Private & Tailor-Made Egypt Tours
Private Egypt journeys
Egypt at your own pace, with your own guide.
A private tour gives you your own Egyptologist guide, your own air-conditioned vehicle and driver, and a schedule built around you rather than a group. You start when you want, stay longer where something holds your attention, and skip what does not interest you. Egypt Travel Ways is based in Cairo and runs private day tours and tailor-made itineraries across the country, from the Pyramids of Giza to Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea.
Why go private
What changes when the tour is yours.
- Your own guide. An Egyptologist who answers your questions and adjusts the depth of explanation to you, whether this is your first visit or you know your pharaohs well.
- Better timing at the big sites. With your own transport you can reach the Pyramids or the Valley of the Kings early, before the heat and the tour buses.
- Comfort for families and older travelers. Rest stops, shorter walking days and child-friendly pacing are easy when the vehicle and guide are yours.
- Flexibility. Add a stop in Khan El Khalili, swap a museum for a felucca ride, or move a day if your flight changes.
- Privacy. Couples, honeymooners and small groups of friends get the experience to themselves.

Questions
Private tours in Egypt.
How much does a private tour of Egypt cost?
It depends on the length of the trip, the hotels, the season and the number of travelers. Private day tours start from around USD 55 per person, and you can see current prices on each tour page. For a multi-day trip, send us your plans and we will quote it.
Is a private tour worth it in Egypt?
For most travelers, yes. The main sites are spread out and busy, and a private guide and vehicle make the days shorter, calmer and more flexible. It is especially useful for families, older travelers and anyone who wants more depth at the sites.
Can a private tour start from my hotel?
Yes. Private tours include pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Tours from Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are also available.
How far ahead should I book?
For day tours, a few days is often enough. For multi-day trips in the busy season (October to April), Christmas and the August 2027 eclipse, book as early as you can so the best hotels and cruise cabins are still available.
Can you plan a trip for a large family or group?
Yes. We plan private trips for families, friends and small groups, and arrange a vehicle that suits the size of your group.
