Purposeful sightseeing tour
A question for experts on Egypt - are there tours exclusively to the sights of Egypt? And then everywhere I look, they seem to be attached to the rest in resort towns. I am interested in such that in one trip to visit Cairo and Luxor - preferably 2-3 days per city. Of course, I would like to take a ship on the Nile, but you can also take a bus.

I advise you to take the cheapest last-minute tour to Egypt, for example, now I saw an offer in the region of $ 300, so it will be cheaper than a flight, if taken separately, well, there is a base from where you can go on excursions. The route itself must be compiled with local firms and take excursions from them.
I have been friends with Ibrahim from Marwan Tours for a long time. He organizes very inexpensive standard excursions, but most importantly, you can agree on an individual route. He has a number of blogs on his site, about individual trips to Sakara and other places near Cairo, to Cairo itself and Alexandria, to Luxor, Dendru Abu Simbel.
I personally was in Cairo and also visited the pyramids of Djoser Red and a number of others, which are usually not taken on standard excursions.
We were also on a Nile cruise. I liked it very much.
And it cost us less than offers from tour operators. Although we took a tour separately, it’s true, it’s not expensive, because I don’t like to sit in a hotel.

To be honest, I would like from a tour operator - just to read and choose an offer.

hallo,
we are also going to Egypt soon, and I was interested in an individual approach to excursions. Please write me the specific name of the site Marwan tours, I would like to read everything in more detail there.
Thank you.

gostia, you better go to hurghada for this, because from there it’s closer to luxor than from sharm, + it’s not difficult for you to make such a tour, you just need to find the right people and make an ind program. tour and go, and even better vezed on its own, if you know at least a little English you will not have problems, + many people already speak Russian here. And there are cruises on the Nile from Hurghada, everything is possible if desired. But independent travel in Egypt is always cool, on your own, no one pushes you, slowly, I read everything about such trips with pleasure.

There are such tours. But they are expensive. Arrival to Cairo. Trip to Alexandria. Cruise on the Nile (Luxor ibid.). Departure from Cairo. The flight is expensive. Ship back and forth. Hotels in Cairo and Alexandria. All this is money. One flight to Cairo and back will cost as much as a week tour to Hurghada.

I understand that it is expensive, but still we aimed to devote the next vacation to active sightseeing, and not to a beach holiday. Therefore, I am looking for a tour where both Cairo and Luxor would be - for several days. Well, swimming on the liner is also interesting :)

So your agency can't offer you anything?

Actually, I'm interested in the experience of not only my tour operator. And his proposals do not suit me. I found the most suitable one from a small local tour operator, which is in St. Petersburg, but I need a flight from Moscow, or to the extreme - from Kyiv.

There are such tours, for example; Egypt (Alexandria, Aswan, Cairo, Luxor, Hurghada) yes, they are not cheap, almost $ 1000, but there you just relax and enjoy Egypt in peace. In order to move around Egypt on your own, well, at least you need to speak English very well, and this is not very safe, and I'm not sure that it will be so much cheaper. All info can be found on vacation.com

and if you try a cruise on the Nile? there are visits to all the sights. But in general, we ourselves went without a tour operator. so cheaper

There was such an author, I recommend writing off, his review is the most memorable topic of a non-beach holiday (but I think it’s from an overabundance, just a water holiday of previous trips), I traveled with S7-Murat777:

I don't know why, but I didn't find a Nile cruise that included both Luxor and Cairo. For some reason, the majority is based on living in Hurghada, and from there for a day or two on excursions. Although it seems to be logical - to fly to Cairo, take a boat in Cairo and go down to Luxor, living on a boat and visiting everything along the way. But alas, I don't see it yet.

Please open the site Hot deals and tours http://www.otpusk.com/search/eg/ and at the very bottom there are Selected excursion tours to Egypt. Now there is one proposal, but there were several.
аватар gostia
Thanks a lot everyone :)
Looks like now I can choose what I wanted :)
аватар gostia
oops, why did they remove one of the components in with links? Just above my above post was :(

57888-links in the questions and answers to Turpravda are prohibited. Especially if these are links to tourist resources.
So do not worry if these are deleted. If you want to give the author of the answer the pleasure of reading them, send them in a personal.
Take this opportunity to.....
I would very much like to see from the administration the rules for writing answers, comments, reviews?

I'm sorry, I didn't know...
аватар admin
The rules are clear and simple.
We do not place links to similar (i.e. competitive) resources and explicit or hidden advertising.
Perhaps we will write these rules.
