Choosing a small group tour in Egypt ensures a personal, immersive experience while exploring the country’s ancient monuments, vibrant cities, and scenic Nile River landscapes with expert guidance and convenience."

An Egypt small group tour travels with a group of typically 8–12 like-minded travellers led by a single licensed Egyptologist guide. Unlike private tours (where it is just you and your guide), small group tours offer a social experience, shared costs (lower prices per person), and the opportunity to meet other travellers from around the world — while still maintaining an intimate, high-quality experience.
 

Memphis Tours Egypt small group tours have an average group size of around 10 travellers. This is deliberately kept small to ensure a genuinely personal experience — you can always hear the guide clearly, ask questions freely, and visit sites without feeling part of a large, impersonal crowd.
 

Our small group tours cover all of Egypt's major landmarks: the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo; the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and Luxor Temple in Luxor; and the Philae Temple, High Dam, and Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples visited during the Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan.
 

Accommodation on small group tours is in 4-star and 5-star hotels in Cairo and Aswan, and a 4–5 star Nile cruise ship for the river segment. All hotels are centrally located and vetted for comfort, cleanliness, and service.
 

Yes, though family suitability depends on the age of the children and the tour departure. We recommend small group tours for families with children aged 10 and above. Younger children may find the pace and scheduling of a group tour less flexible than a private tour. Contact us to discuss the best option for your family.
 

Inclusions typically cover accommodation in 4–5 star hotels and a Nile cruise ship, all transportation (private coach, domestic flights or trains), a private Egyptologist guide for the whole group, entrance fees to all listed sites, daily breakfast, and full board during the Nile cruise segment.
 

The Nile cruise on a small group tour takes place on a 4–5 star cruise ship shared with other travellers (not necessarily only your group). The ship includes a restaurant with full board, a sun deck, a swimming pool, and a bar. Evening entertainment (folkloric shows, belly dancing, Tanoura performances) is typically included.
 

Our 8-day Egypt small group tour covering Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan with an Egyptologist guide is the gold standard for history lovers. For deeper exploration, a 10–12 day itinerary adding Abu Simbel, Islamic Cairo, Coptic Cairo, and Edfu Temple gives an even more comprehensive historical immersion.
 

Yes. Every day includes structured guided visits in the morning and free time in the afternoons or evenings. This allows you to explore markets, relax on the cruise sun deck, revisit a favourite site, or try a local restaurant at your own pace.
