The practical details.

Tour Pricing per Person (Private Rates)

Solo Traveler: $88 | 2 Persons: $55 / person (Standard Rate) | 3 to 5 Persons: $45 / person | 6+ Persons: $39 / person. Children under 6 years are complimentary; children 6–11 receive a 50% discount. Includes private air-conditioned vehicle, licensed Egyptologist guide, and scheduled visits.

Clarify terrain and transport

Ask how much walking is involved and whether the route includes rough driving. Share back, neck, balance or mobility concerns so a suitable format can be considered.

Desert clothing

Wear secure closed footwear and bring sun protection, water and a layer for cooler conditions. Fine dust and changing temperatures can matter even on a relatively short outing.

Respect the hosts

Dress considerately, follow the host’s guidance and ask before photographing people. Hospitality is a locally coordinated visit, not a promise that a particular household will be available.

The written quotation takes precedence over this suggested programme. Check the final services, guiding arrangements and any optional costs before confirming.

Good to know.

What are the rates for different group sizes?

This tour is private. Rates start at $55 per person for 2 guests. Solo travelers pay $88 for dedicated transport and guiding, while parties of 3–5 pay $45 per person, and 6+ guests pay $39 per person.

Does this include quad biking?

No, not by default. Any motorized activity needs a separate suitability check, operating details and explicit inclusion in the proposal.

Will we have dinner in the desert?

Only if a meal is specified. Tell us about dietary requirements before confirmation; the basic route does not automatically include dinner or an evening show.

Is this suitable for young children?

Share their ages and needs. A short scenic visit may differ greatly from a rough-road or evening programme, so suitability is assessed against the actual proposed route.

Where will we be picked up?

Your hotel or an agreed meeting point. Your exact meeting details are agreed before travel.

How is my booking confirmed?

Send an enquiry first. We review availability and provide a written quotation with the itinerary, services, price and booking conditions. Sending the form does not reserve a service.

Keep exploring.
