Absolutely amazing!! Just do it!
If you’re slightly hesitant travelling to Egypt, then this is the trip for you! Everything is organised from beginning to end so you don’t need to think about anything other than having a fabulous time. From the time we stepped off the plane in Cairo we were met by someone with a sign with our names before we went through passport control. He literally walked us through, had our passports stamped, waited for us to get our luggage and walked us outside to meet our driver and tour guide. Our tour guide was Sayed Khalil and our driver was Abdel Rahman. Ahhhh-mazing is an understatement. My partner and I absolutely loved both of them. They were super friendly, funny, extremely knowledgeable, organised and made us feel so comfortable! They were always on time, always had a smile on their faces and made our trip so special and relaxed. You must ask for them if you’re booking, you won’t regret it! When we boarded the Nile River Cruise in Aswan we were introduced to Ahmed Abd Elaziz. We thought he was the cruise director or manager, but no, he was our own personal tour guide for the entire 3 day cruise! He contracts for Booking2Egypt and we could not fault him. The loveliest, funniest, most knowledgeable person. We were so lucky to have him take us on our excursions. It was like having a friend with us. It was also great having the flexibility to be able to stay longer or leave earlier at certain places if we wanted too, rather than having to wait for bus loads of people on a schedule. Both Sayed and Ahmed were also contactable on WhatsApp and happy to answer any questions at any time. Booking2Egypt as a company was also fantastic and so easy to deal with via WhatsApp. They were always able to answer my questions and their response time was great so I was never left in the dark. Highly recommend this package. You won’t regret it! Trina and Steve Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺

Great Trip and Great Communication from Booking2Egypt
Some background: Solo traveler. I had booked a different trip via Viator but the other vendor selected was terrible at replying back or gave very short responses. Two days before my Egypt trip I cancelled and booked via Viator this trip with Booking2 Egypt per suggestion of Viator representative on the phone. Pros: Communication was excellent; my responses via WhatsApp were responded to in a timely manner. I was provided an itinerary each day as to what my plan was and when I was going to be picked up. Guides also messaged me as well via Whatsapp. Drivers were great. Airport pick ups were organized/great. My cruise was on the Symphony boat which the food was amazing/staff very helpful (in particular the younger front desk reception guy). Guides, for the most part, were very helpful and friendly. There was only one situation where the guide didn't meet me on the boat and the cruise staff (which was excellent) helped me to find my guide/place outside. It's possible because the guide was female she may have not been allowed to board boats ... I don't know (there is an apparent bias against females working in Egypt). Work on/suggestion: 1, Lodging/Cruise options were budgeted for a set amount and 'basic'. Consider "up-selling" customer to better lodging/cruise accommodations if available. I was more than willing to pay more for better lodging/location so let them know you don't want 'basic' lodging or 'basic' cruise accommodations. This didn't ruin my trip but could have made it a little better. 2. Perhaps it was because I booked two days before arrival but detailed, typed out itineraries (on a Google Doc or Word Doc) would be helpful compared to daily Whatsapp briefings (which were helpful ... but kept me waiting/impatient). Good to know about the trip: 1. I am usually a "do it yourself" type person when it comes to travel but it's very important to have guides in Egypt; particularly if you're a solo traveler or female. They get you in/out more quickly and can haggle on your behalf for side trips (i.e. camel rides, gifts, etc.). 2. Be prepared to be harassed by security at the Cairo airport when departing; they were asking a lot of useless questions about my souvenirs purchased and contents in my suitcase (i.e. why do you have shaving cream in your suitcase? Do you have your receipts for souvenirs ? Are you from Israel? ). Finally security gave up and let me proceed but it was sort of unprofessional having to do this two times before checking in my luggage . Perhaps having the driver/guide follow me to security (like I saw some other groups) would be helpful. Wasn't aware that "tipping" is apparently normal to security professionals at the airport hence why I was likely screened more (along with being from the USA). Overall, great experience and company to enjoy your Egypt travels .
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had a positive experience with Booking2 Egypt. Safe travels and hope to see you again!

It was a great tour and for the price!
The tour started in Cairo with a different tour guide. Cairo was alright. Once we landed in Luxor, our tour guide, Ahmed, was with us for the rest of the tour. Iman is awesome! He is very passionate when he explains everything and he knows his stuff. Our group had so many questions and he was able to explain everything perfectly. The itinerary was amazing and well organized and the tour guide made it even better. I would definitely recommend this tour to see many temples and learn the history. Egypt was an amazing experience from this tour

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Days 5 Nights Cairo & Nile Cruise Tour Package: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does 6 Days 5 Nights Cairo & Nile Cruise Tour Package cost?
+
Prices start at €1,045 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Days 5 Nights Cairo & Nile Cruise Tour Package take?
+
Plan for about 144 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is 6 Days 5 Nights Cairo & Nile Cruise Tour Package worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Days 5 Nights Cairo & Nile Cruise Tour Package?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 Days 5 Nights Cairo & Nile Cruise Tour Package 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 144-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 6 Days 5 Nights Cairo & Nile Cruise Tour Package?
+
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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Days 5 Nights Cairo & Nile Cruise Tour Package 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
