Things to Know About Our Pricing Policy

We believe in transparency and want to ensure that our customers have a clear understanding of how our pricing works. Our pricing policy outlines the payment terms, including deposit requirements, installment options, and final payment deadlines. It’s essential to review and understand these terms to ensure a smooth booking process. Here are some key points to know about our pricing policy:

For first-timers, the Cairo Highlights tour ($80) covering the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museums in one day are the most popular. Those with more time can add the Citadel, Khan El Khalili bazaar, and Coptic churches in Old Cairo, or extend with a half-day to the ancient necropolis at Sakkara and Dahshur.

Yes. Imperial Egypt’s Cairo Highlights one-day private tour covers the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum (or the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza) in a single day. Early morning departures ensure you reach the Pyramids before the midday heat and peak crowds.

Most Cairo day tours run 8–10 hours including transfers. Focused tours such as Sakkara alone take 5–6 hours. Tours combining the Pyramids, a museum, and Old Cairo run a full day. The Alexandria day trip by car is approximately 12 hours round trip from central Cairo.

Yes. Imperial Egypt offers a Cairo-to-Luxor air excursion ($420 per person) fly to Luxor in the morning, visit Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings with a private Egyptologist guide, and return to Cairo the same evening. Flights, guide, transport, and entry fees are all included.

Lightweight clothing covering shoulders and knees is recommended, as many Cairo sites including mosques and Coptic churches in Old Cairo require modest dress. Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a hat are essential for outdoor sites like the Pyramids. Imperial Egypt’s specialists advise on any site-specific requirements at the time of booking.

Egypt Transfers FAQs

What types of transfers do you offer in Egypt?

We offer private airport transfers, hotel-to-hotel transfers and city-to-city transfers in Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Cairo, Sharm El Sheikh and Alexandria. Every transfer is private, with a licensed driver and an air-conditioned vehicle reserved only for your group.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

The price is per vehicle, not per person, so one price covers your whole group. It includes a private air-conditioned car, van, minibus or bus (depending on group size), an English-speaking driver, fuel, tolls and parking.

Can I book my transfer in advance?

Yes, and we recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead, especially from October to April. Send us your date, pickup point, flight number (for airport pickups), number of guests and number of suitcases through the booking form or on WhatsApp.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight, and your driver waits up to 2 hours after your actual landing time at no extra cost. Your driver will meet you in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name or our company name, and you will receive the driver's phone number on WhatsApp before your trip.

How long does the drive take between cities?

Luxor to Hurghada takes about 3.5 hours, Luxor to Aswan about 3.5 hours, Luxor to Marsa Alam about 4 hours, and Hurghada to Cairo about 5.5 hours. We include short rest stops on longer drives.
