A trip to Egypt is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to many travelers, but with this 8-day package starting at $1,329/person, it may not be so out of reach.

The “Affordable Egypt” package from Gate1 Travel includes round-trip flights to Cairo from New York City, fuel surcharges, domestic Egypt flights, and accommodations for six nights at the Oasis Hotel and Le Passage Heliopolis Hotel & Casino, a 3-day Nile cruise, 12 meals and an English-speaking tour guide.

Why this is a good deal: A flight between NYC and Cairo will set you back close to $900 in early September. Plus, the hotels included in the package have received generally good reviews and are close to major landmarks and the airport.

The itinerary allows for a good balance of sightseeing (Pyramids of Giza, historic mosques, Luxor) and leisure time. This price is valid when you book by June 12 and travel Sept. 1, 8, 15 or 22.
