More Details

Egypt luxury private tours first begin in Alexandria. Indeed, it holds the reputation as the capital of historic culture and Mediterranean ambiance since its founding by Alexander the Great in 332 BC. Second to Cairo only in size, Alexandria is “The Pearl of the Mediterranean” — a city of many wonders.

With your private guide, explore the secret catacombs of Kom El Shogafa deep underground. Also visit the Roman-era Pompey’s Pillar and the Montazah Palace Gardens. The shimmering Bibliotheca Alexandria stands on the site of the Library of Alexander and serves as a tribute to the original library as a global center for research, culture, and discovery.

Your Egypt luxury private tour then continues in the Fayoum Oasis, one of Egypt’s best-kept secrets. The fertile land is fed by hundreds of capillary canals from the Nile. Sunflowers and date palms therefore dominate the landscape.

Fayoum is Egypt’s oldest city, as well as one of the most ancient in all of Africa. Surprisingly, however, tourists have yet to discover it despite its wealth of rich archeological sites. In addition, it boasts several fossil remains to explore, sand flats, and pristine desert. Settle in to Lazib Inn, a lavish boutique hotel set among manicured gardens on the shores of Lake Qaroun.

Egypt luxury private tours are incomplete without a visit to Cairo. Indeed, this city offers an undeniable wealth of culture and ancient history.

Without a doubt, the best way to uncover it all is with a private Egyptologist guide. With a private Egyptologist, touring the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the ancient capital of Memphis as well as the burial grounds at Sakkara becomes a highly personalized experience. Wander through the museum, a treasure trove of rare cultural pieces. And for a deep dive into current Egyptian culture, try your hand at bargaining in the Khan el Khalili Bazaar. It’s the oldest and most lively in the Egypt.

Your Egypt luxury private tour finally concludes along the Nile River. Split your time between the Sofitel Winter Palace Luxor and the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan, both favorites of Agatha Christie. Indeed, from the Sofitel Winter Palace in Luxor she penned her novel Death of the Nile.

All along the Nile River explore several temples and antiquities. For example, in Luxor, you will visit the Temple of Karnak as well as the Temple of Luxor.

And finally, en route to Aswan, stop at Efu and Kom Ombo to visit their well-preserved temples. Then set out on a tour of the High Dam and the Temple of Philae on the Island of Agilkia, from Aswan. Cap off your time in Egypt with an afternoon sail by felucca around Elephantine Kitchener’s island.
