Low price transport in Egypt

On this page I will list all of trips I offer as part of my main tourprogram. Please check in often because I will frequently update the tours pages with new trips and discounts.

1.Abydos (& Denderah: optional)

Visit the splendid temple of Abydos and see some of the best reliefs in all of Egypt. If you wish, you can take the optional tour to the Hathor temple of Denderah. (Unfortunatly, driving to Abydos and Denderah must happen in police-convoi, due to safety regulations. There are convois leaving around 8 a.m)

E.£. 200-250

2.Esna

Visit a dazzling temple in the middle of town. If this picture can't convince, then what can? (Also with police-convoi. There are convois in the morning (9a.m.) as well as in the afternoon (3p.m.))

Esna temple

Edfu temple

Price negotiable depending on destination

Aswan

When you're visiting Luxor, why not consider a trip to Aswan? This typical Egyptian city is less popular than Luxor, but is just as nice. You can browse trough the city center or relax on a feluca with view over the cataracts. From Aswan, trips can be made to Philae, Kalabsha, the unfinished obelisk, the Aswan dam and Abu Simbel. Convois from Luxor to Aswan are twice a day, in te morning and the early afternoon.

Price negotiable, depending on destination

Alexandria

New Library

This delightful mediterranean city is easily accessable from Cairo ( a 3 hours' drive) and boasts some of the best tourist attractions from the Nile delta. Visit the creepy catacombs, visit the new impressive library, browse through ancient roman ruins or explore the ruins of the famous pharos 20m below sealevel.
