The regions
A great Egypt trip depends on timing and expert guides. We plan early entries to avoid the crowds, choose the Nile cruise or private dahabiya that suits you, and arrange the domestic flights and Egyptologist guides throughout.
Islamic Cairo’s mosques and bazaars, Coptic Cairo and the treasures of Tutankhamun at the new Grand Egyptian Museum.
The Great Pyramid, the Sphinx and the desert plateau, best seen early in the morning with a private Egyptologist.
Karnak and Luxor Temple on the east bank, and the Valley of the Kings across the river, with hot-air balloon flights at sunrise.
A Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, felucca sails at sunset and the island temple of Philae.
The colossal temples of Ramses II near the Sudanese border, reached by a short flight or road journey from Aswan.
Five thousand years of history along a single river.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
Karnak, Luxor, Edfu and the Valley of the Kings, with private Egyptologists who bring the history to life.
Hieroglyphs, museums and archaeological sites, explained by guides with deep knowledge of ancient Egypt.
Coral reefs and beach resorts in Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El-Sheikh, a good way to end a busy itinerary.
Camel rides at Giza, the White Desert and the oases of the Western Desert for travelers who want more adventure.

Timing
October to April is the best time to visit Egypt, when temperatures are comfortable for sightseeing. Summer is very hot in Luxor and Aswan, so summer trips focus on early mornings and the Red Sea.
Warm, pleasant days for temples and cruising, before the summer heat arrives.
Intense heat in the south, best for early touring and Red Sea resorts.
Temperatures ease and the main season for Nile cruises begins.
The most comfortable weather and the most popular time to visit.
Questions
October to April is best, with comfortable temperatures for sightseeing. December and January are the busiest months, so we plan early entries to the main sites.
U.S. citizens need a visa, which can usually be obtained online before travel or on arrival. Entry rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
Eight to ten days allows time for Cairo and Giza, a three or four night Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, and Abu Simbel.
A cruise ship offers more facilities, while a dahabiya is a smaller sailing boat with only a few cabins and a slower, more personal pace. We help you choose based on your style of travel.
Nonstop flights from New York to Cairo take about eleven hours. We arrange the domestic flights to Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel.
Yes. The Grand Egyptian Museum near the pyramids displays the Tutankhamun collection, and we arrange timed tickets and a private guide.
