Egypt Tours and Trips for Seniors

The airport assistance went smoothly, transportation is always ready and available with good drivers. All the sights in the itinerary were visited (although when I booked the trip, gem was included, but not in the final schedule sent out). The guide , raemon, went out of his way to make sure we were all taken cared of. It helps that he explained the important aspects of the sight/ temple in the car instead of standing under the sun, but made sure to point out what was explained once we got there. With him, you only have to ask, whether about history, a place to eat or shop. Thank you, habibi. The places we stayed in were pretty good.

The itinerary was perfect. It was well balanced with free time. You see all the things you want to see and get to explore on your own at the sites following the tour. In-between time is utilized well with relaxing moments and the ability to rest. There are some early mornings, but that wasn’t an issue. Getting up early allows for more time, more sites, less people at the sites, and less heat/sun.

As a member of the Exodus team, I was really excited to experience this Signature trip on my first visit to Egypt, and it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment we landed in Cairo and were whisked through the airport by golf cart, the journey felt special. The itinerary strikes a great balance between iconic highlights and lesser-known gems, which helped us explore while avoiding the crowds. Our guide, Andrew, brought ancient Egypt to life with his knowledge, engaging storytelling and fun anecdotes. Every place we stayed was exceptional, with thoughtful service and staff who were always happy to help. Each day of the trip had carefully chosen moments that took us off the beaten path to see something memorable, and it all felt really special. Once on board the private Dahabiya, the experience stepped up even more. The crew did a fantastic job of making us comfortable as we drifted along the river, whether we were stepping off the boat to explore sites or relaxing on deck with a drink and watching the world go by. It's an unforgettable way to discover Egypt.

The itinerary was very robust, while still offering some 'relaxation time'. The only thing I would have liked to experience that we did not would have been a visit to a Coptic Church. We passed by several churches, but it was just that, a passing by happenstance. I would have liked to learn a little more about that important part of the Egyptian population and its history.

This tour is superb such a high level of hotels and guiding and inclusions! The guide Andrew was brilliant so informative, friendly and engaging. You got to see virtually every temple you have probably heard of and get to see different things in each one that Andrew guides you to see. The timings are great they try to avoid getting you there when all the huge groups will be there. There is so much included with all the food inclusions that the tour price is virtually all you will pay, just allow a budget for drinks(in the old cataract a cocktail is easily £30 mark!) and local craft gifts you want to buy! The pace is full on to start but then you get to the dahabiya and the pace eases down to a lovely relaxing level floating down the nile nipping to the odd temple then in the jacuzzi or sat on deck having a drink watching the world go by, it was brilliant.

This trip is better suited for those with no mobility issues. Because of heat or flight schedules one should be prepared to get up very early, which is worth it in the end.
