Egypt, our Dream more than twenty years
We (mine – husband – two daughters) are enjoying the tour with Explore Plus, Our Cairo guide was Mo Sobhi another guide join us all sailing cruise for 4 days besides 2 nights in the Luxor land hotel. All were very good leading the tour during our trip to Egypt, therefore I recommend Salah. I enjoy his tour and he was very patient very fast responded with clear information. Everything went on schedule and we didn’t have any delays, We are especially happy with our Nile Cruise guide Rocky as all called him. He was very informative, polite, and considerate. The only thing is that we could have been informed more about extra tours we could have made during our free time. I realized after my arrival back in Istanbul that I could have seen more especially in Cairo. Definitely recommend. if you want to visit Egypt choose the tour company explore plus and ask for these guides... Sorry I forgot to thank the driver Kaled or Khaled he accompanies us all tour even he join us in Luxor and Hurghada

An excellent experience
An excellent experience! We started in Cairo and took the Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Our guide was very accommodating and had so much knowledge about the history of Egypt. We visited all Luxor and Aswan important monuments specially Philae temple of Isis. Huge Karnak temple and amazing Ramses II temple in Abu Simbet Salah director of Explore Plus Holidays was so helpful, He all time was chatting with us by mails and whatssapp. Their guides in Cairo and Nile cruise were acknowledge, Mo Sobhi in Cairo and Rocky in ship were providing knowledge and experiences throughout!

Excellent experience
We were very happy with the quality of the tour—our guides were very knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. The sites visited were exquisite, especially the less frequented temples such as Abydos. And the 5-star accommodations, especially Achti resort in Luxor, were superb. We would highly recommend this tour package!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
11-Night Private Mysteries of Egypt Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does 11-Night Private Mysteries of Egypt Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $590 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 11-Night Private Mysteries of Egypt Tour take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Giza is not rushed.
Is 11-Night Private Mysteries of Egypt Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 11-Night Private Mysteries of Egypt Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 11-Night Private Mysteries of Egypt Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 11-Night Private Mysteries of Egypt Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Giza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 11-Night Private Mysteries of Egypt Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Giza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Giza?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Giza?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
