Amazing trip. The very start to the very end with guides and detail was first class. First was Nashat for Cairo and Alexandria. Then Ahmed Haled were very much first class with information and detail. Lastly, the details to check in at the airport through to Customs was simply A-Class.
CharlesEverything was absolutely amazing, bucket list ???… from our very informative & amazing guide Nader, to the pick and drop off at the airport. The food, the sites, the hotels we stayed at, the Nile river cruise, can’t fault anything. Best experience ever.
GiuseppeVery hard question to answer as EVERYTHING we did was brilliant. Our guide Nader was absolutely amazing and so informative. The pyramids were unbelievable as was the whole Egypt experience. On the Go took care of everything, food, excursion's, hotels, river boat, sights - everything was amazing.
GiuseppeThe whole trip was very enjoyable. The itinerary was very good, the hotels were very good and guides and drivers in both Egypt and Jordan were very knowledgeable, punctual, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to make our trip memorable.

We had so many favourite moments. Seeing the pyramids up close was such a highlight, as too Abu simbel. Having a guide with us was outstanding to have all the way from arrival to departure. The food and guides were outstanding. The heat was hard, although we didnt have the crowds. So this was great.
NaomiAn absolute trip of a lifetime! Adventure from start to finish! Giza, Abu Simbel, the Nile and the incredible immersion into ancient Egypt exceeded every expectation. Helal brought Egypt’s history to life and Zidan made every transition effortless. Memories we’ll treasure forever. THANK YOU!!!!!
CandiceOur tours with Nash were absolutely wonderful. We went to the pyramids, the papyrus center, and the museum. Nash made us comfortable and shared his knowledge in such a meaningful way. Zidan picked us up from the airport and ensured our transition from the airport to hotel was smooth and easy!

Egypt is a place where a guide changes what you actually see. The pyramids, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings are staggering on their own, but without an Egyptologist to read the hieroglyphs and set out who built what and why, a lot of it stays old stone. A tour also handles the logistics, which in Egypt are not trivial. The classic sights are strung along the Nile from Cairo down to Aswan, and the neat way to link them is a cruise, with internal flights closing the longer gaps. Add the everyday friction of heat, touts at the gates and fares to haggle; having the transfers, tickets and a boat reserveed in advance takes the effort out of it. One trip can run from the Giza plateau through a felucca on the Nile to the temples of Luxor, all arranged before you land.
Plan your perfect trip to Egypt
Autumn and winter are the prime seasons, with warm days that suit long hours at the temples and pyramids and comfortable cruising on the Nile. Summer is very hot inland at Luxor and Aswan, though the Red Sea coast stays popular for diving and beaches. Spring is warm and pleasant, with the occasional dusty khamsin wind.
Temperature figures are day-and-night averages for Cairo and the Nile valley, so afternoons feel hotter, and the south around Luxor and Aswan always runs warmer than the coast.
A few practical tips to help you travel smart and make the most of your time in Egypt.
Egyptian Pound (EGP)
Arabic
Cairo
Type C / F
Two round pins, 220VEgypt uses the Egyptian pound. Cards are accepted in hotels and larger restaurants, but cash is still useful for markets, taxis and smaller places. It helps to carry small notes for tips, known as baksheesh, which are expected for many small services.
Lightweight, breathable clothing, good sun protection and comfortable shoes for uneven ground at the temples. Bring layers for cool desert nights and breezy cruise decks, and something modest that covers shoulders and knees for visiting mosques, plus a scarf.
Look out for koshari, ful and fresh flatbreads, with mint tea and fresh juices everywhere. Tap water is not safe to drink, so stick to bottled water, and be cautious with ice and raw salads outside good hotels and restaurants.
The main tourist areas are well used to visitors and generally safe, with a visible tourism police presence. Expect persistent vendors and touts at the big sites, agree taxi fares before setting off, and keep your belongings close in crowds.
Egypt tours include both fully guided and partially guided options. Fully guided trips have a dedicated tour leader throughout, while partially guided trips focus on guided sightseeing in key places such as Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, with more independent time between activities.
Many Egypt tours feature the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, plus museum time at the Grand Egyptian Museum. Further south, common highlights include Luxor’s Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings and Aswan’s Philae Temple, often linked by Nile cruising.
Many itineraries include Nile cruising, usually between Luxor and Aswan, with sightseeing along the river. Trips vary, with some using a 5 star Nile Cruiser and others combining cruising with hotels and overland travel such as overnight trains or internal flights.
Accommodation varies by tour. Options range from 2-5 star hotels, and some itineraries include Nile cruise cabins. Certain trips also feature desert camps or felucca nights (open deck). Global hotel star ratings can vary by country and region.
Family-friendly Egypt tours are available, including dedicated family itineraries. The minimum age varies by trip, with some tours open from age 5, while others have higher age requirements. Checking the age requirement on the chosen itinerary is recommended.
Group size depends on the tour style and operator. Across Egypt tours, the maximum group size ranges from 24 to 65. Private tours are also available, which run without a wider group and focus on the reserveed party.
Some Egypt tours include internal flights, for example between Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. Others use overnight sleeper trains, often in private two berth cabins on certain itineraries. Transport choices vary, so inclusions are best checked on the specific tour.
Meal arrangements vary by itinerary. Some Egypt tours include breakfast daily, while others also include lunches and dinners, particularly on Nile cruise sections. Desert trips may include additional meals at camps. Specific inclusions differ from one tour to another.
Some Egypt tours include a Red Sea stay in Hurghada, combining sightseeing with time to relax by the coast. This can be a good way to balance early starts at archaeological sites with downtime at the end of the trip.
Yes. Some itineraries are multi-country tours that include Egypt alongside Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia or Dubai, United Arab Emirates. On these trips, the Egypt portion still focuses on key areas such as Cairo and the Nile Valley, depending on itinerary.
Signature tour guides bring local knowledge, destination insights and the small details that make each Egypt journey memorable, from the famous landmarks to the everyday easy to miss moments.
