Egypt Tours

The best time to visit Egypt is October to April, when temperatures are comfortable for exploring Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. December to February is peak season, so book early for the best cabins and hotels. Summer is very hot in Upper Egypt but still lovely on the Red Sea and Mediterranean coasts. For Siwa Oasis, aim for October to April.

Egypt's main tourist areas welcome millions of visitors every year and are well protected. On a Stamps tour, a dedicated host travels with you, all drivers and guides are vetted by our local team, and we monitor conditions throughout your trip. We always recommend checking your government's travel advisory before booking. For more detail, read our Egypt safety guide.

Seven to eight days is enough to see Cairo and the Pyramids and sail the Nile between Luxor and Aswan at a relaxed pace. With 10 to 12 days, you can add Siwa Oasis, the Red Sea or the Mediterranean coast. Our Egypt tours range from short Nile cruises to 12-day journeys, and any itinerary can be adjusted to fit your time.

Most first-time visitors should include Cairo and Giza for the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor for Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings, and Aswan for Philae Temple, ideally connected by a Nile cruise or dahabiya. If you have extra time, Siwa Oasis adds desert serenity, and the Red Sea adds beach and snorkeling days.

A private Egypt tour gives you your own guide, vehicle and schedule, so you set the pace and can adjust plans along the way. Group experiences, like our wellness retreats, share an itinerary with a small group led by a host or practitioner. Our Egypt tours are private by default, and every one can be customized.

Yes. Every Egypt tour we offer can be tailored to your dates, travel style and budget, whether that means adding nights in Siwa, upgrading to a private dahabiya or extending your trip on the Red Sea. Contact our team with your ideas and we will build an itinerary around you, with flexible payment plans available.
