How Much Does a Trip to Egypt Really Cost?
Egypt trip costs vary widely depending on hotel category, whether you add a Nile cruise, the season you travel, and how private you want your guiding and transfers to be. As a rough guide, a comfortable 8–10 day private trip combining Cairo, Luxor and Aswan — with a 4-star hotel, a deluxe Nile cruise, and a private Egyptologist guide — typically runs $1,800–$2,300 per person (double occupancy), before international flights.

Egypt Trip Cost — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private Egypt tour cost per person?
Most private, tailor-made Egypt tours run between $1,200 and $3,500 per person for 7–10 days, depending on hotel star rating, whether a Nile cruise or dahabiya is included, and the level of private guiding. Small-group budget tours can go lower; luxury dahabiya cruises with a dedicated Egyptologist sit at the top end.
What's included in the price of an Egypt tour package?
A typical EZ Tour Egypt package price includes hotel accommodation, private air-conditioned transfers, entry tickets to sites, and a licensed Egyptologist guide. It usually excludes international flights, visas, tipping, and optional add-ons like a hot air balloon ride.
Does adding a Nile cruise increase the cost a lot?
A 3–4 night Nile cruise typically adds $300–$900 per person depending on the ship category (standard 5-star, deluxe, or a private dahabiya sailboat) — but it replaces several nights of hotels and transfers, so the net difference is smaller than it first looks.
What's the cheapest time of year to visit Egypt?
May–September (summer low season) generally offers lower hotel and cruise rates than the October–April winter peak, when demand from European and American travelers is highest. Shoulder months like April, May and October often balance good weather with lower prices.
