Important Notes About the 8-Day Luxury Package in Cairo, Alexandria & Nile Cruise

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- or 4-star hotels, as we have received many complaints from our customers about them.

Top-Class Hotels:

To ensure you enjoy high-quality accommodation throughout your trip, we have prepared a list of Luxury and Luxury Superior hotels for clients who normally stay in Western 5-star hotels. 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, save time, and skip 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 arrange a visa-on-arrival service for you. You do not need to apply in advance at the embassy.

Cruise Schedule & Sailing Times:

Sometimes, due to sailing conditions on the River Nile, cruise itineraries, schedules, and sailing times may be updated. We assure you that you will visit all the sites included in your itinerary, although the order of visits may change.

Night Train Travel NOT RECOMMENDED:

We do not recommend night train travel, as you should expect a 15- to 18-hour journey on a very noisy train. The toilets are not well maintained and may smell unpleasant. The food is generally not good, and the beds are only 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 night 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. Please contact us for prices.

Travel Insurance – AIG:

Protect your trip and enjoy greater peace of mind with the AIG Travel Guard travel insurance program.

• One week: $25 per person

Domestic Flights:

The itineraries show the average prices of domestic flights and approximate flight times. During peak seasons 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, including Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfer.

Sightseeing & Prices:

The tour prices are quoted in USD, but you can also pay in Euros or British Pounds. The listed prices are per person and are regularly updated to ensure you receive the best possible price.

The VIP tour with Dr. Zahi includes private access to the entire Giza Pyramid Complex. You will stand between the paws of the Great Sphinx and enjoy exclusive access to areas that are normally closed to the 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.
