This private Egypt tour is perfect for travelers wanting to see the highlights of the country, including the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens, in a limited amount of time. Artisans of Leisure travelers are escorted throughout Egypt by one of the country's top private Egyptologist guides and have their own private drivers in each location.
Begin in Cairo with a private excursion to the Pyramids of Giza, a world-renowned and UNESCO-listed burial complex that includes pyramids, tombs, temples, the Solar Boat and the Great Sphinx. Also visit the even older pyramids of Dahshur and Saqqara. If desired, enjoy a camel ride by the Pyramids of Giza, and perhaps see the interiors of the Great and Bent pyramids.
Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange VIP experiences such as exclusive access to well-preserved tombs that are not open to the public and after-hours private tours of major sites such as the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza.
Next, fly to Luxor, a bustling town built on the site of the ancient capital city of Thebes. During private touring, visit Luxor Temple and the Karnak complex, Medinet Habu, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, including the tombs of King Tut and Ramses VI. We will also arrange access to the spectacular tombs of Seti I and Queen Nefertari.
Return to Cairo to continue private touring. Visit the most interesting cultural attractions in the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, such as the Citadel, the Egyptian Museum and the Hanging Church. Tour our favorite neighborhoods, which are filled with beautiful Fatimid, Islamic, Mameluk, Ottoman, Coptic and Art Deco architecture. See well-preserved medieval residences formerly occupied by wealthy merchants. Walk through fascinating markets such as the renowned Khan al-Khalili bazaar. Also visit smaller and lesser-known museums dedicated to Islamic art, applied arts and Egyptian culture. If desired, we can arrange visits to Cairo's top boutiques and reservations at the best restaurants in town. One evening, enjoy a fun dinner cruise on the Nile.

Our Egypt trip was amazing. We met many other travelers, and all were envious of our tour and the fact that we had our own Egyptologist on board with us!
