GOOD TO KNOW

Questions travelers ask us before they book

Short, honest answers. If yours isn’t here, a real person in Luxor will reply on WhatsApp.

Still deciding?

Send us your dates and a rough idea of what you’d love to see — we’ll reply with a day-by-day plan and real prices.
Every tour is private: your own guide, your own air-conditioned vehicle and a schedule built around you. We never combine bookings into coach groups.
A dahabiya carries 8–12 guests, sails under wind and stops at islands and villages the big ships skip. A cruise ship has pools, larger cabins and a lower price. Our comparison guide walks through both.
October to April brings mild days for temples and the desert; May to September is hot but quieter and better priced, with early starts and afternoons on deck. The eclipse sailing in August 2027 is the exception worth the heat.
DRAFT — PENDING CONFIRMATION. A small deposit secures your dates; the balance is paid on arrival in Egypt or by card beforehand. All prices are per person in US dollars.
Yes — tailor-made trips are most of what we do. Tell us your dates, interests and pace and we’ll send a day-by-day plan within 24 hours.
