We had such an incredible tour with Mohamed. His knowledge at all the sites was invaluable and we learnt so much. If you plan to visit the pyramids you are wasting your time doing so without a tour guide like Mohamed. He and his driver always picked us up on time, he was informative (without overloading us with too much history or assuming any prior knowledge of Ancient Egypt). His local knowledge meant we always had a cold drink of bottled water and had some delicious lunches. Our tour also included a visit to the Citadel and Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo) and they were certainly a must do in your tour with Mohamed. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.

I had the most wonderful experience with this travel company. I wanted to do a solo trip and explore the southern part of the red sea. I wanted it to be an adventure and incorporate diving into it. Ayman from the company listened to all he goals of my trip and helped me with all the logistics. He planned my trip to Marsa alam, marsa shagara, porto ghalib, wadi el gemal, al quseir, ras hankurab, el qulaan tonsee the mangrove trees. Everything went perfectly well. I couldnt be happier.

On my first day in Egypt, I was collected from my hotel and spent an amazing time visiting the pyramids of Giza with Samir and a very knowledgeable specialist guide. It was an awesome experience, the guide (Rad) was informative and friendly. Samir kindly dropped me off afterwards to my hotel in Cairo. Thank you Samir of Mr Egypt Only tours

| Outstanding tour by Mohamed

August 21, 2025

Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex

We had such an incredible tour with Mohamed. His knowledge at all the sites was invaluable and we learnt so much. If you plan to visit the pyramids you are wasting your time doing so without a tour guide like Mohamed. He and his driver always picked us up on time, he was informative (without overloading us with too much history or assuming any prior knowledge of Ancient Egypt). His local knowledge meant we always had a cold drink of bottled water and had some delicious lunches. Our tour also included a visit to the Citadel and Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo) and they were certainly a must do in your tour with Mohamed. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our Egypt tours, tour packages, Nile cruises, private tours, and travel services. Everything you need to plan your perfect trip to Egypt with confidence.

 How many days is the Cairo and Luxury Dahabiya Nile Cruise tour?

The tour is 9 days and 8 nights, combining sightseeing in Cairo with a luxury Dahabiya cruise along the Nile between Luxor and Aswan.

What destinations are included in the tour?

The itinerary includes Cairo, Giza , Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan, before returning to Cairo.

What is a Dahabiya Nile cruise?

A Dahabiya is a traditional-style Nile sailing boat offering a more intimate and peaceful way to experience the river. Unlike large conventional cruise ships, Dahabiyas generally provide a smaller, more private sailing experience.

What attractions are visited in Luxor?

The Luxor portion includes Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut before continuing to Esna to board the Dahabiya.

Are domestic flights included?

Yes. The package includes the applicable domestic flights between Cairo and Upper Egypt as specified in the itinerary. International flights are not included.

Is the tour suitable for families with children?

Yes. The package is marketed as suitable for different age groups and child pricing may be available depending on age and room-sharing arrangements. The published pricing policy lists different rates for children under 12.

What should I pack for the tour?

Comfortable, lightweight clothing, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, personal medications and modest clothing for visits to religious sites are recommended. A light jacket can also be useful for cooler evenings.

Is the Dahabiya suitable for couples and honeymooners?

Yes. The smaller-scale sailing experience, private atmosphere, and slower pace can make a Dahabiya particularly appealing for couples and honeymoon trips.

How far in advance should I book?

Advance booking is recommended, particularly for October–April and holiday periods, because luxury Dahabiya cabins and preferred travel dates can have limited availability.

What makes this tour different from a standard Nile cruise?

The main difference is the Dahabiya sailing experience. Rather than traveling on a large conventional cruise ship, guests experience the Nile aboard a smaller traditional-style vessel, providing a more intimate atmosphere and a slower-paced journey.
