We are not a marketplace reselling someone else's tours. The consultant who plans your itinerary is the same person who answers when you message from Luxor at midnight.
Registered with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, licence no. 1995 — a number you can check before you pay anyone anything.
Licensed Egyptologists lead every excursion, named in your confirmation, working for us rather than for a subcontractor.
No group fillers and no shopping stops. Your party, your pace, and a day that can be rewritten the night before.
Entrance fees, transfers, taxes and internal flights sit inside the quote. Nothing is added at the temple gate.
A full day-by-day itinerary costs you nothing, and a 30% deposit is the first money that changes hands.
One number, answered in Egypt, for the whole trip — not a call centre in another time zone.
Every quote is a real one, posted under the traveller's own name.
They helped me plan my day and arranged for an Egyptologist and driver to take me to all these places.
Thanks to well organised sightseeing and tour guide Ahmed who was professional and pleasant.
We trusted EgyVacations for our trip to Egypt… They made our trip anxiety free, they solve every problem from our arrival to the airport till our departure.
You talk to a travel consultant, they build your trip, and you only confirm when the itinerary is right.
Your travel month, group size and what you'd like to see. Two minutes on the form, or a message on WhatsApp.
A consultant writes your day-by-day plan with hotels, guides and transfers, priced in your currency. Free, and yours to keep.
Adjust it as many times as you like. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged until you say the itinerary is right.
You're met at the airport, and your consultant stays reachable 24/7 for the whole trip — the same person, not a call centre.
Pick a question on the left. We answer it the way we would answer it on the phone — with the numbers, and with what we would actually do.
The comfortable half of the year runs October to April: 20–28 °C in Luxor and Aswan, which is what open-deck sailing and three hours inside a temple actually require.
Our tip
Book three to four months out for November to February. For a dahabiya, make it four — they carry twelve people and the good cabins go first.
Most nationalities — US, UK, EU, Australian and Canadian included — get a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, or online as an e-Visa before they fly.
Our tip
Carry the $25 in cash. The visa window at Cairo takes dollars and gives change in Egyptian pounds, and the card machine is not always working.
Hotels, cruisers and restaurants take Visa and Mastercard. Markets, tips and small cafés are cash. We quote in US dollars and can invoice in EUR, GBP or AUD.
Our tip
Change a little at the airport and the rest at your hotel. Street exchange offices quote well and pay badly.
Light cotton for the days, one layer for the evenings, and shoes you can walk a temple in. Everything else you can buy here for less than you paid at home.
Our tip
Leave room in the case. Cotton, spices and a hand-made galabeya cost a fraction of the airport price in Khan El Khalili, and your guide will tell you the real one.
Cairo to Luxor is an hour by air and ten by road, so almost every itinerary flies it. Between Luxor and Aswan the river is the road, and your room moves with you.
Our tip
Sail Luxor to Aswan rather than the reverse if you can choose. You go upstream against the current, which means slower, longer afternoons on deck.
No. A consultant writes you a day-by-day plan with hotels, guides, transfers and a full price, and you can change it as many times as you like. A 30% deposit is the first money that changes hands, and only once you say the itinerary is right.
Yes. The tourist corridor — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Nile — receives millions of international visitors a year and is managed by a dedicated tourist police force. The areas named in travel advisories, such as North Sinai, are nowhere near any itinerary we operate.
Private by default — your party, your guide, your vehicle, your pace. We run small group departures too, capped at twelve, and they are labelled as such on the tour. There are no shopping stops on either.
Entrance fees, transfers, guides, taxes and internal flights sit inside the number we send you. What sits outside it is named in writing: international flights, your visa, tips, and anything you order yourself. Nothing is added at the temple gate.
30% confirms the booking — 50% over Christmas, New Year and Easter. The balance is due two days before arrival, or in cash when you land. Bank transfer, a secure card link, PayPal and cash on arrival are all accepted.
Every one of them. Add a day in Alexandria, swap a museum for a felucca, start on a Thursday, stretch it to the Red Sea — the itineraries here are starting points, and the person who writes yours also briefs the guide who runs it.
Under-twos travel free, under-sixes pay 30% and under-twelves 50% of the adult tour cost when sharing the parents' room. Because the tour is private, a day can be shortened or a rest morning added without asking anyone else.
Charges run from 15% at 61 days or more down to 100% inside 14 days, with higher bands over Christmas, New Year and Easter. If a government or airline issues a do-not-travel warning we refund the tour or hold it as a credit. The full table is on the terms page.
