Planning an Egypt trip from Toronto feels complicated — domestic flights, a Nile cruise to choose, visa requirements, and dozens of operators all claiming to offer the definitive package. Al-Ibrahim Travel & Tours simplifies all of it. We are based at 20 Rexdale Blvd, Etobicoke, ON M9W 5Z3, IATA-accredited, and have been building Egypt itineraries for GTA clients for over 20 years.
This article breaks down exactly what our packages include and how to choose the right one.
What a Genuine All-Inclusive Egypt Package Should Cover
Package pricing varies enormously between operators, and a competitive-looking headline rate often excludes the costs that add up fastest on the ground. A properly built Egypt package from a reputable Toronto agency should always include:
Return domestic flights within Egypt — Cairo to Aswan and Luxor back to Cairo
Private airport and hotel transfers throughout
Four-star hotel accommodation in Cairo
Four-star Nile cruise ship accommodation for the cruise portion
A private, licensed Egyptologist guide for every touring day
All entry fees to every site on the itinerary
All meals aboard the Nile cruise ship and daily breakfast at Cairo hotels
Watch for this: If domestic flights, guide fees, or entrance tickets are not explicitly listed as included — the price is a base rate, not an all-inclusive. Always ask for a complete inclusions list.
Our Packages at a Glance
5-Day Cairo & Giza
Covers the Great Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, Saqqara, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Islamic Cairo, and the Khan El-Khalili Bazaar. A private Egyptologist guide throughout. Ideal for travellers with limited leave who want the Cairo experience done properly.
7-Day Egypt & Nile Cruise
Our most popular package. Three days in Cairo followed by a four-day Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor — visiting Philae Temple, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, and Karnak. Includes domestic flights and all meals aboard the cruise. This is the itinerary we recommend to the majority of first-time visitors from Toronto.
8 -Day Egypt, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel
Adds a day trip to the temples of Abu Simbel — Ramesses II's extraordinary rock-cut monuments near the Sudanese border. Available in standard and luxury configurations. For travellers who want the complete picture without feeling rushed.
Full itineraries and pricing details are on our Egypt Tours page.
How Many Days Do You Actually Need?
Five days: Right for travellers whose primary interest is Cairo and the pyramids, and whose leave is limited. Three full touring days in Cairo consistently surprises first-timers.
Seven days: Our recommendation for most first-time visitors. The Nile cruise brings Egypt's geography and history together in a way that Cairo alone cannot.
Eight days: For those who want Abu Simbel, Alexandria, or the Red Sea without compromising the pace.
October to April is the most comfortable season for touring. November and March offer the best balance of good weather, thinner crowds, and fair pricing. Book three to four months ahead for peak-season travel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are domestic flights within Egypt included in your packages?
A: Yes. All of our Egypt packages include the domestic flights needed within the itinerary — for example, Cairo to Aswan and Luxor back to Cairo. These are itemised clearly in every quote.
Q: Is a private guide included, or are these group tours?
A: All packages use a private, licensed Egyptologist guide — your group only, no shared tours. Small-group options are available for solo travellers on request.
Q: Can international flights from Toronto be included?
A: Yes. We can include international flights as part of the package or build the land-only portion for clients who prefer to book their own flights. Both options are available.
Q: Can the itinerary be customised?
A: Yes. Every package is a starting point for a conversation, not a fixed product. Call us at +1 647-343-5550 or send a message through our Contact page to discuss your specific travel dates and preferences.
