India's top-rated Egypt operator ✈️
Small groups (max 15 travelers), all-inclusive pricing, expert Egyptologist guides, complete e-Visa support, and the only Indian Egypt operator with a perfect 5.0/5 rating from 482+ travelers. Pyramids, Nile cruise, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel — handled.
Egypt tour packages from India in 2026 start at ₹24,444 (4 days, Cairo getaway) and go up to ₹2,07,095 (17 days luxury Grand Tour), with the most popular 7-10 day Pyramids + Nile cruise packages running ₹93,993 – ₹1,06,700 all-inclusive. Trolly Good Fellow offers small-group tours capped at 15 travelers, departing from Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chennai. Rated 5.0/5 by 482+ Indian travelers. Egypt e-Visa for Indian passport holders: $25 USD (single-entry, 30 days) or $60 USD (multi-entry, 6 months). Best months to travel: October to April. Average flight time from India: 6-8 hours including layover.
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. Four years and 100+ group departures later, we have become India's highest-rated specialist for Egypt tours — with a perfect 5.0 average rating from 482+ verified traveler reviews across Google, Instagram, and direct customer feedback. No other Indian operator on the "egypt tour packages from india" search results page comes close to that social proof.
What separates us from MakeMyTrip, Thomas Cook, Flamingo, and the dozens of generic agents flooding the top of Google? Three things. First, we cap our groups at 15 travelers. Most aggregators sell "group tours" that actually bundle 30-50 people on the same coach — you spend half the trip waiting for slow walkers and never get one-on-one guide time at the Pyramids. Our 15-cap means you actually hear what your Egyptologist is explaining inside the tomb of Ramesses VI. Second, our pricing is genuinely all-inclusive. When we quote ₹98,000 for an 8-day group tour, that is the final number — 4-star Nile-view accommodation, every entrance fee at every monument, all domestic flights within Egypt, expert guides at every site, daily breakfast plus most meals, e-Visa assistance, and 24/7 trip leader support are all in. The only excluded items are international flights from India (which we can book separately at group rates), tips/baksheesh, and travel insurance.
Third, we have never had an Egypt e-Visa rejection in 4 years. Our visa team handles documentation end-to-end — passport scans, photos, application submission, status tracking, and follow-up. Indian travelers who tried applying on their own and got rejected on technicalities (wrong photo format, expired bank statement, missing return ticket) come to us as a fallback and we get it through on the second attempt. Combine that with our deep operator relationships in Cairo — bulk hotel rates 30-40% below retail, skip-the-line Pyramids access, English-speaking Egyptologist guides we have worked with for 4+ years, and emergency contacts at the Indian embassy in Cairo — and the value math works clearly in your favor. We're a boutique trip designer, not a marketplace.

