The fine print

What's included – and what isn't

Accessibility

Who can join this

The itinerary includes extensive walking on uneven surfaces, loose sand and ancient stone at the Giza Plateau and in parts of Old Cairo. Many sites have steps, low doorways and uneven cobbles; the Khufu pyramid interior involves narrow, steep passages that are not suitable for most wheelchairs or people with severe mobility impairment. Our private A/C vehicles can carry folding wheelchairs and there is step-up access into the coach; however kerbs and pavements around sites are often raised and irregular. We can provide a porter or an assistant on request, and we ask travellers with reduced mobility to tell us before booking so we can plan appropriate help. Entrance gates at major sites have security screening and occasional short waits, which may be difficult for people who cannot stand for long periods.

– Responsible travel

How we travel here

We use private, air-conditioned sedans and minibuses that meet current Egyptian vehicle inspection standards, not open-top tourist buses. Where possible we deploy smaller cars for transfers in central Cairo to reduce fuel consumption and congestion. Our Egyptologists and drivers are locally contracted, paid local wages and booked directly through our Cairo office to keep revenue in the local economy. We encourage single-use plastic reduction by offering water-bottle refill stops and asking suppliers to limit disposable cups during lunches. We ask guests to respect restricted areas at archaeological sites to help preserve fragile stonework; entrance fees paid to Egyptian authorities support site maintenance and conservation. If you request it, we will arrange visits to community-run crafts projects rather than commercial souvenir outlets.
