اكتشف سحر مصر في 8 أيام من القاهرة إلى الغردقة

The additional nights can be booked at the same hotel where you will be accommodated during the tour. December 21 through the New Year is a peak travel period, so hotel rates are subject to availability and may increase as the date approaches. You can send us the exact number of additional nights you would like to stay, and we will check directly with the hotel for availability and the applicable rates for those extra nights.

The tour combines Cairo, a 5-star Nile cruise and the Red Sea, with highlights including: • Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx • Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) • Aswan and Philae Temple • 5-star Nile Cruise • Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples • Luxor, including the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon and Karnak Temple • Hurghada and time to enjoy the Red Sea Accommodation is in 5-star hotels and a 5-star Nile cruise, with transportation and an English-speaking Egyptologist guide for the included sightseeing. Entrance fees are not included and are USD 150 per person for the sightseeing mentioned in the main itinerary. Tipping is USD 64 per person for the entire 8-day tour, covering the drivers and Nile cruise staff. Tipping for the guide is separate and at your discretion. Optional tours, including Abu Simbel, Hot Air Balloon in Luxor, Nubian Village, Paradise Island and Super Safari in Hurghada, can be added separately.

Indeed, this is a group tour, and all our December departures are already confirmed, as we already have bookings for all departures throughout December. You can therefore join one of our guaranteed group departures with confidence. For your preferred arrival date of December 19, 2026, the available itinerary that matches your dates is our Ultimate Egypt Tour package. As you are travelling alone, we can arrange a private single room/cabin for you rather than shared accommodation. We will also be happy to arrange the required airport transfer to Cairo International Airport on December 26, so you can travel directly to the airport for your early-morning flight on December 27.

Yes, it is possible for the 3 of you to stay together in one triple room, usually arranged with a double/twin bed setup plus an extra bed. We can also arrange the Nile cruise cabin for 3 travellers sharing.

For your requested departure on 28 December 2026, the applicable tour rate for the period from 16 December through 6 January is USD 900 per person. For 2 adults and 1 child, you would need to select the triple-room option. Please note that for this particular tour, children are considered adults for the tour price, so the full tour rate applies to your 10-year-old. Here is the complete breakdown for the three of you: Tour price: USD 900 × 3 = USD 2,700. Entrance fees: USD 150 per adult × 2 = USD 300. Child's entrance fees: 50% discount = USD 75. Total entrance fees: USD 375. Tipping kitty for drivers and cruise ship crew: USD 64 per adult × 2 = USD 128. Child's tipping kitty: 50% = USD 32. Total tipping kitty: USD 160. Total mandatory cost: USD 3,235 for all three travellers. There are no additional taxes, local/arrival taxes, or mandatory service charges beyond the amounts listed above. The only additional expenses would be optional excursions and personal expenses, should you choose to add them. Based on the current rates, the total would therefore be above your £1,995 budget. There are currently no additional family or child discounts that would bring the total within that budget, as the child receives the discount only on the entrance fees and tipping kitty. I would recommend doing so sooner rather than later, as prices are likely to increase from the beginning of October as the remaining spots start to fill.

What are the sleeping arrangements on the Cairo to Aswan sleeper train for a solo traveller?

Yes, your first night in Cairo is already included as part of the tour. If you would like to stay an additional 1 or 2 nights in Cairo after returning from Hurghada, you only need to select the post-tour accommodation option for the number of extra nights you require.

Just to clarify, do you mean the one-night accommodation in Cairo that is included in the tour package? If so, we can check the possibility of removing that night from your package since you already have your own hotel booked. Please confirm, and we'll advise you of the applicable deduction.

The package includes all guided tours in Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor, along with 5-star accommodation throughout the tour: 5-star hotel in Cairo 5-star Nile cruise 5-star all-inclusive resort in Hurghada All necessary transportation throughout the itinerary All meals as specified: Cairo: Bed & Breakfast Nile Cruise: Full Board Hurghada Resort: All Inclusive The package does not include: Entrance fees to the sightseeing sites mentioned in the itinerary Tips for drivers and Nile cruise crew Drinks during meals Personal expenses Optional excursions or activities

Our group tour operates on fixed departure dates, so unfortunately it is not possible to start the itinerary on Saturday, 10 April. However, you are very welcome to arrive in Egypt a few days earlier. We can arrange your pre-tour accommodation and organize private day tours to make the most of your time before joining the group tour. Some of our most popular optional tours include: • Old Cairo & Islamic Cairo • Saqqara & Memphis • Alexandria Day Tour These private tours include transportation with a private Egyptologist guide, allowing you to explore more of Egypt before your scheduled tour begins. If you let us know your arrival date, we will be happy to prepare a quotation for the hotel accommodation and the optional tours.
