Nine ways in.
All of them private.
Each journey below is a tested starting point, not a fixed package. Choose the one closest to your idea and we will change the days, hotels and pace around you.

Still unsure? Tell us your dates and what matters most in a Trip Brief and we will suggest one, or a mix of two.
Private from
start to finish.
Your own car, driver and guide. You will not be added to a coach with strangers.
Prices change with the season, the hotels and the number of travellers, so we quote each trip individually rather than printing a price that may not apply.
We agree the plan with you first. Only when you are happy with the route, hotels and price do we talk about payment.
We plan the Egypt part and the domestic flights. International flights can be booked by you or with our help.
Common questions
about our journeys.
Are these group tours?
No. Every journey is private for you and the people you travel with, from two people upwards.
Why don't you show prices?
Egypt prices change a lot with the season, the cruise ship and the hotel level. A printed 'from' price is rarely the price you pay, so we quote each trip once we know your dates.
Can we combine two journeys?
Yes. Many trips are a mix, for example the first days of Egypt Essentials with the Red Sea finish of Ancient Egypt, Open Water.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to four months for most dates. For Christmas, New Year, Easter and Nile cruises in peak season, as early as you can.
