Jun 23, 2024An amazing trip of Cairo from Sharm el Sheikh. Expect a lengthy bus journey, but secure transit by convoy to assure passenger safety (if necessary). Be prepared to be out for around 24 hours, but it will be worthwhile! I loved the pyramids, the boat trip on the Nile, and the guide Jemmy, who was very interesting and knowledgeable about Egyptology. There were chances for restroom and convenience breaks, as well as food purchases. The food given as part of the session was also good. Overall, an amazing experience that I will never forget! Thank you, Egypt tours club team... It was helpful that they could communicate via WhatsApp to address queries, particularly concerning the e-Visa and passport stamp requirements for Cairo.

Jun 23, 2024We had the most incredible vacation; my mother and I made a day excursion from Sharm, leaving at midnight and returning at 4 a.m. +2 days. It was lengthy, but well worth it. Our guide, Ahmed (English-speaking), was great and very informed. Our bus driver and escort were also excellent, and there were several pauses to break up the route. The attractions are certainly once in a lifetime experiences!

Jun 23, 2024We had a great time on our excursion. Our tour guide, Ahmad, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. He went out of his way to make us feel at ease, and he was kind enough to take us to more sites than we had originally planned since we were a small group. Even the other staff members on the bus were pleasant and made us feel welcome. Great hospitality from the staff and an incredible tour to the Pyramids of Giza.

Jun 23, 2024Ahmad was an outstanding guide who provided us with valuable information and assistance during the excursion. I would suggest Ahmad to anybody and would gladly deal with him again in the future. It should be mentioned that the bus ride is quite lengthy, yet it is cost-effective and far cheaper than flying.

Jun 23, 2024It was an excellent tour, well-organized and prepared. Jemmy, our tour guide, was fantastic and explained everything at the museums. The cuisine for the buffet lunch was excellent; it was freshly prepared, and we were seated at a comfortable table. Overall, it was a fantastic event that provided wonderful memories. Thank you!
