Immortal Egypt – GEM & 5-Star Accommodation

The USD 150 per person entrance fees cover the entrance tickets for the sightseeing included in the main itinerary, such as: • Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx • Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) • Philae Temple in Aswan • Kom Ombo Temple • Edfu Temple • Karnak Temple • Luxor Temple • Valley of the Kings • Hatshepsut Temple The USD 150 is paid locally to your tour manager upon arrival, so you do not need to pay it in advance. Please note that entrance fees for optional tours, such as Abu Simbel, are separate.

You can either select and pay for them in advance or choose and pay for them locally during the tour.

Yes, you can add the optional Abu Simbel tour to your trip. The cost is USD 125 per person, so for 2 travellers the total would be USD 250. The excursion includes transportation from Aswan to Abu Simbel and back, entrance fees, and a guided visit to the Abu Simbel Temples. You can add the excursion to your booking in advance, which we recommend for your November departure.

we were planning to have a triple room as we are travelling as a family but our daughter is 24. Are the rooms large enough for three or can you request larger rooms?

On Day 9, you will return from Hurghada to Cairo by bus. The journey normally takes approximately 6–7 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions, so we recommend booking your international flight later in the day or, preferably, the following day to allow enough time. If you would like to stay one additional night in Cairo, we can arrange a 5-star hotel for you, as well as your airport transfer the following day.

Yes, that would be very easy to arrange. We can add a second day in Cairo before the main tour, and we can also arrange a visit on the first day if your group arrives in Cairo in the morning.

We will most likely use Helnan Dream Hotel in Giza, or a similar 5-star hotel of the same category. The final hotel is confirmed closer to the departure date. You can select one night of pre-tour accommodation when making your booking. Once your booking is confirmed, we can manually add the second night for you, so you can stay at the same hotel without changing hotels. Both Cairo International Airport (CAI) and Sphinx International Airport (SPX) are fine. Cairo is a busy city, so the difference in transfer time can vary depending on traffic, but there is no issue arriving through either airport. We can arrange your airport pickup from either CAI or SPX on November 7. The airport pickup is included in the tour price, so there is no additional charge.

The daily amount shown is a tipping kitty for the drivers and the Nile cruise ship crew only, and it totals USD 64 per person for the entire tour. Around 30% goes to the drivers, while 70% is distributed among the cruise ship crew. It is normally collected at the beginning of the tour because you start receiving services from the first day, including your airport pickup and transfers. If you prefer to handle the tips yourself instead of contributing to the tipping kitty, that is absolutely fine as well. Regarding the optional tours, any tips related to the optional excursions are already included in the optional tour price, so there are no additional tips required for those activities.

Yes, the 16 December 2026 departure is currently available. The rates for December are shown directly on the booking page, and the 16 December departure is currently offered at a discounted price. Please note that these prices are expected to increase soon as availability becomes more limited. If you're ready to travel, I would recommend booking soon to secure the current discounted rate.

Yes, absolutely! That's no problem at all. You are welcome to stay in Hurghada at the end of your tour instead of returning to Cairo. We can also arrange a transfer to Hurghada Airport whenever your stay is finished. The tour includes a bus transfer from Hurghada back to Cairo on the final day, but you are free to skip it or reschedule it for a later date if needed. Just let us know how many extra nights you plan to stay in Hurghada, and we'll be happy to assist with the arrangements.
