Frequently Asked Questions

Egypt's main tourist destinations—including Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Hurghada—generally welcome visitors safely. Tourist areas have strong security measures, and our private Egypt tours include licensed guides and reliable transportation. We recommend checking current government travel advice and purchasing travel insurance before departure.

A 7-to-10-day Egypt tour is ideal for visiting Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and enjoying a Nile cruise. If you also want to explore Abu Simbel, Alexandria, or the Red Sea, we recommend choosing a 10-to-14-day Egypt itinerary.

The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, when the weather is cooler and comfortable for sightseeing. Christmas, New Year, and Easter are peak travel periods, so Egypt tour packages, hotels, and Nile cruises should be booked early.

Top places to visit in Egypt include the Giza Pyramids, Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel. Popular activities include Nile cruises, hot-air balloon rides, desert safaris, Nubian Village tours, and snorkeling or diving in the Red Sea.

Most of our Egypt tours are private and include a dedicated Egyptologist guide and private air-conditioned vehicle. Nile cruise ships are shared with other passengers, but your sightseeing tours can remain private unless a shared excursion is clearly mentioned in your itinerary.

Yes, we specialize in tailor-made Egypt tours. Your itinerary can be customized according to your travel dates, budget, preferred hotels, interests, and trip duration. You can combine Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Alexandria, Hurghada, and a Nile cruise.

Our Egypt tour packages may include hotels, Nile cruise accommodation, private transfers, Egyptologist-guided tours, entrance fees, selected meals, and domestic flights. Inclusions vary by package, so your final itinerary will clearly explain everything included and excluded.

A 4-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor is suitable for a shorter itinerary, while a 5-day cruise from Luxor to Aswan offers a more relaxed experience. We offer standard, deluxe, luxury, and intimate Dahabiya Nile cruises to suit different budgets.

Yes, we can arrange domestic flights between Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, and other destinations. We also provide private airport pickup and drop-off services, including meet-and-assist at Cairo International Airport and comfortable transfers to your hotel.

Yes, we offer customized Egypt family tours and comfortable itineraries for senior travelers. We can arrange shorter sightseeing days, suitable hotels, private transportation, rest periods, child-friendly activities, and mobility assistance when requested in advance.

Most travelers need an Egypt tourist visa, but requirements depend on nationality. Eligible visitors may apply for an Egypt e-Visa or obtain a visa on arrival. Your passport should normally remain valid for at least six months from your arrival date.

Our Egypt tour prices are generally quoted in US dollars, but payments may also be arranged in British pounds or Australian dollars. A deposit is required to confirm your booking, and the amount, exchange rate, fees, and final payment schedule will be stated on your invoice.

Cancellation charges depend on your travel dates and the policies of the hotels, cruises, and airlines included in your package. Christmas, Easter, and other peak-season bookings may have stricter conditions. We will provide the complete cancellation policy before you pay your deposit.

Pack lightweight clothing, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, and personal medication. During winter, bring a light jacket for cooler mornings and evenings. A reusable water bottle, power bank, travel adapter, and small day bag are also useful.

Lightweight, modest clothing is recommended, particularly when visiting mosques and religious sites. Comfortable shoes are essential for archaeological sites. Swimwear is acceptable at hotels, Nile cruises, and Red Sea resorts, while a scarf can be helpful when entering religious buildings.

Book Egypt Travel offers private Egypt tours, tailor-made itineraries, professional Egyptologist guides, reliable transportation, and carefully selected hotels and Nile cruises. As a local Egypt tour company, we provide personal assistance, flexible planning, and firsthand destination knowledge throughout your journey.

We recommend booking your Egypt tour three to six months in advance. For Christmas, New Year, Easter, and other peak periods, booking six to twelve months ahead is advisable because popular hotels, Nile cruises, and domestic flights can sell out early.

Yes, many solo and female travelers visit Egypt comfortably. A private Egypt tour provides an organized itinerary, dedicated guide, trusted transportation, and local assistance. Female travelers should follow normal precautions, dress modestly in traditional areas, and avoid isolated places at night.

Entrance fees to the attractions listed in your confirmed itinerary are normally included. Special tickets—such as entry inside the Great Pyramid, additional Valley of the Kings tombs, or optional museums—may require an additional charge unless specifically mentioned.

Tipping is customary in Egypt for guides, drivers, cruise staff, and other service providers, although the amount should reflect the quality of service received. Tipping is generally not included in Egypt tour packages unless your confirmed itinerary clearly states otherwise.
