Egypt & Jordan Discovery Tour 12-Day Cairo, Nile Cruise, Petra, Dead Sea

I saw a post on an Egypt trip facebook group recommending this company. Unfortunately, I spent literally months trying to book a trip with this company for a custom trip to Egypt and Jordan for my family. They sent me their boilerplate trip document once, and one other time made corrections in that whole 3 month period. They were very inconsistent with responding to me. When I followed up several times, after every 3rd email they would respond quickly saying they were off for the evening and they would get back to me the next day, and then the cycle would continue. I tried email and WhatsApp with polite follow up with a Senior Travel consultant, Niveen, and was never successful in keeping a conversation consistently going. I eventually grew to have serious reservations about them being able to deliver a quality experience on the ground if they couldn't be consistent with communication. I ended up booking my trip (now last minute) with another group with whom I had a complete opposite experience. They would always get back to me in a day or two and I never needed to follow up (Memphis Tours). Needless to say, I would look elsewhere so you don't waste your time.

We just got back from a two weeks trip to Egypt with Look at Egypt tours. Thanks to the incredible team: Ayat our tour operator and Ezz, our tour leader, so patient and responsive. Very professionnal, They were pretty much available 24/7 and responded quickly :). They manage my schedule to respond our needs and modify it when needed (ex. Change hotel so I could be downtown in front of the Pyramids or modify/cancel the Jordan part because of the political situation, so we ended up adding a week in Egypt). The trip was well paced and we really felt, my husband and I, that we maximised our time. Our guides, in north and south Egypt, were knowledgable and our private driver, Saleh, drove us around securely and always on time in a clean car. Visit Egypt was a « bucketlist » projet and you made it possible. Thanks to you Look at Egypt tours :). You are definitely a 5 stars company!

WHERE DO I BEGIN?!! I wish I could give six stars. This was the trip of a lifetime, and went beyond ALL expectations from every aspect. I went with my father from Feb 6-Feb 18th. We got to explore both Egyptian museums, the pyramids, the Serapeum at Saqqara, several temples, take cruise down the Nile river starting in Luxor with stops along the way to Aswan, and then fly to Jordan to visit Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea. We had Dalia as our guide in Cairo/Giza, Mohammed in Luxor, Aswan, temples, Nubian Village, etc, and a local guide for Petra. Dalia was amazing, very personable and incredibly knowledgeable. Mohammed was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about all of the history of Egypt- he was truly remarkable and fun to be around, educating us with a sense of humor. All drivers were incredible, really caring about our safety. They showed up on time with a great attitude. Mahmoud (affectionately known to us as Moody), was our main organizer and point of contact. He has become a close friend (since this was my dad’s 3rd trip to Egypt), and even welcomed us into his home to enjoy an incredible dinner with his wife and 3 children. He is now a lifelong friend and brother to us. This trip changed my life, and I will always cherish the memories we made along the way. Moody, thank you for being there for us every step of the way and treating us like family with grace and sensitivity to every single detail. We love you and your company, and will tell everyone we know it is a MUST to book through Look at egypt tours!

There are not enough words to express our experience and appreciation, the trip was excellent. Our most profound thanks to our tour guides and drivers. Everything was perfect, the hotels, the food, the sites and attention to detail. They were completely professional and puntual. Thanks to the Egypt crew, they were fantastic. The sites were a complete WOW! My only complaint was the Nile Cruise, the room was out of date, tiny, the bed was fatal, no internet nor TV. Cell signal reception was really weak, no WhatsApp. Jordan's portion was mystifying. Mo, great job. Petra, Jerash, the Dead Sea and John the Baptist site (this last was an addition to the trip) they were much more than expected. To all, once again, thanks, you made our trip worry free, enjoyable and we felt that we were traveling with family. God Bless.

This Jordan/Egypt trip was a bucket list for me from my childhood! Pros - I saw the wonderful sites thanks to Look at Egypt Tours. Cons - 1. The one thing that made things really sour was the Lead Guide/Co-Ordinator forcefully asking us to withdraw money at midnight as we landed into Cairo (never mind the full jet lag we were in!) and demanding how much tip needs given to all there. 2. Once during the trip there were two drivers, who both needed tipping. Once there were two guides both needing tipped!! I understand tipping is a culture in some countries, but this should not be used as an emotional blackmail. After all, we save for such momentous trip and have it soured...!! We tried few other Viator service providers and they were brilliant!

We had a great time with this company. I travel to 3-4 new countries a year and this was sooo much fun! I Traveled with my husband and 6 of our friends. We had a lovely time. Zero issues. Shout out to our Egyptian guides/staff - Rhonda, Mamoud, Moo, and Aboud (Jordan). We felt safe, educated, and pampered on our stay. When the GEM opens we will be back and will tour with Look at Egypt and Rhonda again in Cairo! She was the best. The mountains Mamoud moved for us - shawarma at 4am, getting us through the airport- we felt we had the VIP treatment. Also can’t forget Fayrouz in the office, I think she answered all 100 emails I sent with kindness and quickly. Shokran to all that made our trip a trip of a life time!

Such amazing and well organized trip to Egypt and Petra. Drivers and tour guides were always puntual. Very knowledgeable, patient and kind. Experience of a lifetime. Will definitely do this tour again in the near future.
