Thomas Cook and the way to see the Nile

When Thomas Cook went bankrupt in September 2019, hundreds of thousands of holiday makers were stranded. Tens of thousands of employees were out of a job, including many local service providers. Thomas Cook and Son was a household name in the travel industry, two men who single-handedly invented organised travel, and paved the way for how many first time travellers to Egypt still experience the Nile today.

When Amelia Edwards visited Egypt in the winter of 1873, the thing to do was to travel by dahabiya, an elegant house boat with sails. After the arrival at Shepheard’s Hotel in Cairo, many time went in selecting the right sized dahabiya at the Boulaq quay with the help of a dragoman. The boat would first have to be sunk in order to get rid of rats and other vermin, and would then be fitted with all the amenities required for life on board. This included new curtains, carpets, paintings, a collection of books and of course, a piano. Preparations were carefully described in Murray’s Handbook for Travellers (1847) by John Gardner Wilkinson, himself an avid Nile traveller.

Travelling up the Nile to Aswan could take up to several weeks, depending on the wind and ubiquitous sandbanks, when the boat would have to be towed by the crew. Everything required for the trip had to be taken on board. After more or less rushing south, the return journey would be taken at a more leisurely pace, driven by the Nile stream, with time to visit the many sites. In the preface to the first edition of A Thousand Miles up the Nile (1877), Edwards writes:

“The choice between dahabeeyah and steamer is like the choice between travelling with post-horses and travelling by rail. The one is expensive, leisurely, delightful; the other is cheap, swift, and comparatively comfortless. Those who are content to snatch but a glimpse of the Nile will doubtless prefer the steamer.”

At that time, steamers had begun to appear on the Nile, rivaling the slower and more expensive dahabiyas. While Edwards’ trip cost about £10 per day ( “everything included except wine” ), tourists would pay but £ 44 (still a considerable sum in today’s terms) for a 20 day cruise to Aswan and back with Cook’s Tours, including food, guides, donkeys and candles to light their way inside dark tombs.

Thomas Cook, born in 1808 in Derbyshire, began his career as a cabinet maker and Baptist missionary, touring the region as an evangelist while distributing pamphlets. The first excursions he organised were walking tours from one town to another in order to attend temperance (anti-liquor) meetings. Next he took people on professional tours to Scotland, the Great Exhibition in London and the Paris World Fair. After numerous trips to Europe and the US, in 1868 he first set foot in the Middle East to test the grounds there.

Cook had opened up shop in London and eventually partnered with his son John, and so in 1871 Thomas Cook & Son was born. John would bring the company commercial success and greatly extended the Nile travel branch. The benefit of travelling with Cook was that negotiated discounts were passed on to the customers, who would pay the travel sum in a single payment. Cook promised security and ease, opening up travel to a wider public and to women who could now join a package tour unchaperoned.

After boarding the Nile steamer at Cairo, a typical itinerary would take the tourist to Memphis and Saqqara around noon, to return to the boat in time for 5 o’clock tea. Bathing would be done aboard in Nile water. For on board entertainment there was a salon with a library and piano. English breakfast was enjoyed on the sun deck, where one could watch the birds, palm groves, fields of sugarcane and river traffic pass by.

On the fourth day, the boat would reach Beni Hassan, with its elaborately decorated Middle Kingdom tombs high up in the cliffs. On day seven the donkeys would be saddled for a visit to the Ptolemaic temple of Dendera. On arrival at Luxor, a moonlit ride would be enjoyed to Karnak. On the West Bank one would visit the impressive temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu, the artists’ village of Deir el-Medina and the quiet Ramesseum. The third day in Luxor was devoted to Hatshepsut’s impressive temple at Deir el-Bahari and as a highlight the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. On the way, antiquities could be bought from enterprising consuls, and the occasional crocodile hunt took place.

After the temples at Esna and Edfu, the stone quarries of Gebel el-Silsila and the temple of Kom Ombo, Aswan would be reached on day thirteen. A visit to the islands of Elephantine and Philae was not to be missed. Optionally, the itinerary could be extended with a trip to the second cataract at Wadi Halfa. In one week, the boat would return to Cairo, calling on Luxor, Abydos and Assyut along the way. When the railway line was extended to Luxor in 1898, one could take an even shorter journey from Luxor to Aswan with stops at Edfu, Esna and Kom Ombo, returning to Luxor after a day in Aswan. Essentially, this is the classic nile cruise still enjoyed by countless tourists today.

