Luxury Egypt tours are the same itinerary as the classic packages, taken more slowly and with the details paid for. Every luxury tour uses 5★ hotels named on your voucher, luxury Nile cruises with balcony suites, and domestic flights in place of the sleeper train.
What luxury actually buys in Egypt
What changes is not what you see; it is the cabin, the hotel, and how many people you share the sun deck with. Karnak is still Karnak whether you sleep at the Winter Palace or the Sofitel Karnak — but a suite at the Old Cataract in Aswan with a Nile-facing balcony is a genuinely different holiday from the room next door.
Hotels named on your voucher
Every hotel is inspected in person by our team and named before you commit. If a suite category is not what we promised on arrival, we move you at our cost — not "similar standard."
Which Nile cruise for luxury
Sonesta St George or Movenpick Royal Lily for 5★ boat with a resident Egyptologist. Oberoi Zahra or Sanctuary Sun Boat IV if you want the highest end. Alfa Nile Cruise if you want a small boat feel with hotel-standard rooms.
Private guides and vehicles throughout
Your own Egyptologist and driver for the whole trip, not just the touring days. Airport transfers, hotel arrivals, restaurant collections — all included in the price.

“Our guide Hoda knew every corner of the Valley of the Kings and got us in before the coaches arrived. Fourteen days and not one wasted morning.”
“Our flight to Aswan was cancelled the night before. The team rebooked us, moved the hotel and messaged at 1am to confirm. We didn't lose a single site.”
“The boat is comfortable rather than glamorous — be clear on that. But the guiding was the best of the three trips I have taken to Egypt.”
Before you go
Travel tips for Egypt
The things guests ask us on the phone, answered properly. Written by the team who meet you at the airport.
When to travel
October to April for the archaeology. May to September for the Red Sea, at roughly two-thirds of the price.
November – FebruaryPeak season. Luxor sits at 23–25°C, ideal for tombs and temples. Busiest and priciest — book about three months ahead.
March – April, October – NovemberOur own favourite. 29–35°C, noticeably thinner crowds, and prices below the December peak.
May – September41°C in Upper Egypt by lunchtime. Excellent for Hurghada and Sharm, hard work in the Valley of the Kings unless you finish by eleven.
Nights get cold8°C in Luxor in January is normal, and cruise sun decks are chilly after dinner. Bring a jacket — nobody expects to need one.
What we'd book. Late October or early November for a first trip — warm enough for the coast, cool enough for the tombs, six weeks clear of the Christmas crowds.
Visas & entry
Most nationalities can get a visa on arrival or apply online before travelling. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
Visa on arrivalUS$25 in cash at Cairo, Hurghada, Sharm and Luxor airports. Single-entry, 30 days.
e-Visa (recommended)Apply at visa2egypt.gov.eg 7 days before travel. US$25, single-entry.
Passport validitySix months from arrival, plus one blank page for the entry stamp.
Sinai-only exemptionFree 15-day permit for Sharm airport if you're not leaving South Sinai. Ask on arrival.
Money & tipping
The currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP). US dollars and euros are widely accepted at hotels and cruise boats; local shops and cafés want EGP.
ATMsWidely available in Cairo, Luxor and the resort towns. Withdraw EGP for local spending; the exchange rate is fine.
Guide tippingUS$10–15 per person per day is the norm. Driver US$5. Restaurant staff 10% if not on the bill.
Cruise crewUS$70–100 per person for a 4-night cruise, pooled and split by the boat manager on the last night.
Card acceptanceHotels and 4★+ restaurants take Visa and Mastercard. Small shops and cafés want cash.
What to wear
Layered light clothing during the day, something warmer for the desert at night, and a scarf if you're visiting mosques or churches.
At the sitesClosed shoes with grip (the tombs are steep), a hat, sunglasses and sun cream.
At the mosquesShoulders and knees covered. Shoes off at the door — a light scarf handles it.
On the cruiseSmart casual at dinner, swimwear on the sun deck, light layers for the top deck at sunset.
In summerCotton or linen. Loose fit. Colours don't matter — locals wear everything from black to bright.
Health & safety
Egypt is generally safe for tourists, especially in the main destinations. Standard travel-health precautions apply.
WaterBottled only, and included on every day tour. Ice at hotel and cruise restaurants is fine.
Travel insuranceComprehensive cover is a condition of booking. Must include diving and ballooning if you're adding those.
MedicalCairo and Sharm have international hospitals (As-Salam, Sharm International). Pharmacies open late, most staff speak some English.
EmergencyOur WhatsApp is answered day and night. If it's a medical situation we call an ambulance for you and meet you at hospital.
Customs & etiquette
Egyptians are famously hospitable, and small courtesies go a long way. The below is the minimum.
PhotographyAsk before photographing people. Never photograph military or police installations.
RamadanSites stay open with shorter hours. Many restaurants close during the day; hotels serve normally.
AlcoholAvailable in hotels, cruise boats, and licensed restaurants. Not sold in supermarkets during Ramadan.
HagglingExpected at Khan El Khalili and the papyrus/perfume shops. Start at 40% of the asked price. Not expected at supermarkets, restaurants or hotels.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
The route is the same; the difference is how you travel it. Luxury tours use named 5-star hotels listed on your voucher, luxury Nile cruises with balcony suites, and domestic flights in place of the sleeper train. Karnak is still Karnak either way, but you see it after a better night's sleep and share the sun deck with fewer people.
Yes. On a luxury tour the specific 5-star hotels are named on your voucher rather than described only by category, so there are no surprises at check-in. This matters because hotel quality varies widely within the same star rating in Egypt. You approve the named properties as part of the written itinerary before you commit.
They do. Luxury packages use 5-star Nile cruisers with balcony suites and a quieter sun deck, rather than the standard boats. The temples visited are identical to any cruise, so what you are paying for is the cabin, the dining and the smaller number of fellow guests. Full board and all shore excursions are included.
Yes, that is much of the point. Luxury tours run the classic itinerary more slowly, with the details paid for, so you have longer at each site and more downtime between them. Because every tour is private, we tune the daily pace to you rather than a coach schedule. Tell us your priorities and we will build the days around them.
Prices are per person in USD and cover your licensed Egyptologist, named 5-star hotels, a luxury Nile cruise, domestic flights, entry tickets and private transport. The per-person rate falls as your group grows. Book via our enquiry form or WhatsApp for a fast reply, with a written itinerary before you commit and free cancellation more than 30 days before departure.
