Tailor-Made Egypt Vacations

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should I plan a trip that combines several regions of Egypt?

  The easiest way to combine regions in Egypt is to follow the Nile corridor and use short domestic flights to reduce long road journeys. Most travellers begin in Cairo for history and museums, continue to Luxor and Aswan with a Nile cruise or private transfers, then finish with downtime on the Red Sea. This creates one continuous route with minimal backtracking.

• Which regions combine best for a classic first time Egypt itinerary?

  The most seamless first time route is Cairo and Giza, Luxor, Aswan, plus a Red Sea stay. It balances the Pyramids and museums with temples along the Nile, then adds a relaxed beach finale. It works well with a mix of domestic flights and a Nile cruise.

• How do Cairo and Giza pair with nearby places?

  Cairo and Giza pair beautifully with day trips to Saqqara and Memphis for ancient sites beyond the Pyramids, and with Alexandria for a Mediterranean contrast. For a more adventurous extension, Siwa Oasis is a standout addition when time allows.

• What is the best way to combine Luxor and Aswan?

  Luxor and Aswan are best combined via a Nile cruise or a private overland route that stops at highlights such as Edfu and Kom Ombo. This is the most atmospheric part of Egypt, linking major temples with elegant river travel.

• How can I include Abu Simbel in my itinerary?

  Abu Simbel is usually added from Aswan as an early morning excursion by flight or road. It fits naturally after Aswan, either before returning to Cairo or before continuing to the Red Sea.

• Which Red Sea areas combine best with the Nile and Cairo?

  The Red Sea is a perfect finale after the Nile. Hurghada and El Gouna combine well with Luxor due to relatively direct transfers, while Marsa Alam works well after Aswan if you prefer quieter resorts. Sharm El Sheikh is also possible, usually with a flight connection.

• Do I need domestic flights in Egypt?

  Not always, but flights can save significant time. Common flight hops include Cairo to Luxor, Aswan to Cairo, and links to the Red Sea. Many travellers combine a flight into Upper Egypt with a Nile cruise, then return by flight, keeping the journey comfortable and efficient.

• How much time should I allow for a multi region Egypt trip?
  • 1 week: Cairo and Giza plus Luxor.
  • 10 to 14 days: Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, plus a Red Sea stay.
  • 2 weeks or more: Add Alexandria, Siwa Oasis, or the White Desert for a deeper experience.
• When is the best time to visit Egypt?

  The best months are typically October to April for comfortable sightseeing temperatures. December and January are popular and can be busier. Summer can still work for the Red Sea, but Upper Egypt is very hot, so careful pacing and early starts are essential.

• Can I extend my Egypt trip into neighbouring countries?

  Yes. Many travellers add Jordan for Petra, or combine Egypt with a stop in the Gulf such as the UAE, using short flights. Extensions work best when placed after Cairo or after the Nile portion of the trip, to keep the routing smooth.
