Looking for a longer trip, 12 or more days or two trips back to back, unfortunately just me, suggestions. I would need help with visa's, needed vaccinations and flights

We can absolutely help you with a 12+ day adventure in Egypt, or two adventures planned back-to-back to create a longer itinerary for your preferred date. For solo travelers, our adventures are very suitable, and we can often recommend itineraries that work especially well for single travelers and check if there are any small-group departures around your dates. Regarding your needs: Visas - We can guide you on the type of visa required for Egypt and the general process. In most cases, travelers either obtain an e-visa online in advance or a visa on arrival, depending on nationality. Vaccinations - We always recommend checking with your doctor or a travel clinic, but we can share general guidance on what is commonly recommended for Egypt so you know what to ask them about. Flights - We can help with advice on the best arrival/departure airports and suggested timings. Long-haul tickets are usually booked directly by you or through a flight agent, but we can help you choose the best schedule to fit the adventure dates. Egypt in August is hot but full of atmosphere, with quieter sites at some major attractions, making it a special time to experience highlights like the Pyramids, Luxor, and the Nile at a more relaxed pace.

Can the tour be operated in Spanish?

Yes, this adventure is operated in English as standard. We can also operate it in Spanish with a Spanish-speaking tour guide for an additional charge of 100 USD per day. If you would like the Spanish option, just let us know your exact travel dates and we can confirm the total extra cost for the whole adventure. Egypt is an incredible destination to explore in your preferred language—having a Spanish-speaking guide can make visits to the temples, pyramids, and museums even more enjoyable and easier to understand. We recommend booking soon, especially if you want to secure a Spanish-speaking guide, as their availability can be limited.

Which are the hotels and cruise and specific site seeing tickets that are included?

We outline the hotels, cruise, and sightseeing tickets included in our personalized accessible itineraries for solo adult travelers. Sample Hotels: Cairo (2-3 nights): Tolip Gardens Hotel or similar 4-5★ property with pyramid views, wheelchair-accessible rooms, and ground-floor options. Luxor (1 night post-cruise): 4★ hotel like Steigenberger Nile Palace or equivalent, featuring ramps and spacious accessible suites. Nile Cruise: A 3-4 night luxury 5★ wheelchair-friendly cruise from Aswan to Luxor (e.g., MS carol I or Ciela Nile Cruise), including elevators, wide corridors, full-board meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), and onboard pool/lounge access. Included Sightseeing Tickets & Tours: All entry fees and private guided tours (English-speaking Egyptologist) for: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum (Cairo). Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings (West Bank, with golf carts). High Dam, Philae Temple (Aswan). Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples (cruise stops). Domestic flights (Cairo-Aswan, Luxor-Cairo), private transfers, and meals as per itinerary are also covered. This is a customizable sample for a 7-8 day adventure starting around $1,200-1,800 USD for one adult (depending on exact dates and upgrades).

I saw that this tour is on sale at 690.00$, however on the "Book Now" section, it tells me that it costs around 3000.00$ and that there are no upcoming departures. Does this tour really exist? And which price is the correct one?

the prices in July 1750$ per person

Cost of Travel insurance for one passenger 72 years and one passenger 75 yrs. Also, I understand there was a large museum of Egyptian antiquities recently opened in Cairo. Will that be part of the tour?

Travel insurance costs for seniors aged 72 and 75 vary based on trip duration, total cost, medical history, and coverage level. Expect around $36–$100 per person for a one-week Egypt trip. The Grand Egyptian Museum near the Pyramids fully opened on November 4, 2025, and can be included in your Cairo sightseeing program at no extra cost.

If you do not go on the optional tours what activities are there during this time. Could you give me details of the hotels used, the nile cruise used and confirm if this is a group tour or private

If you decide not to join the optional tour in Aswan, you'll have the chance to relax and enjoy the amenities on the cruise. Our accommodations include a 5-star hotel in Cairo and a 5-star standard cruise, complete with all meals. This adventure is designed for groups with a maximum of 15 travelers, ensuring a more intimate experience. If you prefer a private experience, we can arrange that for you at an additional charge.

What are the names of the ships for the Nile cruise?

Can you confirm the name of the actual hotel we will be staying at in Cairo?

How big is the Boat, how many people in total does it accommodate, can we get rooms that connect. is it clean and air conditioned, if compared to hotels .. is it 3* or 4*

Most Nile cruise ships are medium-sized vessels, generally accommodating from 70 to 120 passengers, with several decks and cabins averaging 18–22 square meters each. Some ships may offer connecting rooms — availability depends on the specific boat. All cruise cabins are air-conditioned, en-suite, and maintained according to strict cleanliness and safety standards. The comfort level is usually equivalent to a 4* hotel (some cruises are classified as 5*, but standard options align with 4* hotels).

Generally speaking, the trip was fine. People showed up mostly when planned and I got to see most of what I expected to in Egypt. That said, there was a lot of disorganization with guides and the guides were sometimes completely unable to answer questions--both about the areas we were exploring and about trip logistics. It was very hard to know who to connect with when a guide didn't appear or when part of the tour was canceled or when somethine wasn't going well. The quality of accomodations were on par with what I paid--I can't be too upset about them considering how inexpensive the trip was, but that's perhaps a good thing to mention. If you're looking for clean, temperature controlled, well situated accomodations, these are not it. (The hotel in Cairo was particularly poorly located, cold, and unclean.) I did think my first and last guide were both really knowledgeable and kind--I learned a lot from both. That said, tipping was very confusing to me as the company collected a tipping fee before the trip and yet all of the guides and drivers either asked for tips or indicated that the company has never given them a tip, so I felt like I paid for tipping twice and it was really akward to try to have a conversation about that issue with any of them. It should be clearer--either the company collects and gives the guides and drivers tips OR I pay for them throughout the trip. I struggle to give this tour 3 stars, but 2 stars seems a little harsh. I wouldn't recommend this tour, though.Show more

Reply from: Truly Egypt Tours
Thank you very much for your review and for your kind words about our guides in Cairo and Upper Egypt. For your package, we actually booked the best available Egyptian airline for the domestic flights, not a cheap option, and this even cost us more in order to secure your tickets. The total you paid was USD 1,824.00 for three people, and this price included a private airport pick up, a private tour guide in Cairo, a 5‑star hotel in Cairo with private car tours to the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum, a 3‑night luxury Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with a private car and private tour guide, one extra night in Luxor at a 4‑star hotel, a private limo transfer to the airport, and round‑trip flights Cairo–Aswan and Luxor–Cairo with the best Egyptian airline. Unfortunately, one of the flights was delayed by about one hour, which is an airline operational issue and completely outside of our control, and this affected the timing of some meals and one of the optional excursions. It is important to clarify that this delay does not reflect the quality or cost of the flights we booked for you, and we are sorry that this aspect impacted your perception of an itinerary that also included a 5‑star hotel, a luxury Nile cruise, and fully private touring services at a very competitive package price.

It usually covers the key visits that would otherwise be done in a group. Adding extra nights in Cairo is possible at 90$ per person per night in double room. The base tour cost is 990 USD per person, excluding optional extras.

Tour Details
- Truly Egypt ToursOperator•Written November 2025
  Most Nile cruise ships are medium-sized vessels, generally accommodating from 70 to 120 passengers, with several decks and cabins averaging 18–22 square meters each. Some ships may offer connecting rooms — availability depends on the specific boat. All cruise cabins are air-conditioned, en-suite, and maintained according to strict cleanliness and safety standards. The comfort level is usually equivalent to a 4* hotel (some cruises are classified as 5*, but standard options align with 4* hotels).
