About this trip

Embark on Haitian Nomad's 6th Annual Epic Trip to Egypt, where we marry the allure of ancient wonders with the comfort of modern luxury. This year, we invite you to unravel the mysteries of a civilization cradled by history, with an exclusive itinerary designed for the discerning traveler.


Your journey begins at the prestigious Four Seasons hotel in Cairo, a haven of elegance positioned a mere whisper away from the majestic Pyramid of Giza, the enigmatic Sphinx, the treasure trove of the Egyptian museum, and the resplendent golden Mask of King Tutankhamun.


As the sun dips below the horizon, the adventure continues in Luxor, where you will embark on a luxury river cruise along the life-giving waters of the historical Nile. Embrace the grandeur of the past as you visit the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak. In a display of exclusivity, we offer a private nighttime visit to the Valley of the Kings, allowing you to beat the crowds and the sun & wander through the hallowed corridors of three Pharaohs' tombs, bathed in the mystical stillness of the night.


The voyage sails onward to Aswan, a tapestry of ancient and contemporary threads. Here, you'll experience the vibrant heart of local culture with a visit to an authentic Nubian Village, where the colors, tastes, and sounds of the region come to life.


Join us for this unparalleled luxury expedition that promises not just a holiday, but a profound journey through time and opulence.


*** Children are welcomed on this trip but it is not suitable for children younger than 7 years old and parents must have full control of their kids in order to not interfere other guests' experience.

Who is this trip for?

Our Epic Trip to Egypt is tailored for the adventurous soul with a penchant for the finer things in life. It's a journey perfect for those who yearn to witness the grandeur of ancient history with the plush comforts of modern luxury. However, it is important to note that this trip involves an extensive amount of walking, often on uneven and sandy terrain, under the Egyptian sun.


This experience is designed for travelers who are physically fit and able to spend hours on foot, exploring the vast temple complexes, navigating the steps of historical sites, and strolling through vibrant local villages. We immerse ourselves fully in the wonder of Egypt’s historical riches, which requires a good level of mobility and endurance.


If you are someone who delights in discovery, who can handle the demands of a full-day’s exploration, and who finds joy in the details of ancient architecture and the stories etched in stone, this trip is for you. It's for those who seek to step out of the ordinary, to learn, and to be inspired by the world's timeless wonders.


Unfortunately, this trip is not suitable for individuals with limited mobility due to the physical demands of the itinerary. We strive to ensure the comfort and safety of all our guests and would advise that the intensive nature of the tours may not be accommodating for those requiring mobility assistance.


For the active and inquisitive traveler, for the seeker of beauty and knowledge, this is an invitation to be part of a select group. We welcome the intrepid, the culturally curious, and the history enthusiasts to join us in this journey of discovery, luxury, and adventure. If the call of ancient Egypt speaks to you and you're ready to traverse its landscapes on foot, then this epic experience awaits.

Optional Hot air balloon experience

Embarking on a hot air balloon journey over the Valley of the Kings at the break of dawn offers a perspective like no other. As the balloon inflates and the burners ignite, anticipation builds until you're gently lifted off the ground, ascending into the cool, crisp morning air. The world below shrinks away, revealing a panoramic vista of the ancient necropolis, bathed in the soft golden hues of the rising sun. The silence of flight is profound, punctuated only by the occasional roar of the balloon's flames.


Below, the timeless landscape of the Valley of the Kings stretches out in a tapestry of history and mystery, the resting places of Egypt’s mightiest pharaohs appearing as mere dots against the vast, rugged terrain. The serpentine path of the Nile river carves through the landscape, flanked by verdant fields and stark desert, a lifeline that has fed the region for thousands of years.


In this serene solitude, floating above the world, time seems to stand still. The hot air balloon offers a bird's-eye view that the ancient Egyptians could only have dreamed of, a majestic and peaceful sojourn above lands that have witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties. This ethereal experience, gliding over the cradle of civilization, is not just a visual feast but a soul-stirring adventure that connects you to the past in the most enchanting way possible.

Tipping

Embarking on an adventure through Egypt is as exhilarating as it is culturally enriching, and to ensure your experience is seamless, we've thoughtfully planned every detail, including the customary practice of tipping. To facilitate a smooth journey and to express our appreciation for those who contribute to the enrichment of our travel experience, we will collect $300 USD per participant upon arrival in Egypt. This collective tipping fund is meticulously allocated to cover gratuities for your Egyptologist guide and the entire spectrum of service providers: from the drivers who navigate the bustling streets, to the luggage porters who handle your belongings with care, the dedicated Nile cruise crew who ensure a memorable sojourn, the personal bodyguards who ensure our safety, to the restaurant staff who provide delectable culinary experiences, and airport facilitators who streamline our passage. This arrangement not only simplifies the process for our guests but also ensures fair and generous recognition for the hardworking individuals who go above and beyond to make our Egyptian adventure truly unforgettable.

As usual, Haitian Nomad did a wonderful job curating and planning this trip. The food, accommodations and activities were all amazing. There were some circumstances that could have led to the trip going south but Richard was fast-acting and worked hard to ensure we had a good trip. I enjoy learning the culture and history of each county I visit. The tour guides for this trip were so knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of their country.

Debbie's 65th birthday Celebration in Indonesia was a wonderful experience. Haitian Nomad provided a loving and caring hostess who worked tirelessly to meet the needs of all who attended. I discovered I had multiple fears I never knew I needed to overcome. My trip to Bali, Indonesia, was the first trip outside of the United States other than the Caribbean and Canada, and it wouldn't have happened without the extra push of Debbie's invitation and celebration. This trip challenged me to experience life through the new cultural experiences and lens of others who wanted to celebrate this momentous occasion that only occurs once in a lifetime. Attending this trip opened my eyes to a beautiful place that provided excellent accommodations that catered to each of our palettes with a lovely sister/friend. The driver was quite pleasant, and the host was immaculate. We could take multiple images of various things, such as the temples, the numerous photo options utilizing swings, restaurants, and the King and Queens to share them with. I was happy to be invited and hope it won't be the last as we have learned from each other.

This trip was absolutely amazing. Richard went above and beyond when hosting this trip. We were able to learn the culture and experience the Medina during the day and night. We ate amazing food and enjoyed a wonderful hotel and Riad. We can't wait to take another trip.

My favorite memory was when I celebrated my 50th birthday all year. During this year, I experienced my first trip to Haiti and Saut-d'eau. I got no picture to share. 🚫 This was a spiritual voyage for me, but I didn’t know it until I experienced it. This trip was also a highlight of my life. Thank you HNM! Congratulations on your success! Donna Marie

My trip to the Amalfi Coast with Haitian Nomad was beyond Excellent. Haitian Nomad exceeded my expectations in quality, organization, and leadership. Richard's leadership qualities and abilities are what you look for when hiring a company hosting trips all over the world with over 20+ participants at one time. The Amalfi Coast was my first trip this past June - and it won't be my last. I enjoyed everything from the beginning - all the way to the end. The accommodations and comradery was great. I have to say that I have met some amazing people that I will continue to build a relationship with. Do not hesitate..... choose a destination and give Haitian Nomad a try..... Happy Traveling.

Let me start off with saying I had a ball on the trip. Toi was the best ambassador she had everything planned out for us. It was a trip that was well needed and I was glad that I took the chance to go half way around the world and I had a blast. Toi gets 200 stars she was the best. I would go on another trip as long as Toi is the ambassador. Toi thank you so much for showing up and showing out the best. I had a blast.
