    Answers of the questions you're thinking about

    Have a Question?

    To see Egypt's highlights comfortably, 8 to 10 days is ideal. This allows you to visit Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, and enjoy a Nile cruise — just like the Horus Voyage tour. It offers a balanced Egypt trip itinerary that combines culture, history, and relaxation.

    Traveling throughout Egypt, it is hard to miss out on the pyramids and the museum of Cairo, where one can also enjoy a cruise on the Nile, traveling between Luxor and Aswan, visiting the many important temples Karnak, Hatshepsut, and Philae.

    Respect Egypt Tours provides expertly designed trips escorted by licensed Egyptologists, exclusive vehicles for transfer, and full “meet and assist” service from arrival and departure. Hands-on care paired with trusted local wisdom makes for a truly spectacular Egypt trip.

    Yes, 7 days in Egypt is enough to explore Cairo and either Luxor or Aswan, but to experience a Nile cruise and more in-depth history, 8 days or more is recommended. The Horus Voyage is an 8-day tour that ensures you don’t miss the essentials.

    Absolutely, considering most itineraries for Abu Simbel go up to 10 days. Spending more time in Cairo’s bazaars or even adding a Red Sea extension are all possible too. However, 8 days like in the Horus Voyage itinerary do work wonders for tighter schedules while hitting all the essential highlights.

    Absolutely. When considering how the Nile Cruise packages are structured, including sailing between Edfu and Kom Ombo to Aswan with full board service, it’s one of the best ways to enjoy Ancient Egypt. It combines travel with sightseeing in one seamless experience, just like featured in our Horus Voyage itinerary.
