    The additional nights can be booked at the same hotel where you will be accommodated during the tour. December 21 through the New Year is a peak travel period, so hotel rates are subject to availability and may increase as the date approaches. You can send us the exact number of additional nights you would like to stay, and we will check directly with the hotel for availability and the applicable rates for those extra nights.

  Asked on September 7th, 2026

  I am interested in your "8-Day Pyramids, Grand Egyptian Museum, Nile Cruise, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Luxor & Hurghada" group tour. I will be travelling alone and would like to join a group tour, but I would like a private single room/cabin, not a shared room. Is there a guaranteed group departure starting on December 19, 2026? What is the total price for one person in a private single room/cabin? What is the total price including the Abu Simbel tour? Are entrance fees and tipping included? If not, please tell me the additional cost. Does the quoted price include the Christmas/high-season supplement? Can you transfer me directly to Cairo International Airport on December 26 for my early-morning flight on December 27? Please tell me the final total price including all required charges. My target budget is around USD 1,500, with a maximum of USD 2,000 excluding international flights.

    Indeed, this is a group tour, and all our December departures are already confirmed, as we already have bookings for all departures throughout December. You can therefore join one of our guaranteed group departures with confidence. For your preferred arrival date of December 19, 2026, the available itinerary that matches your dates is our Ultimate Egypt Tour package. As you are travelling alone, we can arrange a private single room/cabin for you rather than shared accommodation. We will also be happy to arrange the required airport transfer to Cairo International Airport on December 26, so you can travel directly to the airport for your early-morning flight on December 27.

  Asked on September 6th, 2026

  We are 2 adults and 1 child (10 years old) considering your tour in late December (after Christmas). Our total budget for all 3 of us is £1,995, including tour price, all mandatory entrance fees for sites in the itinerary, all compulsory tipping / tipping kitty / service charges, and any local/arrival taxes. Could you please send us a clear breakdown of: Total tour price for 2 adults + 1 child on our dates, The approximate total for all mandatory extra costs (entrance fees, tipping, taxes) for all 3 of us, and if the all-in total can stay at or below £1,995 for the three of us. Also, are there any upcoming promotions or family/child discounts that could help bring the total within this budget?

    For your requested departure on 28 December 2026, the applicable tour rate for the period from 16 December through 6 January is USD 900 per person. For 2 adults and 1 child, you would need to select the triple-room option. Please note that for this particular tour, children are considered adults for the tour price, so the full tour rate applies to your 10-year-old. Here is the complete breakdown for the three of you: Tour price: USD 900 × 3 = USD 2,700. Entrance fees: USD 150 per adult × 2 = USD 300. Child's entrance fees: 50% discount = USD 75. Total entrance fees: USD 375. Tipping kitty for drivers and cruise ship crew: USD 64 per adult × 2 = USD 128. Child's tipping kitty: 50% = USD 32. Total tipping kitty: USD 160. Total mandatory cost: USD 3,235 for all three travellers. There are no additional taxes, local/arrival taxes, or mandatory service charges beyond the amounts listed above. The only additional expenses would be optional excursions and personal expenses, should you choose to add them. Based on the current rates, the total would therefore be above your £1,995 budget. There are currently no additional family or child discounts that would bring the total within that budget, as the child receives the discount only on the entrance fees and tipping kitty. I would recommend doing so sooner rather than later, as prices are likely to increase from the beginning of October as the remaining spots start to fill.

    Can I skip the camel ride during the Nubian Village & Super Safari optional tours?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    Early check-in is subject to hotel availability. If you would like to guarantee access to the room immediately upon arrival at 3:00 AM, we recommend booking an additional pre-tour night. Otherwise, we can request early check-in from the hotel, but it cannot be guaranteed.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    For a solo traveller, the sleeper compartment will be arranged as a private cabin, so you will not need to share the compartment with another passenger.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2026

    You can certainly join these optional tours and skip the camel ride. The camel ride is only one part of the experience and is optional; if you prefer not to participate, this can be communicated to the guide/team on the day without affecting the rest of the tour.

