An Amazing Rhine River cruise on Scenic This was an amazing experience. It was our first river cruise and Scenic really hit it out of the park! The boat was beautiful, crew did everything to make our experience memorable, dining was Michelin-star quality and service. Excursions each day were very interesting and well organized. We visited two of the great European cathedrals in Strasbourg and Cologne, spent a morning basking in a spa at Baden Baden, and toured a 9th generation winery along the Moselle river. A highlight was a series of four talks by historian and author Robert Watson. He was very interesting and engaging. If we take another river cruise, it will definitely be on Scenic, and we would highly recommend this line and this cruise.

Take this tour!! I highly recommend this tour!!! We saw the Cairo nightlife in addition to tasting amazing food that we never would’ve been able to order on our own. We took a break at one point to sit outside at a colorful cafe and drink traditional mint tea. Our guide was the nicest guy!!!

Arqueología, historia del islam, el Desierto Blanco. Viajesazo Contraté un viaje con esta agencia. Mi asesor Ahmed Khaled estuvo increíblmente atento antes, durante y después del viaje, se adaptó a todas las necesidades y especificaciones que pedimos, así como se ajustó al presupuesto que teníamos. Todos los días nos escribió para preguntarnos si estábamos contentos con el servicio y nos daba explicaciones de qué continuaría. Los guías me parecieron excelnte, especialmente uno llamado Hazem, buenísimo para la parte de Luxor a Aswan. Recomiendo especialmente el viaje al desierto blanco y negro, una experiencia totalmente de Egitpo, dunas, vimos camellos libres, el campamento Sharazada fue impresionante, la comida. Recomiendo el conductor Essam Salah que domina el manejo en dunas y se trepa a todos lados por unas rutas impresionantes.

Cairo in 2 days - experience for a lifetime We booked a 2 days private trip to see the highlights of Cairo, and we could see all the important sites without hurry. Mahmoud, our guide was telling all the historical details, he is very professional in egyptian history and he was very kind and friendly. Big plus that he also offered us a drink one day, and a tea on the other. The only negative experience was that we were forced to visit some shops to buy things (papyrus, parfume, souvenir), and we felt like that we have to buy something in order not to be considered rude. I would suggest to focus on the historical parts and dont involve clients in such awkward situations. Apart from this the 2 days were 10/10.

Egypt Travel Tips from Our Local Egyptologists

Twenty years and thousands of trips have taught our guides what turns a good holiday into a memorable one. Use these tips to choose among our Egypt travel packages.

How much time do you have?

Seven to eight days covers Cairo, a Nile cruise, Luxor and Aswan. Ten to twelve days adds Abu Simbel and calm pacing; fourteen days adds Alexandria.

What is your travel style?

Classic tours offer expert guiding in 4-star hotels, luxury tours add 5-star stays and a private Egyptologist, family tours slow the pace, honeymoon tours add romance.

Nile cruise or no Nile cruise?

Cruising from Luxor to Aswan is the most efficient way to see Upper Egypt’s temples. We recommend it for eight days or more; dahabiyas suit couples.

Do you want to add the Red Sea?

Three to four nights in Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada are popular with families and couples. It needs ten to twelve days plus one domestic flight.

Are you traveling solo, as a couple, or as a group?

Solo travelers often choose group departures for company and better per-person value. Couples and families nearly always prefer private tours.

Still not sure?

Send us your dates, group size and interests. Our Cairo-based team will recommend the ideal Egypt travel package within 24 hours, matched to your exact plans.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Some of the most common questions asked by tourists.

What is included in a Tripianto Egypt tour package?

Every Tripianto Egypt travel package includes hotel accommodation with daily breakfast, a licensed professional guide, private air-conditioned transfers, entrance fees for the sites in your itinerary, and bottled water on tour days. Packages marked “by flight” include domestic flights between cities, and Nile cruise packages include full board on cruise nights. International flights are not included, but we gladly advise on routes and connections.

How many days do I need for an Egypt trip?

Seven to eight days is the minimum for a meaningful Egypt trip covering Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan with a Nile cruise. Ten to twelve days is what most travelers prefer, with Abu Simbel, a slower pace, and the option of a Red Sea extension. Fourteen days suits those who want to add Alexandria, the White Desert, or Sinai. After 20 years, we usually recommend 10 days as the sweet spot.

Can I customize an Egypt tour package?

Yes. Change dates, add or remove destinations, upgrade from a standard ship to a private dahabiya, choose specific hotels, add the Red Sea, or start from a blank page. All tours are private with no fixed departure dates. Begin with our tailor-made Egypt tours.

Is Egypt safe for tourists in 2026?

Yes. Egypt welcomes millions of international visitors each year, and major tourist sites are protected by a dedicated Tourist Police force. Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts are well managed for tourism. Our guides, drivers, and partners are vetted and licensed, and our Cairo team is reachable 24/7 during your trip. As always, check your government’s current travel advisory before you fly.

Do I need a visa to visit Egypt?

Most travelers can get an Egypt e-Visa online in advance or a Visa on Arrival at Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan airports, for roughly $25 USD. Citizens of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and most European countries are eligible. South African and some other passport holders should confirm requirements with the Egyptian embassy. We include full visa guidance in your pre-trip briefing.
