Each stage shows its price and basis: group travel, a private trip for two or solo. We then prepare your complete quote based on your dates, travellers, rooms, connections and extras. Seasonal supplements are shown with the relevant stage prices.

The €300 mandatory fees per person are already included in the cruise price: €170 for ports and marine parks, €50 for airport transfers and an €80 crew contribution. How these fit with your combined-trip transfers is detailed in the quote.

International flights are not included. We advise you on airports and dates.

Can Siwa be combined with a week in Sataya?

Yes, with enough time for the journey. Siwa is reached from Cairo with around nine hours on the road each way. The four-day programme includes three nights in the oasis; transition nights in Cairo and the Red Sea connection are arranged separately. We check the full schedule before confirming.

Can I visit Luxor without a Nile cruise?

Yes. The three-day, two-night Luxor stay lets you visit the temples and Valley of the Kings while staying in a hotel. The four-day, three-night Aswan–Luxor cruise is a different option with accommodation aboard. Choose either in the River section.

Do I need to choose all four stages?

No. Cairo, the Nile, the desert and the Red Sea can be combined to suit your wishes. Choose just one stage or several. Your selection is a starting point: we agree the order, connections and duration together.

How does a quote request work?

Your chosen stages, options and cruise departure are automatically included in the form. Share your contact details and wishes and we will prepare a personalised proposal with no obligation. You can also contact us before choosing any stages.

What does the trip price include?

Each stage shows its public price and basis: per person, in a double or single room, or in total for two travellers. Inclusions and exclusions are listed for each stay. Your combined-trip quote takes account of dates, travellers, connections, transition nights and extras; flights and visa are excluded. The Red Sea departure price already includes €300 in mandatory fees per person: €170 for ports and marine parks, €50 for airport transfers and an €80 crew contribution.

Are prices the same on every date?

Any seasonal supplements and their periods are shown with each stage’s prices. Group trips require the stated minimum number of participants. Your quote confirms the price and availability for your dates, along with single-room, triple-room and child arrangements. A dated offer does not automatically apply to another departure.

Are international flights included?

International flights are not included. We advise you on arrival and departure airports for your itinerary. Any domestic flights and transfers in Egypt are arranged with you and specified in the quote before booking.

How should I choose my dates?

Tell us your preferred travel period, even approximately. Land stages are tailor-made; if you add a shared Red Sea cruise, the trip is arranged around an available departure. We advise you on timing based on your chosen stages.

Do I need to know how to scuba dive?

No. You can explore the reefs by snorkelling with fins, a mask and a snorkel. You should feel comfortable in the water. Introductory and scuba dives with instructors are optional. Dolphins are wild: outings respect their space, resting periods and sea conditions. Encounters are not guaranteed.

What guidance is provided?

French-speaking support is arranged for each stage: an Egyptologist for cultural visits, a local desert team, and crew and dive instructors for the Red Sea. Your proposal details the arrangements.

Can we travel as a couple or with friends and family?

Yes. Land stages are tailored to your group. On the Red Sea, you can join a shared departure or discuss a private charter. Include your group size in your request so we can suggest the right option.
