Optional excursions such as Abu Simbel, Hot Air Balloon, Nubian Village and other additional experiences are charged separately unless specifically added to your booking.

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    Arrival and departure transfers in Cairo are included. Once your booking is confirmed, simply send us your international flight numbers, arrival and departure times.

    If I replace the sleeper train with the USD 140 domestic flight, will all airport transfers connected with that flight be included, with no change to the scheduled sightseeing?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    We work with a selection of well-rated, good-quality 5-star Nile cruise vessels rather than committing to one specific ship in advance. The exact vessel is selected according to availability for your travel dates, and our priority is always to provide the best available 5-star option at that time. This standard is also reflected in the feedback and reviews from our previous travellers regarding their Nile cruise experience. As a solo traveller, you will have your own private cabin. The exact cabin and deck allocation are confirmed with the vessel closer to departure.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    The USD 150 entrance-fee package covers the entrance tickets required for the sightseeing included in the main itinerary. Optional excursions and any special/additional tickets outside the standard itinerary are not included in this amount. Abu Simbel, for example, is an optional excursion and its entrance ticket is included separately within the USD 125 Abu Simbel excursion price.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    Yes. If you choose to replace the sleeper train with the USD 140 Cairo–Aswan domestic flight upgrade, the necessary transfers connected with the domestic flight will be arranged by us. The sightseeing programme remains the same. We coordinate the flight and transfers around the itinerary so that you can continue with the scheduled sightseeing programme.

    For your family, we highly recommend booking two double rooms throughout the tour. This provides the most comfortable arrangement and is the best option for a family of four. We would initially arrange one room with a king-size bed for the adults and one twin room with two separate beds for the children.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    We work with multiple 5-star cruise ships. We believe one of our strengths as an operator is our cruise selection, which is also reflected in our guests' feedback. The exact cruise ship name is normally confirmed closer to the departure date, as we source the best available 5-star cruise for your selected travel dates. You are guaranteed a 5-star cruise of the same quality level included in the package. The cabin arrangement will follow the same setup as your hotels.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    The cruise is full board, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. The meal plan starts with lunch on the first cruise day and ends with breakfast on Day 4. Drinks are not included. We normally provide bottled mineral water for our guests.

    The optional Abu Simbel excursion is US$125 per person, or US$500 for the four of you. This is an all-inclusive excursion covering transportation, entrance tickets and an experienced guide. It departs early in the morning from Aswan and returns in time for you to board the cruise before it sails, normally around 3:00 PM.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    Entrance fees for all sightseeing included in the itinerary, from the beginning to the end of the tour, are US$160 per person, including the Old Cairo guided visit on Day 10. For four travellers, this is US$640. The tipping kitty is US$80 per adult. This is US$160 for the two adults, and we are happy to exclude your children from the tipping kitty. While tipping is not mandatory by us, it is customary and expected for the cruise ship staff and drivers. Approximately 30% goes to the drivers and 70% is distributed among the cruise staff, including behind-the-scenes staff who have limited direct contact with guests.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    All transportation during the tour is included. We provide door-to-door transfers, including airport pickup in Cairo, all tour transportation, the transfer from Hurghada to Cairo, and the final airport drop-off.

    A 15% deposit of the tour package price is required to secure your reservation. For the US$3,960 package total, this is US$594. The remaining package balance is due 60 days before your arrival. Entrance fees, Abu Simbel and the tipping kitty can be handled according to the payment arrangements provided at booking.

    There are no domestic flights included in this particular package. The itinerary uses the sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan and the included road transportation from Hurghada to Cairo. If you prefer domestic flights instead, a flight upgrade is available when booking at US$140 per person.

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    For four travellers, the main package is US$3,960. If you choose Abu Simbel for everyone (US$500) and include the entrance fees (US$640) and tipping for the two adults (US$160), the total comes to approximately US$5,260, excluding personal expenses and international flights.

  Asked on August 19th, 2026

  Is there an option to add Shamal elSheikh instead of hurghada.

  Tour Details
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    Our tours are offered with Hurghada resort only. Unfortunately, we don't offer Sharm El Sheikh as an alternative, as the long distances involved would make the journey less comfortable and enjoyable for your family. That said, our tour offers excellent value for money with everything included in the package, and your 7-year-old daughter will receive a $300 discount from the main package price. She will also receive a 50% discount on entrance fees and is exempt from the tipping kitty.

    Our company policy requires a down payment to confirm the booking and the remaining balance to be paid 60 days before the tour start date. We work with competitive rates and early contracts. This is why full payment is required in advance. It allows us to secure accommodations and services at the best available price and avoid last minute rate changes. For this departure the remaining balance would need to be completed before mid February.
