Overview & Highlights
You don’t need to break the bank to experience the wonders of Egypt. This carefully crafted 8-day Egypt budget tour delivers the country’s most iconic experiences — the Giza Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, Islamic Cairo, and a 4-day Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor — at a price that leaves room for adventure.
Begin in Cairo with four nights exploring the Giza Plateau, the Egyptian Museum’s Tutankhamun treasures, the medieval atmosphere of Islamic Cairo, and the colourful Khan El Khalili market. Fly south to Aswan and board your Nile cruise to visit the island Philae Temple and the mighty High Dam. Sailing north, you’ll explore the magnificent temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo, then spend your final day in the ancient city of Luxor — the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the colossal Karnak Temple complex.
Despite the outstanding value, you’ll travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a licensed Egyptologist guide every step of the way. Family and group discounts available.

Trip of a lifetime
From the pyramids at Giza to the temples of Luxor, every day was perfectly organised. Our guide was knowledgeable, warm and made sure we never felt rushed. Highly recommend Egyptian Trips.
Seamless from start to finish
Booking was easy, the driver was always on time, and the hotels were excellent. The Nile cruise was the highlight of our holiday. We will be back for the desert tour next year.
Knowledgeable guides, no hidden costs
Everything was exactly as described. Our Egyptologist brought the history to life and the whole team was responsive on WhatsApp throughout the trip. Five stars well deserved.
Better than we imagined
A truly authentic experience. The food, the people and the sites all exceeded our expectations. Special thanks to the team for handling every detail so we could just enjoy Egypt.
Felt safe and looked after
As two women travelling alone we felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. The itinerary balanced sightseeing with rest perfectly. Cannot recommend them enough.
Outstanding value
Great communication before the trip and flawless execution once we arrived. Abu Simbel at sunrise was unforgettable. Thank you Egyptian Trips for a wonderful week.
