Questions About This Tour
Clear answers to the practical details travellers usually confirm before requesting a quotation.
What can you see in Egypt in 11 days?
This fixed route combines Giza and Saqqara, Abu Simbel, a three-night Aswan-to-Luxor Nile cruise, Luxor and three Hurghada resort nights without adding a rushed final-day connection.
Why does the tour start on Tuesday?
The Tuesday arrival protects the Friday Aswan embarkation after one Cairo touring day and a dedicated Thursday Abu Simbel excursion.
Is Abu Simbel included?
Yes. Abu Simbel has a dedicated private road day from Aswan, with no domestic flight or cruise embarkation attached.
Which Nile cruise is included?
M/S Esmeralda is the named vessel for the three-night Friday Aswan-to-Luxor sailing included in this approved package basis.
How many nights are in Hurghada?
Three resort nights are included, providing two full guest-paced Red Sea leisure days. Optional sea or desert activities are separate.
Is the Grand Egyptian Museum included?
No. The 11-day route deliberately omits the museum instead of compressing it into the Giza and flight day. The 12-day itinerary is the better fit when GEM is essential.
How much does the 11-day tour cost?
Published Egypt Story prices begin at USD 2,058 per person in the Standard tier during May to September when sharing a Triple room. Select Standard, Deluxe, Ultra Deluxe or Luxury, then compare Triple, Double or Single occupancy for your season.
Is this a private tour?
The Egyptologist-led sightseeing and road transfers are private. Domestic flights, cruise services and resort facilities are shared services.