In the wake of increasing Nile travel, new hotels were opened along the route such as the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan (built by Thomas Cook in 1899) and the Winter Palace Hotel in Luxor (inaugurated in 1907). The First World War put a temporary stop to touristic activity (although Cook catered to British troops in Cairo), but when the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922, tourists again flocked to Luxor. After the Second World War, a new impetus was given to travel in Egypt by the UNESCO rescue campaigns of Philae and Abu Simbel, until at the end of the 20th century 250 cruise boats would crowd the Nile between Luxor and Aswan. Only the 2011 revolution put a damper on this number.

In 2013, I took a cruise on the stretch of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan to commemorate my first trip to Egypt in 2000, which had included a similar voyage. There were fixed times for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and tea with cake was served on deck at 4 o’clock. A jolly psychiatrist in our company was reading Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile , as was my mother, so every time they ran into each other he asked whether she had found a dead body yet. People were lying on deck in swimming attire, reading their e-reader, even though the wind was quite chilly in January. The tour guide, who was meant to keep us all together, kept getting heart attacks when we decided to take a walk rather than a calèche to the temple of Edfu, or wanted to book our own air balloon, with the rest of the group following.

Nile travel will always have its charm, whether it is on a small motor boat to cross the river at Luxor, a felucca for an hour’s trip before dusk, a cruise boat or a dahabiya. Many cruise boats went out of business after the 2011 revolution and the subsequent decrease in tourism, and it was sad to see all the boats lying idle, sometimes sinking along the Luxor banks. Hopefully tourism in Egypt will reinvent itself to find more sustainable ways of travel, so future travellers can continue to enjoy the Nile for a long way to come.

• Pingback: nice iex thomas cook – Login Database

Your document was very interesting as i was researching material on these Thomas Cooks Nile boats, mainly Hathor. The COLEMAN family who started the Mustard Factory in Norwich has a Wherry named after the Hathor to honour their Son Alan Coleman who died in this boat in Luxor in Feb 1897. The Wherry has an Egyption enterior and was built in 1905. Today i am a meet and greet guide on this Wherry hence the interest checking up on background story. The Wherry is up and running but we need support to maintain it condidtion and thats where i come in. Thanks for our article. Barry Elliott

Best Egypt Tour Packages in 2024

Your ultimate guide to egypt – the land of pharaohs, pyramids and more.

Egypt, a country located in the northeastern corner of Africa, is one of the oldest places on Earth. Rich in history and culture, it has been on almost every traveller’s bucket list. Maybe that's why Egypt tour packages are so popular amongst tourists.

And why wouldn’t it be so popular? From natural attractions to age-old monuments that are still shrouded in mystery, Egypt tour packages tend to give travellers a glimpse of this fascinating country we have read about in books. This African country is home to awe-inspiring pyramids and temples that are a part of most of the Egypt holiday packages and have stood up to the expectations of the travellers and made their Egypt trip unforgettable.

Famous for Red Sea Coast which is home to coral reefs and beach resorts and Sahara leading to refreshing oasis, Egypt holiday packages are something you should definitely look out for. In recent years, Egypt tourism has become very fashionable with the younger crowds. As a result, Egypt tour packages have started to offer more than they used to. It is, however, advisable to research about the country to ensure you have everything you want while browsing Egypt tour packages. We have listed down some information you need to know before you start planning your Egypt trip.

Egypt Tourism: Best Time to Visit

Major parts of Egypt are covered by desert and, as a result, it is warm all year round even in winters. Yet the best time to plan your Egypt tour is during the winter months – October to February. During this time, the temperature varies from 11 to 25 degrees. So, plan your Egypt tour in the months that suit you the best and check out the great deals on Egypt tour packages .

Egypt Tourism: Visa for Indians

Indians who are planning their Egypt tour need to apply for a visa from the Egypt Embassy or the Consulate of India. It is necessary to meet the visa requirements and submit the required documents in order to obtain a visa from India for their Egypt tour. Some Egypt tour packages might just offer visa assistance to help you get the document at the earliest.

Egypt Tourism: Best Places to Visit

Remember the movie ‘The Mummy’? Then you must remember Cairo too. Most Egypt tour packages include Cairo – the fascinating capital of Egypt, rich in history and culture. Your trip to the land of Pharaohs will be incomplete if you miss visiting this magnificent city. This city is the starting point for most Nile cruises and pyramid explorations. So include it in the Egypt holiday packages.

