Private tours of Egypt

Oliver - Your Guide

Each year Archaeological Diggings runs escorted tours to Egypt and the Middle East. It is not always possible to get the amount of time off work, perhaps it is too expensive, or perhaps you just do not like group travel. Why not leverage our network of agents and guides and let us arrange a customised tour of Egypt to fit in with your schedule. Some suggested itineraries are available below, or contact us to arrange your own itinerary.

These tours will be met at the airport in Cairo. The tour will be accompanied by Oliver (pictured), our local Egyptian guide. Oliver guides our regular group tours to Egypt each year. Flexible accommodation arrangements can ensure that it will fit with your budget. Minimum of 2 persons.
