Tour Overview

No two travelers are the same, so no two itineraries should be either. Our private tours are built entirely around you — the destinations you want to see, the pace you want to travel at, and the level of comfort you're looking for. Whether it's a focused 3-day Cairo highlights trip, a full Nile Valley journey through Luxor and Aswan, or a two-week grand tour that adds Alexandria and the Red Sea, every detail is designed with your private Egyptologist guide and private vehicle from start to finish.

Below is a sample 6-day itinerary showing how a private tour typically flows — but think of it as a starting point, not a fixed plan. We'll work with you to adjust the sites, swap in optional excursions, choose your hotel category, and set a schedule that fits your interests and travel dates.

Encyclopedic Guide

Cairo – The City of a Thousand Minarets

Cairo, Egypt's sprawling capital, is the natural starting point for almost any private tour. Home to the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, it also boasts the Grand Egyptian Museum, with its vast collection spanning 5,000 years. The city's Islamic heritage is showcased in the Citadel of Saladin and the Mohamed Ali Mosque, while Coptic Cairo reveals early Christian history through the Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue.

Luxor & Aswan – The Nile Valley

Luxor, ancient Thebes, is often called the world's greatest open-air museum, home to the Karnak and Luxor Temples on the East Bank and the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank. Further south, Aswan offers a gentler pace along the Nile, with the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the island sanctuary of Philae Temple — plus optional access to Abu Simbel. Many private tours add this leg to a Cairo-only trip.

Alexandria & the Red Sea – Popular Extensions

Alexandria, Egypt's Mediterranean gem, blends Greco-Roman history with a breezy coastline at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Citadel of Qaitbay. For travelers who want to end their private tour with some downtime, Red Sea resort towns like Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh offer diving, snorkeling, and beach relaxation as an easy add-on to a Cairo or Nile Valley itinerary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a private tour differ from a group tour?
A private tour is exclusively for your party — no joining strangers on a bus. You get your own guide and vehicle, and you can adjust the pace, timing, and sites as you go.
Can I fully customize the itinerary?
Yes — the sample itinerary above is just a starting point. We'll build your trip around the destinations, activities, and hotel category you want, for any length from a few days to two weeks or more.
What is the best time of year to visit Egypt?
October to April offers the mildest temperatures. Summer (May–September) is hotter but still manageable with air-conditioned vehicles and hotels, and early starts help avoid the midday heat.
Do I need a visa for Egypt?
Most nationalities require a tourist visa, obtainable on arrival at Cairo Airport or online via the official e-visa portal. Our representative can assist upon arrival.
Can you arrange a private tour for a special occasion?
Absolutely. We regularly arrange private tours for honeymoons, anniversaries, and family celebrations, with special touches like private dinners or Nile cruises added on request.
