All-Inclusive Egypt Vacation Packages

On every package listed on this page, all-inclusive means: airport transfers on arrival and departure, 4- and 5-star hotel accommodation with daily breakfast, all domestic flights or sleeper-train tickets inside Egypt, a full-board Nile cruise when your itinerary includes one (breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea), all sightseeing entry fees to temples, tombs, pyramids and museums, an English-speaking Egyptologist guide for every site visit, and all ground transport in private air-conditioned vehicles. International flights, tipping, personal drinks and any optional extras (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, entering the Great Pyramid chamber) are quoted separately so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Yes — and genuinely more so than it was five years ago. The Grand Egyptian Museum opened in 2025 next to the Giza Pyramids and reshuffled the Cairo day. Nile cruise standards are higher across the board, several new luxury Red Sea resorts have opened in El Gouna and Soma Bay, and internal flights between Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Hurghada run reliably every day. All of that makes a single all-inclusive booking cover more ground more comfortably than before. What Egypt does better than most destinations is combine the ancient — pyramids, tombs, temples older than almost anything else still standing — with long beach days on one of the clearest reef systems in the world, inside one trip.

Our 13 packages on this page start from $1,205 per person (8 days Cairo + cruise by sleeper train) and go up to $2,100 (14 days Cairo, Alexandria, cruise, Sharm El Sheikh). Most travellers land between $1,300 and $1,700 per person for 8–11 days. Those prices are per-person based on two sharing, include everything described in the first FAQ, and assume 4-star hotels and a 5-star Nile cruise. For a 5-star-throughout upgrade or a luxury Nile cruise vessel (Oberoi, Sanctuary, Movenpick SB), add roughly 25–40%. For solo travel, expect a single-supplement of 30–55% depending on season and hotel.

October through April is the main Egypt travel season — comfortable temperatures in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan (20–28°C / 68–82°F), warm enough water in the Red Sea, and clear skies for pyramid photography. November and March are our own favourite months because shoulder-season pricing kicks in but the weather is still reliable. December and early January are the busiest weeks (Christmas / New Year) and carry peak pricing, so book 4–6 months ahead. June, July and August are hot (Luxor and Aswan routinely hit 40°C / 104°F by midday) but the Red Sea stays pleasant and package prices drop by 15–25%, which is why summer is the cheapest time to visit Egypt.

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is included on every package on this page — it is now the default Cairo museum day, and entry fees, guiding and transport are built into your package price. Abu Simbel is included on two packages on this hub (the 8-day Cairo + Cruise with Abu Simbel and the 10-day Cairo + Alexandria + Cruise with Abu Simbel). On any other package here, Abu Simbel can be added as a one-day optional excursion from Aswan — either by domestic flight (faster, about $380 per person) or by road (cheaper, earlier start, about $180 per person). Let us know on the booking form and we will quote it with the package.

For October–April (high season) book at least 3 months ahead — Nile cruise cabins, Giza-view hotel rooms and Abu Simbel flights all sell out. For December 24 through January 5 and Easter week, book 6 months out. For May–September (shoulder / summer) 4–6 weeks is usually enough. We can often still assemble a trip 10–14 days out, but you will have less choice of cruise vessel and less negotiating room on hotel categories. The earlier you book, the more upgrades we can include at no extra cost.

Yes. Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, the Nile valley and the Red Sea resorts (Hurghada, El Gouna, Sharm El Sheikh, Marsa Alam) are actively welcoming tourists in 2026 and have been for several years. Major tourist sites have a dedicated tourism and antiquities police presence. Your Egypt Planners guide travels with you the entire day, and all transfers are in private, tracked vehicles. We do not operate in any area currently listed on the US, UK or Australian government advisories — you can check those lists yourself before booking. Women travel solo on our packages regularly, and families with kids as young as five are common.

Included: all accommodation, all internal Egypt transport (flights, sleeper train, private car, cruise), all meals listed in the itinerary, all sightseeing entry fees, all guiding by a qualified Egyptologist, airport meet-and-assist. Not included: international flights to and from Egypt, your Egypt e-visa (US/UK/AU/CA travellers can apply online in ~72 hours — we help you), optional excursions marked as optional in your itinerary (hot-air balloon over Luxor, sound-and-light shows, scuba-diving gear rental, entering the Great Pyramid chamber), drinks other than water and tea at meals, and tipping for guides, drivers and cruise crew (we provide a suggested amount in your pre-trip pack).

Every package on this page is fully customisable — add days, swap hotels, upgrade to a luxury Nile cruise, add Abu Simbel or the White Desert, push the cruise direction from Aswan-first to Luxor-first, or add an Alexandria or Siwa day. We also build fully bespoke itineraries from scratch. The fastest way is to send Maro a message on WhatsApp with your rough dates, number of travellers and any must-see sites, and he will reply the same day with a custom version of the closest package.

The 8-Day Cairo with Nile Cruise and Abu Simbel (our Best-Seller) is the single most-booked package — it is the sweet spot of length, inclusions and price. A close second is the 9-Day Cairo, Nile Cruise and Hurghada, because it combines the classic historical sites with Red Sea beach time in just under two weeks. For first-time Egypt visitors with only a week, the 7-Day Cairo with Nile Cruise is the lightest valid version of a classic Egypt trip — Cairo plus a 3-night cruise, nothing rushed.
