8 days / 7 nights all inclusive: all domestic flights inside Egypt we arrange for you, private transfers, 5-star Mena House hotel with Pyramid views, 4-night Nile cruise aboard the Sonesta Star Goddess, licensed English-speaking guide included. Visa, taxes and guide gratuities included.
A truly all inclusive trip means that once you land in Cairo on day one, you have nothing left to pay beyond your passport. Our 2026 package covers absolutely everything - domestic flights inside Egypt, transfers, hotels, cruise, meals, guides, site entries, visa, water and even guide gratuities. Here is the full list, with no asterisks and no fine print:
Arrival in Cairo on your own flight to Egypt (about 4h30 from major European hubs). Late-afternoon arrival, and our service begins the moment you land. Our team meets you at the airport exit holding an SEV sign. Private air-conditioned transfer to the Marriott Mena House, a historic 5-star hotel at the foot of the Pyramids. Check-in to a Pyramid View room. Dinner at the 139 Pavilion restaurant with a direct view of the illuminated Pyramids. Overnight at the Mena House.
Buffet breakfast at the Mena House. Departure at 8am for the Giza plateau: Great Pyramid of Khufu, Pyramid of Khafre, Pyramid of Menkaure, the panorama of all 9 pyramids, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple. Panoramic lunch with Pyramid views. Afternoon at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), open since 2025 - the complete Tutankhamun treasure and the colossal statue of Ramesses II. Free evening. Overnight at the Mena House.
Airport transfer, direct flight Cairo → Luxor (about 1h). Welcome in Luxor, transfer to your ship the Sonesta Star Goddess 5-star, boarding at noon. Lunch on board. Afternoon: guided visit of Karnak Temple (the largest temple complex of antiquity, the avenue of sphinxes, the hypostyle hall with 134 columns) followed by Luxor Temple, illuminated in the evening. Dinner and galabeya party on board.
Buffet breakfast. Excursion to the west bank of Luxor: Valley of the Kings (3 tombs included, among them Ramesses IV, with Tutankhamun optional), the Deir el-Bahari Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon. Back on board for lunch. Sailing toward Edfu with sunset over the Nile from the upper deck. Dinner on board.
Wake up in Edfu. Visit the Temple of Horus by horse-drawn carriage (the most complete in Egypt). Back on board, sailing toward Kom Ombo. Visit the double Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to Sobek (the crocodile god) and Haroeris, at sunset - a magical moment. Nubian evening on board with a dance and music show, complimentary cocktail.
Arrival in Aswan. Boat excursion to the Temple of Philae, dedicated to Isis (saved by UNESCO and rebuilt on Agilkia Island). Visit the Aswan High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk. Afternoon felucca ride on the Nile, passing Elephantine Island and a Nubian village. Dinner on board.
Breakfast and morning disembarkation. Flight Aswan → Cairo (about 1h15). Transfer to your hotel for lunch. Afternoon: visit the famous Khan el-Khalili market (a medieval souk dating to the 14th century), the Al-Azhar Mosque and the El Fishawy café (300 years of history). Farewell dinner at a traditional Egyptian restaurant. Overnight at the Mena House.
Breakfast. Depending on your departure time, free time for shopping or an extra visit (Coptic Museum, Saladin Citadel as options). Private transfer to Cairo International Airport for your return flight home. Safe travels.
A historic hotel from 1869 (a former khedival palace), the only 5-star hotel set directly at the foot of the Pyramids - a direct view from your room. Pool, spa, fine-dining restaurants. A Pyramid View room is guaranteed in our package. Why this choice: nothing matches the feeling of sipping coffee facing the Pyramids at first light.
A 5-star Premium cruise ship renovated in 2023, 33 cabins, a fine-dining restaurant, an upper-deck pool, a lounge bar and a spa. Balcony cabins with a direct view of the Nile, a king-size bed and a marble bathroom. Why this choice: the ideal balance of high-end comfort and a human scale (vs liners with 120+ cabins).
Other ships available as an option if the Sonesta Star Goddess is sold out on your dates: Mövenpick MS Royal Lily 5-star, Oberoi Philae 5-star Luxury, Steigenberger Legacy 5-star. The price is adjusted accordingly.
We guarantee 12 departures in 2026 - roughly one per month. Departures run on Fridays. Your all inclusive price covers all domestic flights inside Egypt, private transfers, hotels, the Nile cruise, full board, your licensed guide and every site entry. You simply arrange your own flight to Egypt. For your exact rate by season, dates and party size, message us on WhatsApp and we send you a detailed quote the same day.

"An exceptional trip from start to finish. The team in Cairo met us at the airport, the English-speaking guide Karim knew the history in real depth and adapted the pace to our family. Pyramids at 8am with no crowds, an impressive GEM, a perfect 4-night cruise. I would do it again without hesitation." - Sophie L. · March 2026
"First trip to Egypt and clearly not the last. The value is unbeatable: 12 days all inclusive, with every domestic flight inside Egypt arranged for you. The Luxor-Aswan cruise remains one of the most beautiful travel memories of my life." - Marc D. · February 2026
"A Christmas and New Year trip to Egypt - we decided late, and the SEV team organized everything in under 10 days. New Year's Eve on board with a special dinner, perfect weather at 73°F while it was raining back home. No rip-offs at the sites, the guides kept the touts away from us. High-end service at a fair price." - Antoine M. · December 2025
