Independent Egypt travel - Cruising the Nile

Independent Egypt travel... at your own pace

Egypt has become increasingly popular in recent years and it's easy to see why. It's warm beaches, rich culture and friendly locals are only a 5 hour flight away from the UK. Giza's mystical pyramids and Tutankhamun's tomb are fascinating, but Egypt also has far more to offer. During our independent Egypt travel adventures, you can take a step back in time and experience the Agatha Christie-style romance and excitement of the Nile. Instead of taking a standard Nile cruise on a crowded tourist ship, try our magical Nile voyage aboard a traditional wooden Dahabiya. For the ultimate 1001 nights experience, spend the night in a desert oasis surrounded by glowing lanterns beneath a blanket of bright stars. 

We specialise in independent Egypt travel, so your own personal driver and local transport will take you wherever you need to go during your trip. You'll sleep in enchanting Arabic hotels in traditional villages, quaint locally-run guest houses and authentic Bedouin desert tents. At the end of your trip, you can relax in a comfortable hotel with a swimming pool on the shores of the Red Sea. The slow pace of life and mesmerising diving and snorkelling opportunities make this the perfect place to end an Egyptian adventure. 

What does Egypt Travel Plan have to offer?

Egypt Travel Plan lets you put together your own unique, independent Egypt travel experience, by giving you a wide choice of bitesized Egypt adventure tours (modules) to choose from. These are short travel experiences lasting 3-4 days and they have been carefully created by our team of Egypt travel specialists. All of our travel specialists have a personal in-depth knowledge of Egypt, so they know all of the best spots to visit. Our accommodation options are selected based on authenticity, atmosphere and comfort. 

Most people who decide to travel through Egypt hire a car and driver for more flexibility during their trip. You can also get around using local transport such as trains and traditional wooden sail boats (feluccas and dahabiyas). During our desert adventures, a driver with expert desert-driving skills will take you through the desert in a rugged 4x4. Large distances are generally covered by domestic flights.

Aside from our independent Egypt travel modules, we also offer several Egypt itineraries. You can use them as inspiration, adjust them based on your personal preferences or simply book them off the peg. As you’re not paying for glossy brochures and a travel agent shop, we’ve managed to keep the prices affordable.
