One week, nothing wasted

Seven days in Egypt works when you fly south instead of driving, and when the Nile is a few genuine nights rather than a brochure mention. This itinerary is the edit we give friends who cannot take two weeks.

  • Cairo icons without a third leftover afternoon of traffic
  • Luxor West and East Bank with a private Egyptologist
  • Nile sailing that is real nights onboard, not a day-flag
  • Internal flights included so the week is sites, not roads

Good to know

October to April is the most comfortable for temples and Nile sailing. Summer is quieter and priced more gently; we start earlier and rest at midday.

Most days are gentle walking on uneven stone. We can reduce steps, add vehicle support, and skip climbs such as inside a pyramid.

Good to know

Questions, answered — Seven Perfect Days: Cairo, Luxor & the Nile

No. Guiding and vehicles are private for your party. Nile steamers are shared vessels with private guiding ashore unless you charter a dahabiya.

A deposit confirms hotels and cabins. The balance is due before travel. Cancellation windows depend on season and vessel — we put the exact terms on your quote.

Yes, when the itinerary needs them (typically Cairo–Luxor / Aswan–Cairo). They are listed as included or quoted as an option, never hidden.

Yes. We note dietary needs and ages when you request a quote so hotels, cruise kitchens, and the day’s walking load are honest.
