Egypt Tour Packages from the USA typically run 7–15 days and combine Cairo, a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, and optional Red Sea stays. Prices start at $1,105 per person for 8-day tours and reach $4,500 for 15-day luxury circuits. All EgyVacations packages include a private Egyptologist guide, airport transfers, and 4–5 star hotels — no group coaches.
I’m Yasser Shoaib. I have been guiding American travelers through Egypt for over 15 years, and the question I hear most at Cairo Airport is always the same: “Where do I even start?” The answer depends on your time and pace. A first-time visitor from the US needs at least 8 days to feel unhurried — 3 in Cairo, then a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Anything less and you are rushing. Anything more and you start uncovering Egypt’s quieter layers: Fayoum’s desert lakes, the Dahabiya sailboats, Abu Simbel at dawn. …
Every Egypt tour package we design for American travelers is private — meaning your group, your pace, your guide. We do not mix clients. Your Egyptologist speaks fluent English and has guided hundreds of US travelers through sites like the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Valley of the Kings, and the temples of Karnak and Luxor. Transfers are door-to-door, hotels are pre-vetted, and every itinerary is reviewed by our operations team before your flight lands in Cairo.
Egypt has seen a significant increase in American visitors since the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza — the world’s largest archaeological museum, housing over 100,000 ancient artifacts, including the complete treasures of Tutankhamun. With new direct flights from US hubs and a favorable USD exchange rate, 2026 is considered one of the best years in recent memory to visit Egypt from the United States. The Egyptian Tourism Authority reported 15.7 million international arrivals in 2024, with North American visitors among the fastest-growing segments.

Most Egypt tours from the USA run 7–14 days. An 8-day package — the most popular choice for American travelers — covers 3 days in Cairo and a 5-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. With 10 days you can add Abu Simbel or the Red Sea coast. With 14 days, Alexandria and the Fayoum Oasis become possible. I recommend a minimum of 8 days for a first Egypt visit from the US — anything shorter feels rushed after a 10–13 hour flight.
Our Egypt vacation packages are land-only, starting from your arrival at Cairo International Airport. International flights are not included because US departure cities vary — whether you fly from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, or Houston, different routings apply. We can advise on the best US–Cairo routes and domestic Egypt flights (such as Cairo–Luxor or Luxor–Cairo) where applicable. EgyptAir operates a direct New York JFK–Cairo route; most other US cities connect via European or Gulf hubs.
October through April is the ideal window for American travelers — daytime temperatures range 18–28°C (65–82°F), making outdoor sites like the Pyramids and Karnak Temple comfortable to explore. December and March are the peak booking months. Ramadan (dates shift each year) is also a rich cultural time to visit, though some restaurants have reduced hours. Summer (June–August) is very hot — over 40°C in Luxor — but prices drop significantly and crowds thin out.
Yes. Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, and Sharm El-Sheikh are safe, actively monitored tourist zones with dedicated tourism police. The US State Department currently rates Egypt as Level 2 — “Exercise Increased Caution” — the same rating as many popular destinations including France and Germany. In 15 years of guiding American clients, I have never had a serious safety incident on tour. Standard precautions apply: avoid political gatherings, don’t venture into Northern Sinai, and follow your guide’s advice. EgyVacations monitors all US State Department advisories in real time and adjusts itineraries if needed.
EgyVacations Egypt packages start at $1,105 per person for an 8-day Cairo and Nile Cruise tour. Mid-range 9–10 day packages with a Nile cruise, Abu Simbel, and Red Sea stay run $1,320–$2,000. Luxury circuits with dahabiya cruises and 5-star hotels range $1,700–$2,500. Our longest package — the 15-Day Holy Family Route — is $4,500. Prices are per person and include private guide, hotels, transfers, and most entrance fees. International flights and personal spending are additional.
Yes. US passport holders need an Egypt tourist visa, which costs $25. It can be obtained in advance via the official Egyptian e-visa portal (visa2egypt.gov.eg) or on arrival at Cairo International Airport. The e-visa is recommended — it saves time at immigration and is valid for 30 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date. No vaccinations are required, though we recommend standard travel health precautions.
All EgyVacations packages are fully private. You will never be placed in a coach with strangers. Your Egyptologist guide, driver, and vehicle are dedicated to your group alone — whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, with family, or with a group of friends. Private touring means you set the pace, linger where you want, and skip what doesn’t interest you. This is the main difference between booking with a local Egyptian operator like us versus an OTA or group tour company.
