Egypt,
planned by
experts.

I traveled alone and was a little unsure about doing Egypt by myself, but this itinerary worked really well for me. Having the transfers, hotels, domestic flights and guides already arranged took away most of the stress. Cairo and Luxor felt like two completely different sides of Egypt. The Pyramids were obviously a highlight, but I actually enjoyed the Valley of the Kings and Karnak even more than I expected. Five days went quickly, but I never felt like I had wasted a day getting from place to place.

My husband and I chose this because we wanted Cairo but also wanted to experience the Nile rather than spend the whole holiday moving between hotels. Great choice. We loved Philae Temple in Aswan and the cruise itself was probably our favorite part of the week. Waking up and seeing the Nile outside instead of another city hotel was something special. Edfu and Kom Ombo were also much more interesting with a guide explaining what we were looking at. Luxor at the end was the perfect finish.

Abu Simbel was the main reason I picked this particular tour and it was absolutely worth the journey. The scale of the temples is difficult to appreciate until you're standing there. We also had three nights on the Nile cruise, which gave the trip a nice change of pace after Cairo and Aswan. My only advice would be to bring comfortable shoes because you see a lot in eight days! Very well organized overall and I appreciated not having to think about flights and transfers once we arrived.

We were already flying such a long way from Australia, so combining Egypt and Jordan made much more sense than visiting only one country. Seeing the Pyramids at the beginning and Petra near the end made this one of the most memorable weeks we've had travelling. I also really liked the day visiting Mount Nebo, Madaba and the Dead Sea because it was quite different from the archaeological sites. Petra was spectacular and the walk through the Siq before the Treasury appeared is something I'll remember for a long time.

Twelve days sounded long when we booked, but by the end I was glad we hadn't chosen a shorter trip. There is a lot to see in Egypt. We had Cairo, the train south, the Nile cruise and Luxor, and then Hurghada gave us a few days where we could finally slow down. That balance made a huge difference. After temples, museums and early starts, spending the last part of the holiday by the Red Sea was exactly what we needed. I would choose this itinerary again over a shorter sightseeing-only tour.

We did this trip as a family of four and our kids still talk about sleeping on the train and then getting on the Nile cruise. For them those were adventures in themselves! For us, having everything organized made travelling around Egypt much easier. The Pyramids were the big moment everyone was waiting for, but we were surprised by how much we enjoyed Aswan. The cruise days were comfortable and gave us a bit of downtime between the temple visits. Our guide also did a great job keeping the history understandable for the children rather than overwhelming them with dates.

I booked primarily for the archaeological sites, so my expectations were quite specific. The itinerary delivered. Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Philae, Abu Simbel, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings give you an impressive overview of different periods of Egyptian history. Having an Egyptologist guide was particularly valuable at the temple complexes where it is easy to miss important details if visiting independently. Abu Simbel and Karnak were the two outstanding sites for me. The Nile cruise also provided a welcome slower rhythm between visits.

We added Egypt to our honeymoon and honestly didn't know what to expect. It ended up being one of the best parts of the whole trip. Seeing the Pyramids together was surreal, but the quieter moments on the Nile cruise were what made it feel really special for us. We would sit and watch the scenery from the ship after the excursions and it felt completely different from Cairo. Luxor was incredible too, especially the Valley of the Kings. Seven days was a good amount of time for us and the itinerary covered much more than we could have planned ourselves.

Overall this was an excellent holiday and we saw much more of Egypt than I expected. Cairo was intense but fascinating, the Nile cruise was fantastic and Luxor deserves every bit of its reputation. Some sightseeing days are quite full, so this is not a holiday where you sleep late every morning. For us that was fine because we came to see Egypt properly. Hurghada at the end was a smart addition because we had time to rest after all the touring. I gave four rather than five stars only because I personally found the overnight train tiring, but the itinerary itself was very good.

I had wanted to see a total solar eclipse for years, and the idea of combining it with Egypt immediately caught my attention. What makes this itinerary exciting for me is that the eclipse isn't treated as the entire holiday. Cairo, the Pyramids, Saqqara, Aswan, Abu Simbel and the Nile cruise make it a proper Egypt journey before reaching Luxor for the main event. Having the eclipse viewing built into a wider itinerary is exactly what I was looking for rather than trying to arrange transport and accommodation independently around such a major date.

Aswan was one of my favorite places in Egypt. The river views were beautiful, and visiting Philae Temple was a wonderful experience. I would love to return and explore more of the country.

Egypt has so much more to offer than I expected. Exploring ancient temples, visiting the pyramids, and sailing on the Nile made this one of my favorite holidays.

This was my first time visiting Egypt, and I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable introduction. Cairo was full of energy, Luxor was impressive, and Aswan had such a peaceful atmosphere.

We traveled to Egypt as a family and had a fantastic time. The sightseeing schedule gave us a good balance of activities and relaxation. Our children especially enjoyed the pyramids and the boat ride on the Nile.

Cruising along the Nile was the highlight of our holiday. We loved watching the scenery change as we traveled between Luxor and Aswan. Visiting the temples along the way made the experience even more memorable.

We started our day early, but arriving at Abu Simbel made it completely worthwhile. The enormous statues and the details inside the temples were extraordinary. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip.

From Cairo to Aswan, each stop offered a completely different experience. We especially enjoyed exploring the local markets and learning more about Egyptian culture along the way.

We spent the first part of our holiday exploring Cairo before heading to Hurghada. It was a great combination. The historical sites were impressive, and the beach was exactly what we needed afterward.

Egypt had been on my bucket list for years. Seeing the pyramids in person was incredible, and exploring the temples in Luxor made the experience even better. Every destination had something special.

I've always been interested in ancient Egyptian history, so visiting these places in person was a dream come true. The tombs, temples, and museums were even more impressive than I expected.
