Once in a lifetime
Don't think it is an easy walk. It's steep and cold on the mountain. But it was fantastic and very well organised.

The Best, Honest, Most Competitive Transportation Company in Sharm el-Sheikh. Look no further. Will not be disappointed
EgyptLand Tours provided our family with the most excellent, honest and competitive service ever From the moment EgyptLand Tours picked us up from Sharm el-Sheikh Airport to take us to our hotel in Nama Bay and then transporting us in a modern superior touring van to St Catherine's Monastry in the Sinai desert, everything was superbly organised. Not only was the company punctual and processional, but the driver was also most kind and considerate in dealing with my elderly parents. In view of this exceptional treatment, we hsd no hesitation to ask Hany, the director of the company, to arrange efficient transport to Cairo from the SInai via Suez, where we all had had a tasty lunch break feasting on traditional Egyptian food, after which we marvelled at the legendary canal and the numerous ships using this famous waterway. Hany also organised for us to travel by a new private vehicle from Cairo to Alexandria. He subsequently provided transportation from Egypt's second city on the Mediterranean to the uncrowded new Sphinx Airport outside Cairo for our flights back to the UK. Each of the various travel segments was competitively priced and faultless. Hany was readily forthcoming to give trustworthy tourist advice and made salient suggestions that made our 18 day trip to Egypt truly memorable. I cannot recommend EgyptLand tours highly enough. We will certainly be availing ourselves of Hany's superlative services on our next trip to the Land of the Pharaohs.
