Accessible Travel in Egypt

Our commitment

We take 5% off every tour for guests travelling with accessibility requirements. It is applied when we confirm your booking — you do not need to ask or prove anything.

More importantly, we will tell you the truth about what is workable. Egypt is a difficult country for wheelchair users and we would rather be honest than sell you a disappointing day.

Generally manageable

The Giza plateau — much of it can be seen from the vehicle and the panoramic point, and the ground near the Great Pyramid is firm.

The Grand Egyptian Museum — fully step-free, with lifts and loaned wheelchairs.

Karnak Temple — largely flat, though the surface is uneven stone.

Nile cruises — most boats have lifts between decks, though cabin doorways are narrow.

Genuinely difficult

Tomb interiors in the Valley of the Kings — steep ramps and steps, no exceptions.

Inside the Great Pyramid — a low, steep passage requiring you to bend double.

Mount Sinai — a three-hour night climb ending in 750 stone steps.

Islamic Cairo — cobbles, steps and narrow crowded lanes.

What we can arrange

Vehicles with ramp access and space for a folding chair.

A second guide as an additional pair of hands at no charge.

Slower itineraries with fewer sites per day and longer breaks.

Hotels we have personally checked for step-free access rather than taken on trust from a website.
