Incredible experience with journey to Egypt
We have had a great time on our trip to Egypt organized through Journey to Egypt. Osama was very responsive and answered all our questions and arranged all the tours before departure. Anytime we had a question he was quick to answer. When we arrived in Egypt, we were met by Muhammad, who helped us quickly and efficiently get through immigration and customs, and on our way to our hotel we were pleased with how seamless the process was. We met our guide George in Luxor who was extremely knowledgable and passionate about an ancient Egyptian history stories, and explanations of the sites we toured over the next few days made the experience that much more interesting and meaningful. George took excellent care of us ensuring we had breaks and lots of cold water. We could not have asked for a better guide than George. Our time on the Nile cruise was excellent. The staff was great at meeting. Our every need the pace of the tour was perfect for We would get up early and go see a site. Come back to the boat to relax during the heat of the day and then goout again late afternoon to see something else. My family felt relaxed and rested. Our time in Cairo was great. Our guide Michael helped us navigate the large area where the pyramids and sphinx are guiding us to great spots for photos and helped us navigate the grand Egyptian museum with efficiency ensuring we saw the highlights of the museum making the most of our limited time there. We have felt incredibly safe the whole time we have been in Egypt everybody has been nice and helpful. We travelled with two seniors and two children, and never once felt at risk. Although coming to Egypt in August is hot, one of the benefits has been many of the sites have not been very busy so we had the experience of these wonder sites in almost a private setting. If I were coming back to Egypt, I would book again with Osama and Journey to Egypt without hesitation. I cannot think of anything that been better on our trip. It was seamless enjoyable, and very easy to navigate everywhere we went thanks to the thoughtful planning from Journey to Egypt.
Response from the operator: Dear Jenn, Thank you from all of us at Journey To Egypt for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. Reading your words means a great deal to me personally and to everyone who had the pleasure of being part of your family's journey through Egypt. From our first conversations while planning your trip, our goal was to make every detail as smooth as possible so that once you arrived, you could simply relax, enjoy your time together, and experience Egypt without having to worry about the logistics. Knowing that you felt the journey was seamless, enjoyable, and easy from beginning to end is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. I am especially grateful for your kind words about Mohamed, George, and Michael. I will make sure each of them sees your comments. George will be particularly touched to know how much his knowledge, passion for ancient Egyptian history, and care for your family added to your experience in Luxor and along the Nile. Our guides don't simply show our guests historical sites; we want them to understand the stories behind them and leave Egypt feeling a genuine connection to this extraordinary civilization. It was also wonderful to read how much your family enjoyed the Nile cruise. There is something very special about exploring an ancient temple in the morning, returning to the ship to relax as the Nile passes by, and then setting out again later in the day. I am delighted that the pace worked so well for your family, especially while traveling with both children and senior family members. Your comments about feeling safe throughout your time in Egypt are particularly meaningful. We know that travelers sometimes arrive with questions or concerns about visiting Egypt, so hearing directly from a family who has just traveled throughout the country—and felt welcomed, comfortable, and well cared for—is incredibly valuable. And despite the August heat, you discovered one of the advantages of traveling at this time of year: experiencing some of Egypt's magnificent historical sites with fewer visitors and moments that can feel almost private. Those are memories we hope stay with your family for many years. Jenn, it has genuinely been a pleasure getting to know you through the planning of this journey and then following along as you and your family experienced Egypt day by day. Thank you for trusting Journey To Egypt with such an important family trip. Your final words—that you would return to Egypt and book with us again without hesitation—mean more to us than I can express. From myself, Mohamed, George, Michael, and the entire Journey To Egypt team, thank you for choosing us and for allowing us to share our country, its history, the magic of the Nile, and its people with your family. Egypt will always be here to welcome you back. Until then, we hope you take home wonderful memories and a little piece of Egypt in your hearts. 🇪🇬 Warmest regards, Osama Founder & Managing Director Journey To Egypt

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow! Dream come true, and I have John (our private guide) to thank. When booking with Journey to Egypt, I appreciated the great communication. When we arrived in Luxor we were greeted by John and our transportation to our boat. He helped settle us and explained what our tours & schedule would look like over the next week. He was very knowledgeable about each of the temples we visited. Even arranging for us to stop at a pharmacy as one of our travel companions felt ill. He helped communicate with the pharmacist to get the right meds. Ended up needing to stop at the pharmacy 2 more times over the next few days as the bug spread. He also arranged a special lunch for us out on the economy. Our trip was made so easy and care free knowing he was handling all the details for us. Would not hesitate to book with Journey to Egypt again but would definitely request John‼️
Response from the operator: Dear Laurence, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your 7-night Nile Cruise with Journey to Egypt. We are delighted to know that your journey was such a memorable and seamless experience from start to finish. It is especially wonderful to hear your appreciation for John and the way he supported your trip throughout. From your arrival in Luxor and the smooth coordination of transfers, to his detailed explanations at each site and thoughtful attention to your daily arrangements, we are pleased he helped create a sense of ease and confidence during your travels. His professionalism and care in ensuring everything ran smoothly truly reflect the standard of service we aim to deliver. We also appreciate your kind words regarding our communication and overall organization.

Amazing trip to Egypt!
We chose Journey to Egypt for our 7 day Cairo and Nile cruise tour and couldn’t have been happier! As two female travellers going to Egypt for the first time, we wanted to make sure that everything was well planned and that we had a seamless trip throughout our time in Egypt. In the lead up to our trip Marina answered every email promptly and answered all our questions. Once we arrived, we were collected at every stage of our tour on time, a with clear communication meaning we never had to worry about a thing. Our first guide in Saqqara and Giza was Mayer. He was outstanding and shared his great knowledge and love of Egypt with us. He made us feel like family. John was our guide throughout the Nile cruise journey. He shared thorough and detailed knowledge and his passion and enthusiasm at every temple and site we visited. John’s attention to detail also meant that everything ran like clockwork. We couldn’t speak more highly Marina, Mayer and John who all helped to make our trip a once in a lifetime experience! We highly recommend Journey To Egypt

It’s wonderful to hear that Mayer’s expert guidance at Saqqara and Giza made you feel like part of the family, and that John’s passion, enthusiasm, and attention to detail ensured your Nile cruise was perfectly organized and full of memorable experiences. Hearing that our team contributed to a once-in-a-lifetime trip is incredibly rewarding. Your recommendation means a great deal, and it motivates us to continue providing tailored, seamless, and unforgettable travel experiences for all our guests.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does 7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air cost?
+
Prices start at $1,200 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 7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air take?
+
Plan for about 168 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 7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air?
+
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 7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 168-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air?
+
Around 14 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air 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.
What is included in 7 Day Pyramids & Nile Cruise By Air?
+

+
