The itinerary most first-time visitors should book. Two nights in Cairo for the pyramids and the museum, a flight to Luxor, four nights sailing to Aswan, and Abu Simbel before you fly home. It moves at a reasonable pace and does not try to add Alexandria or the Red Sea, both of which would make it worse.
Meet and assist at the airport, transfer to your hotel. Nothing scheduled, deliberately.
Museum first, plateau in the afternoon.
The pyramid prototypes south of the city, then the evening flight to Luxor.
Karnak and Luxor Temple, board the cruiser by noon.
Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut, then sail south.
Both temples from the mooring, sailing between them.
Pre-dawn run to Abu Simbel, back for Philae and the High Dam in the afternoon.
Transfer to Aswan airport for the flight to Cairo and your onward connection.
Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.
Everything listed under what is included is booked and paid by us as part of the package. We hold the reservations; you owe nothing until you arrive in Egypt.
No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.
Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.
The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.

Best seller Four nights, five temples, and the only sensible way to see the river towns.
The northbound run, shorter, and with the current behind you.
Ten cabins, actual sails, and moorings the big boats cannot reach.