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 $25 USD for the single-entry tourist visa (valid 30 days from arrival, single entry only) or $60 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 $25 / $60 as of 2026. Don't fall for visa-agent websites that quote higher numbers.
Documents required for the Egypt e-Visa: a passport scan (clear, full first page) with minimum 6 months validity beyond your travel dates and at least one blank page for the entry stamp; a recent passport-sized photo (35mm x 45mm, white background, JPEG under 250KB); a confirmed return air ticket; and confirmed hotel bookings for the entire duration of stay. The application form takes about 20 minutes to complete. Pay the $25 / $60 fee online by credit card. The e-Visa typically arrives by email within 5-7 business days, sometimes the next day.
Here is where TGF earns its money: we have processed 482+ Indian traveler e-Visa applications with a 100% approval rate — zero rejections in 4 years. 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 best time to visit Egypt from India is October through April, when daytime temperatures across Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan range 18-30°C and outdoor sightseeing at uncovered monuments like the Pyramids and Valley of the Kings is genuinely comfortable. Outside this window — May through September — Upper Egypt regularly exceeds 40°C and Aswan can hit 48°C, turning the walks between tombs into endurance tests. We don't operate group tours in summer for exactly this reason.
For Indian vacation planning specifically, the standout windows are Diwali week in October-November (perfect weather + aligns with the long Diwali family holiday), Christmas/New Year in December (peak festive atmosphere — book 4-6 months ahead, prices 25-35% higher), and February (our personal pick — peak weather, pre-summer crowds drop, packages 15% cheaper than December). March-April is the value sweet spot if you're flexible on school holidays — same comfortable weather, 20-25% cheaper than December peak. Avoid Holi week (March) only if you specifically want to be home for it; otherwise Egypt's March weather is excellent.
| Months | Rating | Weather | Indian Traveler Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| October – November | Excellent | 24-30°C, dry, sunny | Our personal favorite window — perfect weather, pre-peak pricing, smaller crowds. Diwali holiday slot is popular with Indian families. |
| December – January | Excellent (peak) | 18-25°C, cool, festive | Christmas/New Year peak season — book 4-6 months ahead. Highest prices but a magical festive atmosphere; great for school holiday travelers. |
| February | Excellent (best value) | 22-28°C, dry | Sweet spot — peak weather without peak crowds. Ideal for honeymooners and second-time travelers. School holiday alignment is moderate. |
| March – April | Very Good (shoulder) | 26-32°C, warming | Shoulder season value — 15-25% cheaper packages, weather still comfortable. Aligns with school summer-vacation start for families. |
| May | Marginal | 32-38°C | Heat begins — Cairo and Luxor get hot, but Red Sea coast (Hurghada, Sharm) remains pleasant. Aswan and southern Egypt are tough. |
| June – September | Avoid | 38-48°C, very hot | We do not run group tours in summer — Luxor and Aswan regularly exceed 45°C and outdoor sightseeing becomes punishing. Stay home or wait. |

An 8-day Egypt trip from India typically costs between ₹60,000 and ₹2,50,000 depending on travel style. Budget travelers (clean 2-3 star hotels, local meals, public transport) land at ₹60,000-80,000 in-country, plus ₹23,000-40,000 for return flights. Mid-range travelers (4-star hotels, mix of dining, private transfers) spend ₹90,000-1,20,000 in-country plus ₹30,000-45,000 flights. Luxury travelers (5-star Nile cruise, fine dining, private guides) run ₹1,50,000-2,50,000 plus ₹40,000-60,000 flights.
With Trolly Good Fellow, our all-inclusive group packages start at ₹98,000 for 8 days — covering accommodation, all domestic flights within Egypt, every entrance fee, expert guides, daily breakfast, and most meals. Most travelers find our bundled rate 30-40% cheaper than buying every line item independently because we negotiate bulk hotel and transport rates. The table below shows realistic 2026 ranges grounded in our actual 4 years of group booking data.
Based on TGF's 4+ years of group tour data and 482+ traveler bookings. Numbers are realistic ranges, not promises — actual costs vary with season, hotel choices, and personal preferences.
| Category | Budget | Mid-range | Luxury | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flights (return, India to Cairo) | ₹23,000-30,000 | ₹30,000-40,000 | ₹40,000-60,000 | Delhi cheapest; Bangalore/Chennai 10-15% higher. Book 2-3 months ahead. |

| Shopping / souvenirs | ₹2,000-5,000 | ₹5,000-15,000 | ₹15,000-50,000 | Papyrus art, alabaster, cotton scarves, spice mixes — Khan El Khalili. |
TGF group packages start at ₹98,000 per person (twin sharing) and include accommodation, domestic flights within Egypt, entrance fees, guides, and most meals — typically 30-40% cheaper than budgeting all line items independently. Contact us for personalized quotes.
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.

“Eight days in Egypt with Trolly Good Fellow was the single best travel experience of my life. Standing inside the Valley of the Kings while our Egyptologist explained the hieroglyphics in real time — there are no words. The White Desert camping night was completely magical. Every detail was sorted perfectly.”

