Made for you
Tell us your pace, hotels, and must-sees — a specialist designs the rest.
Luxury here is not more attractions — it is better hours, better rooms, and a guide who has the keys to the story. You wake to the Pyramids from a garden terrace, dine in palaces that still feel like palaces, and sail the Nile in a suite that faces the water, not a corridor.

Arrive to a garden hotel facing the plateau or the Nile. No monuments tonight — only arrival done well.
Enter the plateau before the heat and the coaches. Optional interior of a pyramid if you wish; we never insist.
A senior guide in the museum, lunch somewhere with a tablecloth, and Islamic Cairo only if you still want stone.
Fly south to a legendary terrace. Karnak in the late afternoon when the hypostyle hall empties.
Tombs chosen for quality, not quantity. Hatshepsut with time to stand on the terraces.
A river-facing suite, not a corridor cabin. The first evening is the Nile itself.
Two temples, private guiding, and long stretches of water in between.
Philae by boat, then a terrace that still feels like 1899 if you want it.
Optional Abu Simbel by air for those who want the full Ramesses; others keep the morning for the river and fly north.

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.

Senior guiding, zero fuss
“Every transfer vanished. The Egyptologist was the finest we have had in twenty years of travel.”
Good to know
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.
Trusted delivery
We work with licensed local teams and carefully chosen Nile vessels — so every detail holds.
From airport welcome to final farewell, our Egyptian partners handle transfers, guides, and timing with quiet precision.
