Egypt Tour Packages

Where the difficulty actually lies

Egypt is a long country and the cruise timing is fixed. The problems travellers hit are almost always joins, not components:

• The domestic flight. Cairo to Luxor or Aswan has limited daily departures, and cruise embarkation will not wait. A missed connection can cost a whole night of the sailing.
• Which direction the ship sails. Booking Cairo, then a cruise, then a Red Sea hotel only works if the cruise ends at the right city. Aswan and Luxor are 220km apart.
• Abu Simbel. It runs as a dawn convoy or a short flight from Aswan, and it has to be slotted around the cruise schedule rather than the other way round.
• Arrival and departure days. Most international flights land in Cairo late at night, which quietly removes a day from an itinerary planned on paper.

What to check in any package quote

Ask which internal flights are included and in which class, whether hotel nights are on bed-and-breakfast or half-board, whether entrance tickets are covered or paid locally, and whether the guide is with you throughout or handed over city by city. Those four answers explain nearly every price gap between two packages that look identical.

If you tell us your arrival date, departure date and which extensions matter to you, we will map the possible sequences and tell you honestly which ones do not fit.
