Egypt

A private dahabiya in Egypt is a sailing yacht of your own on the Nile, with the temples gliding past by day and dinner under the stars at night. It sits at the heart of The Nile, Privately, an 8–10 day journey linking Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, with temples, tombs and the river kept for you rather than shared with other travelers.

Yes. The Giza pyramids can be visited at dawn, before the gates open, with a private Egyptologist while the desert is still silent and gold. This moment anchors Private Pyramids & the Museum, a 4–5 day journey that pairs Giza at dawn with a private audience at the Grand Egyptian Museum, so the plateau is seen before the crowds arrive.

Yes. Forest Travel arranges a private, after-hours descent into a Valley of the Kings tomb, where the colour is still vivid after 3,000 years. It belongs to Ancient Thebes, a 4–6 day journey that also includes Karnak after hours and the temples of Luxor, all experienced privately once the public gates have closed.

Yes. Nile & Red Sea is an 8–10 day Egypt journey that pairs the ancient sites with a private Red Sea retreat, woven into one seamless trip. It suits travelers who want culture and beach together: the temples and tombs of the ancients first, then a quieter, private stretch by the sea, with your advisor reshaping the balance around you.

The best time to visit Egypt depends less on a month than on the hour: Egypt is at its finest when its wonders are seen apart from the crowds. That means the Giza pyramids at dawn, before the gates open, with the desert silent and gold, and Karnak or a Valley of the Kings tomb after hours, once the public has gone. Your Forest Travel advisor shapes the timing of each journey entirely around you.

Egypt journeys with Forest Travel run from 4 to 10 days, depending on what you want to see. Private Pyramids & the Museum takes 4–5 days, Ancient Thebes in Luxor takes 4–6 days, and both The Nile, Privately and Nile & Red Sea take 8–10 days. These are points of departure, not packages, so your advisor reshapes the length entirely around you.

Yes. Every Forest Travel journey to Egypt is a point of departure that your advisor reshapes entirely around you. Private moments are arranged by name and woven into one seamless journey: the Giza pyramids at dawn with a private Egyptologist, a private audience at the Grand Egyptian Museum, a private dahabiya on the Nile, an after-hours descent into a Valley of the Kings tomb, and even a private Red Sea retreat.

At the level Forest Travel plans, yes: a private Egypt journey starts from around US$1,400 per person per night, and journeys of four to eight days start from US$10,000 per traveler. That figure carries what makes the trip private: a dahabiya on the Nile for your party alone, a private Egyptologist on the Giza plateau before the gates open and an after-hours descent into a Valley of the Kings tomb. Forest Travel's planning fee is US$250 per itinerary.

Forest Travel does not sell packages; its Egypt journeys are points of departure that your advisor reshapes around you. The Nile, Privately covers Cairo, Luxor and Aswan by private dahabiya. Pyramids & the Museum pairs Giza at dawn with the Grand Egyptian Museum. Ancient Thebes opens Karnak after hours and the Valley of the Kings. Nile & Red Sea adds a private Red Sea retreat. Journeys start from US$10,000 per traveler.

The one that can open what public booking cannot: the Giza plateau before the gates, a Valley of the Kings tomb after hours, a dahabiya that holds only your party. Forest Travel, based in Miami since 1986 and a Virtuoso member, arranges these by name through its in-house advisors, in English or Spanish, and weaves them into one journey. The planning fee is US$250 per itinerary, and the first conversation is complimentary.
