Kids hated the train but loved the flight

I took my two kids on the 9 day tour and they hated the sleeper train. They couldn't sleep and were cranky. Our guide Mona suggested upgrading to a flight for the return. We paid the extra and the kids loved it. They enjoyed looking out the window and the flight was quick. We also upgraded from shuttle bus to private transfer which gave us more space. The extra night in Cairo was a lifesaver and we visited the zoo. The cruise ship had a pool and the kids swam every day. The Hurghada resort was all inclusive and they ate well. The whole 9 days were great after the upgrade. Admission fee was fair for the package. Length of visit was 9 days. Atmosphere was family friendly and comfortable. Crowd size was about 18 people in our group. Staff were great with children. Best for families who want a stress free trip. Yasser had arranged the upgrades without any hassle.

Friend was glad we had AC in the private car

My friend was glad we upgraded to a private car with good AC. The shuttle bus was hot and stuffy. The private car was cool and comfortable. Our guide Khaled arranged it for us. We also upgraded the sleeper train to a flight which was much faster. The extra night in Cairo gave us time to relax and visit the museum. The cruise ship was beautiful and we enjoyed the temples. The Hurghada resort was relaxing with good food. The whole 9 days were comfortable and enjoyable. Admission fee was fair for the package. Length of visit was 9 days.

Endless inspiration on the Nile

I am a writer and I wanted inspiration. This trip provided plenty. The light on the Nile at dawn. The sound of the call to prayer echoing over the temples. The chaos of the markets. The calm of the cruise ship deck. Our guide told me ancient myths that I am weaving into my current project. The sleeper train felt like a scene from a novel. The Red Sea resort was a sensory reset. The admission fees were included. The atmosphere was creative. Crowd size was background noise. Staff were inspiring. Best for writers and artists.

Operator response

Restorative escape from work

My partner and I are both doctors. We work long hours and rarely take time off. This tour was a reset. We slept late on the cruise ship. We took our time at the temples. Our guide never rushed us. The sleeper train was surprisingly restful. The Red Sea resort had hammocks under palm trees. We did absolutely nothing for two days. The admission fees were included. The atmosphere was restorative. Crowd size was low season calm. Staff were understanding. Best for exhausted professionals.

Operator response

Dear clients, what a great pleasure that you and your partner bad a good relaxing days with us in Egypt

Egypt in comfort 20 years later

I had visited Egypt 20 years ago as a backpacker. This time I wanted comfort. What a difference. The cruise ship instead of overnight buses. Private guide instead of figuring it out myself. The temples were just as magnificent but I appreciated them more without the stress. Our guide was excellent. The sleeper train was comfortable. The Red Sea resort was pure luxury. The admission fees were included. The atmosphere was refined. Crowd size was moderate. Staff were professional. Best for return visitors seeking comfort.

Last minute perfect getaway

We booked this tour last minute through a travel agent. It was the best decision. The communication from the company was clear. They confirmed everything twice. The cruise ship was ready for us. Our guide met us at the train station with a sign. The temples were breathtaking. Abu Simbel was worth the early wake up call. The sleeper train was an authentic experience. The Red Sea resort was a beautiful end to the journey. The admission fees were included and itemized. The atmosphere was seamless. Crowd size was organized. Staff were professional. Best for last minute planners.

History and beach mixed perfectly

I booked this trip thinking it would be just another tour but honestly from the moment we landed everything felt smooth and organized. We took the sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor and I was surprised how comfortable it was. The cabin was clean and the staff helped us with our bags. The cruise ship was way bigger than I expected. Clean sheets good food and the view from the top deck was unreal. We spent 4 days on the boat visiting temples along the Nile. The itinerary was busy but not rushed. Our guide Ahmed was with us the whole time explaining stories from the carvings. I usually get bored in museums but he made it fun. One night we sat on the deck just talking with other travelers. The Red Sea part was pure relaxation. Three days doing nothing but swimming and eating. The coral reef is right there you don't even need a boat. For 9 days the price included almost everything. We paid for some drinks and tips but that's it. The group size was medium not too crowded. Best for people who want history and beach in one go without stress.

Great tour with the most experienced guide!

We managed to see so much in these days and were lucky to have Gaber as our guide. His experience and passion in archeology made the trip special and memorable. We even tailored the trip according to our needs and Gaber took care of everything. Would recommend this to anyone interested in exploring Egypt.
