Hello fellow travelers
I’m planning a trip to Egypt soon and I’d love some help putting together the best holiday package. I know Egypt has so much to offer — ancient history, the Nile, big cities, and desert adventures — but it's a little overwhelming to plan entirely on my own.
Here’s what I’m thinking for my trip:
Also, if anyone has recent experience (last 2‑3 years) or can share sample itineraries or package costs, that would be super helpful.
Thanks in advance

I’m planning a trip to Egypt soon and I’d love some help putting together the best holiday package. I know Egypt has so much to offer — ancient history, the Nile, big cities, and desert adventures — but it's a little overwhelming to plan entirely on my own.
Here’s what I’m thinking for my trip:
- Duration: ~10–12 days
- Interests: Historical sites (pyramids, temples), Nile cruises, desert tours, local markets, and traditional food
- Travel style: Mid-range (not super luxury but comfortable, with good guides)
- Key priorities: Safety, good guides, flexibility in the package (free time + guided tours)
- Which tour companies or travel agents do you recommend for holiday packages in Egypt that cover the sites I mentioned?
- Have you done a Nile cruise? If yes, which section (Luxor–Aswan, or another) was the most memorable?
- For desert tours, what’s better: a 2‑day desert trip or just a day trip? And which desert region (e.g. White Desert, Sinai) is worth it?
- Any tips for budget vs quality trade‑offs in Egypt (hotels, food, transport)?
- Safety advice: Are there any areas to avoid or things to watch out for?
Also, if anyone has recent experience (last 2‑3 years) or can share sample itineraries or package costs, that would be super helpful.
Thanks in advance
