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.
An awesome short 4 day trip for travelers wanting an authentic experience to explore ancient Egypt, with very informative and well known tour guides who were always helpful throughout the tour. Both Sara and Sami were great! Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore Egypt. A great experience!
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!
Slow travel in Egypt means spending more time in fewer places, allowing you to truly absorb the culture, history, and atmosphere rather than rushing between sites. Instead of ticking off a checklist of landmarks, you linger in Cairo’s historic bazaars, sail the Nile at a relaxed pace, and connect with local life in Luxor or Aswan. Unlike standard group tours with packed schedules, slow travel gives you the freedom to revisit a temple at sunset, enjoy long meals at authentic restaurants, and discover hidden gems that most tourists never see.
For a meaningful slow travel experience in Egypt, we recommend at least 7 to 10 days. This gives you enough time to spend 3-4 days in Cairo exploring the pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, and the Islamic quarter at a leisurely pace, followed by 3-4 days in Luxor and Aswan discovering ancient temples without feeling rushed. A 14-day itinerary is ideal if you also want to include the White Desert, Siwa Oasis, or the Red Sea coast.
Several Egyptian cities shine especially bright for slow travelers. Cairo rewards those who take their time with its layered history – from ancient pharaonic sites to Coptic churches and vibrant Islamic architecture. Luxor, often called the world’s greatest open-air museum, deserves at least 3 days to explore its east and west banks fully. Aswan captivates with its laid-back Nubian culture and scenic Nile islands. For something completely different, Siwa Oasis offers a serene desert escape, while Alexandria blends Mediterranean charm with Greco-Roman heritage.
Our Egypt slow travel packages are thoughtfully designed to give you a deeper, more personal connection with the country. Expect guided small-group or private tours of iconic archaeological sites, authentic cooking classes with Egyptian families, leisurely felucca sailboat rides on the Nile, visits to local markets and traditional workshops, and curated culinary experiences at family-run restaurants. You’ll also have built-in free time to wander on your own, sip tea in a local cafe, or simply soak in the atmosphere at your own pace.
Absolutely. All of our Egypt slow travel packages can be tailored to your personal passions and travel style. Whether you’re a history enthusiast who wants extra time at the Karnak Temple complex, a foodie eager to explore local markets and take cooking classes, a nature lover interested in birdwatching along the Nile, or a wellness seeker looking for quiet desert retreats – we can design your itinerary around what matters most to you. Simply share your interests when you contact us and we’ll create a fully personalized slow travel experience just for you.
