Most Egypt tours try to fit five temples into a day. Our slow travel Egypt tours do the opposite. You visit one main site a day with your own private Egyptologist, arrive early before the tour coaches, enjoy a long lunch at a local restaurant, and have time in the afternoon to rest, swim or explore on your own.
The result is a deeper, calmer trip. You have time to stand in front of the Great Pyramid without being rushed, to spend a whole day with Tutankhamun’s treasures, and to sit by the Nile and watch the feluccas go by. You come home with real memories, not just photos.
Choose from private slow travel tours of 4 to 7 days, combining Cairo with Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Siwa Oasis, or the Red Sea, from $1,275 per person.
Slow travel means seeing fewer places, but seeing them properly. Instead of racing from site to site on a fixed group schedule, you spend more time in each place, travel at a comfortable pace, and leave room for the moments that make a trip special: a long conversation with your guide, a sunset felucca ride, or an afternoon by the hotel pool.
In Egypt, where summer days are hot and the most famous sites are busy by mid-morning, slow travel is also the smarter way to travel. Early starts and quiet afternoons mean cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and more energy to enjoy every day.
– Private tours: just you, your own Egyptologist guide, driver and car
– One main site a day, with time to see it properly
– Early starts, so you arrive before the tour coaches and the midday heat
– Long, unhurried lunches at local restaurants
– Free afternoons to rest, swim or explore at your own pace
– Comfortable 5-star hotels, so your downtime is as good as your sightseeing
– Optional extras arranged on the day, such as a sunset felucca, a camel ride or an evening in Khan El-Khalili

Hubby and I have wanted to visit Egypt for ages but did not want to go as part of a large group. Found Egypt Best Vacations on Facebook and was impressed with the range of options available. We wanted to see as much of Egypt as possible and Egypt Best Vacations was great at helping us book the most suitable holiday for us at a reasonable price.

Valley of Kings , Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple ,Felucca Ride in Aswan are very Good. Had wonderful time. The guide Mr.Essam Ali is Wonderful and Knowledgeable. He had taken very good care of us through our the trip at every place . We strongly recommend Mr.Essam Ali.
Great tour. Our guide Essam was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and articulated the tour well. Offering our group good advice on how to customize our tour based on our interests. He was sure to warn us on all potential scams aswell as unnecessary/non affiliated persons. He also went above by making our restaurant reservations for us.
We enjoyed our Egypt travels through Egypt Best Vacations. Essam is the best tour coordinator and guide one can find! I am so glad we found him because he made our trip memorable in so many ways! He was always able to make the tours fun by telling us stories of the past in engaging ways! He was always helpful and gave us honest guidance regarding all local experiences eg. How to behave with street vendors. You felt you could trust him and rely on him fully through the travel!
