Excursion of Egypt is a local travel company based in Luxor, in the heart of ancient Thebes. We design private tours, Nile cruises, day excursions and tailor-made journeys for travellers who want to understand Egypt, not just tick it off a list.
We live here. The guides who meet you at the temple gate, the drivers who know the quiet roads, and the team who answer your emails are people from Luxor and Aswan, and many of us grew up in the shadow of the monuments we now share with you.
Our story
We started with one simple belief: the best trips to Egypt are the ones shaped around the traveller. Over the years that belief has grown into a team that welcomes guests from the United States, the United Kingdom, Latin America and beyond, and takes care of every detail from the first email to the farewell at the airport.
What we do
- Egypt packages: carefully paced multi-day journeys covering Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and beyond.
- Nile cruises: a hand-picked selection of ships between Luxor and Aswan, from comfortable classics to five-star luxury.
- Day tours: private excursions to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Abu Simbel, the Pyramids and more.
- Shore excursions: well-timed, stress-free days ashore for cruise passengers.
- Tailor-made trips: tell us your dates, interests and budget, and we build the itinerary around you.
Why travellers choose us
Local knowledge. We are on the ground in Luxor every day, so we know which temple is quiet at dawn, which cruise suits which traveller, and how to avoid the crowds.
Private and personal. Your group travels with your own guide and vehicle, at your pace, with time to linger where you want to.
Honest advice. We will tell you which ship, hotel or route is right for you, and which is not.
One team, start to finish. The people who plan your trip are the people who look after you while you are here, and one message reaches us at any hour.
Clear pricing. What we quote is what you pay, with inclusions and exclusions written plainly on every tour and cruise page.
Our promise
We treat every guest the way we would want our own family treated in a country far from home. If something is not right, we fix it quickly and without argument.
Travelling responsibly
Egypt’s monuments and communities are a shared inheritance. We work with local guides, family-run restaurants and small businesses, we encourage guests to respect the sites and the people who live around them, and we keep our groups small so your visit leaves a light footprint.

Whether you already know exactly what you want or only have a dream of seeing Egypt, we would love to hear from you.
