Every itinerary on this page is private — your own guide, your own driver, your own pace — with hotels and cruise boats our team has inspected in person. The archaeology is done properly, the pace is yours, and nothing on any of them is a commission stop.

Most guests take between 9 and 12 days. That is long enough to give Cairo three full days, spend four nights on the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, and still finish on the Red Sea rather than flying home exhausted.

How long do you actually need?

Eight days covers Cairo and a short cruise. Ten gives you Cairo, Luxor and Aswan without rushing. Twelve or more lets you add Alexandria or the Red Sea. Under a week, we would rather sell you a focused Cairo trip than a scramble.

When to travel

October to April. Upper Egypt reaches 41°C by lunchtime between June and August, which makes tomb days genuinely unpleasant. Those months are excellent for the Red Sea and considerably cheaper.

“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.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

A spiritual tour focuses on Egypt's sacred landscape — the temples of Karnak, Luxor, Philae and Abu Simbel, and the ancient sites tied to ritual and the afterlife. We can also weave in the Holy Family trail through Coptic Cairo, so the itinerary reads as a journey through Egypt's layered religious history rather than a standard sightseeing loop.

Because every spiritual tour is private, we set start times to reach the temples early or late in the day when they are quietest, giving you space for reflection rather than a scrum. Your licensed Egyptologist paces the visit to your group and can allow time for quiet moments at each site.

Yes. Spiritual tours are private and flexible, so we build the days around what matters to you — extra time in a specific temple sanctuary, an early-morning felucca on the Nile, or space set aside for meditation. Tell us your focus when you enquire and we design the itinerary accordingly.

Our guides are licensed Egyptologists who know the religious and mythological background of each temple in depth — the gods, the rituals and the symbolism carved into the walls. They present the history accurately and respectfully, leaving room for your own experience of the sites.

Most spiritual itineraries pair Cairo with a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, since the great temples line the river. The cruise gives you unhurried days on the Nile between sites, and every excursion, entry ticket and air-conditioned transfer on the programme is included.
