Egypt Day Trips is the private-touring arm of Minova Global Tours, a Cairo-based operator licensed by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism since 2007 (License No. 1538) and an official IATA member. We don't run a fleet of tour buses or sell seats on group coaches — every trip is planned and guided by a small, Cairo-based team of certified Egyptologists who grew up around the sites they explain.

That local-first approach shapes every itinerary. A Cairo day tour might start at the Pyramids of Giza before the coach groups arrive, then move to the Egyptian Museum with a guide who can explain why a particular tomb matters, not just when it was built. A Nile cruise is booked on vessels we've personally vetted for cabin quality and service, not the cheapest berth available that week.

In Luxor, our guides walk clients through Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings with the kind of detail that only comes from years on-site — which tombs are worth the extra ticket, which times of day avoid the heat and the crowds. Multi-day itineraries connecting Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan are built around UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and Abu Simbel, with pacing designed for how people actually travel, not how many stops fit on a page.

We work with travelers from the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, and Asia, and every trip is quoted and confirmed before a single dollar changes hands — no bait-and-switch package upgrades once you land. Whether you're after a tailor-made day trip from your hotel, a short Egypt family tour, or a full multi-city vacation package, the itinerary is built around your dates and your pace, not a fixed departure schedule.
