Egypt Cruise Trips

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Egypt - thanks to our lovely tour guide Adel who was the best, and our amazing group gelling so well together. It’s a very well put together trip including all the major cultural attractions that you would want to visit and we learned so much due to Adel’s expertise and knowledge. For British groups I think the addition of the Cataract Hotel would enhance the experience - we loved it there. And possibly the home of Howard Carter which we did during time we added at the end. Thank you Explore! 😊

Ramadan was such a knowledgeable Egyptologist. I could not imagine doing this trip without him. Not for someone with mobility issues. Heat as high as 39 degrees makes it challenging even for the fittest. Early starts to get there before the crowds and heat was a great testament to local knowledge. Valley of the Kings was an experience that I will never forget. If you have the time, try to take advantage of the option of attending Alexandria. I have come home with a piece of Egypt in my heart

The first downfall was not being able to tip prior to the trip. I felt like we were tipping every single day, multiple times a day. I would also recommend that as a traveler you always have small bills on you, as you have to pay to use the restroom - EVEN inside of the museums you have already paid to go into. You have to get a Visa when you enter the country - do not stress! You can easily do this at the airport for $25USD. The trip itself was wonderful. I traveled as a single female and never felt uncomfortable. I enjoyed traveling from the North to South of Egypt. I think that the optional trip to Abu Simbel was nice, but defiantly not worth the money and time spent traveling (by multiple planes). The museums, Nile cruise, home visit were all amazing! Egypt is defiantly a country to see!

This was a bucket list trip for me and it did not disappoint. As a single traveler I always felt safe and secure. All of the Trafalgar team operated flawlessly with all of the transfers, optional experiences, etc. The Nile Cruise was wonderful and the crew and food were awesome. Our tour guide/egyptologist Ramadan was full of knowledge, facts and dates flowed from him. I enjoyed all the museums too. I will treasure this experience and book future trips with Trafalgar.

I had a good time on this trip - it was mostly archeological with knowing almost everything about the past - i had an excellent egyptoligist Ramadan who was extremely knowledgeable and answered everyones questions without hesitating - he was fabulous

An excellent and very well organised tour combining all the aspects one could want for a 'bucket list' trip to Egypt. The activities, both the included and optional, were well paced with time to relax as well as soak up the history. All the staff were fabulous, knowledgeable, and supportive.
