History that's still standing
The Great Pyramid of Giza is around 4,500 years old, and it's only the beginning. Temples, tombs and cities from every era are still here to walk through.

See Egypt with Egypt Knight Tours
From the Giza pyramids to the Nile, a quick look at what a day with our team feels like. Private Egypt tours, local guides and no stress.
Why Egypt
There's a reason it's on everyone's list
Egypt isn't one trip. It's dozens, and the right guide makes all the difference.
One river, endless stories
For thousands of years life in Egypt has followed the Nile. Sail it, see it from a felucca, and visit the temples that line its banks.
More than the pyramids
Museums, souks, desert, oases, Red Sea reefs and Mediterranean shores. One country, and no two days alike.
Sunshine and easy weather
Warm and sunny for much of the year, with the most comfortable sightseeing weather from October to April.
Heritage the world protects
Egypt is home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the pyramid fields of Memphis and the temples of Thebes and Nubia.
Hospitality you'll remember
Egyptians love welcoming guests. Expect tea, conversation and stories at almost every stop.

Don‘t miss this tour 🫶🏼
We did the 4 day 3 night tour from Aswan to Luxor. It was wonderful. Throughout the tour we were in contact with the tour operator and could write her anytime. Our guide Mr. Mahmoud was really knowledgeable, great in explaining things and also spoke with a vocabulary that everyone could follow easily. ☀️ Everywhere we were we were looked after and we didn’t have to care for anything. All the drivers were also were friendly and drove carefully. The cruise ship was also nice, the staff at Ciela was also very attentive and friendly. For us it was perfect to come during summer time, because there were less tourists everywhere (temples, cruise ship, number of people in tour) and the heat is absolutely managable. All in all, it was the perfect decision booking the Nile cruise with Egypt Knight Tours. This will be a great long-lasting memory for us. 🫶🏼
Breathtaking experience!
The tour on the cruise ship was a true dream. Whenever you thought after a sight that nothing could surprise you anymore, the next temple would take your breath away. Our guide Hussin made a great contribution to this, as he made our trip completely uncomplicated, provided us with all sorts of exciting facts, and always had a smile for us. Thank you very much!
