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.

Are your tours private or group tours?

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.

Is a dahabiya better than a regular Nile cruise ship?

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.

When is the best time of year to visit?

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.

How do I pay, and is a deposit required?

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.

Can you build a custom itinerary?

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.
