If you are returning to Egypt again and do not want to see the same sites that you have already visited before, please do not be afraid to ask for any changes to be made. Just let us know when making your booking and alternative visits will be suggested to you. Once again, our itineraries are not ‘set in stone’; this is your holiday/vacation, and we will fill any request; if possible!

Because all of our packages are privately arranged, whereas you will get a private tour with a private guide and private transportation, there is NO fixed start or finishing dates; you can do it at your own schedule. If we have to, we will simply alter the itinerary so that it fits with the cruise embarkation, ensuring that no planned visits are missed, just rescheduled somewhere else. This allows you to get the best available flights, which is a huge asset if you travel on a budget. Obviously, this is something that companies that only offer large group visits cannot offer.

All of our packages are private, which means that only those who accompany you will be at your party.
NEVER will you be expected to join in with another group, nor will others be expected to join with you.
