Egypt Tours in July 2026

Charlie and his team were great, really couldn't fault them - despite me being a very difficult customer at times! 😂 I took the suggested itinerary and added some logistical nightmares with travel and very restrictive timings, and all with very little time to plan. They showed great patience, a willingness to listen and help get the trip that I wanted. Did everythingo go 100% smoothly? No, but then in my experience these things rarely do, especially in a country like Egypt. That's exactly when you need someone like Charlie, sorting issues out and getting things back on track as quickly as possible. I wouldn't hestitate use them again, or recommend them to a friend.

Under the hot and dry conditions we were looked after and given exceptional service by all the staff and local support persons. Thank you to Abu,Mohammed and Samuel we really appreciated your help and attention to detail. Joe and Carmela

Couldn’t recommend it enough! Our trip leader made the trip for us. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Egypt’s history and did everything in his power to ensure we felt safe and comfortable. If you’re thinking about going…do it!

Booking this tour through CharlieTheTraveler was easy and well worth the price. I felt great on this trip. I was treated like a very important person. The overall tour was very personalized and unique.

What can I say...this tour was amazing. Never thought I'd see the sights I saw on this trip, never thought any of this would be possible in my lifetime. Egypt seemed too far, too exotic, too expensive. As soon as I saw the listing for this tour, it suddenly seemed like it might be possible. We had reservations about going for sure. We have kids, 10 and 13. There's a war in Israel. It's summer in a very hot part of the world. Do we need Yellow Fever vaccines? Will the food make us sick? Americans kept telling us it would be too dangerous to go. None of that turned out to be a problem. Egypt was very very safe. There are police and military personnel on the streets and at cultural sites. I saw no crime, no people sleeping on the streets. No people panhandling. Going to ATMs to get cash was very safe and easy. We went everywhere from big tourist sites to small neighborhoods. Food was great and we never got sick. We didn't drink the tap water, but bottled water and soft drinks are everywhere. It was hot, but air conditioning, pools, and headscarves manage this. I'll say this again, because I have heard a lot about this: Egypt is safe. It's kind. It's welcoming. People are excited that you're visiting from America. The food is great, and safe. The hotels were amazing: Steigenberger in Giza is clean, beautiful, has a nice restaurant with free breakfast, and has a view of the pyramids, which is pretty wild. Movenpick in Aswan is spectacular, taking up a large portion of an island in the middle of the Nile, with pools and sustainable farms on-site. The Jaz cruise up the Nile was really nice, with good food and comfortable quarters. The Continental hotel in Hurghada was seriously ridiculously lavish, with a private beach on the Red Sea, giant pool, a dozen restaurants, and a shopping corridor. And the Ramses Hilton in Cairo is clean, elegant, and right in the middle of the action of downtown Cairo. We saw a million places from ancient Egypt I never thought we'd see. I can't overstate how incredible it is to stand in front of the Sphinx, the pyramids of Giza, Luxor temple, Kom Ombo, and especially the incredible monuments at Abu Simbel...this is an optional extra tour, and a bit expensive, as it's a whole day trip, but my goodness, it's worth the long drive. Incredible. Overall, this trip had probably the most OMG moments I've had on a trip. And I've been to some pretty spectacular places, including India, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Peru (Machu Picchu), the UK, and more. Please trust me and take the trip. Ignore the warnings. It's so worth it.

Phenomenal tour. Covered everything. Just enough rest during the day and naps for it to also feel like a relaxing vacation, with still plenty to see! Our tour guide Alber was incredible. We were extremely lucky to have him!
