Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between budget, deluxe and luxury?

All three packages visit the same sites with the same private guide. The difference is cabin size, dining style and ship facilities. Budget is ideal for first-time visitors and families. Deluxe is our most popular — excellent quality at a fair price. Luxury is for travelers who want the finest ship, suite cabins and butler service.

Is 7 days enough to see Cairo and the Nile?

Yes. 7 days covers all the essential highlights — Pyramids, GEM, Karnak, Valley of the Kings and 4 Nile temples. For more depth, our 10-day Grand Tour adds Abu Simbel and a hot air balloon over Luxor.

What is the Grand Egyptian Museum?

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) opened in 2024 and is the world's largest archaeological museum. It houses over 100,000 ancient artifacts including the complete treasures of Tutankhamun — his golden mask, throne, chariots and 5,000 objects that were previously split across multiple Cairo museums. A visit takes 3–4 hours and is included in every package.
