You have several choices when it comes to tours of Egypt. Basic tours include a guide and some meals. Signature tours offer the typical tourist experience with a short Nile cruise, comfortable accommodations, and some meals. You can also add on an optional trip to Abu Simbel, which is a three to four-hour drive. Tours often don’t include admissions to sites, and you may have to pay up to $100 for these extras. Regardless of the type of tour you choose, all travel within Egypt is done on buses.
