I personally arrange your pickup from your hotel to make sure everything starts smoothly and comfortably. Free pick-up is available from all hotels and locations in Hurghada, including Makadi Bay and Sahl Hasheesh — wherever you stay, I’ll make sure you’re taken care of. After booking, simply send me your hotel name and room number (if available), and I’ll handle the rest. I will contact you one day before the tour to confirm your exact pickup time and details, so everything is clear and stress-free. Please be ready 10 minutes before at your hotel entrance or main gate, and I’ll be there on time to welcome you. From the very beginning, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after — just like a local friend showing you around Hurghada.

Authentic meal of fresh crab at fish market

Musa is knowledgeable and flexible with the schedule. We ended up turning our visit to the fish market into an authentic experience of picking fresh crab and having it cooked, ready for us to enjoy. Great contrast to the Marina, which makes you wonder whether you have been teleported out of Egypt.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable family visit with Moussa!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable family visit with Moussa! We had an exceptional day as a family (2 adults and 2 children) with Moussa. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful experiences of our stay in Hurghada. Moussa is a passionate guide, very friendly, attentive, and always ready to share the local history and culture. Thanks to him, we discovered the real Hurghada, far from the classic tourist circuits. The visit to the grand mosque was magnificent and very enriching. We also loved strolling through the souk, discovering the fish market, and especially enjoying a delicious meal of freshly prepared fish and seafood there. It was a real treat and a moment that the whole family loved! The organization was perfect, the transport comfortable, and the pace ideal, even with two children. Moussa knew how to make this day interesting for both the adults and the younger ones. A huge thank you to Moussa for his kindness, his professionalism, and his good humor. We 100% recommend this excursion to anyone who wishes to discover authentic Hurghada. An experience we will never forget! 🌟

J'aurais aimé pouvoir faire encore plus, et si la petite Yasmin n'était pas tombée malade, je vous aurais tout donné. Je lui souhaite un prompt rétablissement et un repos complet. Toutes mes pensées vous accompagnent, vous et votre famille. Je vous souhaite de joyeuses fêtes et de merveilleux moments. À l'année prochaine ! 🇹🇷🇹🇷

Outstanding experience! Highly recommend!

Our tour guide was absolutely awesome! From start to finish, he was incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and reliable, making us feel completely comfortable the entire time. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he genuinely cared about making our trip memorable. ​Not only did he give the best advice during the tour, but he also went above and beyond by helping us with "off-topic" recommendations for amazing local food and places to explore on our own. If you want a guide who goes the extra mile, he is the one to choose!

Operator response

Wow—thank you for such amazing words! It was a real pleasure showing you around and sharing some of my favorite local spots. I'm so happy you enjoyed the experience. Egypt will always be waiting for you, and I hope our paths cross again soon. Safe travels! 🇪🇬😊

A peak at the real Hurghada

Shortly after booking, my guide Musa made contact by whatsapp. This was handy, as the day I was supposed to do the trip I was ill. But we he was able to sort a new date and time. As a female travelling alone, I did not want to venture into Hurghada to explore on my own, as I had experienced alot of unwanted attention on my first evening when I went for a short walk outside my hotel complex. In booking this trip, I was able to visit the Mina Mosque and respect the traditions. We also visited the Fish market, the Marina, and stopped for a view over Hurghada City and the nearby mountains. We stopped for refreshments where we watched the most spectacular sunset. From there we visited a Christian church and the fruit and vegetable market. This trip gave me an insight into Hurghada away from the comfort of my beautiful hotel. Musa was a great guide and happy to answer my questions and was attentive to my needs

Operator response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure showing you around Hurghada and helping you discover the local culture beyond the hotel. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and felt comfortable throughout the day. Thank you for your trust, and I hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Musa 🩵🩵
