The quietest way
through Egypt

For guests who want Egypt entirely to themselves: families marking something once-in-a-lifetime, hosts bringing a large private party, and travellers who simply do not want to share a site, a boat or a schedule with anyone. It is not defined by a title — it is defined by wanting the whole arrangement private, and being unhurried about how it is built.

Named sites can be reserved for a single party and closed to other visitors for the duration of the visit. This is a permitted arrangement in Egypt, granted case by case by the antiquities authorities, and it needs lead time — typically four to eight weeks, longer in peak season. It is not the same as an after-hours opening, and we will tell you before you commit which specific sites can be secured for your dates rather than promising a category.

Yes. Nannies, assistants, a photographer, a personal trainer or anyone else travelling with the party are planned for from the start — their rooms, their transport and their access at each site — so the journey works for the whole household rather than just the guests named on the booking.

Nothing about who you are, when you travel or where you go is discussed outside the small team delivering the journey, and no VIP itinerary is ever used as marketing material or shown to another client. If you would like that in writing, we are happy to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Yes. Private aircraft arrivals are handled through the VIP terminal with meet-and-greet at the aircraft door, immigration and customs cleared away from the public halls, and vehicles positioned airside where permitted. Internal movement between Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel is by private aircraft on your hours rather than on a schedule.

Because a published figure would be wrong for almost everyone reading it. A dahabiya charter, a private aircraft leg and an exclusive site reservation are each quoted by date, by party size and by what is genuinely available that week. You receive a written outline first, a figure second, and nothing is committed until both are agreed.

One person, from the first conversation to the last day in Egypt. The individual who designs the programme is the individual who answers while you are travelling — not a call centre, not a rota, and not a number that stops answering once a deposit clears. Where a family office, private secretary or executive assistant is managing the arrangements, they deal with the same person throughout.

For exclusive site reservations and full dahabiya charter, allow four to eight weeks as a minimum and considerably longer for the October-to-April season, which is when both are most contested. Shorter notice is sometimes possible; what changes is which elements can be secured, and we will say plainly which ones can and cannot rather than accepting a booking we cannot deliver in full.
