The trip in a nutshell

11 days/10 nights

Get ready for an extraordinary expedition into the rich history of Egypt! Over this 11-day private journey, we will delve into the allure of Cairo, the Giza Necropolis, Saqqara, and Memphis. We’ll cruise along the Nile on a luxurious five-star ship, uncovering the treasures of Luxor’s West Bank, Edfu, and Kom Ombo Temples. Prepare to be enchanted by Aswan’s allure and marvel at the grandeur of Abu Simbel, where we’ll embark on a wonderful tour of the grand temples of Ramses II and Nefertari.

Additionally, we’ll have an exclusive experience: traversing the surreal landscapes of the Bahariya Oasis and the captivating Black and White Desert. To fully immerse ourselves in the desert experience, we’ll camp under the stars, allowing us to appreciate the sunrise over the dunes.

It’s a unique tour that will allow us to experience Egypt like never before.

Trip type

This Egypt itinerary has been designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the country. We will visit all the essential stops to fully appreciate Egypt, including an overnight desert excursion. We’ll alternate between leisurely-paced activities during the cruise and more active excursions.

Homosexuality in Egypt is illegal. Gay people need to exercise caution at all times and avoid engaging in public displays of affection to ensure your safety and that of your group. While larger international hotels in tourist hubs such as Cairo may be more accepting of same-sex couples, it’s advisable to steer clear of budget accommodations and opt for rooms with separate beds. Additionally, it’s best to avoid the use of gay dating apps, as local authorities have previously targeted gay men through them.

Physical rating

For this tour, you don’t need significant athletic preparation. It’s enough that you are accustomed to medium-length walks. Special equipment is not necessary either. What you need to train is your gaze for beauty.

Entry requirements

Visas: Egypt generally requires most travelers to obtain a visa for entry. For detailed information on obtaining a single-entry 30-day visa, please refer to the Arab Republic of Egypt’s official website.
