Build a tailor made Egypt trip, designed around you

A tailor made Egypt trip is a private holiday shaped entirely around your dates, your budget and the places you most want to see — instead of a fixed departure you have to squeeze into. You choose the pace, the comfort level and the route, and a specialist builds the itinerary, prices it and looks after every detail from the airport to the ship.

We have planned custom Egypt journeys as a licensed Egyptian operator on the Nile since 2009. Because we charter the ships and run the ground operation ourselves — not through a reseller — we can flex any part of the trip and keep the price honest. Every itinerary travels with a licensed Egyptologist guide, and our travellers rate us a perfect 5.0 on Tripadvisor.

What can you customise?

  • The route — a classic Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise, a longer round trip, or a full Egypt tour with Cairo and the pyramids.
  • The comfort level — from great-value five-star ships to the newest luxury Nile cruises and traditional dahabiyas.
  • The dates and length — anything from a 3-night sailing to a two-week grand tour.
  • The extras — a hot-air balloon over Luxor, Abu Simbel, a private guide, domestic flights or a Red Sea stay.

How does it work?

Tell us what you have in mind using the builder above — trip type, comfort level, rough dates and who is travelling. A real Nile specialist replies within 24 hours with a tailored itinerary and a clear quote. Nothing is booked until you are happy, and you can adjust anything along the way.

Is a tailor made trip more expensive?

Not usually. You only pay for what you actually want, and booking direct with the operator removes the agency mark-up. Prices depend on your ship, season and length — see our current Nile cruise offers for a sense of value, then let us match a trip to your budget.

Planning your tailor made trip

Practical advice from a team that has designed custom Egypt trips since 2009 — the choices that shape a great itinerary.

Best time to sail☀ Oct–Apr is peak

Best time to sail the Nile

The sailing season runs all year, but the experience changes with the weather. What to expect:

  • October – April (peak): warm days of 25–30°C and cool evenings — the most comfortable months for temple touring.
  • May – September: hot, up to 40°C. Cruises still run and prices drop even further.
  • Book early for Christmas, New Year and Easter — the most popular dates fill fast.
What to pack🧳 Pack light

What to pack

Cabins are comfortable but compact — pack smart and light. The essentials:

  • Daywear: light cotton and linen, plus a layer for breezy evenings on deck.
  • Sun protection: a hat, sunglasses and SPF 50 — the sun is strong even in winter.
  • Temples: comfortable walking shoes and modest cover for shoulders and knees.
  • Extras: a reusable water bottle, basic meds and a type C/F power adapter.
Tipping & money💵 Carry small notes

Tipping & money

Tipping (baksheesh) is part of the culture and always appreciated for good service. A simple guide:

  • Carry small notes in US dollars or Egyptian pounds for tips and souvenirs.
  • Crew: a shared tip box at the end of the cruise is customary, split among the ship's team.
  • Guide & driver: tipped separately and directly — they're with you every day on shore.
The route🛕 Luxor → Aswan

The route & temples

Nile cruises sail the classic Luxor–Aswan stretch, stopping at the great riverside temples:

  • Luxor: Karnak & Luxor temples, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut.
  • Edfu & Kom Ombo: the temples of Horus and Sobek, right on the riverbank.
  • Aswan: Philae Temple, the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk.

We've taken many trips but nothing compares to this. Abu Simbel and Hatshepsut were breathtaking, and the balloon ride over Luxor was unforgettable. Every detail was handled.

Ahmed was an incredible guide and the ship was spotlessly clean. Everything ran perfectly from start to finish — we couldn't have asked for more on our first Nile cruise.

We had a fantastic time thanks to Mona, and our guide Amir was brilliant. We left Egypt with a new friend. Genuinely the trip of a lifetime for the whole family.
