Egypt travel booking questions and answers

Plan and Book Your Egypt Trip with Clear Information

Package details vary, so always use the final written itinerary, inclusion list and booking terms as the controlling information for your reservation.

Tours and Package Inclusions

Compare before booking
What is included in Egypt tour packages?

Inclusions depend on the selected itinerary. An Egypt tour package may include accommodation, airport assistance, private transport, Egyptologist-guided sightseeing, entrance fees, selected meals, domestic flights and Nile cruise accommodation. Check the written inclusion section of each Egypt tour package; anything not listed should be confirmed before payment.

Are Egypt Tours Club tours private or shared?

Many itineraries can be arranged privately, with a private vehicle and guide for the confirmed travellers. Some cruises, group departures and activities operate on a shared basis. The service type should be identified in the final proposal. You can compare private Egypt tours or request a custom arrangement.

Can I customise an Egypt itinerary?

Yes. A private itinerary can be planned around your dates, destinations, group size, preferred hotel and cruise level, interests, pace, budget and mobility requirements. Use the tailor-made Egypt tour form and include the services that matter most to you.

Are attraction entrance fees included?

Only entrance fees explicitly listed in the package inclusion section are included. Special-access tickets, entry inside certain pyramids, selected royal tombs and optional experiences may cost extra. Compare the written inclusions on the relevant Egypt tour package before confirming.

When will I receive the hotel and Nile cruise names?

Proposals may initially show a preferred property or “similar” category while availability is checked. The confirmed hotel and cruise names should be stated in your final booking documents. Browse the available Nile cruise options or ask the team about a specific vessel or hotel.

Can I book only a day tour instead of a complete package?

Yes. You can book private sightseeing and excursions from Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and other destinations. Review the countrywide collection of Egypt day tours and check the pickup location, duration, inclusions and return arrangements.

Visas, Flights and Arrival

Check current official rules
Do I need a visa to travel to Egypt?

Visa requirements depend on nationality, passport type and travel circumstances. Some travellers may be eligible for an e-Visa or visa on arrival, while others must arrange a visa before departure. Check the official Egyptian e-Visa portal and the advice of the relevant Egyptian consulate before travelling.

Immigration rules and fees can change. Egypt Tours Club can provide general guidance but cannot guarantee entry or replace official immigration advice.

How much passport validity do I need for Egypt?

Passport-validity requirements can depend on nationality and entry method. Verify the current requirement with the official Egyptian e-Visa portal, your airline and the Egyptian consulate serving your country before departure. Do not rely on an old blog post for a time-sensitive entry decision.

Do Egypt tour packages include international flights?

International airfare is normally excluded unless the individual package or final quotation explicitly says it is included. Check the inclusion and exclusion sections of the selected Egypt tour package.

Are domestic flights within Egypt included?

Domestic flights may be included when an itinerary connects Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh, but inclusion varies by package. Confirm the route, baggage allowance and fare conditions through the relevant tour itinerary.

Can you arrange airport pickup and arrival assistance?

Yes, airport meet-and-assist and private transfers can be arranged when included in the itinerary or added to a custom proposal. Request the service through the tailor-made tour planner.

Booking, Payments and Changes

Written terms matter
How do I book an Egypt tour?

Choose a published itinerary or send a custom enquiry with your dates, traveller numbers, room requirements and preferred destinations. Review the final itinerary, inclusions, exclusions, price and booking terms before paying the required deposit. Start through the contact page.

What payment methods are available?

Available payment methods and any processing conditions should be shown on the invoice or secure payment instructions provided for your booking. Never send complete payment-card details through an ordinary message; use the instructions supplied after you contact the booking team.

When are the deposit and final balance due?

Deposit and balance deadlines vary according to the trip, travel date and supplier conditions. Peak seasons, cruises and flights may require earlier payments. Follow your quotation and review the website's Terms and Conditions.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Change and cancellation conditions depend on timing and the rules of the hotels, cruises, airlines and other suppliers in your reservation. Review the Cancellation Policy and your booking-specific terms. Request any change in writing as early as possible.

Why can the final tour price differ from the displayed price?

The final price can change with travel dates, availability, accommodation category, room occupancy, group size, flights and upgrades. Use the custom tour planner to request a personalised written quotation.

Practical Egypt Travel Planning

Prepare for the journey
What is the best time to visit Egypt?

October through April generally offers milder conditions for extensive sightseeing, while summer can be very hot—especially in Upper Egypt. The best period also depends on your route; compare options among the Egypt tour packages.

Is Egypt safe to visit?

Travel conditions vary by location and can change. Review current government travel advice, follow local-authority instructions and discuss the route with your operator. No company should give an absolute safety guarantee; contact our local team about the planned itinerary.

What should I pack for an Egypt tour?

Bring comfortable walking shoes, breathable clothing, sun protection, personal medication and a light layer for cooler evenings. Modest clothing is appropriate for religious sites. Ask the travel team if a specific activity requires additional equipment.

Will my tour include an Egyptologist guide in my language?

Qualified Egyptologist guiding can be arranged in several languages, subject to availability. State your required language through the tailor-made tour enquiry and ensure it appears in the confirmation.

Can tours be adapted for families, seniors or travellers with limited mobility?

Many private itineraries can be adjusted for pace, vehicle access, rest time and family needs. Accessibility varies between sites, boats and hotels, so explain all requirements through the custom itinerary form before booking.

Are tips included, and how does tipping work in Egypt?

Tipping is customary in Egypt but may be included, excluded or handled through a suggested arrangement depending on the package. Check the exclusion section of the selected tour package and request itinerary-specific guidance.

Before and During Your Trip

Local assistance
What booking documents will I receive?

You should receive written confirmation showing the itinerary, confirmed services, inclusions, exclusions, accommodation information when available, payment record and contact details. Use the contact page if any required document is missing.

How can I contact the team during my trip?

Confirmed travellers should use the operational contact details supplied with their booking documents. For general enquiries, email info@egypttoursclub.com, use WhatsApp on +20 111 891 6666 or visit the Contact Egypt Tours Club page.

Is Egypt Tours Club operated by a licensed Egyptian tour operator?

Egypt Tours Club is operated by Vagus Travel Co., an Egyptian tour operator holding Tourism License No. 988 and IATA membership. Read more about the company, history and operating model on the About Egypt Tours Club page.

Outstanding once again. I have booked with Egypt tours club 4 times now through a very helpful and lovely man Ali. This time we booked a Cairo day trip and luxor day trip from hurghada.The Cairo day trip was amazing with sights of the pyramids and museums alongside a nice buffet lunch included. The tour guide Mohammad gamal was excellent. His knowledge was vast and his care and hospitality was brilliant. He was very friendly and nice to talk to. The luxor day trip was even better in terms of historical sites. Witnessed the valley of the kings, Hatshepsut temple and Karnak temple alongside a classical lunch in Egyptian cuisine. The guide was also great here with so much knowledge about Egypt in general and luxor. Learnt more this time round than the first 3 times.

I was in touch with this group about six weeks before our planned travel. We wanted to create an itinerary in Cairo that did not duplicate the tour we had already booked, so I sent the information to Yousri directly and outlined the types of experiences we were looking to have. (I found out later that ETC hosts tour experiences around all of Egypt).

I had a FANTASTIC time with Egypt Tours Club! My guide Ahmed Farahat was a wonderful magical guide that completely made my trip a unique experience. Everyone I encountered was incredibly nice and knowledgeable, and any unique special request was catered to. I felt 100% safe the entire trip, and would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to get a fascinating overview of Egypt!
