Hotel Ratings in Egypt:
Please note that hotel ratings in Egypt do not correspond to those in the USA or Europe. Therefore, we always recommend our Luxury or Luxury Superior hotel options. Some 5-star hotels in Egypt may feel more like 3- or 4-star hotels. Naturally, 3-star and 4-star hotels are not recommended, as we have received many complaints from our customers about them.
Top-Class Hotels:
To ensure that you enjoy high-quality accommodation during your trip, we have prepared a list of luxury and luxury superior hotels for guests who are accustomed to staying in Western 5-star hotels. If you expect the standard of a 4- or 5-star hotel in the USA, EU, UK, and other regions, we recommend choosing only our Luxury or Luxury Superior options during your stay in Egypt.
Visa Service:
Avoid queues upon arrival, save time, and skip complicated procedures. Our representative will have your visa prepared in advance. Simply send us a copy of your passport.
Note: Regardless of your nationality, if you hold a valid Schengen, US, or UK visa, we can offer a visa-on-arrival service. You do not need to apply at the embassy in advance.
Night Train Travel NOT RECOMMENDED:
We do not recommend this option, as you should expect to spend 15 to 18 hours on a very noisy train. The toilets are not well maintained and have unpleasant odors. The food is generally not good. The beds are moderately comfortable. One customer commented: “However, I am 1.90 m tall and barely fit in the bed; anyone taller should expect to curl up.”
If you do not like traveling by night train, we recommend taking a flight instead. Enjoy additional comfortable nights in a 5-star hotel. We recommend changing this transfer to a domestic flight. The additional cost for a one-way flight and one night in a 5-star hotel is $150 per person. Supplements apply during Christmas, New Year, and Easter. Contact us for prices.
Travel Insurance – AIG:
Protect your trip and enjoy greater peace of mind with the AIG Travel Guard travel insurance program. The cost is $25 per person for one week and $50 per person for more than one week.
Business Class Upgrades on Domestic Flights:
Special offer: For only $50 more per person, you can enjoy all the premium facilities and amenities of Business Class, including extra legroom, spacious seats, delicious meals, and high-quality entertainment.
Domestic Flights:
The itineraries indicate average domestic flight prices and approximate flight times. During peak season and for last-minute bookings, some air tickets may become very expensive without prior notice, so additional charges may apply.
Requests for specific flight times or changes to existing bookings may affect the total package price. Some flights to Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada connect through Cairo Airport.
Cruise Itinerary and Sailing Times:
Due to sailing conditions on the Nile, the itineraries, schedules, and sailing times of some cruises may occasionally be updated. We assure you that our guests will visit all the attractions listed in their itineraries, although the order may differ.
Payment Policies:
We accept all secure payment methods: Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfer.
Sightseeing and Prices:
Tour prices are quoted in USD, but you can also pay in euros or British pounds. The listed prices are per person and are updated regularly to ensure you receive the best available price. Our tours are sometimes organized as semi-private or shared small-group tours. A fully private VIP tour can be arranged upon request.
