An amazing experience

24-Nov-2023

What an amazing trip! I trip I'll never forget! Visiting the temples, cruising the Nile, and experiencing the culture was 10/10. Youssa, our tour guide went above and beyond to make this trip fun. He's a wealth of knowledge and shared great information with us about the sites as well as Egypt. I definitely recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Egypt. An experience I'll remember forever!

Trip of a Lifetime!

15-Jul-2024

Favorite part of the tour was visiting the pyramids, temples and cruising on the Nile river.. Our Tour company " Egypt Tour Club" along with our Tour Guide Youssa. Youssa was top class. He was very knowledgeable about the history so learned many new and interesting facts. Youssa was also very welcoming and friendly and I would recommend both Youssa and Egypt Tour Club to anyone visiting. ................................... Tour included a 10 hour overnight sleeper train from Cairo to Ashwan. I also enjoyed this experience because I prepared with Disposable bed sheets, body wipes etc. I strongly recommend you do your research to decide if you want to do this part of the tour as its not for everyone. The sleeper cabin was a tight fit but it was what I expected. Do your research!

Our tour of Egypt, covering Cairo, Giza, Abu Simbel, and Luxor, was an absolute joy, largely thanks to the incredible guidance of Khalifa. His passion for Egypt's history and personable approach enriched every moment, making the journey an unforgettable exploration of ancient wonders. Khalifa's expertise and enthusiasm were the perfect companions, turning each site into a fascinating chapter of our adventure. Highly recommend!

An adventure through Egypt

24-Mar-2023

This was an amazing adventure trip I got to enjoy with a group of friends. Our tourguide Youssa was extremely knowledgeable about the pyramid and took us to all the amazing sights. We visited Cairo, Esna & Luxor. While cruising the Nile river and the experience of going through the Esna Locks was a sight to see. The shopping was great and we had an excellent guide. My only concern was the train ride extremely bumpy and the sleeper cabin's needs updating.
