Egypt tours
All Egypt tours & day trips
Private and small-group experiences with licensed Egyptologist guides — from the Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Abu Simbel and the reefs of the Red Sea.
Egypt City Trip runs private and small-group day tours across nine Egyptian destinations, all led by guides who hold a degree in Egyptology or archaeology and a Ministry of Tourism licence. Every price on this page includes air-conditioned transport, hotel pickup and drop-off, and your guide for the whole day.
Filter by city to see what is reachable in a day from where you are staying, or by category if you already know the kind of day you want — a full day at Giza and Saqqara, a four-hour morning at the pyramids before a flight, a sunrise balloon over Luxor, a reef day in the Red Sea, or a street-food walk through downtown Cairo after dark.
Prices are tiered by group size: two people pay less each than one, and six pay less each than three. The tier that applies to your party is calculated live on the booking card of every tour, so the figure you see is the figure you pay. Where entry fees are included we say so explicitly; where they are not, the gate price is listed on the page. Nothing is added at the end of the day.
Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before the start time on every day tour, and you can reserve now and pay cash to your guide on the day if you prefer not to pay online.
