A standard 7-day Egypt trip from India typically costs between ₹80,000 and ₹1,50,000 per person. This estimate covers round-trip flights, the E-Visa, comfortable 3- to 4-star accommodations, a 3-night Nile Cruise, daily meals, local transport, and entry fees to major historical sites. While flights represent the largest upfront expense, on-ground costs in Egypt are remarkably affordable compared to Europe or even Dubai.
If you are still deciding when to go, check our guide on the Best Time to Visit Egypt, as traveling during shoulder seasons can significantly reduce your hotel and cruise expenses.
Flights from Delhi (DEL) or Mumbai (BOM) to Cairo (CAI) typically cost between ₹45,000 and ₹75,000 round-trip. The most reliable and cost-effective routes involve a single layover via Middle Eastern hubs like Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways), or Abu Dhabi (Etihad). Booking 2-3 months in advance secures the best fares.
To maximize your 7-day Egypt itinerary, domestic flights are highly recommended. Cairo to Luxor or Aswan to Hurghada flights on EgyptAir or Nile Air cost between ₹4,000 and ₹8,000 per sector if booked in advance. Avoid last-minute domestic bookings, as prices can double.
A Nile Cruise is not just transportation; it is your floating hotel and dining experience between Luxor and Aswan. Prices vary significantly based on the season and the level of luxury.
Pro Tip: Many tour operators bundle the Nile Cruise with your overall package, which is often cheaper than booking the cruise and domestic flights separately.
Egypt is highly affordable for Indian palates, with excellent vegetarian options. A meal at a local Koshary restaurant costs just ₹150–₹250. A standard meal at a mid-range restaurant ranges from ₹500 to ₹1,000 per person. Fine dining or hotel restaurants will cost ₹1,500–₹3,000 per person.
Use Uber or DiDi in Cairo and Alexandria to avoid haggling with taxi drivers; a typical 30-minute ride costs ₹300–₹500. For intercity travel, private AC vans arranged by your tour operator cost around ₹15–₹25 per kilometer, making group travel very economical.
