Holidaying in Egypt

Are you Curious to See the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt or go cruising down the Nile! If so, plan a trip to Egypt. You are offered many planned tours to Reizen naar egypte, enabling you to choose one of your budget and priorities.

But, you might ask why have proposed tours rather than go by yourself. A planned tour offers benefits, although it has its restriction too. Let's examine both:

• Such excursions are invariably less expensive than planning your independent trip.

• As it has a limited period, you can accommodate more sights.

• Since you form a portion of one huge group with an experienced and reliable guide, you feel much safer than if you were to travel independently, particularly when you are travelling there for the very first time.

• It is of excellent help and all the more enjoyable to see many historical sites in the company of a well-informed guide who speaks your language.

Drawbacks of a conducted tour

• Such excursions don't offer much flexibility. For examples, if you don't like to see temples, you won't have any choice but to watch out for such a tour.

• It is quite a practice for local tour guides to take the group to specific predetermined stores and restaurants which offer them reductions. You could be made to go to a perfumery store, though you may be the least interested in perfumes.

• Being a part of a large group gives the very little prospect of your meeting the regional people except people attempting to sell you specific products.

• Some tour operators attempt to include too much in their package, and barely leave any time for comfort or taking rest.

You may opt to get the best of both the worlds. Reach your destination a couple of days before your tour, thus gaining time to get over jetlag and get used to Egyptian way of life. You might even decide to over-stay after the tour and go for a few independent sightseeing. Some people opt to book many other small parts alongside their holiday tour, then blend these with some independent travel.

Basic Egyptian Tours 7 - 14 days -- Things to Expect

Cairo
No tour is complete without the addition of a few days from Cairo to go to its bazaars, the Pyramids, Egyptian Museum and the Sphinx. The beginning point and the terminal for most tours are Cairo, hence allowing you divide the sights between both time frames. You won't regret having spent at least 2 days on each end of your trip to adapt those.

Luxor
The next stop on any typical trip is Luxor. Luxor is the beginning point of some of Egypt's most fascinating archaeological sights and contains the Temple of Luxor, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings and Queens.

You would enjoy spending a minimum of two times in Luxor to visit all of the sights.

How the tour operator carries you from Cairo to Luxor is also an important aspect of the tour. If it's by bus, then make sure it's air-conditioned. The travel can be quite painful and hot.

Some tours offer to fly from Cairo to Luxor, thus saving time but that becomes more costly.

Many tours include train travel in their itineraries. Train journey from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan by instantly trains supplying berths is nice.
