Egypt Tours from Cairo

An Egypt tour from Cairo here means several days away from the capital; the tours we describe last from two to seven days, with four days the most common length, and most of them head for the desert, where Siwa, Fayoum and the White Desert are among the places they name. We list 5 tours on this page.

Guided tours of two to five days

The guided format comes with hotel pickup and an English-speaking guide, and it runs from two to five days. The five-day version heads for Alexandria and Siwa by air-conditioned minibus. A two-day option travels by bus or minibus with air conditioning.

Private tours of three to seven days

A private tour is booked for your own party alone. A four-day private tour is named for the Fayoum oasis, the White Desert and Bahariya oasis, and it travels by air-conditioned minibus and jeep. The seven-day programme covers Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan, with transfers in an air-conditioned van and meals as set out in its itinerary.

Hotel pickup and airport transfers

Hotel pickup and drop-off appear on most of the tours we describe in Egypt; they save you finding your own way to a departure point. The seven-day private programme goes further, with "All transfers from / to the airport and the hotel", one listing notes.

Siwa, sandboarding and entrance fees

Siwa is the oasis that two of the tours we describe build their route around. "Sandboard the Great Sand Sea and bathe in Bir Wahed's desert hot spring", one highlight notes, on a three-day private safari. Its included entrance fees cover the Oracle of Amun, the Mountain of the Dead, Old Shali and Cleopatra's Spring.
