How to Travel Egypt on a Budget?

Budget travel in Egypt doesn't mean stripping the experience down to the bare essentials. It means spending where it matters most and traveling smarter. Our budget Egypt tours are designed around the experiences you came to Egypt for, with licensed Egyptologist guides, comfortable hotel stays, air-conditioned transportation, airport transfers, included entrance fees, secure booking, and 24/7 local support.

Choose between group and private Egypt budget tours, with different hotel categories and group sizes to find the right balance of comfort, flexibility, and cost. 

Most budget tours in Egypt run for 5 to 9 days, combining Cairo’s Pyramids of Giza and Grand Egyptian Museum with the temples and tombs of Luxor, the temples and Nubian villages in Aswan, and unforgettable Nile cruise or felucca sailing experiences. Some affordable Egypt tour packages add day tours to Abu Simbel, Alexandria, Sharm El Sheikh, or Hurghada.

How much does a 1-week trip to Egypt cost? There is no single price; prices vary depending on your travel dates, hotel category, group size, transportation, and inclusions. Our 7-day Egypt budget tours start from $650, while an 8-day Egypt budget tour or a 9-day Egypt itinerary costs more as you add extra days, accommodation, and experiences.
