Excellent private tour of Cairo and Nile cruise including Abu Simbel
We had a 9 night private tour of Egypt with my wife organized by Ramasside Tours, and we were extremely satisfied with all aspects. The booking was really easy, Mahmoud was answering always very quickly and always understood what I wanted. The bookings of the hotels and the cruise were also flawless and the detailed itinerary with all add-ons was just what I wanted (slightly longer than their standard tour - we added an extra day in Cairo and a trip down to Abu Simbel at the end). The Ramasside representative was already waiting for us at the Cairo airport before the passport control, which was very easy and quick. Our hotel in Cairo was Le Meridien Pyramids and it was pretty good, up to Western standards. The pool has a view of the Pyramids. Our guides in Cairo were Mahmoud (during the day) and Ayoub (evenings). Both were excellent, Mahmoud took us to the pyramids, camel ride, pyramids at Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara the first day, then the museum, the citadel and the bazaar the second day, and a super walking tour of Cairo the third day. Ayoub was with us for the sound and light show, the dinner cruise and the several more check-ins and check outs. The second part of our journey was in upper Egypt, and we had Sam (Haytham) with us for 5 days. Sam was really wonderful - he made sure every detail is worked out perfectly, had a deep knowledge of ancient Egypt, and is a really kind person. He made sure we avoid any crowds and since the temperature in upper Egypt in July is > 40C we went to most places very early in the morning to avoid the excessive heat during the day, or in the evenings. The Valley of the Kings is unbelievable, especially the tomb of Ramses VI, make sure you include that. Karnak and Luxor temples are amazing, and the Luxor museum is worth seeing too - much smaller than Cairo but well organized and only high quality. The cruise ship (Jaz Regency) was nice, our cabin was big enough and we had good ac. The temples we stopped on the way from Luxor to Aswan were definitely worth seeing, and in Aswan we saw Philae temple, the high dam and the Nubian museum, as well as a carriage ride in the evening. Our last day was the excursion to the amazing Abu Simbel. While it is very far, it is definitely a must do once you are in Egypt, for me it was one of the best sights. Overall I had an excellent time in Egypt, and would definitely recommend Ramasside Tours - they made everything easy and extremely well organized. Every aspect of the actual trip was just like they promised, the drivers were excellent both in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, no hidden extra charges, no gimmicks, and when we said we did not want to do a particular shopping stop they skipped it without any problems. I would most definitely like to come back to Egypt and use Ramasside again.

Egypt is safe even for female solo asian travellers
As a 39 y/o female solo traveller, I always felt safe with the guides and drivers of ramasside. Not only were they efficient, punctual and knowledgeable, but I felt their sincerity as well. Special thanks to Mr. Mina, Sam and Magdi and Ms Nada. I had so much fun in Egypt which was made hassle-free by you guys!

Cairo & Nile Cruise
Really glad that we booked our holiday package through Ramaside Tours. We had a brilliant time on our 9 day package tour. We saw some awesome sites down the Nile, while also getting some relaxation time on the cruise. A perfect combination. Our tour guide, Amr who stayed with us during the Nile Cruise was very knowledgeable on the sites we visited and provided some great info about the locations. Tarek and Mina showed us around the sites at Cairo where we spent two days seeing the Pyramids, the Museum and the Citadel. There was plenty of time for us to shop during the excursions and during our free time in Aswan and Cairo. Bought back loads of gifts and memories. Definitely recommend these guys to anyone who wants the effort of planning taking care off. Leaves you to just relax in knowledge that you won't miss anything important.

Abydos & Luxor fantastic tour
I have spent the last 3 days visiting Abydos & Dendara (1 day) and Luxor (2 days) with my guide Ahmed Haggag Ali. First of all, I would highly recommend Abydos to anyone (even if it is way out of any route, +3h by car from Luxor). Abydos is truly a special place, thanks to its colorful paintings and design. And Ahmed provided me with all the history and explanations related to this temple. He knows eveything!! He has been able to answer all of my questions so far (and believe me, I have had a lot!) We later had a delicious 'fuul' in a local restaurant (see pic). Luxor is, of course, a must see if you plan to visit Egypt. I spent one day in the east bank and another in the west bank. The Karnak and Luxor temples on the East bank are fascinating, and the Valley of the Kings in the West bank has beautiful tombs. Of the 3 tombs I visited, Ramses III was my favourite, extremely colorful. If you have the budget, I also recommend the hot air balloon trip, which is just breathtaking. I will spend 3 more days with my guide Ahmed Haggag Ali to visit Edfu & Kom Ombo, Aswan and Abu Simbel, and I am very much looking forward to it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed your tour with us, I hope you will enjoy the rest of your holiday with us! Afaf Emad Quality Assurance Supervisor Ramasside Tours

Incredible trip made possible by Ramasside Tour!
We just returned from a fantastic trip to Egypt. A few days in Cairo combined with 3 day Nile Cruise. I had visited Cairo before many years ago but being supported by Ramasside Tours made all the difference. I would like to specially recommend the tour guides: Mina, Mohammed Talaat in Cairo and Arm in Aswan and Luxor. Our drivers were excellent as well: Abdul and Ehab. Unfortunately don’t remember the name of our drivers in Aswan and Luxor but they were also incredible. It was a new experience for me to have someone take absolute and complete control of all details so I could simply relax. As my overall trip feedback-Mena hotel is the place to be in Cairo but if you wish to avoid the crazy traffic from Giza I would suggest hotel in Cairo for your last night. In regards to the cruise we selected the luxe category and we should had selected the ultimate luxury option overall. The cruise was a bit “basic” more like a 3 stars than what we expected. Again that was our selection so it should not reflect bad on Ramasside Tours.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for choosing Ramasside, and for taking the time to write a review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your holiday with us, as well as the guided tours through Egypt. We aim to provide a truly unique experience, and we are thrilled that we were able to exceed your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back to Egypt in the future. Sincerely, M. Yousef Chairman Ramasside Travel Group

8 Days Cairo & Nile Cruise by Flight: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does 8 Days Cairo & Nile Cruise by Flight cost?
+
Prices start at $405 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 8 Days Cairo & Nile Cruise by Flight take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 8 Days Cairo & Nile Cruise by Flight worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 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 outdoors in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Days Cairo & Nile Cruise by Flight?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 8 Days Cairo & Nile Cruise by Flight suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 Days Cairo & Nile Cruise by Flight?
+
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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Days Cairo & Nile Cruise by Flight 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.
