Egypt Tour Packages from India 2026 — Curated Group Tours from ₹24,444

Trolly Good Fellow was founded in 2022 by Swathi and Hithu Hariharan, a Bangalore-based couple who got obsessed with curating travel experiences that actually delivered on the brochure photos. Egypt departures began in 2023 and it has been our main destination ever since — we run more Egypt than everything else combined. Most operators on the "egypt tour packages from india" results page run Egypt as one line item among thirty-five destinations. We do not.

Hithu and Swathi plan Egypt trips around the people travelling. Our Egypt groups usually have 12–18 travellers; private trips are customised separately. We check hotels, select guides who explain the history clearly in English, and allow for arrival tiredness and transfer time. Food and family requirements are discussed with the relevant suppliers before booking.

Our local arrangements combine a main destination partner, hotel relationships and additional suppliers where needed. Visa assistance and supporting documentation are coordinated for the applicable route; approval remains with the Egyptian authorities. Your written quote sets out the host, inclusions, exclusions and change terms. We do not promise every attraction or optional activity in every package.

Indian passport holders do need a visa for Egypt, and there are two valid paths to get one. The first is the Egypt e-Visa — applied online at visa2egypt.gov.eg before you travel, processed in 5-7 business days, and emailed as a PDF you carry on your phone. The second is the visa on arrival, available at Cairo International Airport (CAI), Hurghada (HRG), Sharm El Sheikh (SSH), and Luxor (LXR). Both options issue the same visa types and cost the same fee — the only difference is that the e-Visa eliminates any airport queue or risk of being turned back at the counter.

The Egypt visa fee for Indians in 2026 is $30 USD for the single-entry tourist visa (valid 30 days from arrival, single entry only) or $65 USD for the multi-entry visa (valid 6 months from issue, multiple entries — useful if you plan a Jordan side trip and return to Egypt). A rumour circulated in December 2025 about a fee hike to $80 — this was officially denied by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism in a public statement, and the rates remain $30 / $65 as of 2026. Don't fall for visa-agent websites that quote higher numbers.

Documents for the applicable Egypt visa route: Check the official portal or embassy instructions, passport validity, itinerary, accommodation and any required supporting letter. Our team can help organise the documents for your case. Approval and entry are decisions for the Egyptian authorities. Read our Egypt visa guide and confirm the requirements before booking.

Here is where TGF earns its money: we prepare and submit the e-Visa application for every traveller on every Egypt departure we have run since 2023, and we have not had one rejected. Common rejection reasons (wrong photo dimensions, fuzzy passport scan, missing return ticket, hotel booking that doesn't match passenger name) are all filtered out before submission. We handle the entire process — you send us your passport scan and photo, we do the rest, and you receive the e-Visa PDF in your email along with a printable boarding-ready packet. For travelers who already had a visa rejected on a DIY attempt, we re-apply and get it through on the second go.

The single most common pre-trip worry from Indian travelers — "but what will I eat?" — turns out to be the most pleasantly disproved. Egyptian cuisine is surprisingly vegetarian-friendly, far more so than most Middle Eastern countries. The national obsession is koshari: a hearty street-food staple of rice, lentils, macaroni, and chickpeas topped with tangy tomato sauce, crispy fried onions, and a drizzle of garlic vinegar. A generous bowl costs about ₹100-150 at any koshari shop, and TGF travelers consistently rate it as their favorite cheap eat of the trip. Other vegetarian Egyptian staples: ful medames (slow-cooked fava beans, eaten for breakfast with flatbread), ta'ameya (Egyptian falafel made with fava beans, distinctive bright green colour), hummus, baba ganoush, fresh tahini-dressed salads, and freshly baked aish baladi (Egyptian flatbread).

If you need a proper Indian fix after a few days, Cairo has a small but solid Indian restaurant scene clustered in Zamalek and Maadi neighbourhoods. Maharaja Indian Restaurant (Zamalek) and Bombay Brasserie (Maadi) are the two consistent favorites — both offer full North Indian menus including dal makhani, paneer dishes, biryanis, naans, and tandoori. There's also Taj Mahal Restaurant in Heliopolis, popular with the Indian expat community. Expect ₹800-1,500 per person for a full meal at these — pricier than local Egyptian food but a welcome treat when you miss home flavors. Outside Cairo, Indian-specific restaurants are scarce in Luxor and Aswan, so plan your Indian-food cravings for Cairo bookends.

TGF arranges pure-vegetarian meal customization on every Egypt tour on request at no extra cost. Tell us at booking that your group is vegetarian (or Jain, no-onion-no-garlic, or any other dietary requirement) and we work with our hotel partners to ensure every meal — breakfast buffets, included lunches, Nile cruise meals, Bedouin desert dinners — has dedicated vegetarian options. For groups travelling during Karva Chauth, Navratri, or any other religious-observance period, we've handled fasting requirements and special-diet meal planning many times. Just mention it on the WhatsApp consultation call.
