Who We Are

A Journey Through Time

Pharaoh's Path designs small, private expeditions across Egypt — led by resident Egyptologists, sailed on boutique dahabiyas, and paced so the temples have room to breathe.

  • Private Egyptologists

    Doctoral-level guides, never a crowd of forty.

  • Boutique Nile Sailing

    Dahabiyas and small cruisers, not floating hotels.

  • Unhurried Pacing

    Sunrise access, quiet tombs, time to simply look.

Traveler Accounts

From the Path

★★★★★ 4.9 out of 5 · based on 340 traveler reviews

“We had Karnak nearly to ourselves at dawn. Our guide made four thousand years feel like last week. The dahabiya nights on the Nile were the quietest luxury I've known.”

— Miriam K., Chicago

“The Valley of the Kings VIP permit alone was worth the trip. Every logistic was handled before we thought to ask. Effortless and unforgettable.”

— Daniel R., London

“Balloon over the Valley at sunrise, then tea with our Egyptologist reading the Book of the Dead on the tomb walls beneath us. I still think about it daily.”

— Sara & Youssef, Toronto

Before You Go

Common Questions

Yes. Our routes stay within well-traveled tourist corridors, and every group moves with a private driver and guide. We monitor conditions continuously and adjust itineraries when needed — it has never affected a scheduled departure.

October through April is coolest and most comfortable, with December–February the peak season. May and September are warmer but quieter and better value. We run departures year-round.

Most nationalities can get a visa on arrival at Cairo airport for $25, or apply online in advance for an e-visa. We send exact instructions for your nationality after booking.

Eight to twelve guests depending on the route, and every group has its own guide and vehicle — we never merge groups on-site. Private departures for just your party are also available on request.

Accommodation, listed meals, private transfers, your Egyptologist guide, and all entrance fees on the itinerary. International flights, visas, and personal expenses are not included — see each expedition page for the full breakdown.

Always. Every route on this site is a starting point. Tell us your dates, pace, and interests in the contact form below and a planner will draft something just for your group.
