Important Notes About the 8-Day Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel Tour (For Archaeology Enthusiasts)

Hotel Ratings in Egypt:

Please note that hotel ratings in Egypt may differ from those in the USA or Europe. Therefore, we always recommend our Luxury or Luxury Superior hotel options in Egypt. Some 5-star hotels in Egypt may feel more like 3- or 4-star properties. We do not recommend 3- or 4-star hotels, as we have received many complaints from our customers about them.

Top-Class Hotels:

To ensure that you enjoy high-quality accommodation throughout your journey, we have prepared a list of luxury and luxury superior hotels for customers who are accustomed to staying in 5-star hotels in Western countries. If you expect the standard of a 4- or 5-star hotel in the USA, EU, UK, or similar destinations, we recommend choosing only our Luxury or Luxury Superior options during your stay in Egypt.

Visa Service:

Avoid queues upon arrival and save time and effort with complicated procedures. Our representative will prepare your visa 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.

Overnight 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 may smell unpleasant. 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 would have to curl up.”

If you do not enjoy traveling by overnight train, we recommend taking a flight instead. Enjoy additional comfortable nights in a 5-star hotel. We recommend upgrading 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. Please contact us for prices.

Travel Insurance – By AIG:

Protect your trip and enjoy greater peace of mind with the AIG Travel Guard 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 just $50 more per person, you can enjoy the premium facilities and amenities of Business Class, including extra legroom, spacious seats, delicious meals, and high-quality entertainment.

Domestic Flights:

The tour programs provide estimated domestic flight prices and approximate departure times. During peak season and for last-minute bookings, some flight 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 may include a connection through Cairo Airport.

Payment Policy:

We accept all secure payment methods: Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfer.

Tours and Prices:

The tour prices are quoted in USD, but you can also pay in euros or British pounds. The displayed prices are per person and are updated regularly to ensure you receive the best available price. Our tours may sometimes operate as semi-private or shared small-group tours. A fully private VIP tour can be arranged upon request.

Request a VIP TOUR WITH DR. ZAHI HAWASS, THE LEGENDARY ARCHAEOLOGIST:

With Ramasside, you can visit the Great Pyramids with the world's most famous archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass.

The VIP tour with Dr. Zahi offers private access to the entire Giza Pyramids complex. You will stand between the paws of the Great Sphinx and enjoy exclusive access to areas closed to the general public!

Dr. Zahi Hawass says: “No one can visit Egypt this way. Except you, when you visit me.” For further details, simply send us an inquiry, and we will provide you with all the information.
