The Journeys
Twenty-five private itineraries across Egypt. Prices are per person in euros and already include our guiding, entrance fees, lunches and private transfers.
Signature journeys
Two to fourteen days — five-star hotels, Nile cruises between Aswan and Luxor, honeymoon and family journeys, and Red Sea escapes to close the trip.
Egypt Icons & Nile Cruise
Our most complete journey: Cairo, Alexandria, a sleeper train south, and a three-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor — every layer of Egypt in one arc.
Egypt Highlights Deluxe
The headline acts of Egypt in seven days — the Egyptian Museum, Alexandria, the temples and tombs of Luxor, and the Pyramids of Giza.
From Pyramids to the Sea
A compact northern journey — the Egyptian Museum, Alexandria's Greco-Roman layers, the Pyramids of Giza and medieval Cairo.
Cairo to Luxor & Aswan
A fast, flight-included loop through Luxor and Aswan — Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Philae and the High Dam — out and back from Cairo.
Nile in Style: Aswan to Luxor
The essential Nile cruise, done properly — Philae and the High Dam, three nights afloat past Kom Ombo and Edfu, and Luxor's East and West Banks with your own Egyptologist.
Temples of the South
The deep-history heart of Egypt by private road journey — Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae, with time to actually absorb them.
Honeymoon on the Nile
Egypt as a honeymoon should be — private sunrise at the pyramids, a felucca at golden hour, three nights on the Nile and suites chosen for the view.
Family Egypt: Pyramids to the Nile
Egypt with children done right: short guided mornings, family-specialist Egyptologists, pool afternoons, and the moments no classroom can match.
Egypt Through the Lens
An itinerary built backwards from the light: early-access Giza at sunrise, Karnak before the crowds, balloons over Thebes and feluccas at golden hour.
The Grand Tour of Egypt
Our most complete journey: two capitals, a Nile cruise, Ramesses II's mountain temple at Abu Simbel, and four Red Sea days to absorb it all.
Cairo of the Eight Worlds
A deep, slow reading of the world's greatest layered city — its two museums, three faiths, medieval streets and the necropolis where the pyramid was invented.
Red Sea Retreat: Sharm El Sheikh
The Red Sea done with intent — a private reef-boat day in Ras Mohammed, a Sinai desert evening under the stars, and space left deliberately empty.
Dive the Red Sea
Six guided boat dives across the two best site groups in Sinai — Ras Mohammed and Tiran — with a PADI centre we have vetted, plus a shore warm-up.
Luxor Immersion
Luxor without the sprint: Karnak at opening, the Valley of the Kings before the heat, Hatshepsut's terraces and the Avenue of Sphinxes after dark.
Cairo VIP Short Stay
The essential Cairo, concierge-run: fast-track immigration, private plateau morning, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and lantern-lit Islamic Cairo by night.
Alexandria Overnight
Alexandria with its missing half restored: the Greco-Roman sites by day, then the corniche at dusk, seafood by the water and the morning light day-trips never catch.
Day tours & excursions
Self-contained full, half and evening tours from Cairo and Aswan — perfect on their own or as additions to a longer stay.
Fayoum Oasis
Lake Qarun, the waterfalls and dunes of Wadi El Rayan, the fossil whales of Wadi Al-Hitan and the potters of Tunis village — Egypt's wild, green other half.
Giza & the Grand Museum
The Great Pyramid, the panorama of all three pyramids, the Valley Temple and Sphinx, then the vast new Grand Egyptian Museum beside them.
Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur
Djoser's Step Pyramid, the open-air ruins of Memphis, and the Bent and Red Pyramids of Dahshur — the story of how the pyramid was invented.
Religious Cairo & the Citadel
The Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue and Abu Serga in Old Cairo, then Saladin's Citadel and the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali.
Cairo Museums
The treasures of the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, then the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and its Royal Mummies Hall.
Alexandria Sightseeing
The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, the Citadel of Qaitbay on the old Pharos site and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, with a seafood lunch.
Giza Pyramids & Sphinx
The Great Pyramid, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, the panoramic viewpoint and the Valley Temple with the Great Sphinx — Giza in a morning.
Cairo Authentic Food
A guided evening tasting of Cairo's best-loved dishes — koshari, ful and ta'meya, hawawshi and grilled pigeon, kunafa and basbousa, finished at a traditional ahwa.
Abu Simbel Private Excursion
Ramesses II's colossal rock-cut temples — carved into a Nubian mountainside, moved block by block above the rising lake, and still aligned to the sun.
What every journey on this page is
Every operator in Egypt uses the word luxury. These are the specifics behind ours — the things you can check, before you pay for anything.
A licensed Egyptologist, not a guide
Every journey is led by a guide licensed by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism with a degree in Egyptology. They are with you at the monuments, not waiting in the car park — and they are yours for the day, answering your questions rather than reciting to forty people.
Your party only
No shared coaches. No fixed departure dates. No strangers on your itinerary. If you are two people, the vehicle, the guide and the pace belong to two people.
Built around you, then written down
We design the itinerary from your interests and your dates — not from a catalogue page. You receive it in writing before anything is paid, and it changes as often as you want it to until it is right.
One price, itemised
The quote lists what is included and what is not, line by line, before you commit. Entrance fees, private air-conditioned transfers, your Egyptologist and lunch on touring days are inside the price — they are not add-ons revealed later.
Reachable while you travel
You have a direct line to the people who planned your journey for the whole time you are in Egypt — not a call centre, and not a number that stops answering after the deposit clears.
Time protected, not filled
A day with four sites crammed into it is a cheaper day to sell and a worse day to live. We plan around light, heat and crowds — the Valley of the Kings at opening, the Egyptian Museum when the coaches have gone — and we leave the afternoon alone.
Who this is for
- Travellers who would rather see four things properly than twelve badly
- Couples marking something — a honeymoon, an anniversary, a birthday that ends in a zero
- Families travelling across three generations, where pace and comfort decide whether it works
- Repeat visitors who have done the headline sites and want the ones nobody queues for
- Anyone for whom the difference between a good guide and a great one is the whole trip
Who it isn't for
- Anyone looking for the lowest price on a trip to Egypt — we are not the cheapest and do not try to be
- Coach tours, shared group departures and fixed itineraries sold by the seat
- Hostels, dormitories and hop-on backpacking routes
- Travellers who would rather organise the logistics themselves and value independence over service
- Trips built primarily around nightlife or a resort beach
On price, plainly
Kemet sits at the upper end of the Egyptian market and we are comfortable saying so. A private Egyptologist for a week costs what it costs; so does a car that is yours alone and a room that faces the river rather than the car park. What we will not do is quote low, then recover the difference through optional extras, shopping stops and an itinerary that quietly turns into a group. Every price on this site is a per-person starting point for a private journey, and the written quote that follows is the price you pay.
