Yes, absolutely. Tia Tours offers both ready-made packages and tailor-made tours. If you would like to add specific attractions, adjust the schedule, extend your time at a site, or create a fully private program, our team can design a personalized itinerary that matches your interests, pace, and travel style.

A private tour is designed only for you, your family, or your friends. It includes a dedicated vehicle and guide, giving you more flexibility, privacy, and control over the pace of the tour. A group tour joins you with other travelers and follows a fixed itinerary, which can be a more budget-friendly option.

Yes, most of our tours and transfers are family-friendly. We can adjust the pace of the tour to suit families with children. However, some activities, such as desert safaris or very long day trips, may not be suitable for very young children. You can contact our team for guidance before booking.

Yes, our historical tours are led by licensed Egyptologists and experienced tour guides. They help bring Egypt’s ancient history, culture, and landmarks to life through clear explanations, stories, and local insights.

Most of our historical tours include entrance fees to major landmarks such as temples, museums, and archaeological sites. Any exclusions will be clearly mentioned in the tour description before booking, so you know exactly what is included.

Some tours include lunch at a local restaurant, hotel, or onboard a cruise. This will always be mentioned in the tour details. Beverages, personal snacks, and special meals are usually not included unless clearly stated.

Yes, many bookings can be paid online or by credit card, depending on the selected service. For shopping in local markets or small stalls, cash is often preferred. We recommend carrying some Egyptian Pounds for tips, small purchases, and traditional market visits.

Larger souvenir shops may accept credit cards, but small vendors and traditional markets such as Khan el-Khalili usually operate on a cash-only basis. Carrying small Egyptian Pound notes will also help you bargain more easily.

We provide modern, air-conditioned vehicles with professional drivers. For larger groups, minibuses or coaches can be arranged. For private tours, you will enjoy exclusive transfers for added comfort and flexibility.

Our transfer service monitors flight schedules. If your flight is delayed, your driver will adjust the pickup time accordingly at no additional cost. Please make sure to provide accurate flight details when booking your airport transfer.

Yes, ATMs are available at major airports, hotels, and tourist areas such as Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan, and Hurghada. It is still a good idea to carry some cash upon arrival for tips, small purchases, public restrooms, and local markets.

The easiest and most reliable option is to exchange money at the airport bank upon arrival, where you can get an official rate. Hotels also offer exchange services, although rates may be slightly less favorable. Avoid exchanging money with street vendors.

Many solo female travelers visit Egypt and enjoy wonderful experiences. We recommend dressing modestly, staying aware of your surroundings, and avoiding quiet areas late at night. Booking private tours or joining organized group tours can provide an extra layer of comfort and safety.

Our customer support team is available 24/7 by phone, email, or WhatsApp. You can contact us before, during, or after your journey for assistance, updates, or travel support.

Yes. We recommend carrying snacks, bottled water, and sugary drinks in case of low blood sugar. Please inform your guide about your condition so they can help plan breaks, meals, and restroom stops when needed. Keep medications in your carry-on luggage during travel.

Accessibility depends on the location. Some modern hotels and tourist sites, such as parts of the Giza Plateau, are more wheelchair-friendly, while ancient sites such as tombs in the Valley of the Kings may have limited access due to their historic structure. Please contact us with your needs so we can recommend the best accessible itinerary.

Yes, we can design comfortable private tours for elderly travelers with a slower pace, private transportation, shorter walking distances, and well-planned rest stops. Our team can adjust the itinerary to match comfort level and mobility needs.

For historical tours, we recommend comfortable clothing, walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. For desert activities, snorkeling trips, or Nile cruise programs, specific instructions will be shared after booking.

Luxor mornings can be cool, especially in winter. Wear layers, including a light jacket or sweater, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. Do not forget your camera so you can capture the sunrise views over the West Bank.

Summer in Egypt, especially from June to August, can be extremely hot. Temperatures in Luxor and Aswan may exceed 40°C or 104°F. We recommend planning tours early in the morning or late afternoon, drinking plenty of water, wearing sunscreen, and resting indoors during midday.

Nile cruises usually offer generous buffet-style meals with a mix of Egyptian dishes and international cuisine. Breakfast and lunch are often served as buffets, while dinner may be a buffet or set menu. Dietary requirements can usually be arranged with advance notice.

Yes, Egyptian cuisine is very vegetarian-friendly. Popular dishes such as koshari, falafel, foul medames, stuffed vegetables, salads, and lentil dishes are often suitable for vegetarian or vegan travelers. Most hotels, restaurants, and cruises can also accommodate dietary preferences.

Yes, modest dress is required when visiting religious sites. Women should cover their hair, arms, and legs when entering mosques, and everyone must remove their shoes before entering a mosque. Photography may be allowed in some places, but it is always important to be respectful of worshippers.

It is always polite to ask for permission before taking a photo of someone, especially local people going about their daily lives. Some people may accept happily, while others may expect a small tip. Respecting privacy is an important part of responsible travel.

Bargaining is common and expected in many traditional markets. Start by offering less than the first quoted price, then negotiate calmly and politely. If the price is not suitable, you can smile and say “La, shukran,” which means “No, thank you,” and walk away.

Public restrooms at tourist sites and rest stops may charge a small fee, usually around 5 to 10 Egyptian Pounds. They may not always provide toilet paper, so it is useful to carry tissues and small change with you.

Smoking is common in Egypt, but there are restrictions in some enclosed public places such as government buildings, hospitals, and educational institutions. Many restaurants and cafés have smoking and non-smoking areas. It is polite to ask before smoking in shared spaces.

Most hotels, Nile cruise ships, and many cafés offer Wi-Fi, although speeds can vary. For reliable internet while traveling, buying a local Egyptian SIM card with a data package upon arrival is usually the best option. Mobile providers such as Vodafone, Orange, and Etisalat offer tourist-friendly plans at major airports.

Egypt is a conservative country, and public displays of affection between same-sex couples should be avoided. LGBTQ+ travelers are advised to exercise discretion, especially outside major tourist hotels and private settings. Private tours can offer more privacy, comfort, and flexibility during the trip.