If you have pyramids on your mind, then a trip to Giza should be the next destination on your Egypt tour. It is one of the must-visit places in most of the Egypt tour packages . Giza plateau, which is a part of all the Egypt packages and situated in the immediate vicinity of Cairo, is home to some of the iconic Egyptian monuments. Hence, it is included in most of the Egypt holiday packages. The ultimate highlight of the city is the Pyramid of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the world and the Great Sphinx of Giza. A tour of these two monuments are included in almost all the Egypt packages available.

While going through the Egypt packages, check if Aswan is included or not. Located on the River Nile, it's more calm as compared to Cairo. So, it deserves to be the next destination on your Egypt tour and included in the Egypt tour packages. One can prefer taking a ferry ride on the Elephantine Island or wander in the vibrant streets which will make you relax for the rest of your Egypt trip. Egypt tourism has been a boon for this city as it has become the starting point for excursions to various temples, included in many Egypt holiday packages. So, checkout the Egypt tour packages and ensure Aswan is included in it.

Another city to be added in the Egypt tour packages is Luxor, which sits on River Nile in the east. This city is home to many famous temples like Temple of Karnak, Temple of Hatshepsut and more which are already a part of many Egypt holiday packages. So, spending a few days in this city, admiring colorful tombs and temples should be included in the itineraries of most of the Egypt tour packages .

Checkout for Hurghada in the Egypt tour packages as this is a resort town located next to the Red Sea. If you love diving, then you should definitely look for it in the Egypt holiday packages. This is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the country, with a plethora of hotels along the shore offering a relaxing getaway to the travellers. Ideal Egypt packages would definitely be inclusive of these above listed places.

Egypt Tourism: Local Dishes to Try

The country's national meal is kushari – a blend of rice, macaroni, lentils, and spiced tomato sauce, seasoned with chickpeas and onions. You can’t leave the country without trying this at least once on your Egypt tour. The best place to introduce this dish to your taste buds is Koshary El Tahrir, a restaurant in Cairo. So, while planning your itinerary, make sure to add this place to your day’s itinerary as most Egypt tour packages will include Cairo.

Ful Medames

Ful medames – a blend of crushed fava beans cooked in lemon juice, parsley, garlic, onion, and chilli pepper – is Egypt's second most popular dish and a must try on your Egypt tour. It's served with bread, which acts as a gamosa (or utensil) for eating. The dish is especially popular in Cairo and Giza, which are already a part of many Egypt packages.

Shawarma, a cone filled with pressed chicken or lamb and grilled in flame, is one of the traditional dishes of Egypt and a must try on your Egypt tour. It is usually served with sliced tomato or onion and rolled off in a foil paper. Semsema, which is famous for its juicy shawarmas, is the best place to eat this dish. So, with Cairo included in most of the Egypt tour packages , you should skip this place.

Tamiya, also known as Falafel, is a common street food, made of fava beans and parsley in a flat disc shape. It is usually eaten with salad. Felfela, a restaurant in Cairo, offers the best Tamiya. So, what are you waiting for? Don’t forget to add this place in the Egypt holiday packages and try the best Tamiya in town.

Things to Do on Your Egypt Trip

Sail on the river nile.

Felluca, a wooden sailboat, is where you can relax on the deck, enjoy cocktails and food on board, swim down the riverbed or party with the crew members. Sounds great? So, checkout the Egypt tour packages now and get ready for a cozy experience.

Explore Mummies at Mummification Museum

So, here is a chance to check out the mummification process at the Mummification Museum in Luxor, which is a part of almost all the Egypt packages. It has a mummy room that has most of the famous royal mummies. For a very unique experience, look for this museum in Luxor while browsing Egypt tour packages.

Quad Bike Ride at Giza

A fun activity for tourists to try is Quad Bike rides at Giza. When you look out for Giza in the Egypt packages, don’t forget to add this fun activity in the itinerary. Most of the holiday packages should include this. So, hurry up! Checkout the Egypt tour packages and make your way up and down the sand dunes of Giza.

Watch Sunset at Mount Sinai

Nothing could be more romantic than spending some private time watching a sunset at Mount Sinai with your partner. So, honeymooners should add this place in the Egypt packages. One can either climb up the hill or just take a camel ride. Tourists can also enjoy various cafes and restaurants on the way. Even if you come with your family or friends, Mount Sinai deserves a place in the Egypt tour packages .

Scuba Diving at Hurghada

Divers and marine lovers can opt for scuba diving at Hurghada as this place is located next to the Red Sea. Enjoy underwater photography, beautiful colorful fish and coral reefs while diving. So, don’t forget to look out for Hurghada in the Egypt packages and add this activity in your bucket list.

