itself, Nile cruises operate according to navigation schedules, lock crossings, and port availability determined by the local authorities. As a result, ships are sometimes docked for several hours or overnight, particularly in Aswan and Luxor. This is normal for virtually every Nile cruise and should not be confused with an ocean cruise experience. We are also sorry that your hot air balloon flight was canceled. Unfortunately, balloon operations are controlled entirely by the Civil Aviation Authority, and flights are canceled immediately whenever weather conditions are considered unsafe. While disappointing, passenger safety must always come first, and these decisions cannot be predicted in advance. With respect to entrance fees and gratuities, these are clearly listed in our tour information before booking. Entrance tickets are paid separately because many guests qualify for discounted rates, such as students or Egyptian residents. The gratuity amount collected onboard is a standard service charge shared among the cruise crew. Any additional tip for your guide or individual staff members is entirely voluntary and based on personal satisfaction. We certainly do not encourage anyone to pressure guests for extra tips, and we will share your comments with the cruise management for review. We are sorry that the air conditioning did not perform as expected. Had this been reported during your stay, the cruise's maintenance team would have gladly inspected the unit or arranged another solution whenever possible. Finally, we regret that your experience in the streets of Luxor after your cruise affected your overall impression of Egypt. Street vendors in busy tourist areas can sometimes be persistent, but they are independent of our company and outside our control. We are disappointed that the experience did not meet your expectations, especially since you acknowledged the professionalism of your guide and the friendliness of our team onboard. We value your feedback and will use it to continue improving the experience we provide to future guests. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Reham Holiday In Egypt

An unforgettable Nile cruise experience. Sailing along the Nile while visiting the majestic temples was simply breathtaking — every stop felt like stepping into living history. A special mention goes to our guide, Ahmed. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely caring throughout the journey. He explained everything clearly, answered every question with patience, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Yes, be prepared for a few very early wake-up calls to visit the temples, they are so many! — but it’s absolutely worth it also you want to avoid the crowd. On the cruise the food was delicious with plenty of variety, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were consistently friendly and attentive. Overall, a beautiful cruise that I would highly recommend.Show more

  Yes, we understand how important it is for you to be back in Doha by October 10 due to school starting the following day.
  
  We will arrange the first available flight from Luxor to Cairo on October 10, allowing you enough time to connect to your 7:50 PM flight from Cairo to Doha.
  
  We will plan the transfers and flight connection carefully to ensure a smooth journey and give you the best possible timing for your international flight.

  Is there a discount for children? I have seen that some other sites offer 50% off for children.
  
  On the last day of the cruise (October 10), we need to be back at Cairo International Airport no later than 6:00 PM, as our flight back to Doha departs at 7:50 PM. Could you please confirm that you can arrange our flight from Luxor early enough to allow us to reach the airport comfortably and on time?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026
  Regarding the child rate, the tour package itself does not have a 50% child discount. The child discount applies only to the entrance fees at the sightseeing sites, depending on the child's age.
  
  Regarding October 10, we have noted that your international flight from Cairo to Doha departs at 7:50 PM. We will arrange the earliest available domestic flight from Luxor to Cairo and coordinate the transfers accordingly to allow sufficient time for your international flight.
  
  The domestic flight from Luxor to Cairo and the required transfers are included in your package. The exact domestic flight schedule will be confirmed according to airline availability.

  This is a great option if you would like to experience the highlights of the Nile between Aswan and Luxor while keeping your travel from Cairo easy and organized.
  
  The itinerary is approximately as follows:
  
  Day 1 – Cairo → Aswan
  Pickup from your Cairo/Giza accommodation and transfer to Cairo Airport.
  The flight to Aswan is normally around 8:00 AM and takes approximately 1 hour.
  On arrival, our guide will meet you and begin your Aswan sightseeing, including Philae Temple, followed by check-in on your 5-star Nile cruise.
  
  Day 2 – Nile Cruise
  Continue sailing along the Nile with guided sightseeing, including Kom Ombo Temple.
  
  Day 3 – Edfu → Luxor
  Visit Edfu Temple before continuing toward Luxor.
  Enjoy guided sightseeing in Luxor, including its famous ancient temples.
  
  Day 4 – Luxor → Cairo
  Visit the main highlights of Luxor, including the Valley of the Kings.
  After sightseeing, transfer to Luxor Airport for your return flight to Cairo, normally around 8:00 PM.
  On arrival in Cairo, transfer back to your hotel/accommodation.
  
  The package includes both domestic flights, 3 nights on a 5-star Nile cruise with full-board meals, guided sightseeing with an Egyptologist, and all required transfers.
  
  Optional experiences such as Abu Simbel, a Hot Air Balloon over Luxor, and Nubian Village can also be arranged if you would like to make the trip even more complete.

