A once-in-a-lifetime experience along the Nile: discover what will happen on August 2, 2027, where to see totality and how to plan your visit.
Read the guide ↗Your Egypt trip cost depends on the route, accommodation, travel dates and whether you travel privately or with a group. A useful budget starts with a clearly defined package, then adds the expenses that package leaves out.
Read the guide ↗For a first visit built around Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and a Nile cruise, October through April is a useful starting window. Our recommendation is to choose your month around the experiences you want and your tolerance for heat, then plan the daily pace to match.
Read the guide ↗Choose eight days for our Cairo, Aswan, Nile cruise and Luxor route. Choose eleven days if you also want Abu Simbel by land, Saqqara, more time in Cairo and two nights in Hurghada. These are eight-day/seven-night and eleven-day/ten-night programs, including arrival and departure days.
Read the guide ↗A Nile cruise combines accommodation with travel between the monuments of Upper Egypt. To choose well, compare the sailing route, nights aboard, cabin, sightseeing arrangements and exclusions. A star rating or an attractive photograph is only part of the decision.