Egypt Tourism: Souvenirs to Look for

Indians must apply for a visa to enter Egypt and must apply for it in person. Online visas are not available for Indians. You can apply for a visa at the Egypt Consulate in Mumbai. You can choose one of the Egypt tour packages offered by MakeMyTrip which includes a visa to make the process simpler. The visa inclusive tour package costs around INR 58,000 per person. Moreover, most of the Egypt tour packages include flight bookings as well.

Ques. How much does an Egypt trip cost?

Ans. The Egypt tour packages from MakeMyTrip cost anywhere between INR 12,222 to INR 1,04,600 per person. The price depends on the days spent, the number of cities included, and the type of hotel. You will find budget-friendly packages that are suitable for couples and those for families. Visas are not part of most of the tour packages so you will have the visa cost added to the overall expense. Food and other transportation at the destination may not be part of the package. The shortest tour is for 4 nights and 5 days while the longest package has 6 nights and 7 days. They also have the respective cheapest and most expensive prices. The other packages have 5 nights and 6 days. The packages mainly include hotel booking. The other assorted inclusions in these tour packages are flights, transfers from the airport and to and from other cities, activities to do in each city.

Ques. Which Egypt tour packages are the best for couples?

Ans. MakeMyTrip offers many Egypt tour packages for couples. These packages generally have the duration of 6 nights and 7 days but have different cities and activities available. Visas are not included in these packages. But the flights, hotels, and activities will be taken care of. Here are two of the top packages available: Yellow Sands & Blue Waters - Hurghada Special: This is the economical package. The stay will be comfortable and at least one activity of the day is included in the price. The highlights of this trip include attractions in and around Cairo for 4 nights and a two-night stay in Hurghada. Soulmate Special - Cairo & Sharm El Sheikh: This is one of the luxury Egypt tour packages where you get to stay in 4-star hotels and see all the major shows and attractions in Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh.

Ques. Do the Egypt tour packages cover only Cairo?

Ans. No, the Egypt tour packages at MakeMyTrip include three cities altogether. Most packages have only Cairo included. But three packages include either Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada in it. While the Hurghada package is available for 6 nights and 7 days only, the Sharm El Sheikh is available for 5 nights and 6 days as well. Sharm El Sheikh is famous for the desert safari on camels and the quad bike safari through the sand. You must have tickets for both of these and they will be included in the packages. The transfer from the hotel to the location and back is also part of the package cost. Hurghada is known for its resorts and beaches. The stark contrast of golden sand against the blue sea is a spectacular view. You can enjoy the rides to other islands, diving, snorkelling, desert safaris on quad bikes, etc.

Ans. Needless to say that the main attraction in Cairo is the three pyramids. They stand regally as symbols of the ancient marvels and have survived to prove it.

A visit to these pyramids of Giza is part of the Egypt tour packages with the necessary transportation to and from the hotel.

• Day 1: Arrive in Cairo, transfer to the hotel and check-in. Check-in is usually in the afternoon. You can relax for the rest of the day or go out to the city for the night.
• Day 2: Have breakfast at the hotel and visit the pyramids of Giza. It takes about 3 hours. You could also visit the light and sound show in the evening. Tickets for each of these will either be part of the tour package or you can buy them in addition.

Ques. How many days should you spend in Egypt?

Ans. 7 to 14 days is the ideal duration for Egypt tour packages. If you are looking for Egypt tour packages for a quick vacation and want to cover the major places in Cairo, 5 days should be enough. The first day will be your arrival, which will take much time and the final will be your departure day when you will be busy packing up. It leaves you with 3 entire days to explore the pyramids and the Egyptian Museum, visit Alexandria, and explore the city day and night. You can also leave 1-2 days to visit Luxor and explore its attractions.

Ques. What is the best month to go to Egypt?

Ans. Egypt tour packages are available for any month of the year. But you need to choose them according to the weather conditions to help you enjoy the trip. The cooler months in Egypt are from October to April which is also the peak season. If you like to avoid crowds, choose the month before and after the season. The winter season has a temperature range of 21-33 degrees and the other months are much hotter. It is better to avoid the summer season from June to August when the temperatures could go to 36 degrees or higher. You will need some good sunscreen to protect your skin, regardless of the months you visit. If you choose the winter season, make sure that you have reservations and carry some light jackets since the night will be cooler.

Ques. What can you wear and not wear in Egypt?

Ans. The one thing you need to understand while booking any of the Egypt tour packages is the dress code so that you are neither underdressed nor unnecessarily overdressed. While there is no specific dress code for the tourists, there are a few things to keep in mind. Formal clothes are necessary only if you are invited to someone’s home. For men, short pants and sleeveless tops are not allowed inside mosques. Women should make sure to wear appropriate clothes that cover them well including their knees and shoulders. But to enter a mosque they should have their head, hands and legs covered properly.