  Asked on August 28th, 2026

  I'm a bit confused about the accomodation pre booking option available. I see that a hotel is already available in Cairo as part of the booking when I arrive. We are planning to arrive on 23rd and want to extent our stay in Cairo by 2 1 days once returned from Hurgada. How to do this? Just select the post trip?

  Accommodation
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    Yes, your first night in Cairo is already included as part of the tour.
    
    If you would like to stay an additional 1 or 2 nights in Cairo after returning from Hurghada, you only need to select the post-tour accommodation option for the number of extra nights you require.

    Traveler•Written August 2026

    How to select 2 nights in Cairo after returning from Hurgada? And if I want to extend the stay in Hurgada by one more night, how to do it?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    Yes, absolutely. You can proceed and secure the main tour booking. The system currently allows you to add only one extra night in Cairo after the tour.
    
    Once your booking is confirmed, we can manually add the second night in Cairo at the same rate.
    
    For Hurghada, we can also add one extra night at $180 per double room, on an all-inclusive basis after the booking is confirmed.
    
    So you can go ahead and secure the main booking, and we'll arrange the additional nights for you afterward.

    Is the hotel "Helnan" and the cruise "le fayan 2" confirmed? Im a bit worried about the similar word. I want these two accomodations specifically.
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    I completely understand your concern. The similar wording mainly means that accommodations can sometimes change due to availability, renovation, operational factors, or other circumstances outside our control, so no operator can guarantee a specific hotel or cruise ship in advance.
    
    What we can guarantee is that we always provide the best-quality accommodation available for our customers.
    
    To clarify your specific booking:
    
    Cairo: Helnan Dreamland Hotel is indeed the planned hotel. Hurghada: Jaz Casa Del Mar Resort is indeed the planned resort. Nile Cruise: It will not be Le Fayan 2, but we will make sure you are accommodated on a good-quality cruise of the same high standard.
    
    We'll always do our best to keep the originally planned accommodations whenever possible and ensure the replacement, if ever necessary, is of an appropriate or better standard.
  • D

    Dana

    Traveler•Written August 2026

    If not Le Fayan 2, which one will it be? Will it be a Deluxe one?
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    At this stage, we don't have a confirmed booking yet, and we also don't have your exact travel date, so we can't confirm the specific cruise ship or category yet.
    
    Once your booking and travel date are confirmed, we'll be able to advise you which cruise you will be accommodated on and its category. These details are normally confirmed and shared closer to the departure date.
    
    Rest assured, we will ensure you receive a good-quality cruise that meets our standards.

    Just to clarify, do you mean the one-night accommodation in Cairo that is included in the tour package? If so, we can check the possibility of removing that night from your package since you already have your own hotel booked. Please confirm, and we'll advise you of the applicable deduction.

    my son is 11 yr old, i think i would add that to tips to my total, can you please advise me if we do that how much it would be, 3 adults and 1 11yr old kid..
  • 

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    As a gesture of our appreciation, we will exclude your 11-year-old son from the tipping kitty, so you will only pay tips for the 3 adults.
    
    For your family of 4, the additional amount would be:
    
    Entrance fees: $150 × 4 travellers = $600 Tipping kitty: $64 × 3 adults = $192 Total to add: $792 USD

  Can we depart on Saturday, 10 April instead of the fixed departure date?

    Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

    Our group tour operates on fixed departure dates, so unfortunately it is not possible to start the itinerary on Saturday, 10 April.
    
    However, you are very welcome to arrive in Egypt a few days earlier. We can arrange your pre-tour accommodation and organize private day tours to make the most of your time before joining the group tour.
    
    Some of our most popular optional tours include:
    
    • Old Cairo & Islamic Cairo
    • Saqqara & Memphis
    • Alexandria Day Tour
    
    These private tours include transportation with a private Egyptologist guide, allowing you to explore more of Egypt before your scheduled tour begins.
    
    If you let us know your arrival date, we will be happy to prepare a quotation for the hotel accommodation and the optional tours.
