Notes About the 8-Day Cairo, Alexandria and Nile Cruise Package in Egypt by Air

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 in Egypt. Some 5-star hotels in Egypt may feel more like 3- or 4-star hotels. We do not recommend 3-star 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 trip, we have prepared a list of luxury and luxury-superior hotels for customers who usually stay in 5-star hotels in Western countries. If you expect the standards 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.

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 you will visit all the attractions listed in your itinerary, although the order of visits may change.

Visa Service:

Avoid queues upon arrival, save time, and skip complicated procedures. Our representative can 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 in advance at the embassy.

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 should expect to curl up.”

If you do not enjoy traveling by overnight train, we recommend taking a flight instead. Enjoy additional nights of comfort 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 current prices.

Alexandria Trip:

Note: The Library of Alexandria is closed on all public holidays. An additional ticket is required to enter the reading area.

Travel Insurance – Provided by AIG:

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 itineraries show approximate domestic flight prices and times. During peak seasons and for last-minute bookings, some flight tickets may become significantly more 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, including Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfers.

Tours and Prices:

Tour prices are listed in USD, but you can also pay in euros or British pounds. All listed prices are per person and are updated regularly to ensure you receive the best available price. Our tours may sometimes be arranged as semi-private or shared small-group tours. Upon request, we can organize a fully private VIP tour.

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

With Ramasside, you can visit the Great Pyramids with one of the world's most famous archaeologists, 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 that are closed to the general public!

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