Please note that hotel star ratings in Egypt do not align with those in the USA or Europe. Therefore, we always recommend our Luxury or Luxury Superior hotel options: some 5-star hotels in Egypt feel more like 3- or 4-star properties. Naturally, 3-star and 4-star hotels are not recommended at all, as we frequently receive complaints about them from our clients.
To ensure you enjoy high-quality accommodation during your trip, we have curated a selection of Luxury and Luxury Superior hotels for travelers accustomed to Western 5-star standards.
Avoid queues upon arrival, save time, and bypass complicated procedures. Our representative will prepare your visa in advance—simply send us a copy of your passport.
Due to changing sailing conditions on the Nile, itineraries, timetables, and cruising times can occasionally be updated. We assure you that our clients will experience everything listed on their itineraries, though potentially in a different order.
We do not recommend the overnight train, as passengers face 15 to 18 hours in a very noisy carriage. Restrooms are sub-par and unpleasant, the food is generally poor, and the beds offer only moderate comfort.
If you prefer not to take the overnight train, we strongly recommend booking our domestic flight option to enjoy extra nights of comfort in a 5-star hotel. The additional supplement for a one-way flight and one night in a 5-star hotel is $150 per person (supplements apply for Christmas, New Year, and Easter—contact us for pricing).
