The allure of Egypt lies in its seamless fusion of antiquity and authenticity.

For Spanish tourists, Egypt offers more than just monumental pyramids—it provides a narrative that echoes Spain’s own love for history, art, and spirituality.

From Moorish arches to Roman mosaics, Spaniards are no strangers to ancient grandeur, and Egypt presents it on an epic scale.

Spanish passport holders are eligible for an Egyptian tourist visa, which can be obtained online through the official e-visa portal or on arrival at major airports.

Cairo: Meet Ancient Majesty

Cairo is a sensory overload in the best way.

Its streets hum with energy, its skyline pierced by minarets and towers, and its museums bursting with artifacts that span thousands of years.

The Egyptian Museum alone could rival the Prado in grandeur and significance.

Giza Plateau: Pyramids and the Sphinx

Just outside Cairo, the pyramids rise from the desert like stone sentinels. These colossal structures defy logic and time.

The enigmatic Sphinx, eternally gazing, only deepens the mystery.

Luxor: The World’s Greatest Open-Air Museum

Home to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple, this city was once the capital of the New Kingdom.

Spanish travelers often compare its magnificence to the architectural richness of Andalusia—only tenfold and sun-drenched.

Aswan: Serene Temples and Nubian Culture

Tranquil and rich in cultural contrasts, Aswan lies along the Nile’s southern stretch.

It’s a gateway to Abu Simbel, whose rock-hewn temples are among Egypt’s most astonishing.

A felucca ride at sunset here is pure poetry.

Alexandria: Mediterranean Breeze with a Historical Soul

For those who appreciate the sea, Alexandria blends Greco-Roman ruins with modern Mediterranean flair.

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina pays homage to one of the ancient world’s greatest libraries and is a must-visit for the intellectually curious.

Sharm El Sheikh: Diving into the Red Sea

If the sun and sea are what you seek, Sharm El Sheikh rivals Spain’s Costa del Sol with underwater wonders.

Coral reefs, clear waters, and luxurious resorts make this a top spot for both adventure and relaxation.

Iconic Experiences on Egypt Tours from Spain

Cruising the Nile River

A multi-day cruise between Luxor and Aswan unveils Egypt at an unhurried pace.

Sailing past ancient temples and palm-lined villages offers both serenity and spectacle.

Desert Safaris in Sinai and the Western Desert

Explore Egypt’s otherworldly landscapes on 4×4 desert safaris, camel rides, or even overnight stays in Bedouin camps under a canopy of stars.

The Western Desert’s White and Black Deserts are visual marvels.

Visiting Ancient Tombs and Temples

From the Tomb of Tutankhamun to the Temple of Philae, each site is a portal to a world ruled by gods, kings, and sacred rituals. Spanish visitors often draw parallels to Roman ruins but these predate them by millennia.

Shopping in Cairo’s Bazaars

Khan El Khalili is a labyrinth of color, aroma, and sound. Bargain for spices, silver, perfumes, or handwoven textiles. It’s a feast for the senses and a treasure trove for souvenirs.

Tailored Tour Packages for Travelers from Spain

We offer all-inclusive Egypt packages with Spanish-speaking guides, curated itineraries, and local experiences.

We spent 9 days in Egypt on a tour organised by EgyptaTours visiting Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Alexandria. We had a fantastic experience. Everything went very smoothly - from meeting us at Cairo Airport, assisting with luggage, hotel check-ins, having qualified knowledgeable Egyptologists as our tour guides, organising meals. Even when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled for the next day, they were able to adjust and accommodate for our circumstance. Big thanks to Mr Selim for being our tour operator at EgyptaTours He provided excellent service organising our tour - professional, friendly, responsive and communicative. He did a fantastic job. All our tour guides were excellent (Mona in Cairo, Abd ElMegeed in Aswan, Abdelrhman in Luxor) were all very knowledgeable, informative and friendly. The drivers were also terrific, being able to safely navigate through the at times crazy traffic in Egypt.

(If I could, I would give 6 ⭐️ ) Our experience with Egypta Tours was truly exceptional from start to finish. The organization, consistency, and overall planning were at a top level. What stood out the most for us was how the entire program was fully customized to match our personal needs and preferences. We started with a basic idea and, with their help, shaped it exactly the way we wanted. This made our trip truly unique and perfectly tailored to us. The guides and drivers were outstanding professionals, making us feel like VIPs throughout the entire journey. A special mention goes to Mona, the guide we had for most of the trip. She was amazing — friendly, knowledgeable, detailed, and genuinely caring. She made us feel like friends and played a key role in making our experience unforgettable. Transportation in Egypt, which can often be challenging, was handled with excellent organization and ease. Everything was well-coordinated, punctual, and smooth, giving us a great sense of comfort and security. We would highly recommend Egypta Tours to anyone looking to experience Egypt without stress, with high-quality service and a truly personalized touch.

We had an absolutely incredible time in Egypt, thanks to EgyptaTours! They planned and organized our customized itinerary seamlessly, making the entire trip hassle-free and unforgettable. Selim was a most gracious host, going above and beyond to make us feel at home. From the breathtaking White Desert safari to camping in the Black Desert, from an awe-inspiring hot air balloon ride in Luxor to perfectly arranged inter- and intra-city transfers, every detail was handled flawlessly. Selim also personally showed us around Cairo, making sure we experienced the best of the city. Everything was splendid, and the trip was not just memorable but also very affordable. If you’re planning a trip to Egypt, we highly recommend EgyptaTours for a smooth, well-organized, and truly special experience!

Family Tour We had Had a great tour with mona and Abdul to the pyramids and sphinx as well as a flexible tour to see some Egyptian historical sites. they guided us everywhere and was very detailed and knowledgeable in his explanations. We also had free time to roam as well and take some photos. It was nice to have an affordable private tour instead of navigating with a large group. Would recommend, thanks EgyptaTours!

Tour Review I planned a trip for my husband and I to come to Egypt for 2 weeks andI wanted to see as much as possible while we were here. I found EgyptaTours and was very pleased with the itinerary options they offered. My agent was super helpful in the planning process and the accommodations once we arrived to Egypt were OUTSTANDING. Our guides were fabulous, communicative, highly knowledgeable, and super friendly. They even allowed us to alter our itenerary in Egypt to allow us time to see some new things that we didn't know about while planning the trip! We had a wonderful experience and i recommend this company to anyone who wants to see Egypt and learn about the amazing history and culture.

Exceptional Service Highly Recommended Nile Cruise Booking Trying to organise a Nile Cruise can be challenging with so many options and so many different cruise companies and price points. I have recently booked a Nile Cruise with Egypta Tours and our personal tour operator Amr has been excellent, extremely responsive and stood out from all the other operators I engaged with during the research and booking process.
