All FAQ about Egypt
Yes, this tour is private for your group only, whether that's a couple, a family, or a small group of friends. The vehicle, guide, and schedule are yours; no other travelers join your itinerary.
A guide isn't legally required, but the tombs have no on-site signage explaining what you're looking at, and ticket rules limit which tombs you can enter without paying extra per tomb. An Egyptologist guide tells you which tombs are worth the extra ticket for your specific interests and handles those logistics on the spot.
Airport meet-and-greet, all transfers by private air-conditioned vehicle, domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor, hotel accommodation with breakfast, an English-speaking licensed Egyptologist guide, entry fees for all listed sites, and guest support throughout your stay. International flights, your Egypt entry visa, tipping, and personal expenses are not included.
The fastest option is a domestic flight, around 1 hour, and it's what this tour uses. An overnight train is also available and takes roughly 9–10 hours, which some travelers choose for the experience rather than the time saved.
Five days is enough to see the essential sites in both cities without rushing — two full days in Cairo for the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum, and two full days in Luxor for Karnak, Luxor Temple, and the West Bank tombs and temples. Add a day or two if you also want Aswan or a hot air balloon morning with no other plans around it.
