Key Takeaways
- Private by default: our packages run with your own licensed Egyptologist guide and your own vehicle, with some small-group packages as the exception.
- Check the route: not every package uses domestic flights or includes a Nile cruise, so read the itinerary before you choose.
- Choosing a length: 7 days can reach Abu Simbel, 10 days allows a slower pace and 12 days leaves room for Petra.
Egypt Tour Packages by Length: 5, 7, 10 or 12 Days
The table below compares what each package length covers, from Cairo and Luxor in 5 days to Petra in 12 days. Our guide to how many days you need in Egypt helps you decide between them.
| Length | Main stops or add-on | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 5 days | Cairo and Luxor | Short breaks |
| 7 days | Luxor plus Aswan, Alexandria or Hurghada | Highlights in a week |
| 10 days | Alexandria or Red Sea finish | Relaxed pacing |
| 12 days | Petra in Jordan can be added | 2-country trips |
Pick the shortest length that reaches every place on your list, then narrow the choice by route:
- 7 days: routes run through Abu Simbel, Alexandria or Hurghada, and the Abu Simbel route also stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo. Our 7 days Egypt tour packages show each route.
- 10 days: packages of this length often finish in Alexandria or on the Red Sea. Our 10 days packages with a slower pace let you compare routes.
- 6 and 8 days: we also run a 6 days Cairo, Luxor and Hurghada tour with 2 nights on the Red Sea and no Nile cruise, plus 8 days packages that include Alexandria.
What Is Included in Our Egypt Holiday Packages?
This table shows what a private package covers and what you arrange yourself:
| Included | Arranged separately |
|---|---|
| Hotels | International airfare |
| Air-conditioned transfers | Egypt visa |
| Licensed Egyptologist guide | Tips |
| Airport meet-and-assist | A few meals on land days |
| Entrance fees to itinerary sites | Tombs with their own ticket |
Tombs with their own ticket, such as those in the Valley of the Kings, are bought on site. Optional extras are charged separately and added to your proposal.
Tips are extra, and we send a tipping guide before you arrive. On all-inclusive packages, the price also covers the domestic flights and the Nile cruise that the route uses. You can see routes that use both in our all-inclusive Egypt holiday packages with a Nile cruise.
How Does a Cairo and Nile Cruise Package Work?
A Cairo and Nile cruise package pairs your days in Cairo with a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. Regular Nile cruises do not leave from Cairo, so you fly or take the train to Luxor or Aswan first and sail from there. Cairo days centre on the Giza plateau, where the Grand Egyptian Museum holds the Tutankhamun collection. The Luxor and Aswan days add temples such as Karnak and Philae, plus the Valley of the Kings.
Our Nile cruises between Luxor and Aswan show each cruise on that route.
Private or Small-Group Egypt Packages: Which Is Better?
Private is our default, and you can change a private plan day by day. Small-group packages are the exception. The table compares both tour types:
| Tour type | How it runs | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Private | Own guide, own vehicle | Families and couples |
| Small group | Shared guide and vehicle | Travellers happy to share a guide |
Choose private when you want to set the pace. The alternative is our small-group Egypt packages with a shared guide. The small-group 8 days package between Cairo, Luxor and Hurghada uses a VIP train and bus instead of flights.
Which Egypt Package Suits Families, Honeymooners and Luxury Travellers?
Pick the category that matches who is travelling, or extend a route into Jordan:
- Families: private packages give each family its own guide and vehicle. Our Egypt family tours and vacation packages list the routes.
- Honeymoons: our Egypt honeymoon packages and romantic tours add touches such as a dahabiya sailboat, private candlelit dinners and a beach finish on the Red Sea at Hurghada. A sunrise hot-air balloon ride over Luxor is available at extra cost.
- Luxury: for a higher hotel category and a dahabiya sailboat in place of a cruise ship, see luxury Egypt tours and private Nile cruises.
- Egypt and Jordan: extend an Egypt route into Jordan with Egypt and Jordan tour packages with Petra.
What Changes the Price of an Egypt Tour Package?
These 3 choices move the price of a package:
- Hotel level and nights: a higher hotel level or extra nights raise the total.
- Cruise or dahabiya: you can swap the Nile cruise for a dahabiya sailboat, and we price that route when you enquire.
- Extras and extensions: a hot-air balloon ride over Luxor, a Red Sea finish or a Jordan extension each add to the cost.
Each package shows its own from price, so you can check it before you enquire.
