Day by day plan

1. Day 1

   Nairobi to Cairo

   You fly from JKIA to Cairo in about five hours. Schedules change, so we confirm your flight in writing. A driver meets you at arrivals and takes you to your hotel. After check in, take an easy evening walk or eat near the hotel. Sleep early, because the pyramids start the next day. Egypt tour packages from Kenya start with this easy first evening.

2. Day 2

   Giza pyramids and Sphinx

   A guide takes you to the Giza plateau. You stand at the foot of the Great Pyramid, photograph the Sphinx and see the panoramic viewpoint. Then you visit the Grand Egyptian Museum nearby, where the Tutankhamun collection is shown. In the evening you shop for spices and silver at Khan el Khalili market.

3. Day 3

   Islamic and Coptic Cairo

   Spend the morning at the Citadel of Saladin and the Mohamed Ali Mosque. Then you visit Coptic Cairo, with its hanging church and old synagogue. Lunch is a plate of koshari, the national dish. The afternoon is free. You can add a Nile dinner cruise for an extra fee.

4. Day 4

   Fly to Luxor and board the ship

   Fly from Cairo to Luxor in about one hour 15 minutes. You board your Nile ship for lunch and your cabin. In the afternoon you visit Karnak, the largest temple complex in Egypt and Luxor Temple. At sunset Luxor Temple glows gold. Dinner and the night are on board.

5. Day 5

   Valley of the Kings and sailing to Edfu

   Cross the river to the West Bank. You enter the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, see the terraces of Hatshepsut Temple and stop at the Colossi of Memnon. After lunch the ship sails to Edfu. Spend the evening on the sun deck. The Nile is calm and the bank slides past slowly.

   Edfu and Kom Ombo temples

   A horse carriage takes you through Edfu town to the Temple of Horus, one of the best kept in Egypt. The ship then sails on to Kom Ombo. There you visit the twin temple of Sobek and Horus at sunset. Kom Ombo holds a small crocodile museum. You sleep on board.

   The ship reaches Aswan. You visit the High Dam and take a small boat to Philae Temple, set on its own island. In the afternoon you ride a felucca, a traditional sail boat, around Elephantine Island. You can visit a Nubian village for tea. Your last night on board is a farewell dinner.

8. Day 8

   Fly Aswan to Cairo and home

   Leave the ship after breakfast. An optional early trip to Abu Simbel is possible with an extra fee. You fly Aswan to Cairo and connect to Nairobi the same day, or we arrange a day room in Cairo. You land in Nairobi tired and full of photos. Ask us about an add on at the Red Sea.

Flights for Egypt Tour Packages from Kenya

EgyptAir and Kenya Airways fly Nairobi to Cairo. Flight time is about five hours. Cairo can be the same time as Nairobi or one hour behind, depending on the season. Fares have run from about USD 480 to 650 return. Departure times change by season, so we confirm yours. Many Egypt tour packages from Kenya run on EgyptAir because its schedule lines up with domestic flights.

Domestic flights to Luxor and from Aswan are short and booked for you. Baggage rules on domestic flights can be tighter than on the long haul, so we tell you the limit before you pay.

Egypt Visa for Kenyan Passport Holders

Kenyan passport holders normally need a visa before travel. Egypt offers an online visa and a sticker visa. Fees through agents have run from about USD 30 to 115, depending on the type. Rules change, so we confirm the current rule when you book. Egypt tour packages from Kenya depend on getting this step right, so we never ask you to pay for flights before the entry rule is checked.

• Passport valid for at least 6 months, with blank pages
• A clear colour passport photo
• Confirmed flights and hotel booking, which we supply
• A yellow fever certificate may be asked for on arrival from Kenya
• Send your documents on WhatsApp and we prepare the application

Best Months for Egypt Tours from Kenya

October to April is best. Cairo days run 18 to 26 degrees and nights are cool. December and January are busiest and priciest. Luxor and Aswan stay warm in winter. May to September is very hot in the south, often above 40 degrees, but ships and hotels cost less.

Ramadan changes the feel of the trip. Some sites shorten their hours and daytime eating in public is restricted. Check the dates when you plan Egypt tour packages from Kenya.

Safety and Etiquette in Egypt

Tourist areas are well policed and most visitors have no trouble. Expect friendly touts at the pyramids and in bazaars. Say a firm no thank you and keep walking. Agree prices before you ride a camel or a carriage. Dress modestly outside your hotel. Ask before photographing people. Check travel advisories before you fly. Egypt tour packages from Kenya follow this common sense.
