I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Kemet Egypt Travel for their outstanding service throughout our trip. A special thank you to Ahmed and Mustafa, who demonstrated remarkable efficiency in swiftly handling complex situations and were highly responsive at all times.

01-Jan-2025

I used Egypt Direct Tours this year and traveled to Cairo, spending Christmas and my birthday there. Mohamed and Nasser did not disappoint! They did a great job covering a lot of Cairo and the culture and the "hotspots" in a short time. It was an amazing experience and if I do go back, I will definitely use EDT again! Thank you!

They were extremely professional but helpful in fulfilling our visa requirements for Egypt. They even sent their agent for us at the airport to meet and assist us, the agent arranged for our tours and transfers and even helped us in exchanging currency and getting a local sim card saving us a lot of extra hassle....so overall it was worth booking their services.

21-Nov-2022

I organized a 10 day tour for 16 friends to visit Egypt for the first time. We chose Egypt Direct Tour because Ahmed is very open to adjust the itinerary to accommodate our interest. I was a bit nervous before the trip. But everything worked out well. We were picked up and dropped off on time for our various flights, had very professional drivers for the whole time, and our two tour guides are very kind and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Egypt Direct Tour!

Naser was absolutely amazing!!! We are all the way from Australia and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! The most genuine person ever and took us everywhere we wanted to go! He took some incredible photos also! kamal k came everywhere with us too, made sure we enjoyed every moment. As a female in a new country I always feel anxious but this experience made me feel nothing of that nature because of these two gentlemen! So so so happy! You won’t regret this I promise!

18-Nov-2024

What a fantastic experience. Had issues with viator bookings, so looked up companies on Google and Egypt Direct did not disappoint. Organized through WhatsApp day before. Easy and painless Nasir and Bilal (sorry for my attempted spelling, my friends) met us in the morning, hit all of our dream points for the day, were warm and welcoming, and constantly ensured we were engaged with the plan. They helped us with key photo spots, ensured we liked what we did, and made sure we knew the history of what we were seeing. A strong recommendation from our group, and a delightful time.
