Can you please advise regarding the assistance for a return flight to Auckland? The travellers are considering booking an extra 3 post nights.

Yes, we can certainly assist with booking your return flight to Auckland. Please note that adding three post-tour nights will not affect your tour arrangements in any way.

Why are options like a hotel in Cairo or dinner after the tour presented as extras?

Can you arrange an international flight back to Germany?

Can I add a Jordan extension to this trip. My flight back home would be on Sunday April 5th from Amman. Is it possible to do both Petra and Wadi Rum?

Yes, we can definitely arrange your tour in Jordan. Your tour will be from April 1st to April 5th. Please let us know the main sites you would like to visit in Jordan so we can provide the best program and price for you.

Husband and I would like to tour Egypt in Feb 2026. Not really interested in the Hot Air Balloon but interested in the rest of the tour

You may skip the hot air balloon tour and instead visit Habu Temple and the Tomb of Tutankhamun as an alternative.

Are international airfares included in the tour price? The tour title suggests international flights are included, but under the Flights tab, it states they are not and can be arranged at an additional cost.

Your tour package includes a one-way flight from your country to Cairo International Airport. The return flight from Cairo to your country is not included in the package.

1) For hotel in Cairo, are we getting 2 double rooms to fit 4 of us or is it 1 room with 2 double beds that will fit all 4 of us in one room? 2) What are the options for SFO-Cairo flight? 3) For the Nile cruise, can we get more information about which cruise/boat it is? Will the cruise accommodate vegetarian/vegan/allergy-friendly food options? 4) When you say we begin after breakfast, what is the approximate start time each day for the visits? I want to make sure it isn't too early for the little kids.

Cairo Hotel Accommodation – You will be getting two double rooms, each room accommodating two people. International Flight (SFO–Cairo) – We will check the available flight options from San Francisco to Cairo. Nile Cruise Information – We usually work with luxury ships such as Le Fayan, Sarah II, renaissance and Royal Elite. Cruises operate with an open buffet style, giving you a wide variety of food options to choose from, including vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-friendly meals upon request. Daily tours start at around 8:00 AM, which is a comfortable time for sightseeing while still keeping it easy for little ones.

  We chose this tour because it had the international airfare included but if you have any other recommendations please feel free to suggest - this will be be our first visit to Egypt so we don't know what we don't know! Obviously we would like to see the pyramids & do a Nile River Cruise, any other must do's?

  Traveler•Written February 2026
  Can you please provide a quote for return International Airfares allowing say 3 nights in Cairo at the end. Would it be possible to have a stop over for a couple of nights in Dubai, or Abu Dhabi? Would need to know total cost of tour & international airfares before confirming. Ideally we would like to depart Auckland Friday 23rd October but can be flexible with dates.
