A 4-installment payment plan is available, often with 0 percent interest to those with at least decent credit. Ask us for details. Our luxury-oriented and itinerary-packed “Egypt in 11 Days” tour is available for $2,607 USD per person. This price includes all transportation, except flights. It also includes English-speaking tour guides, food, all activities and all entry fees. Also included are 3 nights of lodging on a cruise ship. If you would like lodging included for the remaining 8 nights on this tour, then the combined (transportation, tour guides, food, activities, entry fees and lodging) total would be $3,307 USD per person. This price is based on 2 per room and is offered to those booking at least 6 weeks in advance. Note that there is a $30 USD fee if paying by bank transfer or a 4.6 percent surcharge for payments made by credit card. We accept both forms of payment. We do not accept checks. Moving forward, to better understand your specific circumstances and wishes, and for us to accurately quote you, please tell us:
1. How many persons in your party-including yourself-would be joining this tour? Note that there is a 2-person minimum for your party size, as this is a private tour.
2. What is your age and the age of your travel companion(s), if applicable? Travel insurance is required for this tour and we cannot quote you without knowing your age.
3. Would you be sharing the room with others in your group (e.g. a spouse, relative or friend) or do you want the room exclusive to you?
4. Where would you be flying from (and back to)?
5. On what date would you like to leave home?
6. Would you like to extend the duration of this tour so you have some free days just to relax? If you have 1 extra day, then we recommend Luxor. If you have 2, then we recommend 1 in Luxor and 1 in Sharm El-Sheikh.
7. Do you have a preference between male and female tour guides? We can provide them everywhere on our multi-day tour except for in the resort towns of Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh.
8. On a side note, would you like to add a visit to a temple complex called Abydos? It would be included when relocating from Luxor to Hurghada. We do not automatically include Dendera because it creates a significant detour, approximately 4 hours. Would you like to include it?
9. Also, would you like to add another day to this standard 11-day tour so you can visit-as a daytrip from Sharm El-Sheikh-an Eastern Orthodox monastery called Saint Catherine’s? The drive each way takes around 3 hours.
10 .Not least, whereas getting from Cairo to the White Desert National Park is somewhat challenging and from Cairo to Siwa Oasis feels like ‘mission impossible’, getting from Cairo to the city of Alexandria is no big deal. Would you like to add another day to this standard 11-day tour so you can visit-as a daytrip from Cairo-Alexandria? The drive each way takes around 3 hours. The highlights are (A) a once-vast library and now a museum called the Library of Alexandria, (B) the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa and (C) a Roman triumphal column called Pompey's Pillar. Specifically between April and October, also popular is (D) scuba diving to see ruins in the Mediterranean Sea.
11. Lastly, would you like to upgrade the Nile cruise from Concerto or Nile Premium to Farah? The price difference is significant, as is the quality of the boat and cabins. To go on Farah, you would need to arrive in the city of Aswan anytime specifically on a Thursday.