8-Day Egypt Group Tour
“I had been dreaming of Egypt my whole life. TGF made it 10x better than I imagined. The sunrise at the Pyramids — I arrived before any other tourist group and had the Sphinx almost to myself for 20 minutes. The price was the best I found anywhere. Transparent, no hidden costs.”

Egypt + Nile Cruise Package
“Solo female traveler here. I was nervous about Egypt but Swathi and Hithu's team made me feel completely safe at every moment. The women in our group had the same guide throughout — no switching. Karnak Temple at golden hour was so beautiful I actually sat down and cried. Worth every rupee.”

8-Day Egypt Women Group Tour
“We were a group of 12 friends and wanted everything organised but flexible enough to wander on our own when we felt like it. TGF nailed that balance. The Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor was unreal — sunset on the upper deck with Edfu temple in the distance is a memory I'll keep forever.”

Egypt + Nile Cruise Package
“I travelled with my 68-year-old father and TGF customised the pace beautifully. They arranged ground-floor rooms in Luxor, slow walks at the Valley of the Kings, and even a private car for the desert leg. The vegetarian meal arrangements were thoughtful — never a missed meal in 10 days.”

Egypt Senior-Friendly Group Tour
Yes, Indian passport holders need an Egypt visa. You have two options: an e-Visa applied online before travel via visa2egypt.gov.eg, or a visa on arrival at Cairo International Airport. The single-entry tourist visa costs approximately $25 USD (valid for 30 days), and a $60 USD multiple-entry option is valid for 6 months. A rumoured fee increase circulated in December 2025 was officially denied by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism — current rates remain $25 single-entry and $60 multiple-entry as of 2026. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates and have one blank page for the stamp. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245 — we provide complete visa documentation support and have never had a single rejection in 4+ years.
The best time to visit Egypt from India is October to April, when daytime temperatures are 20-30°C and outdoor sightseeing is genuinely comfortable. November and February are our personal favorites — perfect weather, manageable crowds, and great value before peak-season pricing kicks in. December and January are cool and Christmas-festive but bring the highest crowds and prices. Avoid May to September when temperatures regularly exceed 40°C and can hit 48°C in the desert — outdoor sightseeing becomes painful. Our group tours are scheduled exclusively in the optimal October-April window. Browse our Egypt packages at trollygoodfellow.com/packages.
We recommend 8 to 14 days depending on what you want to see. Our Egypt Essentials (8 days) covers the must-sees: Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Khan El Khalili, Luxor's Valley of the Kings, Karnak, and a White Desert overnight. The Egypt + Nile Cruise package (10 days) adds a 3-night luxury cruise from Luxor to Aswan including Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Philae temples. The Egypt Grand Tour (14 days) is the complete experience — adds Abu Simbel, Alexandria's Mediterranean coast, and Siwa Oasis. For first-time visitors with limited vacation days, 8 days is a great introduction; for the dream trip, choose 10-14 days. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245 to find your fit.
Yes, Egypt is very safe for Indian tourists. The tourism industry is well-established and tourist police are present at all major sites. Indian travelers in particular are warmly welcomed — locals find Bollywood, cricket, and Indian culture instantly familiar. For women travelers, Egypt is safe especially in tourist areas; we recommend dressing modestly (cover shoulders and knees) to minimise unwanted attention and carrying a scarf for mosque visits. Common-sense precautions apply: be aware of unsolicited "guides" at monuments and inflated camel-ride prices. Traveling with our group adds an extra layer of safety — our trip leaders handle all negotiations, our guides are vetted, and our small group size (max 15) means you are never alone. Browse our Egypt packages at trollygoodfellow.com/packages.
Yes, Egypt is surprisingly vegetarian-friendly — far more so than most Middle Eastern countries. Koshari is Egypt's beloved national dish: a hearty mix of rice, lentils, pasta, and chickpeas topped with tangy tomato sauce and crispy fried onions, costing about ₹100-150 for a huge portion at any koshari shop. Other staples: ful medames (slow-cooked fava beans for breakfast), ta'ameya (Egyptian falafel made with fava beans, distinctive bright green colour), hummus, baba ganoush, and fresh salads. Rice and bread are available at every meal. Just say "ana nabati" (I'm vegetarian) and you'll be well taken care of. Most TGF travelers stop seeking Indian restaurants — Egyptian food is that good. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245 for a custom food tour add-on.
Egypt uses the Egyptian Pound (EGP). As of 2026, 1 INR ≈ 0.57 EGP, which makes Egypt remarkably affordable for Indian travelers. A full local meal costs ₹200-400, a Cairo taxi ride is ₹100-200, the entry fee to the Great Pyramid is about ₹600, and souvenirs at Khan El Khalili start at ₹50. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants — but carry cash for bazaars, street vendors, and tipping (baksheesh). ATMs are widely available at major banks throughout Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan; avoid standalone ATMs in remote areas. Browse our Egypt packages at trollygoodfellow.com/packages.
An 8-day Egypt trip from India typically costs between ₹60,000 and ₹2,50,000 depending on your travel style. Budget travelers spend ₹60,000-80,000 (excluding flights) — clean 2-3 star hotels, local food, public transport. Mid-range travelers spend ₹90,000-1,20,000 — 4-star hotels, mix of dining, private transfers. Luxury travelers spend ₹1,50,000-2,50,000 — 5-star Nile cruise, fine dining, premium experiences. Return flights from India add ₹23,000-50,000 depending on your city and booking time. With Trolly Good Fellow, our all-inclusive group packages start at ₹98,000 per person for 8 days — covering accommodation, domestic flights within Egypt, entrance fees, guides, and most meals. Most travelers find our packages cheaper than independent booking because we negotiate bulk hotel rates. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245 for a personalized quote.
