    Dear Karin, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate both your kind words and your honest feedback, as they help us continue improving our guests’ experiences. We’re especially happy to hear that Hossam and Sohila made such a positive impression on you. We’ll certainly share your compliments with them. Hossam’s effort to keep you informed and make sure you still had a memorable experience despite the changes to the schedule is something we’re very proud of, and we’re delighted that Sohila made your visit to the GEM so detailed and enjoyable. Regarding the delay at the lock, we completely understand how frustrating this was, especially when it affected the planned Luxor Temple visit. Unfortunately, the current maintenance work at the lock is being carried out by the Ministry of Irrigation, and at the moment only one gate is being opened for cruise ships to pass through. This is outside of our control, and the resulting waiting times can unfortunately affect the cruise schedule. Nevertheless, we’re sorry that this reduced your sightseeing time, and we appreciate your understanding. We also want to sincerely thank you for the beautiful, high-quality photographs you attached to your review. It was wonderful to see the sights through your lens — especially how beautifully and peacefully the monuments appear with so few people around. They are fantastic photographs, and we truly appreciate you sharing them with future travelers. Regarding the Nile Dolphin, we take your comments very seriously. Nile Dolphin is a 5-star Deluxe category cruise and recently underwent a major renovation. However, we fully respect that the experience may not have matched your expectations, and we will investigate your feedback with the cruise management to understand where we can improve. Thank you again for traveling with Holiday In Egypt and for recognizing the efforts of our guides while also giving us constructive feedback. We hope that, despite the unexpected delay, you will look back on your Egyptian adventure with many wonderful memories. Warm regards, Reham Holiday In Egypt

    Asked on September 24th, 2026

    Can an 80yo who uses a portable mobility scooter do this tour? Is the cruise ship accessible? Which tours on the itinerary are accessible? Are the hotel rooms accessible. The person can walk a few stairs in and out of a vehicle.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

      For this tour, travelers should be reasonably fit and comfortable with walking, as the itinerary includes several temples and archaeological sites where some walking is required.

      Please note that many of the temple sites have their original, uneven flooring, which can make walking more challenging, particularly for someone using a mobility scooter. There are also some stairs and steps when getting in and out of vehicles and accessing certain areas.

      While we can assist where possible, the cruise ship, sightseeing sites, and hotels are not designed to be fully wheelchair or mobility-scooter accessible, so we cannot guarantee accessibility throughout the entire tour.

      If the traveler is able to walk short distances and manage a few stairs independently, the tour may still be possible with assistance. However, we would recommend considering their mobility needs carefully before booking.

    Can you provide the names of the hotels prior to booking so I can research them? Are there any tips for solo travellers visiting Egypt in general? Are there safety concerns with the sleeper trains for a solo female traveller? Is there an option to upgrade to Elite room if taking the Abela sleeper trains?

      We have not yet released our new rates and final hotel arrangements for the Winter 2027 season. Once the new rates and hotel details are published, we will be happy to reach out to you with the updated information so you can review the hotels before confirming the booking. Regarding the sleeper train, we usually book the Elite Class sleeper train for our customers when available, which provides a more comfortable experience. The sleeper train is a commonly used option by our travellers, including solo female travellers, and our team will assist throughout the arrangements. We would also be happy to provide additional tips and recommendations for travelling safely and comfortably in Egypt as a solo traveller.

    Asked on September 14th, 2026

    would we be back on Monday the 28th for an early morning flight?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

      Yes, the timing would work well. Since you will arrive in Cairo on Sunday, September 20, and your international departure is on Monday, September 28 at 8:30 AM, we can arrange the tour to fit your flights comfortably. We would recommend considering the Historic Horizons 8 Days package instead. This package includes round-trip domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor and also includes a good-quality hotel stay in Luxor at the end of the tour, making the travel more comfortable than the sleeper train included in the Queen Cleopatra package.

      Traveler•Written September 2026

      Please give me the price for the Historic tour that would include the trip to Abu Simbel while crediting the last night that we wouldn't be staying in Luxor. Maybe that night gets moved to the beginning of the trip on Sunday night after we first arrive?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

      The Historic Horizons package is USD 999 per person. You can select the Abu Simbel trip directly on the booking page, as it is available as an optional excursion. Regarding the accommodation, since you have an early international departure flight, we will simply adjust the two included nights in Luxor. Instead of booking two nights in Luxor, we will book one night in Luxor from September 26 to September 27, and one night in Cairo from September 27 to September 28. This will allow you to be closer to the airport for your early international departure.

