When discussing luxury travel on the Nile River, there are two types: the ordinary Luxury Nile ship and the most luxurious option, the dahabiya Nile Cruise.

Our Recommendation for a Luxury Nile Cruise:

Our Recommendation for a Luxurious Dahabiya small ship

Opting for a four-night voyage guarantees ample moments to marvel at the Nile's eminent attractions like the renowned Karnak and Abu Simbel temples. Yet, if you prefer a more unhurried pace, embark on a seven-night expedition, uncovering a plethora of lesser-known gems such as Dra Abu Nag and the awe-inspiring Medinet Habu.

Yes, indeed! Visitors have the opportunity to venture into the inner chamber of the great pyramids of Giza. However, it's essential to note that each pyramid requires the purchase of a separate ticket for entry. So, if you're eager to explore these ancient marvels up close, be sure to plan accordingly and acquire the necessary tickets beforehand.

Indeed, a tourist visa is imperative for U.S. passport holders, and we at Your Egypt Tours recommend acquiring an electronic visa (eVisa) for seamless travel arrangements. For your eVisa, you can visit this website and apply online at: visa2egypt.gov.eg/eVisa/Home.

In Egypt, you can take pictures in most places you will visit, except for the burial chambers of the pyramids, inside the Egyptian Museum (but you can take pictures outside of Museum which has many monuments and statues), the Valley of the Kings, as well as police and military check points.

Here is a list of basic Egyptian Arabic phases. My recommendation would be to learn the ones I highlighted for you:

*Hello - Ahlan wa sahlan
*Good bye - Salam
Good Morning - Sahab el-kheir
Good Evening - Masaa el-kheir
How are you? - Izayak(m) Izayek (f)
Fine - Kiwayess (m)/ Kiwayessa (f)/ Kiwayessin (g)
Ilhamdoulilah (The standard reply)

My name is ..... - Ismi .....
What's your name? - Ismak (m)/Ismek (f) eih?

Welcome - Ahlan wa sahlan
Standard reply to a male - Ahlan bik
Standard reply to a female - Ahlan biki


*Yes - Aiwa
*No - La
Thank you - Shukran
*** No Thank you - La shukran (useful word to avoid being bothered by vendors!)

What They Say about Us

Our Happy Customers

Travel has helped us to understand the meaning of life and it has helped us become better people. Each time we travel, we see the world with new eyes.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
