With years of experience organizing tailored tours, we offer everything from guided historical tours to adventure-filled desert expeditions. Our focus on personalized service, local expertise, and flexible itineraries ensures an unforgettable Egyptian experience.
Which tour is best for Egypt?
The best tour depends on your interests, but our Classic Egypt Tour is highly recommended. This package typically includes must-see destinations like Cairo (the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum), Luxor (the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple), and Aswan (Philae Temple and the Nubian culture). With Egypt Day Trips, you can choose niche tours such as Nile cruises, desert safaris, or Red Sea diving adventures.
How many days is ideal for an Egypt trip?
A 7-10 day trip is ideal to explore Egypt comprehensively. This allows enough time to visit Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Alexandria or enjoy a relaxing Nile cruise. If you’re short on time, a 5-day tour focusing on Cairo and Luxor is a great option, and Egypt Day Trips can customize itineraries to suit your schedule.
Which is the best part of Egypt to go to?
Each region in Egypt offers unique attractions, but Upper Egypt, featuring Luxor and Aswan, is considered the heart of ancient Egyptian history. For beach lovers, the Red Sea Riviera (Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada) offers pristine waters and vibrant marine life. At Egypt Day Trips, we help you choose the best destinations based on your interests, ensuring a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation.
