Yes, absolutely! We know a trip to Cairo isn't complete without a unique souvenir. The itinerary includes a fantastic opportunity for a shopping tour through the famous Khan El Khalili bazaars in Cairo, where you can find everything from spices and jewelry to traditional crafts.

We provide a satisfying lunch each day at a high-quality local restaurant. This is a wonderful opportunity to try authentic Egyptian cuisine! While the standard meal is set, we will certainly do our best to accommodate common dietary restrictions or preferences. Please let us know your needs when you book, and we will make arrangements with the restaurant.

Because we are catching an early domestic flight to Cairo, the pick-up is quite early—typically between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM. This early start ensures you get the maximum amount of time to explore the incredible sights in both Cairo and Luxor, making the most of your 2-day adventure.

Since you'll be spending a lot of time exploring ancient sites, we recommend comfortable walking shoes and light, breathable clothing. Egypt can be very sunny, so bringing a hat, sunglasses, and sun cream is highly advised. While there is no strict dress code at most sites, wearing clothing that covers your shoulders and knees is appreciated out of respect when visiting active religious sites like mosques or specific temples.

Not at all. All the complex logistics are handled for you! The domestic flight tickets (Hurghada/Cairo and Cairo/Luxor) are included, and our private, air-conditioned vehicle service covers all pick-ups and drop-offs—from your hotel in Hurghada to the airport, between sites in Cairo and Luxor, and the final journey back to your hotel in Hurghada. You just need to show up!

The standard entrance fees to the main historical sites in both Cairo and Luxor (including the general entry to the Valley of the Kings and the Egyptian Museum) are included. However, entrance to a few specific special tombs—like that of King Tutankhamun—often requires an extra ticket that is usually paid directly on-site, as these are considered premium, optional experiences.

This is a comprehensive sightseeing tour that involves a moderate amount of walking. We recommend a general level of fitness, as you will be exploring large sites like the Pyramids complex, Karnak Temple, and the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, which involve walking on uneven ground and climbing steps. Breaks are scheduled, and your private guide will move at a comfortable pace for your group.

Yes, your private English-speaking guide is an invaluable local resource! They are there not only for historical context but also to help ensure your overall experience is smooth and enjoyable. They can assist you with local tips, finding the best exchange places, and answering practical questions about the cities you are visiting.

This tour is specifically designed to feel personalized and intimate! While options vary, many of the "Cairo and Luxor from Hurghada" excursions operate as a small group tour, often limiting the size to a maximum of 8 to 15 travelers. This smaller size ensures you have an excellent opportunity to interact closely with your expert Egyptologist guide, move efficiently through the sites, and have a more engaging, personalized experience than with a large coach tour.

Your comfort is a priority! The overnight accommodation is typically provided in a well-rated 4-star or 5-star hotel in either Cairo or Luxor, depending on the itinerary's flow. This ensures you have a restful and comfortable night in a quality room with breakfast included, ready to tackle the next day of adventure refreshed.

It's a great idea to budget for tipping, as it is customary and highly appreciated in Egypt for good service. While all your essential services are included, tipping is typically expected for your main private Egyptologist guide and your dedicated driver at the end of the trip. A modest tip for restaurant service during lunch is also standard and a wonderful way to acknowledge excellent hospitality.
