About this trip
Nine days across Egypt's big four — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Alexandria — with a private Egyptologist guide and your own air-conditioned vehicle throughout. This is a private, fully guided trip, so the pace is set around your group rather than a fixed coach schedule.
You'll move from the pyramids and museums of Cairo down to the temples of Luxor and Aswan, then across to Alexandria's coastal history, taking in over three thousand years of ancient Egyptian civilisation along the way.
Built with families and relaxed sightseeing in mind, it suits travellers who want the major sites covered properly without rushing, and who'd rather have a private guide explaining things than tag along with a large group.
What you'll do
- Explore the Giza Pyramids and the Saqqara Step Pyramid
- Wander Khan El-Khalili bazaar and see Cairo's Hanging Church and National Museum of Egyptian Civilization
- Visit Luxor and Karnak Temples, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple and the Valley of the Kings
- Sail to Philae Temple and travel out to Abu Simbel
- See Alexandria's Qaitbay Citadel, the Library of Alexandria and the Catacombs
- Private tour with your own guide and vehicle, well suited to families or small groups wanting a relaxed pace
- Covers four cities in nine days, so there's a fair amount of travel between destinations
Worth it if you want iconic Egypt sights on a budget with solid logistics. Think twice if you need detailed itinerary specifics or expect standout accommodation.
- Covers the major hits—Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, felucca rides—all in nine days without feeling rushed.
- Guides consistently praised as knowledgeable and helpful; hotels described as nice, clean, and comfortable throughout.
- Blends cultural sites, temples, and beach time in Hurghada, so suits mixed interests but requires tolerating frequent location changes.
- No reviews mention actual costs, meals quality specifics, or any logistical hiccups—suspiciously uniform praise suggests limited critical detail.
