This first-class holiday package is prepared for the high-end South African travelers who want to catch sight of Cairo’s landmarks, cruise the Nile in a five-star ambience from Aswan to the ancient city of Luxor, and then onto the sun, fun, and golden beaches of Hurghada on the Red Sea — all collated with flawless service, professional guides, and luxury accommodations.

  • The Package Comforts: Luxury hotels of Cairo and Hurghada, a first-class cruise on the Nile from Aswan to Luxor inclusive of accommodation, most meals, expert-guided tours, private transfers, and entrance to some famous spots of Egypt.
  • The Best of Both Worlds: Enjoy a five-star ambiance and get drenched in Egypt’s historic and cultural settings. Wander around ancient temple structures in the day and enjoy the comforts of your exquisite suite or cabin in the evening.
  • Egyptologist Experts: Your journey is enhanced by highly qualified guides who bring Egypt’s history to life with stories, context, and insider knowledge.

We booked the 10 days package with a Nile cruise and Harghada on Red Sea, all went well. Egypt united tours did a fantastic job. They upgraded our hotel from 3 stars to 4 stars Barcelo hotel, which we really appreciated specially during the pandemic... Our tour guide was well educated and he gave us lots of information about Egypt and the people. Egypt united is the best tour company.

This trip was such an unforgettable experience! It could not have been possible without my amazing tour guide- Sherif, driver- Muhammad, and representative- Tamir. I cannot stop talking about my trip and everything I have learned due to Sherifs extensive knowledge about the history (and there’s a lot). Not only is he the smartest, he is also the kindest person and will make sure to put you and your group first. He single handily made this experience something I will keep with me forever and will be forever grateful. Muhammad was also such a sweetie. despite the language barrier, he always had a smile to share and some candy to share! Our representative Tamir also handled everything beautifully and had me and my mother worry about nothing from the second we got off the plane! All these people truly made us feel like family. If you ever get the chance to go to Egypt I truly recommend booking with them, we felt safe the entire time and I can’t wait to go back!
