Private Egypt Tours
Our private Egypt tours are tailor-made around your dates, interests and preferred pace. Your party travels with a private vehicle and driver, while a licensed Egyptologist guides your included sightseeing. There are no shared coaches and no fixed group departure dates.
Every itinerary is a starting point, not a rigid schedule. Spend longer at the sites that fascinate you, choose accommodation that suits your comfort level and combine Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, the Nile, the desert or the Red Sea in one carefully planned journey. Egypt Encompassed’s local team coordinates the details and provides support throughout your trip.

What “Private” Means on an Egypt Encompassed Tour
- Your party only: the vehicle and included guided sightseeing are arranged for you and your travel companions, not a group of strangers.
- A private Egyptologist: a licensed specialist explains the history in context and can adapt the visit to your questions and interests.
- Your dates and pace: depart when it suits you and plan days around your energy, priorities and flight schedule.
- A tailored route: adjust the destinations, hotel category, Nile experience and number of nights before confirming your trip.
- Local support: our Egypt-based team remains available throughout the journey, including 24/7 assistance while you travel.
Choose a Route, Then Make It Your Own
A First Private Journey Through Egypt
Combine Cairo and Giza with Luxor, Aswan and a Nile journey. This route suits first-time visitors who want Egypt’s essential archaeological sites without the pace or compromises of a large group tour. Compare our Egypt tour packages and use the one closest to your preferred duration as a starting point.
A Slower, More In-Depth Itinerary
Add Abu Simbel, Alexandria, Siwa Oasis, the White Desert or time on the Red Sea. A longer private itinerary makes it easier to balance major sites with quieter days, local encounters and time to enjoy each destination.
A Boutique Nile Sailing
Choose a luxury Dahabeya Nile cruise for a smaller-scale sailing experience between Upper Egypt’s temples and riverside communities. Your proposal will explain the route, number of nights, cabin arrangements and included sightseeing.
Egypt With Jordan or Saudi Arabia
Extend the journey beyond Egypt without planning separate trips. Our private Egypt and Jordan tours coordinate the international connection, local guides and overland arrangements in one itinerary.
How We Design Your Private Egypt Tour

- Receive a tailored outline. We propose a logical route with accommodation, transport, guided visits and optional experiences clearly identified.
- Refine the details. Adjust the pace, room types, destinations and experiences until the itinerary feels right for you.
- Travel with local support. Private guides, vetted drivers and our destination team coordinate the journey, with assistance available throughout your trip.
Private Egypt Tours From the USA: Planning Essentials
Long-haul travel needs realistic pacing. We can plan around flights from the United States, allow recovery time after an overnight journey and avoid overloading your first day. We can quote in USD and coordinate arrival and departure logistics around your international flights. Tell us if your group needs family-friendly pacing, dietary arrangements, adjoining rooms or accessibility-minded routing. Your written proposal will state what is included so you can compare the trip clearly before booking.
We also tailor journeys for travelers from Canada, Australia, the UK and Europe. Whether you call it a custom, tailor-made or bespoke journey, the practical promise is the same: a private Egypt tour built for your party rather than a place on a fixed group departure.
Private, Luxury or Small-Group: Which Style Fits You?
Choose a private tour when flexibility, personal guiding and a schedule for your party matter most.
Choose a luxury private tour when you also want upgraded hotels, premium room categories and a higher level of accommodation and onboard comfort. See our luxury Egypt tours.
Choose a small-group tour when a fixed departure and sharing the journey with other travelers are part of the appeal. Egypt Encompassed specializes in private, tailor-made travel, so we will not describe a shared departure as private.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are All Egypt Encompassed Tours Private?
Our tailor-made Egypt itineraries are arranged for your party rather than a shared coach group. The exact guiding, transport and cruise arrangements are listed in your proposal before you book.
Can I Change One of the Published Tour Packages?
Yes. Published itineraries are starting points. We can adjust the dates, pace, destinations, accommodation and experiences, subject to availability and local operating conditions.
Will I Have a Private Egyptologist Guide?
Private, licensed Egyptologist guiding is arranged for the sightseeing stated in your itinerary. Your proposal will explain the guide coverage and any destination-specific arrangements.
How Much Does a Private Egypt Tour Cost?
The price depends on the number of travelers, trip length, hotel category, transport, cruise choice, domestic flights and included experiences. Request a tailored quotation for a like-for-like price with inclusions stated clearly.
Are Private Tours Suitable for Families, Older Travelers or Solo Travelers?
They can be. Private travel allows the pace and logistics to be adapted more closely to the people traveling. Tell us about children, mobility requirements, dietary needs or other considerations at the planning stage so we can propose suitable arrangements.
When Should I Start Planning?
Start as soon as your travel window is reasonably clear, especially for peak-season dates, specific hotels, holiday periods or a preferred Dahabeya. We can still assess shorter-notice requests subject to availability. Compare regional conditions in our best time to visit Egypt guide before choosing your travel window.
