Please note that hotel ratings in Egypt do not correspond directly to those in the US or Europe. Therefore, our Luxury or Luxury Superior hotel options in Egypt are always recommended as a baseline: some 5-star hotels in Egypt appear equivalent to 3-star or 4-star hotels elsewhere. Naturally, 3-star and 4-star hotels are not recommended at all, as we receive numerous complaints from clients regarding them.
To ensure you enjoy high-quality accommodation during your trip, we have curated a list of Luxury and Luxury Superior hotels for guests who typically stay in Western 5-star properties. We strongly recommend selecting Luxury or Luxury Superior options during your stay in Egypt if you expect 4-star or 5-star standards comparable to the US, EU, UK, etc.

Note: Regardless of your nationality, if you hold a valid Schengen, US, or UK visa, we can provide a Visa-on-Arrival service. You do not need to apply in advance through an embassy.
We do not recommend overnight train travel, as it involves 15 to 18 hours in a very noisy train. Restroom facilities are suboptimal, and the food service is generally poor. Bed comfort is moderate at best. Client feedback note: "However, I am 1.90 m (6'3") tall and barely fit into the bed; anyone taller will need to curl up."
If you prefer not to travel by sleeper train, we recommend opting for our flight upgrade. Enjoy extra nights in the comfort of a 5-star hotel. We recommend converting this transfer into a domestic flight. The additional surcharge for a one-way flight and an extra night in a 5-star hotel is $150 per person. Surcharges apply during Christmas, New Year, and Easter periods. Contact us for seasonal rates.
