Reviews for Egypt

It was excellent! Thanks to the tour operator who is well-organized and didn’t miss a beat anywhere! They paired us with wonderful guides (Ahmed Hallel in Cairo) and all arrangements were made well and accessible throughout, and if not accessible, arrangements were made alternatively. We thoroughly enjoyed the journey and think it was well priced.read more

We all loved this holiday so much. It was our favourite part of our trip to Egypt. I would highly recommend this to any group/family that want to experience a bit more than the usual sites that Egypt offers.read more

Fabulous. Extraordinary. The memorable parts were traveling on the Nile River by boat, learning about Egyptian history and culture from an Egyptologist.read more

This trip was unforgettable in many ways... The pace was slow, beautifully orchestrated and allowed us to see the beauty of Egypt-a country I know well but one that I have never experienced in this way.read more

Excellent. The quality of the guide and attention to detail and I think very good value for money.read more

I had lived in Cairo as a child, so it was special to return after so many years to enjoy its history. Cairo is an overwhelming city and having a private guide and driver was well-worth the money. read more

Very memorable.read more

10/10 - perfection - the best thing we did in Egypt! Crew are wonderful and food was delicious. Waking up in the morning and watching the sun rise from our felucca on the Nile, with a buffalo grazing on the river bank.read more

Intensive, educational, luxurious and a very interesting first visit to North African region.read more

Great break with a packed programme in a great city of the world. Allow more time than the standard suggested itinerary if you want to do more than a whistle-stop tour of Cairo’s treasures.read more

Walking where kings and pharaohs lived 4000BC is just incredible. Our holiday was exhilarating, frustrating (so many persistent vendors!!), eye-opening, incredible. read more

I was pleased to visit Abu Simbel and I was delighted at how well the kids hit it off and entertained themselves.read more

Overall the holiday was very good. As a solo female travelling in Egypt the personal guides and support made the holiday far less stressful and felt very safe at all times even when I went on walkabout on my own I knew help was only a phone call away! read more

The hot air balloon was the highlight.read more

4 starsread more

Breath-taking sunrises and sunsets on the Nile and the chance to get closer to nature, with a nice touch of gorgeous local Egyptian cuisine. It is a rare opportunity to get a glimpse of local village life.read more

The most memorable has to be the temples at Abu Simbel. The most enjoyable was the four days drifting up the Nile in our dahabiya.read more

5 starsread more

Fascinating, good Mid-Eastern food, and spectacular Wonders of the Worldread more

A perfect holiday! All of our holiday was memorable and exciting, from the Pyramids, Sphinx, museums, Nile cruise and Balloon flight. What also enhanced our excursions were two very knowledgeable tour guides.read more

Can’t choose a single highlight, the ancient history and sights were awesome, and the people in Egypt and Jordan were equally hospitable and warm.read more

Excellent. Hard to pick one but I guess the Tutankhamun exhibition in the museum in Cairo. Be prepared for full on excitement and experience. read more

This was a fantastic trip in all ways. The boat was comfortable and the crew was experienced and hospitable. I have travelled in dozens of countries on five continents, and this was one of the best trips I’ve taken.read more

Truly memorable, we fell in love with Dahab, the hotel and people. We will most definitely be returning more than once which is extremely rare for us....The operator arranged a trip for us with local Bedouin to take us on an evening supper and visit to a canyon - a simple, authentic experience rather than the bigger more commercial tourist trips. Small group of us and really memorable. read more

Seeing the bright colours and sheer numbers of different fish and corals under the sea was incredible - an experience I shall never forget... Excellent - a great experience and good value. The accommodation was lovely and the food was fantastic.read more

I have been to Egypt four times (including a year of living in Cairo) and this is one of the most memorable experiences I have had in the country. It is utterly unique and a chance to see the rural lifeblood of Egypt.read more

I feel that I've found my paradise here... I'm planning to return often.read more

Travelling by felucca is by far the most environmentally friendly of experiencing the Nile. read more

Our amazing crew Eadil, Karim and Hesham were very kind and solicitous. Being 2 ladies travelling solo, we could not have had better care. They made us feel safe, anticipating all of our needs and made sure we felt it was completely our trip. We cannot recommend this trip highly enough. read more

Fantastic 10 days all arranged just days before leaving. Thanks for helping us put this together.read more

Overall Holiday was fun and enjoyable. All our guides were extremely knowledgeable. If the sustainability aspect is taken care of, then this is an amazing packageread more

The whole experience was wonderful. This was especially facilitated by the care, patience, knowledge, humour & experiential wisdom of our guide.read more

Lying on the sun beds listening to the waves lapping against the shore with the sun beaming down and a pleasant breeze. We wanted a quiet holiday and Dahab is perfect for that. read more

Very good.read more
