Small Group Egypt Holidays
Small-group Egypt holidays bridge the gap between a fully private trip and a coach-group package. You travel with 4 to 12 like-minded travellers, one shared Egyptologist guide, one minibus, fixed departure dates. 25–35% cheaper than a private holiday, sociable evenings on the cruise deck, and the security of a set schedule.

Premium11-Day Egypt Grand Tour for the 2027 Solar Eclipse
Cairo
This 11-day tour combines Cairo with a Nile cruise through the Nile Valley, with the itinerary centred on the 2027 solar eclipse. Discovery Tours Egypt, a licensed Egyptian tour operator, arranges hotel accommodation, a cabin aboard an assigned Nile cruiser, itinerary-related transfers and an Egyptologist for included sightseeing. Standard entrance fees for included Egyptian sites are covered. Domestic flights are not included and must be arranged separately. The eclipse is the focus of the tour. Unlike a short Cairo break, this programme pairs time in the capital with travel along the Nile.
Budget8-day Cairo and Nile cruise to Luxor and Aswan
Luxor
I’m based in Cairo and we operate this programme on the ground as a licensed company under the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism (ETAA). Over eight days you’ll combine two nights in Cairo with a four‑night Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor plus return travel. Our Egyptologists lead the guided visits: the Giza Plateau (Khufu Pyramid and surrounding monuments), the Egyptian Museum (Tahrir), Saqqara (Djoser), then the cruise visits Philae, the Aswan High Dam, Kom Ombo, Edfu and the principal sites of Luxor – Karnak Temple on the East Bank and the Luxor West Bank including the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut (Deir el‑Bahri). Standard entrance fees to the sites included in the itinerary are covered; pyramid interior tickets (Khufu/Khafre), premium tombs (Tutankhamun, Seti I) and optional excursions such as Abu Simbel are not included unless you request them. We arrange airport transfers, private transport between sites and the ship, and the cruise cabin; our local teams manage the logistics so you can focus on the sites themselves.
