Egypt solo tours

Get lost in Egypt (in all the right ways)

The excitement of cruising down the Nile at sunset or seeing the Pyramids of Giza for the first time is far too big to keep to yourself. If you've always dreamed about travelling to this bucket-list destination but you're not keen on going solo, then our small group tours are for you. As well as a local leader to handle the logistics, take you beyond the iconic sites and help you unlock the mysteries of this fascinating country, you'll have a bunch of ready-made (and adventure-keen!) friends to share all the memories with. Are you in?

Our Egypt solo trips

Why choose us

Intrepid travellers and leader jump for joy in front of the Pyramids at Giza
Ready made friends

Call us biased, but we think one of the best parts of travelling is making new memories with people just as hungry for adventure as you are. That's the beauty of a small group trip. There'll be plenty of time to do your own thing if you want to, but you'll always have someone to snap a photo of you with the Pyramids, grab a coffee or chat with on an overnight sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan.

Egypt's history is so rich that it can be hard to know where to start. With a local leader by your side, you'll have an on-tour history expert ready to answer your burning questions and help you uncover the mysteries of the Pyramids, Sphinx and the Valley of the Kings. They'll also introduce you to locals, show you hidden hangouts and give you top-notch recommendations for your free time.

Safety

Egypt is generally a safe place to travel to, as long as you keep your wits about you and adhere to the status quo. Crime rates are low, but be aware of scam artists and pickpockets in busy souqs and tourist hotspots. Your local leader knows the areas and tourist traps to avoid, will get you from A to B smoothly, and will let you know the do's and don'ts of local customs.

Logistics and convenience

Anxious about sleeper trains? Or not sure how to organise a felucca cruise? No worries. When you travel with us, we'll take care of all the planning and logistics so you don't have to (there's enough admin to do in everyday life, right?). All you need to do is rock up with your camera and a sense of adventure.

Our 7 full days of Egypt exceeded expecting and put this down to our fantastic guide Ahmed. His knowledge and organization was exceptional. Well versed and comical. Great English. would recomend this trip. Balloon ride over The valley of rhe Kings was awesome but they need to tighten the times standing around waiting to board and disembark, especially if you have a full day ahead of you.

An amazing and very memorable trip visiting the incredible sites in Egypt! Not only did we see the main sites but we got to immerse ourselves in some traditional Egyptian experiences with a very knowledgeable and passionate guide, Mohamed! It also helped that we had an awesome travelling group!
