Most Egypt tours from India last 7 to 9 days. They start in Cairo and Giza, then continue to Luxor and Aswan to visit temples such as Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, and Abu Simbel. Since there is no daily direct flight, most travelers use the limited number of EgyptAir nonstop flights from Delhi to Cairo or connect through Dubai, Doha, or Abu Dhabi. Indian passport holders must get an e-Visa before leaving.
Misk Tours offers every package as a private trip based in Cairo, not as a seat on another agency’s group tour. You will have a licensed Egyptologist as your guide, no shopping stops, and vegetarian or Jain meals upon request. Your tour starts according to your flight, not a fixed group schedule. You can also add time at the Red Sea in Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh to end your trip with some relaxing beach days.

Why Indian Travellers Book With Us
Most Egypt packages sold in India are resold by an agency that has never set foot in Cairo. Misk Tours is Egypt-based and on the ground, and it answers questions your Indian travel agent usually can't.
Hotels and Nile cruise kitchens get your vegetarian, no-onion-no-garlic, and Jain meal requests ahead of time. These are arranged when you book, so you don’t have to sort them out at the table.
Your itinerary focuses on Egypt's iconic monuments and time on the Nile. There are no commission-driven stops at papyrus or perfume shops, so every stop adds genuine value to your journey.
There are no ticketing systems or call-back queues. You can message the same Egypt-based team on WhatsApp before, during, and after your trip, using a format Indian travelers already use every day.
You’ll have licensed guides trained in Egyptology, not just general tour leaders. Private, air-conditioned transport and 24/7 on-ground support are included throughout your trip.
Proudly honored as the best travel agency in Egypt, delivering outstanding travel experiences year after year
Why It Matters
Most "Egypt tours from India" are offered by Indian agencies that simply resell the same fixed-departure bus tours run by local operators.
The comparison below explains what really changes if you book your tour directly with a local operator in Egypt.
| What you get | Misk Tours (Cairo-based, private) | Typical Indian agency package |
|---|---|---|
| Tour style | 100% private — your own guide & vehicle | Fixed-group coach, shared with strangers |
| Departure dates | Any date, built around your flights | Fixed departure calendar |
| Guides | Licensed Egyptologists, Ministry-vetted | Varies; often generalist tour leaders |
| Shopping stops | None built into itineraries | Common, often commission-linked |
| Vegetarian/Jain meals | Arranged on request | Rarely specified in advance |
| Support | 24/7 WhatsApp with the Cairo team directly | Routed through a call centre in India |
Visa, flights, money and food — sorted before you land
The essentials, at a glance.
| Passport validity | 6+ months |
| Visa type | e-Visa |
| e-Visa cost | ~$25 / ₹2,100–2,700 |
| Time difference | India is 3.5 hrs ahead |
| Peak booking window | 3–4 months ahead (Dec–Feb) |
Indian citizens must get an Egypt e-Visa online before traveling. Visa on arrival is only for those who already have a valid UK, US, Schengen, Japanese, or Australian visa or residency, so most travelers should not rely on this option.
EgyptAir offers non-stop flights from Delhi to Cairo, taking about 6.5 to 7.5 hours and running several times a week. If a non-stop flight does not fit your schedule or destination, you can choose one-stop flights via Dubai, Doha, Kuwait, or Abu Dhabi on airlines such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Kuwait Airways, or Gulf Air. These usually add about 1.5 to 2.5 hours to your journey.
Egypt's currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). The package prices listed above are in USD and include hotels, private transport, guiding, and entry fees. They do not include international airfare, the e-Visa fee, tipping, or personal expenses.
Egyptian cuisine leans heavily on lentils, chickpeas, rice, flatbread and vegetables, so vegetarian meals are easy to arrange in hotels, cruise ships and city restaurants. Strict Jain requirements (no onion, no garlic, no root vegetables) are best flagged when you book, so kitchens can plan ahead rather than improvise on the day.
The main tourist areas, including Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts, are busy with tourists and are generally safe if you take normal precautions. It is best for solo and female travelers to use a private guide and driver instead of public transport. Remember to dress modestly at religious sites.
Food
One of the most common questions we get from Indian travellers — and the honest answer is reassuring.
Egyptian cuisine has deep vegetarian roots. These are on menus everywhere, even outside tourist areas:
A genuine Indian dining scene exists in Cairo, Luxor, Hurghada, and Sharm El Sheikh, with North and South Indian menus, thalis, vegetarian curries, and tandoori dishes available.
Onion- and garlic-free or strictly Jain meals require more planning than general vegetarian meals.

When To Go
Egypt's comfortable season (October–April) overlaps neatly with the Indian holiday calendar — useful if you're planning around Diwali, Christmas–New Year, or a winter school break.
Oct–Nov
Warm days, cooler evenings. Lines up well with Diwali travel and is less crowded than peak winter.
Dec–Feb
Peak season — pleasant weather matches Christmas–New Year and winter school holidays. Book early.
Mar–Apr
Warming quickly; great light for photos. May gets hot inland, so aim for March–April if traveling then.
May–Sep
Very hot for sightseeing in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. Red Sea resorts like Hurghada remain a good option.
If your dates are fixed around summer holidays, we typically weight the itinerary toward the Red Sea and early-morning sightseeing rather than a full Cairo–Luxor–Aswan circuit.

Most Indian travelers find that a trip to Egypt costs between ₹80,000 and ₹1,50,000 per person for 7 to 10 days. This includes flights, visa fees, accommodation, meals, transportation, and sightseeing. If you travel on a budget, you might spend as little as ₹60,000 by staying in hostels, using public transport, and eating street food. On the other hand, a private, guide-led trip with better hotels can cost ₹2,00,000 or more.
For a 7-day trip, Indian travelers usually spend between ₹60,000 and ₹1,50,000 per person. This estimate covers flights, hotels, guided tours, local transport, and meals. Round-trip flights alone cost between ₹30,000 and ₹70,000, depending on your departure city, the season, and the airline. It helps to budget flights and the land package separately. A private, Egyptologist-guided land package (not including international flights) generally costs more than a basic group tour, but it offers extras that budget options do not. These include a licensed guide instead of a driver-guide, no commission-based shopping stops, and more flexible timing.
UPI does not work in Egypt at the moment. UPI is available in 10 countries for Indian travelers, such as Greece, Singapore, the UAE, France, Mauritius, and Nepal, but Egypt is not included. So, do not plan to use UPI there.
Cards are a different matter. International Visa and Mastercard credit or debit cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and larger shops in Egypt. Here are two things to know before you go:
