Group Tour Accommodation
On our groups tours we offer quality 3 - 5  hotel accommodation and on our Jewel of the Nile tour and Pyramids City stay we offer a superior 5  hotel and Nile Cruise category.

With more than ten years experience operating tours in Egypt, countless hotel inspections and monthly quality assurance testing, we certainly know our stuff when it comes to selecting quality accommodation. The emphasis is on accommodating you in well managed, reputable properties that factor in comfort, cleanliness and a good range of guest facilities.

It is also important to us that our hotels are in close proximity to restaurants, markets, shops and other attractions - something many other operators do not offer. With on the go your hotels will be centrally located so that you can go out and explore on your own and make the most of your Egyptian holiday experience. 

All our hotel guest rooms offer en suite bathrooms, a television, fridge and more importantly, air conditioning. Additionally, all of our group tour accommodation (excluding camps in the White Desert or Wadi Rum) boast a range of guest facilities such as a restaurant and swimming pool. Most have additional facilities such as bars, shops, ATM machines and nightclubs.

Our 4 - 5 accommodation

On our Jewel of the Nile tour, you'll stay at superior 5  hotels with all the hotel features mentioned above and at times stay at heritage properties such as the Marriot hotel in Zamalek - once the Ottoman palace of Khadive Ismail. Additionally you will be upgraded to comfortable sleeper train cabins on overnight train journeys and cruise the Nile aboard a 5  deluxe Nile cruiser. Likewise, our 2 family tours offer hotels of a 4 - 5  standard and upgrade to sleeper cabin.

Cruising the Nile in style onboard a Nile cruiser is part of our Jewel of the Nile tour or Nile 5 star bolt-on or Pharaoh’s Pass bolt-on. You’ll enjoy the comfort of a well-appointed cabin and a range of guest facilities including restaurant, pool and sun deck aboard your floating hotel.

On many other tours you will sleep under a blanket of stars onboard a Nile felucca sailing boat. The boat deck is draped with soft colourful cushions that serve as your lounging and meal area during the day and as your sleeping area at night. An option on any tour including a Nile felucca cruise is to upgrade to a 5  Nile cruiser via our Nile 5 star bolt-on or Pharaoh’s Pass bolt-on, with all the inclusions as mentioned above.

Oases hotels & desert camps.

Western Desert
On our Dunes & Tombs and Sandblaster tours and Western Desert bolt- on, we travel to remote areas of the country where accommodation is basic and facilities are modest. With plenty of research we can safely say we use the best, reasonably priced hotels within these regions. During our time in the Western Desert we are often able to camp freely with no tents, under an incredible blanket of the stars, such as in the White Desert. 

Wadi Rum
On our Road to Jordan and Petra & Wadi Rum bolt-on, we spend a night in the Wadi Rum desert where you can choose to camp under the stars or in tents at our remote Bedouin camp. Our camp is set amongst towering weathered sandstone rocks and rolling red sand dunes. It has permanent tents with twin beds, a toilet block with a cold shower and a communal seating area to gather in at night and enjoy some traditional Bedouin food. Desert camping, although basic, is fun and it's the best way to experience Wadi Rum. Bedding and blankets are provided though you may prefer to use your own sleeping bag.

Getting from A to B
Since we have passengers joining our tours from different parts of the world, we do not include the cost of the international flights anywhere in our brochure. All our tour prices exclude the cost of international flights. We can arrange flights for you if you require.

Travelling through Egypt and Jordan is an interesting experience and we use some distinctively Middle Eastern modes of transport to spice up your holiday - a camel ride at the pyramids and a sunset horse and carriage ride through the Siq in Petra to name just a couple! On all tours we use a variety of transport for your comfort and convenience.

On many of our group tours journeying south from Cairo to Aswan and/or Luxor, we utilise the overnight seater train service. Seating is reserved in air conditioned Nefertiti Class, wagons. Nefertiti style seats are located within a 6 person, semi enclosed cabins. Whilst seats don’t recline, the lights can be switched off inside your cabin. It is suggested you bring some ear plugs and also an eye mask for personal comfort. A neck pillow is also good idea, for a little added comfort. Rest rooms (which are very basic in standard) are located at the end of each wagon.

On our Jewel of the Nile, Family tours and many tailor-made itineraries we include the sleeper cabin train as part of your journey. Cabins on the sleeper train are lockable, equipped with 2 bunk beds, linen, washbasin and towel, allowing passengers to relax and stretch out. Meals are included on the overnight sleeper train service. On all other tours (taking the Nefertiti Seater Train) we offer the option to upgrade to a sleeper cabin on the Sleeper train and if you would also like to upgrade to the Nile Cruiser, we offer the money saving Pharoahs Pass.

Across the rest of Egypt and Jordan, we utilise a combination of air-conditioned vehicles including cars, coaches and 4x4 jeeps. On our Road to Jordan tour and our ‘Petra & Wadi Rum’ bolton, we take a private ferry between Taba (Egypt) and Aqaba seaport (Jordan).

Our optional bolt-on excursion to Abu Simbel includes a return flight from Aswan, saving an eight hour round-trip as part of a government convoy on unserviced roads. We spring no unwelcome surprises and use only routes that are well tested and reliable.
