Is it possible to schedule this tour beginning on or after few days after December 21, 2026? I may be able to schedule 2 more people.

The Mysteries of Egypt tour normally starts on a Friday as the programme includes Alexandria and in order to visit the library which is open from sunday to thursday only we have to do this visit on a Sunday as this is what the schedule permits. However we could do the following which would be as follows 22 dec arrival in Cairo and overnight 23 Dec Full day Pyramids Memphis and Sakkara overnight 24 Dec Full Day Alexandria overnight 25 Dec Full Day GEM museum and Medieval Cairo 26 Dec Travel to Luxor and start the cruise. 26th dec to 30th dec cruise with all indicated visits in the itinerary 30th to 31st dec Cairo 31st dec departure so it would include the same amount of nights in Cairo just the order of the visits would be slighlty different to accomodate the tour of Alexandria As it is Christmas period there is obviously a supplement for this period however I believe if we managed to book this far in advance we would be able to book the rooms without the normal surchage and keep the sales price as indicated at 1956 USD per person in double + the mandatory tips for the cruise at 60 USD. If the group were to be at least 6 people we would also run it in private for you at no extra cost.

Everything about this trip was absolutely fantastic, and I cannot recommend it enough. The organization was perfect from start to finish, making the whole journey smooth and stress-free. The tour guides were outstanding — Mirna, Kerolos, and Medhat were all extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about Egyptian history, which made every visit even more engaging. The hotels were excellent, and the cabin on the Nile cruise was stunning. The food on the boat was also amazing, with great variety and quality throughout the cruise. Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations in every way. I would highly recommend the “Legends of Egypt” tour to anyone considering a trip to Egypt.Show more

Had an awesome time and fun on this Egypt tour by the operator Planet Tours. The whole team from the drivers, staff helping at the airport with visa, support staff were very helpful. I would like to mention, my tour guides Robert, Ahmed and most of all Yasin the coordinator of this trip were very helpful, knowledgeable, supportive and patient. They made this trip happen and made it a memorable one for me by taking care of every detail which I will cherish. From the first day of airport pickup till the last day back to the airport drop, they made sure to make it easy and comfortable for me as medically can be challenging for me. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you so much Planet tours and the team.Show more

  The Mysteries of Egypt tour normally starts on a Friday as the programme includes Alexandria and in order to visit the library which is open from sunday to thursday only we have to do this visit on a Sunday as this is what the schedule permits.
  
  However we could do the following which would be as follows
  
  22 dec arrival in Cairo and overnight
  23 Dec Full day Pyramids Memphis and Sakkara overnight
  24 Dec Full Day Alexandria overnight
  25 Dec Full Day GEM museum and Medieval Cairo
  26 Dec Travel to Luxor and start the cruise.
  26th dec to 30th dec cruise with all indicated visits in the itinerary
  30th to 31st dec Cairo
  31st dec departure
  
  so it would include the same amount of nights in Cairo just the order of the visits would be slighlty different to accomodate the tour of Alexandria
  
  As it is Christmas period there is obviously a supplement for this period however I believe if we managed to book this far in advance we would be able to book the rooms without the normal surchage and keep the sales price as indicated at 1956 USD per person in double + the mandatory tips for the cruise at 60 USD. If the group were to be at least 6 people we would also run it in private for you at no extra cost.

  Traveler•Written January 2026
  we are not sure if we are up for the long plane rides with at least 3 changes of planes each way
- Planet ToursOperator•Written January 2026
  We do fully understand the complications of getting to Egypt and yes the idea of taking 3 flights sounds a lot to deal with. While we dont provide the international flights we could perhaps help with checking alternative routes for you and we are quite happy to adapt our itineraries if there is a different day of arrival that makes the journey less stressful.
