Top-Rated Egypt Tours from Dubai

Egypt is a short hop from the UAE: direct flights from Dubai to Cairo take around four hours. Egypt is one to two hours behind the UAE, depending on the time of year, so there is no real jet lag and you can start sightseeing straight away. That makes Egypt tours from Dubai easy to fit around school breaks or a few days of leave.

No. Our Egypt tours from Dubai start and end in Egypt, so you can fly from Dubai or Abu Dhabi with the airline and times that suit you, and we can help you book the flights if you wish. We meet you on arrival, and domestic flights inside Egypt, for example from Cairo to Luxor or Aswan, are included wherever the itinerary says so.

It depends on the passport you hold, not on your UAE residency alone, and the rules change from time to time. Tell us your nationality and we confirm the current requirements when we plan your trip, before you book flights. For many nationalities Egypt issues a single-entry tourist visa for $36, valid for 30 days, on arrival at the main airports or online, but check with us before relying on it.

Our private Egypt tours from Dubai start from $1,060 per person for 5 days in Cairo and Luxor. A 7-day Cairo and Nile cruise trip starts from $1,620, 8-day trips from $1,300, and 9- to 12-day trips that add Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh run from $1,860 to $2,360. Prices are per person in US dollars and include your guide, hotels or cruise cabin, transfers and the listed entrance fees; flights from the UAE are extra.

Yes. The shortest trip on this page is 5 days in Cairo and Luxor, and a 6-day trip adds Aswan and Abu Simbel. Because every itinerary can be adjusted in length, a consultant can also plan a shorter Cairo and Giza Pyramids break around a long weekend or a public holiday, with your own guide and driver from the moment you land.

Yes, and it does not need a long holiday. A 7-day Cairo and Nile cruise package starts from $1,620, and 7- to 8-day versions on a traditional dahabiya sailing boat start from $1,700. On a Nile cruise you sail between Luxor and Aswan and visit the temples along the river with your Egyptologist guide, without packing and unpacking every night.

Mid-October to April is the most comfortable season, and the UAE winter and spring school breaks both fall inside it. Those weeks are busy, with Christmas and New Year filling first, so book 2 to 3 months ahead. The summer break falls in Egypt's hot season, especially in Luxor and Aswan, but brings fewer visitors and lower prices, and the Red Sea coast is a good choice then.

Prices are quoted in US dollars, and you pay only once the itinerary is the one you want; booking is by enquiry, with no online checkout. A deposit as low as 30% confirms the trip (50% over Christmas, New Year and Easter), and the balance is due two days before arrival or in cash on arrival. You can pay by bank transfer, a secure payment link, PayPal or cash on arrival.

Yes. Every tour is private by default, with your own licensed Egyptologist guide, vehicle and pace, so the days can follow your children's rhythm. Children sharing a room with two paying adults travel free under 2, pay 25% from 2 to 5 and 50% from 6 to 11; from 12 they pay the adult rate. Some cruises and hotels have their own child policies, and we tell you about them when we quote.
