Small Group Egypt Holidays
Small-group Egypt holidays bridge the gap between a fully private trip and a coach-group package. You travel with 4 to 12 like-minded travellers, one shared Egyptologist guide, one minibus, fixed departure dates. 25–35% cheaper than a private holiday, sociable evenings on the cruise deck, and the security of a set schedule.

Budget8-day Cairo and Nile cruise holiday by sleeper train
Luxor
Over eight days this holiday pairs Cairo’s great monuments with a four-night Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, travelling between the two by overnight sleeper train rather than by air. That keeps the cost down and turns two travel days into nights on the move. In Cairo, an Egyptologist guides you around the Giza Plateau, the Great Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. On the cruise you visit Karnak and Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s temple at Deir el-Bahari, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae and the Aswan High Dam. Standard entrance fees are included; pyramid interiors, premium tombs such as Tutankhamun and Seti I, and extras such as Abu Simbel are available on request. We arrange the hotel, the cruise cabin, the train compartments and every transfer, through trusted local partners.