  Can you please help us plan the itinerary so we can cover everything and come back to cairo by Friday the 2nd. Also is it possible to reduce this cruise day by one day so we can cover Hurgadh as well.
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026
  Considering your travel dates, the best option would be to join our 5-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, as this fits your schedule most appropriately.
  
  Your itinerary would be:
  
  September 27: Arrive in Cairo and stay overnight at your Cairo hotel.
  September 28: Morning flight from Cairo to Luxor. Upon arrival, begin your Luxor sightseeing and board the Nile cruise.
  September 28 – October 2: Enjoy the 5-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, visiting the main temples and attractions along the Nile. The cruise will end in Aswan on Friday, October 2.
  
  October 2: After completing the cruise, we can arrange a morning flight from Aswan back to Cairo. Upon arrival in Cairo, you will visit the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), then check in to your Cairo hotel for the night.
  
  October 3: Transfer from your hotel to Cairo International Airport for your morning international departure.
  
  Unfortunately, Hurghada would not be possible with these travel dates. Nile cruises operate according to fixed sailing schedules, with specific arrival and departure dates, and these cannot be changed or shortened to accommodate individual travel plans.
  
  The 4-day Nile cruise would also not work with your schedule, as it starts on Wednesday, and with your international departure on the morning of October 3, there would not be enough time to complete the cruise and return to Cairo comfortably.
  
  Therefore, based on your arrival on September 27 and international departure on October 3, we believe the 5-day Luxor-to-Aswan cruise is the best option to allow you to experience Cairo, Luxor, the Nile Valley, Aswan, the Pyramids, and GEM within your available time.

  What day does this cruise depart? Do you have any 2N cruise options as well?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026
  The 5-night cruise from Luxor to Aswan departs on September 28.
  
  Unfortunately, we do not have a 2-night cruise option available. Considering your travel dates and your request to return to Cairo by Friday, October 2, I believe the arrangements I sent you would be the best option to make the most of your time in Egypt while covering the main highlights.

  So what days does this cruise depart from Aswan and Luxor. Im also looking to see if 3rd week of October would work best instead of rushing now?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026
  Our 4-day/3-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor is available with Wednesday or Friday start dates. The package also includes round-trip domestic flights: Cairo → Aswan and Luxor → Cairo.
  
  If the third week of October works better for you, that is absolutely possible. We can arrange the itinerary around the available Wednesday or Friday cruise departure so you can enjoy the trip without feeling rushed.

I am scheduled to arrive in Cairo on a flight landing at 10:25 AM on the day the tour begins; would it be possible for me to join from the very first day?

Tour Details
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026
  Unfortunately, arriving in Cairo at 10:25 AM on Day 1 would be too late to join the tour from the beginning, as the Cairo to Aswan domestic flight is normally scheduled in the morning and the tour continues with the Aswan sightseeing program upon arrival.
  
  We would recommend arriving in Cairo at least one day before the tour starts. We can also arrange pre-tour accommodation in Cairo and your airport transfer if required.
  
  This will ensure that you and the other travellers can comfortably take the morning domestic flight and enjoy the complete itinerary from Day 1 without missing any sightseeing.

We are looking for 2 nights in Cairo (Pyramids and GEM) followed by a 4 night cruise from Luxor. We are flexible on dates and can travel any time after the 23rd of November for the next 2 to 3 weeks. I would like a bit more information about the dates / boats you could offer please.

Tour Details
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026
  The departure dates for these packages are fixed: Historic Horizons – Egypt 8 Days: 25 November 2026 Ultimate Egypt 8 Days: 26 November 2026. The Historic Horizons package includes accommodation in Cairo, the Pyramids and GEM visits, a 3-night / 4-day Nile cruise, 2 nights in Luxor, and the domestic flights included in the itinerary. It offers very competitive pricing considering the quality of accommodation, cruise, sightseeing, and services provided.

You can add the domestic flight upgrades during the booking process.

  Is Abu Simbel Temple included in the price? Please confirm if this will be a private car, a shared minibus/coach, and whether entrance fees and an English-speaking Egyptologist guide are included.
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026
  As the cruise departure is still some time away, we recommend booking closer to the departure date. At that time, we will be happy to advise you of the exact Nile cruise ship name available for your departure and provide the relevant details so you can review the vessel before confirming.

  Can you pass on the same discount that currently applies to this particular cruise if we book closer to the departure date?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026
  Please note that our prices and promotions can change without prior notice. At the time you make the booking, the rate and discount displayed on TourRadar will be the applicable rate. Personally, I would recommend confirming your spots now and securing the current rate by paying the deposit. This way, you have the current price and your places secured rather than relying on a future promotion that may or may not be available.

  I can't see anywhere to pay a deposit, only the full amount. Can you please point me in the right direction for this?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026
  Normally, we collect the full balance 60 days before the arrival date, which is why you do not see an option to pay only a deposit at this stage. We have checked whether we can delay the full payment for your booking, but unfortunately, based on your September 30 arrival date, the full payment is now required in accordance with the booking terms and conditions.
