Private dahabiya or five-star cruise ship?

A dahabiya is a traditional Nile sailing boat with only a few cabins. You charter it for your group, it sails slowly and moors at quiet spots that big ships pass by, and a private chef cooks for you. Think sunrise on the deck, dinner on a sandbank and no crowds.

A five-star cruise ship is larger, usually with a pool, a bigger restaurant and a fixed schedule. It costs less per person and suits travellers who like more facilities on board. Both visit the same temples between Luxor and Aswan, including Edfu and Kom Ombo. Read more about dahabiya Nile cruises.

Luxury extras you can add

• A sunrise hot air balloon flight over Luxor and the Valley of the Kings.
• A private Grand Egyptian Museum tour with your own Egyptologist.
• An early trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan.
• A few extra days on the Red Sea in Hurghada.

When to go

October to April is the most comfortable time for sightseeing, with warm days and cool evenings. Christmas and New Year are the busiest weeks, so book early for those dates: see our Christmas and New Year Egypt tours. From June to August it is very hot in Luxor and Aswan, so we plan early starts and long breaks in the middle of the day.

Luxury Egypt tour FAQs

How much does a luxury Egypt tour cost?

Starting prices for our luxury Egypt packages range from $1,250 to $1,999 per person, depending on the length and what is included. The 10-day luxury tour with a Nile cruise and Abu Simbel starts at $1,650 per person. Private dahabiya charters are priced per boat on request.

How many days do I need for a luxury trip to Egypt?

Seven days is enough for Cairo, the Pyramids and a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. Ten days adds Abu Simbel and a slower pace. With 13 to 15 days you can add a beach stay on the Red Sea in Hurghada.

Should I choose a dahabiya or a five-star cruise ship?

Choose a dahabiya if you want privacy, a slow pace and quiet stops: it is a small sailing boat chartered for your group, with a private chef. Choose a five-star cruise ship if you want more facilities on board, such as a pool and a larger restaurant, at a lower price per person.

Are your luxury tours private?

Yes. You have your own Egyptologist guide and a private car and driver for every transfer and sightseeing day. On a cruise ship you share the boat with other passengers; on a dahabiya charter the whole boat is yours.

Can you change the itinerary?

Yes. Every tour can be adjusted to your dates, hotels and interests. Tell us how you like to travel and Attarious and his team will send you a tailored plan.

What is your cancellation policy?

You get a 100% refund if you cancel 60 days or more before arrival and 50% at 30 to 59 days. Inside 30 days you can rebook for free.