Ques. How do I travel from Cairo to other cities in Egypt?

Ans. When you book any of the Egypt tour packages with MakeMyTrip, you can add the safe and secure airport transfer for your arrival and departure. As for the transportation to the various tourist sites, you will be getting it if they are part of the travel plan or if you have opted for the same. Otherwise, to travel to the various tourist places, you can get taxis or take the metro. Taxis may be slightly expensive. Buses are not a recommended way of transportation and trains can be crowded.

Ques. How much would an Egypt trip cost from India?

Ans. A trip to Egypt from India would cost around Rs. 70,000 to 80,000 per person including flights.

Ques. What can you see in Egypt in 7 days?

Ans. On a 7-day trip, you can visit various attractions in Egypt such as Egyptian pyramids, Khan El Khalili, Egyptian Museum, Coptic Churches, Citadel and Mohamed Ali Mosque, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Valley of the kings, Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, The Temple of Horus at Edfu, Temple of Kom Ombo, Aswan High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk, Philae Temple and Abu Simbel Temples.

Tour Name: 5 Days Tour of Group Witnessing Egypt’s Jewels

Experience Date: 22 April, 2024

My fiancé and I booked a private 5 day tour of Egypt with ETP starting in Cairo followed Read More by Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor. We just got home and continue to talk about how amazing the trip was. The communication with ETP was excellent. Very fast responses and they are very accommodating. Our tour was nonstop which was okay by us as we wanted to see all the sights in 4 days. Read Less

Tour Name: Experience Egypt Cultural Sightseeing in 10 Days

This was the trip of a lifetime that I was able to have with my eldest son - an absolutely Read More amazing experience. To be able to actually see the places and artifacts that I had read about and studied was truly phenomenal. Our hotels were great, the travel to and from sites was completely taken care of, we never felt unsafe or left to our own devices, and the itinerary was just right. But what made the experience so fab was our two guides - Mahmoud Nour in Luxor/Aswan/Abu Simbel and "Max" in Cairo/Memphis/Saqqara. They taught us history and context as it related to each site we visited and they indulged my myriad questions. They were both so incredibly knowledgeable and my questions were never ignored or unanswered. In addition, they shared their culture with us and treated us to some awesome dining experiences. We were reminded that Egypt is more than just ancient ruins. I would recommend without reservation this tour experience. And "hats off" to Mahmoud and Max!!! I left feeling like I had made some great new friends. And I can't wait to try some home-made kushari. Read Less

Tour Name: Experience Egypt in 9 Days

Egypt Tours Portal is an excellent company to use to arrange your visit to Egypt. They wor Read More k with phenomenal guides (we had Mahmoud Nour in Upper Egypt and Mohsen aka Max in Lower Egypt...I would recommend asking for these guides by name, as they were truly superb), make all the necessary arrangements in terms of drivers, covid testing, hotels, and in-country flights, and can tailor your tour to whatever it is you most want to see. The entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Both Mahmoud and Max spoke excellent English, were extremely knowledgeable, and went out of their way to ensure our experience was everything we hoped it would be. This was the second time I have used ETP, and I will continue to recommend them to anyone who expresses any interest in exploring Egypt. We especially liked that our tour group was limited to only our party, which meant we got one-on-one attention at all the sites, and allowed us to get answers to all our questions. And for those of you who are worried about safety or health in Egypt, in our experience it was extremely safe, and we never had any issues related to COVID-19. Cannot recommend Egypt Tours Portal enough. Choose them, you won't regret it. Read Less

Tour Name: 5 Days Nile River Cruise Luxor to Aswan

Highly recommend this tour company!!! Our guides, Moses, Mahmoud, Magred and Mohamed were Read More exceptional, their knowledge of the history is more that accurate, they are also very patient!! For the price and all the attractions, the Nile cruise and the included meals.....well worth it!!! It is a very busy tour, but well worth it!!! Read Less

This review is a late, but I had to provide some feedback. My brother and I went on vacati Read More on in October 2022 and booked with Egypt Tours Portal. With on-line scams on-going, I was a little wary at first. BUT, the experience was amazing. Personal guides and drivers, lodging, food was amazing and perfect. The guides were very knowledgeable, but more importantly PASSIONATE about their job and culture. They went out of their way to take care of us. If you happen to get Zeze or Marianne, you have gotten the best. Read Less
