Which Small Group Egypt Tours Fit Your Trip?
Choose by number of days first, then by whether you want a Nile cruise. The packages differ in route and in how you travel between cities:

- 5 days, Cairo and Alexandria: the 5 days Cairo and Alexandria group tour spends 4 nights in Cairo and adds a day trip to Alexandria.
- 8 days, overland on a budget: the 8 days budget small group tour in Egypt links Giza, Luxor, Hurghada and Cairo by VIP night train and bus.
- 11 days, Nile cruise and Red Sea: the 11 days group tour with Nile cruise flies to Hurghada for 2 nights on the Red Sea, drives to Luxor, then adds a Nile cruise to Aswan with an Abu Simbel excursion.
- 14 days, Cairo, Red Sea and Nile: the 14 days small group tour with Nile cruise covers the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, Hurghada, Luxor, Abu Simbel and Islamic Cairo, with 4 nights on a Nile cruise and a day trip to Alexandria.
What Is Included in a Small Group Tour?
Every package includes hotel nights, an Egyptologist guide and entrance fees to the sites on its itinerary. Beyond that, the details vary by package:
- Getting around: the 11 days and 14 days packages include domestic flights, the 8 days package uses a VIP night train and bus, and the 4 days and 5 days packages stay in and around Cairo.
- Meals: these differ from package to package, so check the itinerary of the package you choose to see which meals are covered.
- Optional activities: on the 14 days package, a hot air balloon ride in Luxor and diving in Hurghada cost extra.
Small Group Tour or Private Tour: Which Is Better?
The table sets both tour types side by side.
| Tour type | Programme and cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small group | Set itinerary, lower cost | Solo travellers and budget-conscious travellers |
| Private | Your dates and pace, higher cost | Travellers who want full flexibility |
Choose a small group tour for company and a fixed plan, and a private tour when your dates, pace or stops matter more. If the programme or dates do not suit, see private Egypt tour packages with your own guide, or ask us to build a route from scratch.
Is a Small Group Tour Good for Solo Travellers?
Yes. Solo travellers get company and a fixed plan, because the excursions are shared with fellow travellers and the Egyptologist guide stays with the group. You typically have a private hotel room, and the price table on the 4, 5, 11 and 14 days packages shows the single room rate.
