Planning your Egypt holiday from the UK? At Egypt Best Vacations we are Egypt specialists based in Luxor, not a generalist package seller. We design every itinerary from the ground up, and our guides live and work here.
Our Egypt tours from UK cover every length and budget, from a short break in Cairo to a two-week journey through the Nile Valley, the Red Sea and the desert. Trips of two to six days run as private tours with your own guide and driver. Longer itineraries travel as small groups of no more than 16 guests, or privately if you prefer.
International flights are not included. You book the flights that suit you, and we meet you inside the arrivals hall and take it from there.
At Egypt Best Vacations, we’re making this magic even more irresistible with unforgettable Egypt deals on our most popular Egypt tour packages, Nile cruises, and day tours!

Egypt Best Vacations builds your itinerary around your chosen flights and arranges all transfers and internal flights within Egypt.
Yes, most UK citizens need a visa to enter Egypt. You can buy a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, or apply online in advance through the official Egypt e-Visa portal. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your date of entry. Egypt Best Vacations meets you on arrival and assists with the entry process at the airport.
For first-time visitors from the UK, Egypt Best Vacations recommends an escorted tour that combines Cairo with a Nile cruise, such as the 7 Day Egypt Tour with Nile Cruise (from $1,175) or the Best of Egypt: 8 Day Cairo & Nile Cruise by Air (from $1,275). These cover the Giza Pyramids, Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, and Aswan at a comfortable pace with expert Egyptologist guides.
The best time for a UK traveller to visit Egypt is October to April, when temperatures are mild and ideal for sightseeing in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan and for sailing the Nile. This makes Egypt a popular winter-sun escape from the UK. The Red Sea resorts of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh are warm and enjoyable year-round, and Egypt Best Vacations runs holidays in every season.
Yes. Combining Cairo, a Nile cruise, and the Red Sea is Egypt Best Vacations‘ most popular multi-centre holiday from the UK. The 10 Day Cairo, Aswan, Nile Cruise, Luxor & Hurghada tour (from $1,525) and the 11 Day Cairo, Hurghada, Luxor, Aswan & Nile Cruise (from $1,630) pair ancient sightseeing with beach time and snorkelling on the Red Sea.
Egypt Best Vacations offers both. Escorted tours from the UK take the planning pressure away with expert guides, seamless transfers, and a carefully paced itinerary, ideal for first-timers. Private and tailor-made holidays give couples, families, and small groups full flexibility on dates, pace, and interests, designed directly with an Egypt specialist rather than assembled from standard aggregator contracts.
Egypt Best Vacations specializes in the in-Egypt experience — hotels, Nile cruises, guiding, entrance fees, transfers, and internal flights between cities such as Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. International flights from the UK are usually arranged separately so you can choose the airport, airline, and fare that suit you best, and the land itinerary is then built around your flight times.
Egypt is generally safe for UK tourists, particularly in the well-visited areas of Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts. Egypt Best Vacations adds private guides, trusted hotels, airport meet-and-assist, and pre-arranged transport throughout. UK travellers are advised to check current Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) guidance before booking and travelling.
Most UK travellers choose between 7 and 12 days with Egypt Best Vacations. A week covers Cairo and a Nile cruise, while 10 to 12 days adds the Red Sea, Alexandria, or Abu Simbel — for example the 12 Day Cairo, Alexandria, Hurghada & Nile Cruise (from $1,805). Two-week and longer holidays combine the Nile, the Red Sea, and the desert for a complete journey.
All-inclusive Egypt holidays from the UK with Egypt Best Vacations bundle accommodation, meals, guided excursions, entrance fees, and transfers into one clear price, with no hidden extras. Nile cruise portions are typically full-board with guided shore excursions, so once you arrive in Egypt almost everything is taken care of.
Booking with Egypt Best Vacations means dealing directly with an Egypt specialist rather than a UK aggregator that assembles itineraries from standard contracts. The result is better hotels, locally based Egyptologist guides who know the sites intimately, genuinely tailor-made itineraries, and the flexibility to adjust your plans if something changes — a level of personal service price-comparison sites cannot match.
