Frequently asked questions

Booking & Planning

4 questions
How do I book a tour or cruise? +
Send an inquiry through any tour page or message us on WhatsApp. A local expert replies within hours with availability and a tailored quote — no prepayment needed to ask.
Can I customize my itinerary? +
Yes. Every trip is private and fully flexible. Add nights, swap sites, change the pace — just tell us what you'd like and we'll rebuild the plan around you.
How far in advance should I book? +
For peak season (October–February) and popular tours like Abu Simbel or hot air balloons, book several weeks ahead. Off-peak, a few days is often enough. There's no prepayment to reserve.
Do you offer group discounts? +
Yes — larger groups and combined multi-tour bookings qualify for better rates. Message us with your group size and we'll quote accordingly.

Payment & Deposits

4 questions
Do I have to pay in full upfront? +
No. A small deposit (typically 25%) confirms your booking, and you settle the balance on arrival in Egypt. There's no pressure to prepay when inquiring.
What payment methods do you accept? +
We accept major credit cards and bank transfers for deposits. The balance can be paid in cash (USD, EUR, GBP or EGP) or by card in Egypt.
Is my deposit refundable? +
Deposits are refundable under our standard cancellation window (usually up to 30 days before arrival). Exact terms are confirmed with your booking.
Are prices per person? +
Yes, all tour and cruise prices are per person and already include our 7% direct discount. Children's rates apply for younger travellers.

Tours & Cruises

4 questions
Are your tours private or shared? +
Most tours are private by default — just your group, guide and vehicle. A few budget excursions are shared, and it's always marked on the tour page.
Is a guide included? +
Yes. All tours include an English-speaking Egyptologist guide. Guides in other languages can be arranged on request.
What's included in a Nile cruise? +
Full-board accommodation, all guided shore excursions, entrance fees and transfers between the cruise and airport or station. Drinks and tips are usually extra.
Can you arrange airport transfers? +
Absolutely. Private air-conditioned transfers are included on our tours and can be booked separately for arrivals and departures.

Travel & Visas

4 questions
Do I need a visa for Egypt? +
Most nationalities need a visa, available as an e-visa online or on arrival at the airport. We can advise based on your nationality — check with your embassy for the latest rules.
What's the best time to visit Egypt? +
October to April offers the most comfortable weather for most travellers. Summer is hot in the south but cheaper and great for the Red Sea. See our full seasonal guide on the blog.
What currency should I bring? +
The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is used locally, but USD, EUR and GBP are widely accepted. Bring some small notes for tips and incidentals.
What should I pack? +
Light breathable clothing, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and comfortable shoes. Add a light jacket for winter evenings, and modest clothing for temples and religious sites.

Safety & Support

4 questions
Is Egypt safe for tourists? +
Yes. The main tourist areas and sites are well-established and secure, with a strong tourism police presence. Our local team monitors conditions and looks after you throughout.
Is it safe for solo and female travellers? +
Many of our guests travel solo, including women. Private tours with a trusted local guide make this comfortable and safe, and female guides can be requested.
What if something goes wrong during my trip? +
A local expert is reachable on WhatsApp before, during and after your trip. If anything changes, we adjust on the spot — that's the advantage of booking with a local team.
Do you have reviews I can check? +
Yes — we have thousands of five-star reviews on Google and Tripadvisor. You'll find a selection at the bottom of this page and across our tour pages.
