Top 6 Days Around Cairo,Giza Pyramids,Luxor , Aswan & Abu Simbel

We had a trip of a lifetime! We had good guides and had a minimum of the hassle we were warned about. We also realized that the tipping culture in Egypt is very different from many places we hv been to : borne out of their economic circumstances. Moreover, our guides shielded us from a lot of the ugliness of the hustling. It made our visit a lot more pleasant. Strongly recommend Latiff and his team! Some tips: 1. Even for our family with adult children, 4 consecutive days of ancient Egypt sites in the Luxor Aswan and Abu Simbel areas is bit much. We would hv prob enjoyed a 1-2 day break to the Red Sea. We were told it’s maybe 3-4 hr drive from Luxor? Something I would hv tried to work in if I had known. 2. If you want to take a nile cruise, a good way might be to fly all the way to Abu simbel and cruise back to Aswan or even Luxor. But you need to budget enough days to do so. Work this out before booking your flights. (We didn’t and we couldn’t do the Nile cruise. )

Did the Cairo bit with a focus on Pyramids at Giza, including visit same day to Saqqara and New National Museum. All followed by domestic flights for a deluxe 4 night cruise from Luzor to Aswan (recommend Movenpick Royal Lily - great staff) and a day return flight visit to Abu Simbel. All with Deluxe Tours Egypt, to cover a 7 day period in December and all tours conducted on a private basis as per my request. Simply outstanding ! I needed to add in some family members at the last minute for the Cairo bit - no problem. Flights back to Cairo from Aswan amended after a short discussion - again without a problem and this made the tour much more flexible to our needs. Tour guides were by and large, very good. Standouts being the energetic but highly observant guide in Cairo for that long day trip and the slightly eccentric but very knowledgeable Dr Mohammed in Luxor. Overall very glad to have met and been led by such fine individuals. Felt safe and fed about the right level of information, without too much excessive focus. Drivers also sensible and safe. Mr Latif is the main man at Deluxe and he is brilliant. He personally did all the transfers in Cairo, was fun to talk to and receptive to ideas. Helpful and remained very contactable via WhatsApp throughout the tour. So we never felt alone or abandoned once money paid. I sought quotations from three tour companies and Deluxe was the best all around. Very glad we used them. 5*****. I would highly recommend them.

It was great week spended in Egypt with out any hassle. Cairo, Giza , Aswan , Luxor , Abu simbel all of the places were amazing and has its own significance. You guys should try this one because they provided us best possible service.
