Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tour be done as a day trip from the airport? add

While the core sites can be visited in a single long day, we recommend the 2-night stay included in this package so you can explore at a relaxed pace without rushing back for a flight.

Is entry inside the Great Pyramid included? add

The Great Pyramid exterior, Sphinx, and Solar Boat Museum are included; entry inside the pyramid chambers requires an additional ticket purchased on-site, which your guide can arrange.

Do I need a visa to visit Egypt? add

Most nationalities can obtain an e-Visa online before travel or a visa on arrival at major airports. Our concierge team will confirm the exact requirements for your passport when you book.

What is the best time of year to visit Egypt? add

The cooler months from October to April are the most comfortable for sightseeing, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. Summer (June-August) is hotter but ideal for Red Sea beach trips.

What should I pack for my trip? add

Lightweight, breathable clothing, a hat and sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, and a light layer for cooler evenings. If your itinerary includes mosques or religious sites, pack something that covers your shoulders and knees.