Delhi (DEL → CAI) offers the cheapest connections to Egypt at ₹23,000-40,000 return — Air India, EgyptAir (some seasonal), and Saudi Airlines via Jeddah. Mumbai (BOM → CAI) is ₹25,000-45,000 with Emirates via Dubai or Etihad via Abu Dhabi being the best value. Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai (BLR/HYD/MAA → CAI) range ₹27,000-48,000, typically routed via Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, or Jeddah. Total flight time including the layover is 6-8 hours. Booking tips: lock in 2-3 months ahead, prefer Tuesday-Wednesday departures (15-20% cheaper), and consider open-jaw tickets (in via Cairo, out via Hurghada) to skip a domestic leg. We can also arrange competitive group fares from any Indian city. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245.
Egypt has excellent mobile coverage throughout Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea coast. Buy a local SIM at Cairo International Airport — Vodafone Egypt and Orange both have kiosks immediately past customs. A 10GB data plan costs about ₹500 (roughly 250 EGP) and lasts a full week of typical travel use. WhatsApp works perfectly — you'll stay connected with family back home for free over WiFi or your data plan. Hotels offer free WiFi but speeds vary; the Vodafone/Orange data is more reliable for navigation, ride-hailing, and uploads. White Desert and remote desert areas have spotty coverage — a deliberate "digital detox" feature, not a bug. Browse our Egypt packages at trollygoodfellow.com/packages.
Arabic is the official language of Egypt, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, restaurants, and major attractions. Our expert Egyptologist guides are fluent in English (and often in Hindi too), so you'll never face a language barrier on guided activities. For self-exploration in markets and street food spots, knowing a few Arabic phrases helps and locals love the effort: "Shukran" (thank you), "Sabah el-kheir" (good morning), "La shukran" (no thank you, useful for declining persistent vendors), and "Kam el-saar?" (how much?). Google Translate works well for menu reading. Younger generations in Cairo and Luxor speak strong English. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245 for a pre-trip phrasebook PDF.
Tipping — known as "baksheesh" — is genuinely a way of life in Egypt and is expected for most service interactions. Carry plenty of small denominations of Egyptian Pounds throughout your trip. Suggested baksheesh: 10-50 EGP for a porter, 20-50 EGP for a hotel housekeeper per day, 50-100 EGP for a tour guide per day, 50-100 EGP for a driver per day, and 10-20 EGP for someone who helps you find a tomb at Valley of the Kings. At restaurants, 10% on top of the bill is standard if service charge is not already included. Don't tip in Indian Rupees or USD coins — they aren't easily convertible locally. Withdraw small bills from the ATM on arrival. Our trip leaders advise the group on appropriate amounts at each stop. Browse our Egypt packages at trollygoodfellow.com/packages.
Photography is generally welcome at outdoor sites in Egypt — the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Karnak, Luxor Temple, the White Desert, the Nile, and bazaars are all freely photographable. Inside the tombs at the Valley of the Kings and inside the Egyptian Museum, however, a separate photography permit is typically required (around 300 EGP / ₹500-700) and tripods/professional gear are usually banned without prior permission. Mobile phone photography inside select tombs is sometimes allowed for free — rules change, so always ask the on-site officer. Always ask permission before photographing locals; most are happy but some prefer not to. Avoid photographing military installations, police checkpoints, and embassy buildings — these are restricted by law. Our trip leaders flag the rules at each stop so you never accidentally violate them. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245.
Trolly Good Fellow's Egypt tour packages are genuinely all-inclusive — there are no surprise costs at the airport. Every package includes: 4-star accommodation throughout (Nile-view in Cairo, riverside in Luxor, Aswan, or Nile cruise depending on itinerary), all airport transfers and inter-city ground transport, all domestic flights within Egypt (Cairo↔Luxor↔Aswan as needed), every entrance fee at every monument (Pyramids, Sphinx, Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Egyptian Museum, Philae, Abu Simbel), expert English-speaking Egyptologist guides at every site, daily breakfast plus most lunches and dinners, optional add-ons like hot air balloon over Luxor or Nile cruise upgrades, Egypt e-Visa assistance, 24/7 on-trip TGF leader support, and emergency medical assistance coordination. NOT included: international flights from India to Cairo (we can book for you separately at group rates), personal expenses, tips/baksheesh, and travel insurance (we strongly recommend you buy it). Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245 for the complete inclusion list of any specific package.
Yes, every TGF Egypt tour is fully customizable. While our published group tour packages cover the most-requested itineraries (8-day Pyramids+Nile, 10-day with Hurghada, 14-day grand tour), about 30% of our travelers book private custom trips designed entirely around their dates, group size, interests, and budget. Common customizations: family-friendly itineraries with slower walking pace for elderly parents, honeymoon variants with luxury Nile cruise and private felucca sunset, photographer-focused tours with sunrise Pyramids access and longer Karnak time, religious heritage add-ons like Mount Sinai trekking or Coptic Cairo deep-dive, and vegetarian-only food itineraries with curated restaurants. We design custom Egypt trips for 2-30 travelers, departing from any Indian city, in any month October-April. Tell us your dream and budget — we'll craft the itinerary, quote within 24 hours, and lock in dates. WhatsApp +91 8557062245 to start the conversation.

