★★★★★
Our experience with Nile Empire was excellent from start to finish. Soliman helped us redesign our Egypt trip on very short notice and customized everything around our schedule, including internal flights, hotels, and a Nile cruise. We loved that all sightseeing tours were private, giving us flexibility throughout the trip. The guides, drivers, and overall organization were outstanding, and we never had to worry about anything during our stay in Egypt. The Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor was one of the highlights of our trip, and the additional tours to Abu Simbel, Dendera, and the Nubian Village made the experience even more special. We highly recommend Nile Empire for anyone looking for a reliable and professionally organized Egypt tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a package budget?
Savings come from the hotel category and the choice of sleeper trains, daytime trains, scheduled coaches or domestic flights. Sightseeing remains private. Each package lists its accommodation, transport and entrance-fee basis so you can compare the total trip.
What is the overnight sleeper train like?
A scheduled overnight service with private single and twin cabins, dinner and breakfast served aboard, and shared toilets in the carriage: practical and comfortable rather than luxurious. The 10-day budget itinerary uses it from Cairo to Aswan, and the 7-day sleeper-train itinerary uses it from Cairo to Luxor and from Aswan back to Cairo. The daytime Aswan to Luxor train on the 10-day trip is a separate seated journey.
What standard of hotel do budget packages use?
The 10-day budget itinerary uses comfortable B&B hotels, the eight-day budget itinerary uses three-star hotels, and the seven-day sleeper-train itinerary uses four-star hotels. The hotel basis is listed on each package page.
