Trips to Egypt
I will always be struck by the power of its history, but also by the daily life that revolves around the Nile, by the diversity of the landscapes – from the desert to the oases – and by the quality of the encounters. Egypt is a destination that is felt as much as it is visited. To reveal its full richness, a tailor-made trip to Egypt is essential: it allows you to take your time, adapt the pace and go beyond the most famous sites.
This is precisely why Shanti Travel is particularly well-suited to designing tailor-made trips to Egypt.
At Shanti Travel, we draw on our expertise and a carefully selected local agency in Egypt to create private tours in Egypt, far removed from standardised itineraries. Every personalised trip to Egypt is thought out in detail: a balanced itinerary, high-quality charming accommodation, support from English-speaking guides, and seamless logistics.
Our role is to help you design a tailor-made trip to Egypt that suits you, true to the Shanti Travel spirit: an authentic journey, at your own pace, rooted in the reality of the country and in meaningful encounters.

Trip to Egypt: 7 good reasons to go
-
One of the most fascinating civilisations in history
A cultural tour of Egypt offers a unique immersion in one of the world’s greatest civilisations. From the Pyramids of Giza to the monumental temples of Luxor and Aswan, each site tells a story spanning several millennia of history and beliefs. -
The Nile: the thread running through a journey out of time
A cruise on the Nile is one of the highlights of a trip to Egypt. Whether on a traditional boat or a dahabieh, the journey reveals another side of the country: Nubian villages, palm groves, scenes of daily life and temples accessible only from the river. -
A grand journey at the gateway to Europe
Thanks to well-organised logistics and the guidance of an English-speaking guide, Egypt is an ideal destination for a first tailor-made trip outside Europe. Distances are well managed and the infrastructure is suited to a private tour of Egypt. -
Surprisingly varied landscapes
A tailor-made trip to Egypt is not limited to ancient sites. White Desert, Fayoum Oasis, Nubia, the banks of the Nile or the Red Sea: the diversity of the landscapes allows you to combine culture, nature and relaxation within a single itinerary. -
A perfect destination for a family holiday
Egypt is particularly well suited to family holidays. The discoveries are fun, the distances reasonable, and the activities varied: gentle cruising, workshops, cultural encounters, and swimming in the Red Sea. A family trip to Egypt leaves lasting memories for all generations. -
Meaningful and sincere encounters with locals
Travelling in Egypt also means meeting its people: Nile boatmen, artisans, and residents of Nubian villages. These local encounters give an authentic trip to Egypt a human and heartfelt dimension. -
A new dawn for bespoke travel
Long associated with mass tourism, Egypt is now revealing itself in a new light. By prioritising bespoke itineraries, less-visited sites and a more leisurely pace, responsible travel in Egypt comes into its own.

Our tailor-made trips to Egypt are designed to suit your pace. They include the major iconic sites of the Giza pyramids, Luxor, Aswan and the Nile Valley, whilst also making plenty of room for more intimate experiences: Nubian villages, oases, leisurely cruises or local encounters.
Every personalised trip to Egypt is fully flexible: with or without a guide, with a private driver, flights included or not, nights on a traditional boat or in onshore accommodation. The aim is simple: to offer you a seamless, comfortable and deeply enriching experience.
A country with many faces, to be explored region by region
A trip to Egypt is not limited to a single experience. The country offers an exceptional diversity of landscapes, atmospheres and cultures.
The Nile Valley is home to the greatest sites of antiquity, from monumental temples to scenes of daily life on the riverbanks. The desert, whether the White Desert or oases such as Fayoum, reveals a more arid and tranquil side of Egypt. Nubia, in the south, charms with its peaceful atmosphere and the richness of its encounters. As for the Red Sea, it offers a relaxing break surrounded by nature, ideal at the end of a trip.
This is why it is often said that there is no single trip to Egypt, but an infinite number of ways to discover it. A lifetime would not be enough to explore all its facets, as each region has its own distinct identity.
