Best Tailor Made Holidays to Egypt

A tailor-made Egypt tour is a private trip built around your dates, interests, pace and budget instead of a fixed group departure. You choose the cities, the hotels or Nile cruise, how long you stay in each place and what you want to see, and a consultant in our Cairo team turns it into a day-by-day itinerary with your own Egyptologist guide, driver and transfers.

Fill in the short form on this page: where and when, who is travelling, your travel style and what you want to see. A consultant replies, usually within a few hours on WhatsApp or by email, with a day-by-day plan, hotel options and a full price. You change it as often as you like until it fits, and nothing is booked until you confirm.

No. A consultant writes you a day-by-day plan with hotels, guides, transfers and a full price, and you can change it as many times as you like. A deposit, as low as 30% of the total cost, is the first money that changes hands, and only once you say the itinerary is right.

It depends on the length, the hotel level, the season and how many of you travel together. As a guide, our private trips start from $300 per person for a 2-day Cairo short break, mid-range trips with a Nile cruise usually run between $1,400 and $2,500 per person, and longer luxury itineraries of 12–15 days start from $2,300. Your quote lists everything that is included; international flights are not.

Every tailor-made trip is private: a licensed Egyptologist guide at the sites, a private vehicle with driver, airport meet-and-assist, hotels or a Nile cruise cabin, internal transfers and the entrance fees listed in your itinerary, with meals as specified. Domestic flights, a hot-air balloon over Luxor or a Red Sea stay can be added. International flights and the Egypt visa ($36 on arrival) are not included.

For mid-October to April, the most comfortable and the busiest season, book 2–3 months ahead so the hotels and Nile cruises you want are still free; Christmas and New Year fill first. Outside those months shorter notice is usually possible, and we always tell you honestly what is still available for your dates.

Yes. The form lets you add Jordan (Petra, Wadi Rum), Dubai, Türkiye or Morocco. We plan the order, the flights between the countries and a guide in each one, so it runs as one trip with one contact. Egypt and Jordan is the most common pairing.

Yes, within reason. Your guide and our operations team are on WhatsApp for the whole trip, so you can spend longer at a temple, swap the order of two days or add an experience. If a change affects hotels, cruise dates or flights, we tell you what it involves before anything is changed.

Yes, that is where a private trip helps most. We set the pace, the rooms and the transport for families with children, solo and female travellers, older travellers and guests with limited mobility, and your guide adjusts each day to your group. Children under 2 travel free, and children from 2 to 11 pay a reduced rate when they share a room with two adults.

The main tourist areas, Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea resorts, are well protected and patrolled by the tourism police. On a private trip your guide and driver are with you at every site and on every transfer, and we plan around any area that is under an official travel advisory, so your itinerary only goes where it is sensible to go.