An Egypt tour from India costs between ₹98,000 and ₹2,07,095 per person depending on duration and travel tier. Budget tier (₹98,000-1,20,000) covers 8 days with 3-star hotels and shared transfers. Mid tier (₹1,30,000-1,60,000) includes 4-star hotels and a Nile cruise. Luxury tier (₹1,75,000-2,07,095) features 5-star properties and private guides. Cost breakdown: return flights ₹25,000-45,000, e-Visa $25 (≈₹2,100), accommodation ₹1,500-20,000 per night, food ₹500-5,000 per day. TGF's all-inclusive packages start at ₹98,000 for 8 days. Solo travelers pay a small single supplement; couples and groups of 4+ get the best per-person value. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245.
Egypt is genuinely affordable for Indian travelers and stretches your rupees further than most international destinations. A full local meal costs ₹200-400, a taxi across Cairo runs ₹100-200, and entry to the Great Pyramid is approximately ₹600. Compared to Europe or the USA, Egypt delivers premium cultural experiences at roughly one-third the cost. Currency-wise, 1 USD ≈ 50 EGP ≈ ₹84, so your rupee budget stretches comfortably across daily expenses, souvenirs, and tipping (baksheesh). The exceptions are luxury Nile cruises and 5-star Red Sea resorts, which approach European pricing — but even these stay 30-40% cheaper than equivalent Mediterranean stays. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245.
October to February is peak season for Egypt with daytime temperatures of 20-28°C — perfect for sightseeing across Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. December and January are most popular (higher prices, larger crowds at the Pyramids and Karnak). February is the sweet spot — peak weather without peak crowds. March and April offer great value with slightly warmer 25-35°C days. Avoid May through September — Egypt summer hits 40-48°C and the desert heat at Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel becomes genuinely punishing. For Indian summer vacation travel (May-June), only early-morning sightseeing is practical. Our group departures cluster October-March. Browse our Egypt packages at trollygoodfellow.com/packages.
Yes, Indian passport holders need a visa for Egypt and have two options. Egypt e-Visa: apply online before travel at visa2egypt.gov.eg — $25 USD single-entry or $60 USD multi-entry (valid 6 months), 3-7 business days processing. Visa-on-arrival: available at Cairo airport for $25, though queues can be long. Documents required: valid passport (6+ months validity), recent passport photo, hotel or tour booking confirmation, return ticket, and a credit card for the payment. We strongly recommend e-Visa to skip the airport queue and start your trip relaxed. TGF provides full visa documentation support — never had a single rejection in 4+ years.

