I recently experienced an unforgettable Egypt tour that exceeded all my expectations. The journey began with the breathtaking Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx—truly iconic and awe-inspiring wonders of the ancient world. A visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) complemented this perfectly, offering incredible artifacts and a deep dive into Egypt’s rich history.
The Nile cruise was a highlight, with stunning river views, luxurious comfort, and an amazing crew who provided exceptional service at every moment. Every detail was taken care of, making the experience relaxing and memorable. Don’t miss the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel temples — a spectacular sight that is truly worth the visit.
Other gems included a magical hot air balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the Valley of the Kings. The Nubian Village visit was equally enchanting, providing a warm cultural experience with friendly locals and vibrant traditions. This tour offers the perfect blend of history, culture, and adventure, delivered with outstanding service throughout. Highly recommended for anyone eager to explore the wonders of Egypt!
The “second day” the flight is SUPER early and you have to leave the hotel at 4 am.
That was not communicated anywhere and we didn’t arrive at the hotel u til after 11 pm the night before. It made the morning very difficult!
Also, it would be helpful if there was a place by the day noting if women needed to cover shoulders/knees or men knees. When I was packing and googling, it said that at Kom Ombo (and most of the temples) it was recommended to have shoulder and knees covered, but when we got there I was told we didn’t need it. I had a lot more pants packed then I needed and that would have been helpful to know when I actually needed to wear more conservative clothing or having my hair covered.
Overall the itinerary was good. We saw a lot and had a great guide!
We were on the Steinberger cruise ship - I would not recommend that one again. Very limited. We were on Thai ship with another group from Trafalgar that paid less for the tour and we had no extras. We allowed one drink at dinner and one bottle of water.. anything more we had to pay for. They didn’t have coffee/tea available throughout the day for free. It seemed like they were nickel and diming the guests. I have been on other River cruises and unlimited water, beverages at dinner, and feee coffee/tea throughout the day in the lounge was accessible.
Reveal the incredible wonders of Egypt and the lifegiving Nile over 9 days in comfort and style.
Journey from the buzzing heart of Cairo to the breath-taking Pyramids and the Sphinx. Fly to Luxor to save much valuable time. Sail to amazing monuments and temples scattered along the banks of the Nile on a deluxe Nile Cruiser for 4 nights. Savour the local lifestyle on a traditional felucca boat before flying back to Cairo. Sample the authentic cuisine and create memories of a lifetime.
Super tour all around. The sites were simply amazing, the guides all very knowledgeable and lodging was way above what we expected, often 4 or 5 star hotels. Every day was packed with activities that added to the adventure. Would highly recommend the tour and the tour company.
Adventure in premium style from the vibrant streets of Amman to the magical landscape of Wadi Rum and world wonder of Petra.
Float on the Dead Sea before bathing in its healing mud. Flying to Cairo, stand in awe against the Pyramids and roam its chaotic bazaars. Ride to bustling port city of Alexandria and stand beside the ruins of the Great Library of Alexandria. Taking a comfortable flight to Luxor, sail the wonders of the Nile for 5 days on a Nile Cruiser.
Perfectly organised. Loved the early morning departures to ensure no crowds at sights!
Both guides were very knowledgeable and entertaining, they both went out of their way to accommodate all.
Meals were excellent, loved the variety of buffet meals!
My husband and I just returned from this tour of Egypt and Jordan and we absolutely loved it!
This was our second trip with Expat so we knew that we should expect a jam packed itinerary with early rises and a lot of wonderful things to discover.
The Egyptian portion of the trip was amazing and our tour guide Ramez was absolutely the best!
Being an Egyptologist, he certainly knows his stuff and is very knowledgeable and passionate about it. He was also very well organized, a good communicator, patient with everyone, fun and extremely friendly.
We had a small group of 15 wonderful people which made the whole experience even better.
We had opted for the Felucca cruise on the Nile and it was a lot of fun. Crew on the boat were extremely friendly and made everything they could to make the experience enjoyable and memorable. They even through a birthday party (with the help of Ramez) to one of us in the group including a cake, music and dance around a bomb fire. This was so much fun!

From the moment our wheels touched down in Cairo, the adventure was amazing. Cruising on the Nile, riding a camel, admiring the pyramids, enjoying the cuisine......everything was great!!!! Would I return with another group of travelers? YES!!!!
The only thing I would change is that the first day - coming right after most people had taken trans-oceanic flights and still had jet lag - was too demanding (flying to Luxor, touring Karnak before checking into ship). It would have been better to have a lighter Day One to allow for rest and time zone adjustment, and do Karnak on the way back.
The all-women's tour group and the Tour Director were outstanding and hugely enhanced the experience.
Tipping became a constant irritant and would be better if Tour Director handled tips and Insight appropriately raised the package cost, to alleviate that daily chore (ensuring correct currency & denominations, ATM visits, etc.). PS - bring American dollars in small bills.
Overall, a fascinating country, knowledgeable and constantly helpful Tour Director, and a good balance of historic and current experiences. Aswan (and the Cataract Hotel) was a definite highlight, and don't pass on Abu Simbel. It is worth the cost; as is the Aswan boat tour of the Nile (two options worth doing).
This tour was Iconic as It is, I would like to tell you the whole experience.
The transportation was so comfortable and cozy. Everything was so organized and flexible, this package was enough to cover all the wonderful spots and more.
All the tours was more than I imagined.
I am so grateful that I choose your company to have an Iconic trip.
