    Allow about 45–75 minutes for a typical visit. We usually schedule a one-hour private visit including a short orientation. Visitors who read labels closely or view a temporary exhibition should allow up to 90 minutes.
  2. 02Where is the Royal Jewelry Museum located in Alexandria?
    The Royal Jewelry Museum is in Alexandria's Zizinia district, east of central Alexandria. Expect 20–40 minutes by car from central Alexandria depending on traffic and your hotel location. We can include transfer times in your itinerary.
  3. 03Can I take photographs inside the Royal Jewelry Museum?
    Photography policies vary; flash and tripods are usually prohibited. Handheld non-flash photos are often allowed in the galleries, but the museum can restrict images of certain objects. We confirm the photography policy before your visit.
  4. 04Are guided tours available at the Royal Jewelry Museum?
    Yes – we can arrange a private guided visit with one of our Egyptologists. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and can supply an authorised local guide; some time slots require advance booking. Compared with coach-group visits, a private guide gives more time for questions and for photographing the displays.
  5. 05What are the opening hours of the Royal Jewelry Museum?
    Opening hours are seasonal and may change during Ramadan or national holidays. Typical hours run in the morning through late afternoon, but always check current times before travel. We confirm opening hours and book timed-entry tickets when required.
  6. 06Is the Royal Jewelry Museum suitable for children and pushchairs?
    The museum suits school-age children but has narrow rooms and some steps. Pushchairs can be awkward in tighter galleries and some displays are at low height. Tell us if you're travelling with infants or reduced mobility so we can plan an easier route.

Abu Simbel Temples, AswanAswan

Abu Simbel Temples, Aswan

Abu Simbel lies about 280 km south of Aswan and is reached by a 40‑minute flight or a 3.5–4 hour road transfer. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange private early flights and timed private‑car arrivals so clients avoid coach crowds and the hottest hours. The twin sites are the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Small Temple of Nefertari, moved to higher ground between 1964 and 1968 during an international relocation campaign and included in the Nubian Monuments UNESCO listing. Trade‑offs: a same‑day return requires an early start and either a long road journey or a small‑plane seat; shade is limited on the forecourt.

Sun Festival at Abu Simbel Temples (22 February / 22 October)Aswan

Sun Festival at Abu Simbel Temples (22 February / 22 October)

See the twice-yearly solar alignment at Abu Simbel on 22 February or 22 October when sunlight reaches the inner sanctuary. The twin rock temples were carved for Ramses II and honour Amun‑Re and Ra. They were moved in 1964–1968 and form part of the UNESCO World Heritage 'Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae'. Abu Simbel is approximately 280 km south of Aswan (about 3.5 hours by road). We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and can arrange timed-entry tickets, private road transfers and an Egyptologist briefing when available. Unlike same-day coach runs, we recommend an overnight in Aswan to avoid very early road departures and rushed visits; expect limited shade at the forecourt and large crowds on festival dates.

Admission pass for Al-Moez Street

Al-Moez Street is a historic thoroughfare in Cairo’s Islamic quarter, lined with monuments and architecture from the Fatimid and Mamluk periods. The entry ticket grants access to the street and its visible monuments, with views of landmarks such as Bab Zuweila and the Mosque of Al-Hakim. Unlike admission to a single indoor site, this is an open historic quarter, so the visit takes place along a public street. Opening hours can vary by season and during special events; check current information before visiting. Discovery Tours Egypt arranges the ticket, which is sent by email as a PDF after booking.
