Eight days, four Egypts: the old city, the desert, the temples and the sea.
Grand Egypt is the whole country in eight days, in the order that makes sense on the ground: two days in Cairo, two in the Fayoum desert, two in Luxor and two on the Red Sea.
Every transfer is private, every ticket is bought, and the long drives are timed so you sleep through them. Gold is the full experience, with breakfast at 6901 and at Khufu’s facing the Pyramids, the inside of Menkaure’s pyramid, dinner over fire at Magic Lake, horse riding on the coast and a spa morning before you fly. Silver is the same core journey, with lighter costs on those extras.
We meet you at the airport. Then churches, a synagogue and the first mosque in Africa within a few streets of each other, the Cave Church carved into the Mokattam cliffs, and an evening in Khan El Khalili.
NightCairo — your hotel, not in the package price
A camel ride across the plateau, the Pyramids and the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and dinner cooked over fire at your table.
NightCairo — your hotel, not in the package price
Breakfast in Tunis Village, a pottery class, then three hours by dune buggy over the hills north of Lake Qarun, and a night at the Desert Glamp, in tents among the dunes facing the lake.
NightThe Desert Glamp (or Tunis Village in summer) — included
By 4x4 to the whale fossils of Wadi El Hitan and the lakes and waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan, then sunset and dinner at Magic Lake.
NightOvernight drive to Luxor — or a night in Cairo and a morning flight
A late start after the journey, then Karnak and Luxor Temple, a felucca to Banana Island at sunset and dinner above the Nile.
NightLuxor — your hotel, not in the package price
Sunrise from a hot-air balloon, the Colossi of Memnon, the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut’s temple, then dinner in a Luxor family’s home and a last night in Luxor.
NightLuxor — your hotel, not in the package price
An early private drive from Luxor to the Red Sea, then six to seven hours on a yacht: an intro diving class, two dives among the corals, lunch and unlimited drinks, and the white sand of Orange Bay Island.
NightHurghada — your hotel, not in the package price
Your own private speedboat to search for dolphins, snorkel with your instructor and stop in quiet lagoons, then a seafood dinner and the drive to Cairo for your flight.

Your Fayoum night at the Desert Glamp is already included. Everywhere else, hotels aren’t in the package price, so you’re free to stay wherever you like — or let us place you in one of our own apartments: tell us when you enquire and we’ll go through the options and prices with you.

Tents among the dunes, facing the lake, with breakfast and dinner made at the Bedouin outpost beside them. A quiet, eco-minded stay under open skies.
Included in your journey
Gold is the full Egyphoria experience. Silver is the same core journey — the same days, the same sites, the same private guide and car — with lighter costs in a few places: simpler breakfasts and dinners, and fewer extras.
Your Fayoum night at the Desert Glamp, our partner camp by the lake, is included (in summer it moves to Tunis Village). Hotels in Cairo, Luxor and Hurghada are not, so you can stay where you like — or ask us to arrange one of our own apartments or partner hotels.
It is a private vehicle with two drivers who take turns, so nobody drives tired. Day five starts late, around 12:30, so you can sleep in.
In the hottest months the Desert Glamp night is replaced by a night in Tunis Village. The price updates automatically for your dates.
