Trip Overview

Egypt rewards travelers who take their time. This itinerary pairs the great monuments of Cairo and Giza with a four-night Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, so the tombs, temples and museums arrive in the order the ancient world built them.

Your Ya’lla ambassador and a licensed Egyptologist accompany you throughout, handling permits, transfers and timing so you reach the major sites ahead of the crowds and linger where it matters.

Touring in Egypt runs at two levels. Standard departures travel as a small shared group with a hand-picked local guide. Distinguished programs are private throughout, with your own guide and vehicle for the whole journey. Both are quoted rather than sold at a fixed price, so the figure reflects your dates, your party size and the hotels you choose.

Published programs include Cairo Stopover (4 nights), Best of Luxor (2 nights), Glory of Egypt (8 nights), Taste of Egypt (9 nights), Jewels of the Nile (10 nights), The Royal Touch of Egypt (10 nights), Crown of Egypt (12 nights) and Magical Egypt (12 nights). If none of them fits, we will build one around your dates. Custom itineraries are what we do.
