Treated like a Queen of Egypt !
My 9 day solo, private tour was beyond my expectations! From day one I was treated like a Queen and everything went smoothly. This tour included all hotels, entrance tickets, flight tickets, cruise and transportation. I didn't have to worry about much except for tips, souvenirs and anything extra I wanted. The tour director, Ezz, escorted me to and from all my flights. Mr. Omar was the driver for all my time in Cairo and he was very good and safe. Ms. Randa was my egyptologist guide in Cairo and Mr. Mohamed was my egyptologist guide for Luxor and Aswan. They were both so knowledgeable and gracious. I asked for a hands-on and immersive experience and they definitely delivered! The Nile cruise was awesome. The rooms were clean and the food was fantastic with so much variety. The Staff was wonderful and went above and beyond. Egypt is so amazing! My pictures and words don't even come close to this describing this once in a lifetime experience, altho, I hope to go there again someday. My experience was made so much better and effortless due to Ezz and the gang from Look at Egypt Tours. I always felt totally safe and I would highly recommend this solo trip for any woman. XOXO
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled your solo journey exceeded expectations and that you felt safe, cared for, and inspired every step of the way. Huge thanks to Ezz, Randa, Mohamed, and Omar for making it so special. We’d be honored to welcome you back to Egypt again soon! Warm regards, The Look at Egypt Tours Team

Amazing trip to Cairo, Luxor and Aswan
We enjoyed an absolutely amazing trip to Egypt through Look at Egypt tours. We would highly recommend using this tour group for your trip. Not only were the sites a great choice, but we were well taken care of and felt safe the entire trip. Mahmoud, our Tour Host, greeted us when we got off the plane and helped us through immigration and provided transportation to our hotel. His knowledge of the process, allowed us to navigate quickly and easily. He made us feel welcomed and safe especially after the long flight. We then met our professional Egyptologist, Randa, who provided expert and detailed information for our group at each of the locations. She was amazing at keeping us together as we explored the various sites. Her knowledge was deep but didn't overwhelm us with too much information. She kept track of our group, always making sure where and when we should be meeting. Our itinerary included the Pyramids at Giza, Step Pyramid at Saqqara, Alabaster Mosque of Mohammed Ali, Egyptian Museum. We also visited several shops - Cotton/Linen, Papyrus, Jewelry - all stores were under government control to insure quality and price. We then flew from Cairo to Luxor, where we boarded our River Boat for the next 4 nights. We visited Temples of Karnak and Luxor, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. We also visited a local Alabaster shop. We also enjoyed a sunrise Hot Air Ballon ride over Luxor! (this was extra through Beyond Horizons) On board the River Boat, we cruised the Nile river southward. We stopped at the Kom Ombo Temple and ended in Aswan. Once in Aswan, we visited the Philae Temple. Optionally, the group went to Abu Simbel. We then flew back from Aswan to Cairo. Once, in Cairo, the Look at Egypt team took care of us getting through checkin for our flights home. I would highly recommend using Look at Egypt - the itinerary is amazing and the team took care of us, eliminating all concerns of navigating a new country.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! 🌟 We’re thrilled you enjoyed your Egypt adventure with our guides and itineraries. Your kind words inspire us to keep sharing Egypt’s magic. Hope to welcome you back soon

Honeymoon of a lifetime
Our honeymoon trip to Egypt was an incredible experience with Look at Egypt tours. The management of details was most impressive. We were greated at the airport by Walid who assisted us in getting through customs and arriving at our resort. The resort was beautiful, clean, excellent with variety of food and spa services. We were provided excellent restaurants, site seeing, security, and an egyptologist, Randa, whose knowledge was beyond impressive. Randa assisted us in seeing the best of the best and helped us to move through the sites ensuring we saw the most important aspects of each site. It would have been impossible to navigate the sites without a guide. Our security was amazing as well. Security guided us on handling vendors and markets where goods for sale are often not authentic. Our tour company arranged for exclusive shopping opportunities at government monitored businesses including Egyptian cotton, oils/perfumes, jewelry, Alabaster and papyrus. After flying to Luxor We traveled on a beautiful boat to Aswan, seeing sites daily. The boats accommodations and food was excellent. Staff incredibly friendly as well. We celebrated 2 events, our marriage and my husband's birthday during our trip. We were surprised with gifts, cakes, musical celebrations that really made us feel loved. Highly recommend this company for all travel coordination. Thank you Look at Egypt Tours.

Huge focus on attention to detail and to looking after us
Fabulous tour and really well looked after. Lots of attention paid to ensuring we were happy with the arrangements. All very personal from being met at the airport right through to our return. Lots of good details and nice surprises not mentioned in the description. What you get to see is utterly amazing. Guides are expert and we’re attentive and fun The boat is fine, not super luxury but it absolutely doesn’t matter and the crew are very polite and friendly and food is perfectly good I very much felt we could trust this tour company to do its absolute best to ensure we were happy.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such a great time on our tour. We hope to see you again soon

Great Experience In Egypt
Egypt 🇪🇬 has been on my bucket list for a long time. And luckily I found Look at Egypt Tours. They took care of everything-tours, hotels, cruise , transportation! It was amazing. Visited Cairo, Nile cruise from Luxor to Edfu to Komombo to Aswan. Saw Pyramids, Temples, and Tombs. Rode camels and hot air balloons. Both of our tour guides were great hosts - Ahmed Farahat for all the sites in Cairo and Ayman Morgan for the sites along the Nile Cruise. We learned a ton and loved listening to their enthusiasm as they shared so much about the ancient Egyptian world. I’d definitely recommend Look at Egypt Tours!
Response from the operator: That's wonderful to hear! We're absolutely thrilled you had a 5-star experience with Look at Egypt Tours. We truly appreciate your kind review and can't wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Egypt

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Egypt 9 Days- Cairo Pyramids and Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Egypt 9 Days- Cairo Pyramids and Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel cost?
+
Prices start at $802 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 Egypt 9 Days- Cairo Pyramids and Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel take?
+
Plan for about 216 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 Egypt 9 Days- Cairo Pyramids and Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 37 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 Egypt 9 Days- Cairo Pyramids and Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Egypt 9 Days- Cairo Pyramids and Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 216-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Egypt 9 Days- Cairo Pyramids and Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel?
+
Around 13 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 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Egypt 9 Days- Cairo Pyramids and Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel 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.
