Egypt tour packages from the USA
Egypt is one of the most popular travel destinations for American tourists. The availability of recreation activities, the ancient history, and the developed tourist infrastructure, including resorts on the shores of the Red Sea, make Egypt incredibly attractive to travelers from the USA.
Ancient Wonders
By law, all the tour guides in Egypt have a Master’s Degree in Egyptology and have passed courses in reading hieroglyphics. At Egypt Tour Gate we believe your Egyptologist should open the gates for you to all the wonders of this country.
Keys to the Country
We love Egypt and want you to love it too. Our tour guides give you the keys, not just to the ancient world, but also contemporary Egypt. Fluent in numerous languages, including English, our guides can translate for you during all your tour needs.
Food
As the owner of Egypt Tour gates is a foodie as well as an Egyptologist our tour company takes particular pride in choosing the best restaurants for you. Authentic local Egyptian food is both affordable and delicious if you know where to eat like a local. And as an international metropolis, we can also direct you to the best eateries for any international food you are craving (or missing) during your stay.
Accommodations
Whether staying in a yurt in the desert or a historical luxury resort, we know which hotels are the best within your budget range. Note that a 5-star hotel in Egypt is often not as quite as fancy as a 5-star hotel in the West, so we recommend choosing up a star when it is within your budget (especially on Nile Cruises).

FAQ’s for American Travelers
Visa
Entry to Egypt is simple for American tourists. American tourists must only have a passport valid for at least 6 months after the entry date. The tourist visa, valid for 30 days, can be purchased upon arrival at the Cairo International Airpot using 25 US dollars in cash or the equivalent amount in Egyptian pounds that can be extracted from the ATM across from the tourist window.
Covid
All our tour guides are vaccinated. Vaccination cards OR a PCR test need to be shown to security when entering the country. As of November 2021 you still need a PCR test 48 hours before your return flight to the USA, despite your vaccination status and citizenship status. PCR tests are more costly in Egypt than in the US (approx 200 USD), so if you want to bring with you a travel home PCR kit from the US, that includes online validation from a registered nurse, that is a good option. Otherwise, we can arrange for a local health care worker to come to your hotel and administer the test for you.
Tipping
Tipping is very common in Egypt, for everything. We recommend you keep small bills for tipping drivers and other hotel staff. Egyptian citizens also prefer to be tipped in USD when possible as the currency is more stable than the Egyptian pound so it is nice to bring some cash with you. But of course, any tip is appreciated. Cash, in general, is how most transactions function in Egypt, so keep this in mind.
Buying Souvenirs
Bartering is part of the Egyptian way, even for locals. If you would like assistance with this please let us know in advance and perhaps we can arrange someone to shop with you and make sure you get a fair price. At Egypt Tour Gate we NEVER take a commission from a vendor. We will take you to specific shopping locations only if you ask us, so please let us know if there is a particular something you are looking to purchase while in Egypt (sweets, perfumes, jewelry, papyrus paintings, etc). Of course, the ancient market, Khan el Khalili is included in the standard Cairo package for its historical significance and most temples have vendors nearby. Many good gifts and souvenirs can be purchased at these places.
