Five Destinations.
Ancient Worlds.
From the Pyramids of Giza to the rose-red city of Petra — every destination we cover is chosen because it offers something that cannot be replicated, and access that cannot be arranged without the right relationships.

How to Choose the Right Destination
Our destinations span ancient monuments, natural landscapes, and extraordinary desert and coastal wilderness. The right starting point depends entirely on what draws you.
Ancient History & Archaeology
If ancient Egypt is your primary draw — the monuments, the history, the Egyptology — start with Cairo & Giza, then move south through Luxor and Abydos. These three destinations together cover the full sweep of pharaonic civilisation from the Old Kingdom to the New Kingdom.
Luxury & First-Time Egypt
First visit to Egypt and want to experience it at its finest? Cairo & Giza for the Pyramids, Luxor for the Valley of the Kings, and Aswan for the beauty of the Upper Nile. This combination covers Egypt's greatest monuments without overwhelming a first itinerary, and can be done beautifully in 10 to 12 days.
Adventure & Natural Landscapes
Egypt is far more than monuments. The Western Desert offers some of the most dramatic natural landscapes on earth — white rock formations, ancient oases, and vast silence. The Red Sea coast combines world-class diving and snorkelling with complete privacy. Both can be woven into a longer Egypt itinerary.
Spiritual & Mindful Travel
For travellers drawn to Egypt's sacred dimension — the temples as living spiritual spaces, the energy of the monuments in silence, the connection to something ancient. The King's Chamber at dawn, Philae at sunrise, and the Osireion at Abydos are among the most powerful sacred spaces. We design these with expert care.
Egypt & Beyond
For those who want to extend their journey beyond Egypt's borders. Petra in Jordan is the most natural companion — two of the ancient world's most extraordinary civilisations in a single trip, connected by private flight from Cairo. We manage the full logistics across both countries.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Tell us what draws you — a monument you've always wanted to see, a type of experience, a feeling you're looking for — and we will design an itinerary around it. We respond within 24 hours with a personalised recommendation.
How We Cover Every Destination
We do not offer the same tour in different locations. Every destination requires different permits, different Ministry relationships, different local knowledge, and a different approach to timing and access. We have built that infrastructure in each destination we cover.
Whether you are spending two days in Cairo or two weeks across Egypt and Jordan, the standard is the same — private access where it is possible, specialist guides who know the site they are at, and a concierge team that manages every detail from the moment you arrive.
Plan Your Journey →Government Permits
Every private access visit is backed by a formal permit from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities or the relevant Jordanian authority. We handle the full application process.
Specialist Guides
We do not use a general guide across all destinations. Each site has a dedicated Egyptologist or specialist with academic knowledge specific to that location.
Before-Hours Timing
Wherever possible, we arrange entry before public opening hours — the single most significant factor in the quality of the experience at every destination we cover.
Full Concierge Coverage
Transfers, inter-city flights, restaurant reservations, and personal logistics — managed across every destination by one team and one point of contact.
We spent three weeks moving from Cairo to Luxor to Aswan to Abydos — each destination completely different and each one more extraordinary than the last. Eye on Egypt Travel made every visit feel like it had been arranged for us alone. Because it had.
