🔒 Is Egypt safe for solo female travelers?

Yes, especially when traveling in an organized, small group. Egypt is heavily invested in tourism safety, with dedicated tourist police at all major sites. Traveling with a curated group of women provides a built-in safety net, allowing you to enjoy the bucket-list sights with complete peace of mind.

🛂 Do I need a visa for Egypt, and how do I get it?

Most travelers (including US, UK, Canada, and EU citizens) require a tourist visa. You can easily purchase a 30-day single-entry Visa on Arrival directly at the Cairo airport for $25 USD in cash. Alternatively, you can apply for an official e-Visa online up to 7 days before departure.

👗 What is the dress code for women in Egypt?

While Egypt is a conservative country, tourist sites are very accustomed to travelers. Out of respect and for comfort, we recommend loose-fitting, breathable fabrics. Aim to keep your shoulders and knees covered when out in public (maxi dresses, linen pants, and t-shirts are perfect). A light scarf is also great to keep in your day bag for visiting mosques.

✈️ Which airport should I fly into, and are transfers included?

You will need to book your international flights into Cairo International Airport (CAI). To make your arrival completely stress-free, airport pickup on March 21 and drop-off on March 30 are fully included in the trip price.

💵 What is the local currency, and should I bring cash?

The local currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). While credit cards are widely accepted in major hotels and shops, you will want to have cash for small souvenirs, street food, and tipping (which is a significant part of the culture in Egypt). You can easily pull local cash from airport or hotel ATMs upon arrival.

🛏️ Can I book a private room, or will I have a roommate?

Our base price is for double occupancy (sharing a room with another wonderful woman from our group). If you are traveling solo, we will happily pair you with a roommate!

Upon arrival at Cairo Airport, your Egypt Ever After representative will greet you and transfer you to your hotel.

Today, we will visit the Old Kingdom Capital of Egypt, and see the oldest stone pyramid in the known world: Saqqara. Here you will step inside 4,000-year-old Mastabas where ancient Egyptian nobles were mummified and sent to the afterlife.

• Giza Pyramids & Sphinx

• New Grand Egyptian Museum

• King Tutankhamun's Gold Mask

• Explore Luxor Temple, a 3,400‑year‑old monument where the Kings and Queens of ancient Egypt were crowned and celebrated.

• Dinner and Shopping in the Souq

Today, we explore the Valley of the Kings and Queens, where Egypt’s pharaohs were buried more than 3,000 years ago. Here, vibrant wall paintings, ancient corridors, and royal chambers reveal how New Kingdom rulers prepared for eternity.

Savor the Flavor of the Nile - Step inside a real Luxor family kitchen and experience a hands-on culinary experience designed to make you feel like part of the family. 

Today is the one thing no one ever puts on a vacation itinerary: a real day off. Sleep in, linger over breakfast, unwind by the pool, or wander Luxor at your own pace. No schedule. No rush. Just the luxury of doing exactly what you want, or simply doing nothing at all. Luxor is yours to enjoy, however you please.

• Relax poolside

• Explore Luxor

Visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, built nearly 3,500 years ago for Egypt's greatest female pharaoh. Carved straight into the cliffs of Deir el‑Bahari, its colonnades and reliefs reveal her divine birth, trading expeditions, and unprecedented reign.

• Visit Queen-turned-King, Hatshepsut's Mortuary Temple

• Alabaster Shop

• Colossi of Memnon

Welcome to Karnak Temple, the 4,000‑year‑old heart of ancient Egypt, and the largest open‑air museum in the world. Built by dozens of pharaohs, it features a hypostyle hall and a sacred lake. Explore the temples where the Priests and Priestesses worshipped and protected the inner sanctum of the gods and goddesses.

• Add-on Hot Air Balloon

• Karnak Temple

On the rear wall of Hathor Temple stands a rare treasure: The famous Queen Cleopatra VII - The Last Pharaoh of ancient Egypt. Cleopatra and her son Caesarion are immortalized together in one of the last great reliefs of ancient Egypt. We will explore one of Egypt’s best‑preserved sanctuaries and birth houses, where vibrant Egyptian blue ceilings and star‑filled halls honor Egypt’s goddess of love, music, dance, and cosmic motherhood.

The places we visit become stories we carry, and the people we meet become part of who we are. Thank you for trusting me with your time, attention, and presence — it’s been an honor to help create memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
