Imagine having friends in Egypt. They speak the language, of course, and know all the ins and outs.
They'll meet you at the airport, check the train schedules and buy your ticket, get you to the station, and make sure that you have a comfortable room reserved at your next stop.


You'll look after yourself most of the time during your travels. But your friends will be on hand to answer questions, and lend a hand when you need one. With Egypt Your Way, you'll have those gracious friends-our local personnel.

They'll look after the essentials while you choose exactly what to see and when to see it. You'll have two nights each at hotels in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, breakfast included, as well as two exciting nights aboard the Nile Valley train. Beyond that, it's all up to you.

Gaze at the wondrous Sphinx and the Pyramids, and stay to bargain for a camel ride-you've got the time! Or join newfound friends for a dinner cruise on the Nile. Wander the bustling streets of Cairo, where a surprise awaits you at every turn. Or decide at the last minute to take a flying visit to Abu Simbel from Aswan. Our local personnel will always be available to assist with upgrades and optional tours, without a highly scheduled itinerary.

The King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid was not meant to be visited:
Getting to it is challenging, and once you enter, it is very difficult to turn back. The stone passage is only wide enough for one person. You must be in good physical condition, able to climb several flights of stairs, bend double, crouch and duck-walk for short distances. The King's Chamber itself is the world's most claustrophobic place, with dim light and heavy, hot, oxygen-poor air. There is no ventilation. If you are at all sensitive to claustrophobia or confinement, or if you have any sort of respiratory condition, for your own safety and the safety of others, you must not enter the pyramid because it is impossible to remove a person or to bring aid to them quickly
