  Asked on September 22nd, 2026

  Is there a way to add a day or space to visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara to the tour?

  Tour Details
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    Yes, we can arrange a visit to the Step Pyramid of Djoser and explore the Saqqara area. However, this would require adding a free day in Cairo to the itinerary. Saqqara is quite a distance from the main Cairo sightseeing areas, so having a dedicated free day would allow us to arrange the visit comfortably without affecting the rest of the tour schedule.

    Is there a way I can see how different would the price be with that extra day and extra tour?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    The additional day to visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser and explore Saqqara would be USD 145 per person, so USD 290 total for 2 adults. This would require adding one free day in Cairo to the itinerary so we can arrange the Saqqara sightseeing comfortably without affecting the scheduled tour activities.

  i'd like a package including flights from UK. Do you have links with tour operators who offer the full service?

  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    Our package starts and ends in Cairo, and international flights from the UK are not included. You would need to arrange your international flights separately.
    
    Once you arrive in Cairo, we arrange the tour accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, Nile cruise, and the internal travel included in the itinerary.

    On the last day, we are considering taking a flight back from Hurgadha to Cairo. Will your tour help pick us up from Cairo and take us to our Cairo hotel?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    If you arrive in Cairo at approximately 6:30 AM, our representative can meet you at the airport after immigration and baggage collection. Standard hotel check-in is later in the day, so early check-in cannot be guaranteed and depends on room availability. If you would like guaranteed access to your room early in the morning, we can arrange an additional pre-tour night.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    The exact restaurant used during the Cairo/Giza sightseeing is selected according to the daily arrangements and will be confirmed by your guide. We therefore cannot confirm the restaurant name this far in advance.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    Meals on the Nile cruise are served as an open buffet with a wide variety of dishes, including vegetarian options. Please let us know about any specific dietary requirements when booking, and also inform your guide at the beginning of the tour. The cruise includes full-board meals.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    Yes, you can upgrade the final Hurghada-to-Cairo journey from the included bus transfer to a domestic flight. Once you arrive in Cairo, we can arrange your transfer to your Cairo hotel as part of the final transfer arrangements.

    Can I leave my luggage at the hotel and explore the city if my room is not ready on arrival?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    Yes, absolutely. If your room is not ready when you arrive, you can leave your luggage safely at the hotel and explore Cairo while waiting for the standard check-in time. You can then return to the hotel later to complete your check-in.

    We are thinking of adding paradise island. My husband and I are not great swimmers so will a life jacket be provided for snorkeling?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    There is no specific luggage limit for the Nile cruise itself. You can bring your regular travel luggage onboard, and it will be kept in your cabin.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    For the Paradise Island excursion, life jackets and snorkeling equipment are provided. You do not need to be a strong swimmer to join, and you can also enjoy the boat trip and island without snorkeling if you prefer.

  Tour Details
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    Yes, we can arrange a tour that fits your schedule from Monday to Sunday. We recommend our Queen Cleopatra tour, which can be customized around your travel dates. This will allow you to arrive in Cairo on Sunday evening, start your tour the following morning, and be back in Cairo by Sunday.

    We will arrive this Sunday at 5:10 at the airport. We depart on Monday morning the 28th at 8:30. We would like to maximize our trip to fit this schedule. As this is our first time in your country we don't know what to expect as far as the advantages of travel by plane or overnight train but we want to be comfortable. I'm sure you know all of the sites people want to see so I won't list them all but I would like you to include flights to Abu Simbel. I welcome your input and look forward to working with you if we can accomplish these goals.
  • 

    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. You may proceed by selecting the next available departure, September 21, and adding one night of pre-tour accommodation in Cairo for Sunday, September 20, so you can check in directly upon your arrival. The reason we recommend the Historic Horizons package in your case is that the round-trip domestic flights provide a more comfortable travel experience compared with the sleeper train included in the Queen Cleopatra package.

    So me and my partner would travel together, We intend to land at Cairo and then do this 8 day trip with you (30 Sep to 7 Oct). We then intend to stay back at Cairo for the exit starlight festival, Maybe explore Alexandria on 11th 12th Oct and fly back on 13th? Would that be okay?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    That sounds like a great plan, and the dates work very well together.
    
    You can join our 8-day Egypt tour from September 30 to October 7, covering Cairo, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Nile Cruise, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Luxor and Hurghada.
    
    After the tour, you can extend your stay independently in Cairo for the Starlight Festival and continue exploring at your own pace before flying home on October 13.
    
    For October 11 or 12, we can also arrange a private day trip to Alexandria from Cairo, so you can make the most of your additional days in Egypt without having to organize the transportation and sightseeing separately.

    This is not a basic or low-cost Egypt tour. It is one of our best-selling packages, specifically because it combines a high standard of accommodation and experiences with a genuine 50% discounted package price.
    
    Your package includes:
    
    • 1 night at Helnan Dream Hotel, a 5-star hotel in Cairo.
    • 2 nights at Jaz Casa Del Mar Resort, a 5-star resort in Hurghada, on an All-Inclusive basis.
    • 3 nights aboard a 5-star Nile cruise, on a Full Board basis.
    • Elite Class Sleeper Train between Cairo and Aswan — the highest and most expensive sleeper-train class available in Egypt, and the class normally used for tourists.
    
    If you compare the cost of these hotels, the 5-star Nile cruise and the Elite Class sleeper train individually, you will find that these services alone can exceed USD 750 per person, before adding the sightseeing, private transfers, guides and other services included in the package.