7 days is the absolute minimum to cover Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan basics — anything less feels rushed. 10 days lets you comfortably add a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Philae temples. 14 days covers the full Egypt experience including Hurghada Red Sea or Alexandria's Mediterranean coast. Most Indian travelers choose 8-10 days as the sweet spot — long enough to see all the major monuments without feeling exhausted, short enough to fit standard 7-10 days of annual leave. Our most popular package is the 8-day Cairo + Nile cruise combination. Browse our Egypt packages at trollygoodfellow.com/packages.
Egypt is currently safe for tourists including Indian travelers and solo women. Tourist police are highly visible at all major sites — the Pyramids of Giza, Karnak, Valley of the Kings, and Abu Simbel all have dedicated security. Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Hurghada are all safe for visitors. Avoid the Sinai interior and the Libya/Sudan border regions. Apply common-sense precautions: don't display valuables, use authorized taxis (Uber and Careem both work well in Cairo), and politely decline overly persistent vendors at monuments and bazaars. Indian travelers face zero security-specific concerns and are warmly welcomed. Group tours add another safety layer — vetted hotels, a trip leader on the ground, and private transport.

Plenty — Egyptian cuisine has strong vegetarian roots. Ful medames (slow-cooked mashed fava beans) is the national breakfast dish and entirely vegan. Koshari (rice, lentils, pasta, and chickpeas in tomato sauce) is Egypt's beloved street food and also vegan. Ta'amia (Egyptian falafel made from fava beans, distinctive bright green inside), baba ganoush, hummus, fatta, and mahshi (stuffed vegetables and grape leaves) are all widely available. Indian restaurants exist in Cairo: Maharaja Restaurant in Zamalek, Bombay Brasserie, and Curry Garden serve familiar comfort food. TGF arranges vegetarian-only menus at all hotels and restaurants on request — most travelers report eating better than expected. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245.

Yes — and many Indian women do, very successfully. TGF runs dedicated women-only Egypt tours (max 12 travelers) specifically for solo Indian women. Our standard group tours also welcome solo women warmly — typically 40-60% of our Egypt group travelers are solo. Egypt is welcoming to women travelers; dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees at religious sites like mosques and Coptic churches; otherwise any modest clothing works). Group tours add safety through vetted hotels, an optional female trip leader, and private transport between sites. For complete peace of mind, our women-only Egypt departures run in March and November each year. Connect with us on WhatsApp +91 8557062245 to join the next women-only departure.