      Since we will be one less night at the end of the tour can we use that night credit on our first night in Cairo which is Sunday before the tour starts?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

      Yes, we can make adjustments to the accommodation if needed, but in your case, there is one additional night required. The Historic Horizons package includes accommodation from Monday, September 21 until Monday, September 28. You will be arriving one day earlier, on Sunday, September 20, while your departure is Monday, September 28 at 8:30 AM. So you will need one additional night in Cairo on September 20, before the included accommodation begins on September 21.

      Apart from the optional activities listed on TourRadar, are there any other mandatory payments during the tour?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      For Cairo, we currently use Helnan Dreamland Hotel in Giza, or another 5-star hotel of a similar standard if required. The exact hotel and Nile cruise ship are reconfirmed closer to arrival, as accommodation remains subject to operational availability.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      The exact cruise ship cannot be confirmed this far in advance. We work with several 5-star Nile cruise ships depending on availability, and the final cruise name is shared with your final travel documents. The Nile cruise is a 5-star deluxe cruise ship with a private cabin.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      The Abu Simbel excursion is USD 125 per person and includes transportation, entrance fees, and guiding. It is separate from the standard USD 150 entrance-fee package.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      The Cairo to Aswan flight upgrade is USD 140 per person and replaces the overnight sleeper train. Airport transfers are included with the upgrade.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      The USD 150 entrance-fee package covers the main sightseeing locations listed in the tour itinerary. It is collected once on the first day and your guide manages the included entrance tickets afterward.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      The standard tipping amount is USD 8 per person per day, covering drivers and Nile cruise staff. Tipping your Egyptologist guide is separate and remains at your discretion.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      Shopping stops are not compulsory. If you prefer not to visit papyrus, perfume, souvenir, or similar shops, please advise us and we can note your request for the guides.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      This is an active 7-day itinerary with several full sightseeing days. Exact time at each monument depends on the day's program, traffic, cruise schedule, and group pace. We always aim to provide enough time for the main visits, but this is not a slow-paced itinerary.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      The Grand Egyptian Museum visit is included as part of the sightseeing program and entrance-fee package. The supplied tour information does not list separate compulsory charges for the main galleries.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      This is a group tour. The final group size can change as reservations are made, so we cannot confirm the exact number for the 7 December departure yet.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      There are some early starts. Abu Simbel, if selected, normally requires a very early morning departure. The standard tour also includes overnight travel by sleeper train unless you choose the domestic flight upgrade.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      Apart from the tour price, the standard mandatory costs are: Entrance fees: USD 150 per person, Tipping: USD 8 per person per day, Egypt visa: USD 25 per person, if applicable. Optional activities such as Abu Simbel and the domestic flight upgrade are additional.

      We can customize the tour for you. We can upgrade the journey from Cairo to Aswan from the sleeper train to a domestic flight for USD 140 per person. You can end your tour in Luxor after the last scheduled visit instead of returning to Cairo by sleeper train. Regarding your cabin request for a quiet midship cabin on a middle or upper-middle deck, away from the engines, generators, stairs, elevators, restaurant, bar, and sundeck, with a large panoramic Nile-view window - we will forward this request to our operations team and the cruise company.

      Since you will not be taking the included train from Luxor to Cairo, we can replace it with the transfer from Luxor to Hurghada instead. It would be a shared transfer with the other members of the group who are also continuing to Hurghada, so there is no need to arrange a separate private transfer.

      Yes, if you upgrade to the domestic flights instead of the sleeper train, the upgrade includes 2 nights of hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, and all the necessary airport and hotel transfers at no extra charge. So you can be assured that the hotel accommodation for both nights is included.

      Please note that dinner at the hotel is not included. If you wish, it can be purchased directly at the hotel for approximately USD 20 per person.

      Regarding the Nile cruise ship for the November 16 departure, the exact ship is assigned closer to the departure date based on availability. We work only with carefully selected 5-star Nile cruise ships that offer excellent value and a high level of service. In fact, our previous guests have consistently given excellent feedback regarding the cruise experience, with no negative reviews about the cruise ships themselves.

      Rest assured that you and the rest of your group will be assigned to one of the best available cruise ships operating on your travel date.

      If you upgrade from the overnight sleeper train to domestic flights, you will still receive the same sightseeing program and meals included in your tour. The only change is the transportation, as you will travel by plane instead of the sleeper train.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written July 2026
